Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

Do you have an older brother or a younger brother, an older sister or a younger sister?

Some of you may be very close, while others, to be honest, may have grown distant.

It’s only natural that artists would choose siblings—those who were often the closest to us in childhood—as a theme for their songs, and in fact, many great tracks have been born from this theme.

In this article, we’ve put together classic Western songs about brothers and sisters from various eras and genres.

From timeless classics to recent standouts, enjoy a wide range of brother songs and sister songs!
