On "Oh Glory," Brother and The Hayes deliver a purposeful country song revolving around deceleration, contemplation, and living with intention. Inspired by Rev. Gary Davis's "Oh Glory, How Happy I Am," this song serves as an inoculation against modern society's obsession with materialism, social climbing, and shiny entertainment, while reminding us that happiness comes primarily through work worth doing and meaningful art.
This release is about making art, having something to show for it, and choosing satisfaction over diversion. "Oh Glory" follows the country music tradition of storytelling while speaking to today's struggles. The song's inspiration came from an authentic everyday experience, particularly for Jennie Hayes, who grapples with the disappointment of missing a party and the burdens of social media pressure combined with cultural standards that praise the notion that happiness is readily accessible but never really delivers what it promises.
The peaceful reflection gave way to a song that reminds people to stop, breathe, and connect more deeply with what's really meaningful. "Oh Glory" is a gentle reminder to reflect on what you are striving for and the value of taking on projects with purpose. The song is beautiful, pensive, and based on values often discounted in this digital age. Brother and The Hayes create a release that's both personal and universal, and it's a friendly reminder that pleasure doesn't come from looking at other people, but from being about our business, making something, and choosing the thing most comfortable to the soul.
