Brother Cephus’ “One Cold Hospital Room”
In months after Brother Cephus released Not That Important, Gabe and Seth Davis watched their father, Kent, succumb to cancer. December 8 marked the one-year anniversary of Kent Davis’ death, and to mark the occasion, Brother Cephus released a meditative song and donated proceeds from sales to cancer research. “One Cold Hospital Room” is painfully awash in the confusion that often accompanies the doldrums of life in world without your best friend. “To a couple members of this band he was a father and to most he was some sort of friend,” the band wrote online. “[The support] really means a lot to us as we continue to process the loss of our father and friend. Thank y’all for your time now go love on someone close.”
