well, i'm asking this for a friend. my friend bought "The Game" and asked me if there was a story behind the song "Sail Away Sweet Sister". is there a story behind it? Did Brian's mother have a miscarriage or something? Please help. Thanks.

i think he was just lamenting about being an only child.
P
i read it was about him at one point wanting a baby sister

Once, I wanted a baby brother.

Now, I've got one - and I want it to go away.

Or maybe in the same way as BoRhap was about Freddie coming to terms with being gay, SASS was about Brian coming to terms with being a woman trapped in a man's body...interesting possibility, hmm?
Thank you, God bless you, sweet dreams you lot of tarts, Good-bye!

I think he was drunk when he wrote that song, you DON'T want a sister Brian... I have one and am one myself, I know how irritating they are
but you don't give me comfort and a man's gotta get it somewhere -brian may i'll give you comfort brian XD

that's kind of like saying, "don't listen to music, because i heard this song and it was just DREADful."

I actually have a theory about this song, but I think it would be inappropriate to have such a discussion in public.

Maybe he was in love with a nun.

You know, those pesky chastity vows and all ?

Could break a guy's heart.

No offense to anyone else who responded, but I found this to be the most interesting reply of all.
