You and Your Sister
Lead vocals: Vrouw
Taal: Engels
"You and Your Sister" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Chris Bell, that appears on his only solo album I Am the Cosmos. It was released as the B-side to Bell's only single "I Am the Cosmos". Comparisons have been made to Big Star's "Thirteen", which Bell co-wrote with bandmate Alex Chilton, and is also an acoustic love ballad. Chilton sings backing vocals on the song.
Mark Deming of AllMusic described it as a "sweet, guileless love song" that "represents the sincerity and emotional innocence that Bell brought to his brief tenure in the band Big Star" that "make[s] more emotional sense than literal sense" and as "one of the great unknown love songs in the pop canon, a luminous and fragile ballad almost otherworldly in its beauty."
Two alternate versions of the song appear on the posthumous 1992 I Am the Cosmos release, an "acoustic version" and a "country version". The song is included in the 2009 Big Star box set Keep an Eye on the Sky.
