‘’We were born and raised in the southern hemisphere, the land down-under… Australia. And in case you can’t tell, we are brothers.
Since before we can remember, music has been our life’s natural backdrop and soundtrack. Our Father was a music promoter turned entertainment manager which gave us a first hand introduction to a very eclectic mix of music and live shows.
In the early 90’s we moved to the USA after our Dad was offered a job in Nashville, Tennessee. Since then, we have traveled the world (together as well as separately) singing, performing and running various aspects of artists’ live shows.
It was out of experiences like these we began working on music together. We have spent the last several years writing and developing what we call our, ‘International-Pop-Rock’ sound.
Music has the peculiar ability to connect with the soul, and we want to use it to encourage… Life is a journey; full of highs and lows; triumphs and sorrows; these are the subjects we write about: Real human experiences. Whether that means sharing about honest struggles, asking unanswered questions, or talking about relationships, our hope is this music will inspire you and each song will relate to you, right where you are.’‘

for KING & COUNTRY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Down on calloused knees
Till I got an invitation
Into the courts of a King
I'm movin' on, I'm movin' on
I'm movin' on, keep moving
I'm movin' on, I'm movin' on
I'm movin' on
You gave me my freedom
Now I'm free indeed
I'm marching out of the doubt into trust
Out of the me into us
No turning back, no turning back
No turning back
I'm falling head over heels into love
Leaving regret in the dust
No turning back, no turning back
No turning
No turning back, no
And if I'm caught in the crossfire
I will stand my ground
And even if I were to lose my life
Your arms are where I'll be found
I'm marching out of the doubt into trust
Out of the me into us
No turning back, no turning back
No turning back
I'm falling head over heels into love
Leaving regret in the dust
No turning back, no turning back
No turning
No turning back, oh, oh no
Turning back, oh, oh no
Turning back, oh, oh no
Turning back, oh, oh no
I used to be a beggar
Now I'm free indeed
Out of the doubt into trust
Out of the me into us
No turning back, no turning back
No turning
I'm marching out of the doubt into trust
Out of the me into us
No turning back, no turning back
No turning back
I'm falling head over heels into love
Leaving regret in the dust
No turning back, no turning back
No turning
Back, oh oh no
Turning back, oh, oh no
Turning back, oh, oh no
Turning back, oh, oh no
No turning back, no turning back
No turning back, no turning back

Anybody else having read “the song of Achilles”? Whenever I hear the line “until I got an invitation to the court of a king” I have to think of this book, and I know Achilles hasn’t really been invited, the whole lyrics somehow fit perfectly to the story of Patroclus and Achilles going through their lives together…🤍

Hallelujah Only For Jesus
"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:38-39 ❣
