NEWSFLASH :::::: ANNOUNCEMENT :::::: NEWSFLASH
"First off, in case you can't tell we're brothers. We were both born in Sydney, Australia and we've been around music basically since birth. Our Dad was a music promoter and record label owner and introduced us to an eclectic variety of live shows during our growing up years, from acts such as pop star Amy Grant to heavy-metal group Stryper (Good stuff!). For both of us music has always been the natural backdrop of our lives...
In 1991 our Dad got offered a job in Nashville, TN. So with our mum pregnant and our four siblings (so that makes six, without including the baby on the way) we grabbed sixteen bags and moved to the US... Since then, apart from school and playing sport we've travelled with various artists all over America and the world singing BGV's and running different aspects of their lives shows. We're now 22 (Joel) and 20 (Luke) and have over the last year and a half been writing, performing, and working on music as a duo.
Music is more than just a gig to us. It somehow has the uncanny ability to speak to the heart, and we believe it should be used to convey a positive message. Life is a journey full of ups and downs and we want to write about the real things that we're going through and hopefully others in our generation will be encouraged that someone else struggles with the same issues that they do. We also want to write music that resonates with people... music that speaks about real life issues, whether that means telling about our honest struggles, asking unanswered questions, or talking about relationships. The truth is that we write what we're walking through at the time and our hope is that this will be an encouragement to others and something they can relate to."
Something's Gotta Give
Joel & Luke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something always becomes the prey
Of who we are and how we live each day
Something's gonna give
Something never will be the same
But we won't know if we do not change
What's round the bend
And it can't be planned for
I cannot see why your dying inside of in me
Why everything is colliding in-front of me
Now something's gotta give
Something's gotta give
What will it be
What will it be
Someone's gotta give
Someone's gotta love in a way
That never ends, that is new everyday
Cause everyday we live
Everyday we're one step away
From what we fear
And what we cannot change
And we don't know
What's round the bend
I'm starting to realize
Now it's time
To rearrange
But how has it all got to this place
Now it's time
To make a change
That takes me to another place
Ideas,
Life is about relationships
But is so near to/And what we don't want to say
After the change when ? rearrange
We rearrange and everything will change
Climbing to get where we never can ever be
I cannot find what the truth of this life should be
I cannot hide that I'm
Wrestling to find what the truth of this life should be
Fighting the times wrestling inside of me
The song Something's Gotta Give by Joel & Luke is reflective of the reality that change is an unavoidable aspect of life. The repeated phrase "something's gotta give" alludes to the fact that there is always something that needs to change in our lives, something that needs to be let go of or adjusted in order for us to move forward. The lyrics reflect the idea that there is always some kind of sacrifice that we must make in order to grow and become better versions of ourselves. The lyrics imply that we often become complacent in our lives, and we are hesitant to make the changes that could ultimately make us happier and more fulfilled.
The song also touches on the idea of relationships and how they are an integral part of life. The line "life is about relationships" is a poignant reminder that our connections with others are what make life worth living. The lyrics suggest that we need to invest in our relationships, to love others in a way that is new and fresh every day. In doing so, we have the opportunity to create an unbreakable bond that transcends time.
Overall, the song Something's Gotta Give is a powerful reminder that change is inevitable, and in order to grow and live life to the fullest, we must be willing to let go of that which no longer serves us.

I miss how sweet their brotherly harmonies were together before they became for KING &COUNTRY. Of course I still love them now but the music is very different. Maybe one day they will do an unplugged type of record. ❤🎤
