"Brother" was the first single from Confetti, the third album by Australian indie rockers Little Birdy, and it only just made the record. Singer and guitarist Katy Steele wrote it toward the end and wasn't convinced it was any good; she played it for the others at the end of a rotten day, and according to Matt Chequer it became a last-minute addition while they were recording at Sing Sing Studios in Melbourne.
Paul Kelly came in to sing backing vocals and play harmonica, and the band said he threw himself into it so completely that he felt like one of them for the day. On stage and in the video, bassist Scott O'Donoghue, known as Barney, takes over the harmonica. It first went out as a free download and got as high as 90 on the national singles chart.
