Blood Sandwich
Aesop Rock
“Blood Sandwich” is Aesop Rock’s ode to his two brothers via anecdotal personal narratives.
The first verse and pre-hook paint a picture of his younger brother, Graham, by telling the story of a gopher interrupting one of his Little League Baseball games. The second verse and pre-hook characterize Chris, his older brother, by divulging his love of industrial and goth rock bands, and his rebellious punk attitude.
On Facebook, Aes said of the song:
I grew up as a middle child between two amazing brothers. There are many stories from our youth that we enjoy revisiting when we get together – stories that have become classics to us. I wanted to visit one story about each of them, and dedicate a song to the two people that shaped me more than anyone else in this world.
