BROTHERS OSBORNE AREN’T FOR “EVERYONE.”

BROTHERS OSBORNE AREN’T FOR “EVERYONE.”
Artist
Brothers Osborne

Brothers Osborne says it’s absolutely okay not to be liked by everybody, like it says in their latest song, “I’m Not For Everyone.”

“’I’m Not For Everyone’ is one of our favorite songs on the record (Skeletons), because it really speaks a lot about our philosophy on life and it really speaks to us just being ourselves,” says John Osborne, one half of the brotherly duo. “At some point, you just have to realize that you can’t make everybody happy all the time. The second you realize that it really takes the pressure off of you and just allows you to be yourself. It starts off saying, ‘Some people clap on the 1 and 3 and some people clap on the 2 and 4 and some people don’t join at all because they don’t have any rhythm and that’s alright.’ We can all get along. We can all just coexist in the same place even though we might not get along outside of that place, and it’s okay to not be for everyone. My brother and I certainly are because we speak our mind and catch a lot of s%@ (beep)t for it.” (laughs)

The two are crisscrossing the country with their We’re Not For Everyone Tour, and they’re taking along Travis Denning and Tenille Arts. The next slew of dates for the trek include Wednesday (August 4th) in Toledo, Ohio and Thursday (August 5th) in Maryland Heights, Missouri.

Audio / Brothers Osborne’s John Osborne talks about their latest song, “I’m Not For Everyone,” which appears on their current record, Skeletons. NOTE: A beep was inserted near the end of the soundbite.
