So regardless of which sex he is referencing in the song, I think it is about being with someone for quite some time and in the beginning you memorize their face, where beauty marks are, etc. And this song is a realization that after some time, he is still very much in love with this person but cannot express it as it is useless even trying. So he writes this song instead to express. And as for the brother part, maybe it is because he has been with the individual for a lengthy amount of time so it feels like they've grown up together in many ways. Like they have always been there. Like a sibling. I don't think this song is about Jesus and it shouldn't matter about which gender it is about though the obvious use of brother gives it a male connotation. |

Personally, I love this version better than the classic rock version as I'm in love with the lyric, I love you from the top of my heart. I find that to be passion filled actually. Usually when people have huge regrets or are sorry about things, they apologize from the bottom of their heart. I take it to be a heavy place; not one where love coexists in the bottom. Rather, love like hope, it floats. It leads to a flighted feeling, a feeling of lightness. |
