‘’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.’‘

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Out of touch, out of reach in the great divide
Parallel lines, ooh
Hear the rain, count the drops on the window pane
Wide awake, stale mate, why do we play this game?
Oh God, I hate this game
Throw open the doors
What are we waiting for?
Yeah
Let's be pioneers
And we'll build our home
In the great unknown
Yeah
Let's be pioneers
There's a song that we sang on our honeymoon
I remember all the words but forgot the tune
Why are we out of tune?
Let's forgive and let's forgive again
I'm reaching out to my sweetest friend
Can we start again?
Throw open the doors
You know my heart is yours
What are we waiting for?
Yeah
Let's be pioneers
And we'll build our home
In the great unknown
Yeah
Let's be pioneers
And we'll build our home
In the great unknown
Yeah
Let's be pioneers
Let's be pioneers
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
The lyrics of "Pioneers" by for KING & COUNTRY portrays a couple who are lying beside each other but are distant emotional and mentally. They are out of touch and out of reach, living in parallel lines, never touching or connecting intimately. The singer feels frustrated with the situation, feeling like they're playing a terrible, unfair game that they hate. However, the chorus of the song is an invitation to the partner to throw open the doors to their hearts and build a life together as pioneers. They want to start anew, get back in tune, forgive each other, and begin again in the unknown.
The song's overall message is about taking a leap of faith and stepping into the unknown. Pioneers are people who go ahead and explore new lands and territories, regions that have never been explored before. The singer wants to live a life that is not dictated by societal expectations or norms. They want to take risks, make choices, and build a life of their own. They want to embrace the journey of exploring new lands, wandering in the great unknown, and creating their unique path together.

God is so amazing. I'm a survivor of stage 3 breast cancer and he delivered me from Crack. Now I'm a manager at the place I work for and I live for him. Every morning I play this song at work and it helps me and my coworkers get through our day. I love God.
