Brandy Alexander

Ron Sexsmith

As I try to be the man for her
Far across the sea and land for her
For deep within my blood is sand until
I drink what makes me mad for her

Whoa
She's my Brandy Alexander
Always gets me into trouble
But that's another matter
My Brandy Alexander

Why do I thirst for all the worst again?
Is it my addiction to this curse within?
As silently I must confess this sin
Tastes better after juice and gin

Whoa
But she's my Brandy Alexander (Alexander)
Always gets me into trouble (trouble)
But that's another matter
Oh, that's another matter

She's my Brandy Alexander
Always gets me into trouble
But that's another matter
Whoa

And deep within my blood is sand until
I drink what makes me mad for her

Whoa, yeah
She's my Brandy Alexander (Alexander)
Always gets me into trouble (trouble)
But that's another matter
Oh, that's another matter

She's my Brandy Alexander (Alexander)
Always gets me into trouble (trouble)
But that's another matter
Oh, that's another matter

She's my Brandy Alexander (Alexander)
Oh yeah
That's another matter

It goes down easy
It goes down easy
It goes down easy
It goes down easy
It goes down easy
It goes down easy

    So I don't know if this has anything to do with it but a major character in the Chuck Palahniuk book Invisible Monsters is a woman named Brandy Alexander. Anyone who has read the book will probably say it has nothing to do with it, but its a rabbit hole people could explore.

    This song was actually the, I guess you could say, "remake" to a song by Feist also titled "Brandy Alexander". The phrase "brandy alexander" is actually after the alcoholic drink "Brandy Alexander" that is made with none other than Brandy. Which is also where Chuck Palahniuk got his characters name from. The song sung by Feist is the girls point of view, this versin by Ron Sexsmith is the guys point a view. I highly reccomeng everyone to check out Feist if you havent yet!!

While the obvious connections with suicide or alcoholism could be drawn easily, more subtly this song could be about someone who views the world through a negative lens constantly and how as much as the writer tries to show the beauty in the world, this person refuses to see it. It's one or another between the rope and the bottle. There is no good option for this person. They can't see it. Skiba sings it in a kind of exasperated way like He's tired of hearing this negative view constantly and just allowing that person to continue feeling the way they feel knowing he can't do anything about it. You can hear it when he says maybe you're a vampire.

Moyet later described how her song "Goodbye 70's" had been inspired by her disillusionment with how the late-1970s punk scene had turned out, saying, "'Goodbye 70's' is about punk and not caring how you were dressed, and then I discovered that so many of my friends that I'd thought it all really meant something to just saw it as another trend... That's what 'Goodbye 70's' was all about, about how sour the whole thing became."
