Brother and The Hayes strike gold in life’s simple joys with “Oh Glory”

Brother and The Hayes’ new song, “Oh Glory,” is a soulful reminder of what really matters in a world full of social media pressures and the never-ending search for approval. After missing a friend’s party and spending a quiet night thinking about it, Jennie Hayes wrote a song that is both very personal and very relatable.

The song is based on the famous song “Oh Glory, How Happy I Am” by Reverend Gary Davis. It talks about the conflict between a society that values individualism and the quiet happiness that comes from doing work that matters. “Oh Glory” doesn’t say anything about how people are obsessed with material success and comparing themselves to others. Instead, it celebrates the joy that comes from making things, working hard, and going after what you want.

The most important thing is not the end goal but fully participating in the journey, whether it’s in art, craft, or everyday life. The words of the song make you think, and the melody is both grounded and uplifting, giving you a sense of warmth and perspective. Every note seems to say that happiness is not something you can buy but comes from doing simple things and being there.

“Oh Glory” is a peaceful protest against the noise of modern life. It reminds us that putting down our phones and doing things that are important can make us happy in a way that no social media highlight reel can. In a world that always wants more, Brother and The Hayes tell us to stop, think, and enjoy the fruits of our labor and the richness of our journeys.
