about

With a new album, our first in more than two years, just a few weeks off, the Beausage Brothers offer a second single from the Covid-era hiatus. The time away has given us a chance to reflect on our sources — Americana, folk- and country-rock, jangle-pop — and to revisit the music that shaped us, as well as to re-imagine where we might take it all. It’s been lonely, but good things can come from being alone.
Writing and recording “The Opposite Is True” was, after the more experimental “Shakespeare in the Park,” kind of a personal indulgence. It’s a chance to revel in our love of the jangle pop/rock of the ’60s and ’70s. It’s a song made for the radio of that era: 12-string shimmer, country- and Beatle-based harmonies, and a lyrical twist on first love. (Oh, and there is mandolin, as well.) You’ll find much of the album to follow more musically adventurous. Hope you enjoy it, and much more to follow soon!

lyrics

The Opposite Is True

I think about that song on the radio
We were on the beach, the sunlight fell on you
We were half asleep, and it was years ago
I only know the last line was “the opposite is true”

I should have known I never had a chance in hell
You were the best in show, I could only play the fool
I couldn’t play guitar, I couldn’t dance that well
But when I fell for you, it was the deep end of the pool

Chorus
I knew about the spells that you could cast
And I heard about the damage you could do
The bad girls told me nice guys finish last
And the bad boys, they were scared to death of you

I think about that night I made a leap of faith
Or was it me just jumpin’ off that cliff
It was a long way down, it was an endless wait
And every now and then, the jump is worth the risk

Chorus 2
But it turns out that the opposite is true
No, I never saw you break a single heart
In all those sorry stories about you
It was me who ended up the one that’s heartless
Me who finally played the villain’s part

I think about that song that we used to know
As I drove away, the sunlight fell on you
If I could go back to that day, I’d go
But the fact is that the opposite is true
Yeah, the hard truth is, the opposite is true
We both found out, the opposite is true
