Don't Mean Broken-Michael Bruner

The song opens with elegant strumming of acoustic guitar and is soon joined by fast-paced drumming on percussion. The tune then turns into a reggae-flavored melody and stays so for quite some time. Bruner’s lush voice and keening flute adds a cool, tropical vibe to the music.
