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."

Joel & Luke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Black hole in a broken heart
Took your innocence and left a scare
Crossed lines and crashed your world
Tore your soul in two
Too much to lock you're door
Trapped this uncivil war
What this could make of you
Pre Chorus 1
Will it echo
Is it waiting
To determine
What will become
Chorus
You will be sane
You will be free
This won't decide
Who you're gonna be
You will be safe
You will be new
The cycle will break
The future will change
And you will be sane
Verse 2
Scared that the secret might come out
And you're gonna loose what you barely found
Caught in the loop... that wines you back
But anyone can change
Pre Chorus 2
Take a chance now
Cause it waiting
It's not the end here there's more to come
Bridge
Scream it out loud
And watch all of the pieces crumble down
Tell it to me now
And darling thats how freedom will be found
The lyrics of "Sane" by Joel & Luke talks about the journey of a person who has been hurt and broken by someone they trusted. The first verse describes the pain and trauma the person went through after their heart was broken. The line "Black hole in a broken heart" emphasizes the magnitude of the hurt they feel. The person's innocence was taken away, leaving them with a permanent scar. The second line, "Crossed lines and crashed your world" describes how their life was turned upside down. The broken heart had a ripple effect that made them feel like their entire world has collapsed. The phrase "Tore your soul in two" emphasizes just how deeply they were affected.
In the pre-chorus, the lyrics ask if the pain will continue to echo and if they will be able to overcome it. It is uncertain if they will be able to make it through this difficult time. The chorus is about being hopeful for the future. The repetition of the phrase "You will be" is emphasizing that the person will overcome their pain and trauma. They will be sane, free, safe, and new. It is saying that their past will not define their future; they will break the cycle of hurt and change their future for the better.
The second verse is about the fear of the person's secret coming out, and they will lose what they have just found. The line "Caught in the loop... that wines you back" describes how the person feels like they are trapped in a cycle that they cannot break, but the lyrics remind them that anyone can change. The pre-chorus is telling them to take a chance and not to give up, that there is more to come.
The bridge is about finding freedom by speaking out and telling their story. By giving voice to their pain, they can finally be released from it. The line "And darling that's how freedom will be found" emphasizes that they will find freedom by being brave and speaking their truth.
