Super Friends. On June 14, 2023, we will be releasing 'Revelations'; the last and final single as part of our 10 song album titled "11:11", which is tentatively scheduled for a worldwide launch on July 1, 2023.

Over the past year, we have experienced much, witnessing a seemingly heightened velocity of change, often times elevating our senses into unfamiliar territory/circumstances. Situationally we have been challenged with observing, comprehending/interpreting and adapting, all the while attempting to maintain a sense of consistency and balance both as individuals and in our respective familial relationships. Tolerance, perseverance and hope sometimes seems to be waning. But, perhaps such 'Revelations' are essential for us to endure so as to become stronger, more connected and better equipped to mindfully experience the future, with enriched wisdom and reflexive enlightenment.

Thank you for your friendship and support. Smile today.
Love to you,
D and Chuck (pictured in the center of the attached image)

Life is hard, and our time here together on earth is short. We are not perfect. We are not indestructible. We fail often and sometimes succumb to, and accept failure as a disposition of our identity/reality. Perhaps we care as much as we are careless, and as a result, become respectively strengthened through engagement, and adversely weakened from habitual disengagement. We all have endured losses and hardships. We are all afraid. Our instincts sometimes seem more finely tuned to perceive fear, hearing only single notes, vs. being open to an interpretation of harmonious parts, in concert, as a revelation of the human experience. We will not agree on everything. But, disagreement does/should not mean disfavor, dissociation or disdain, rather an opportunity to listen, learn and understand.

Are we capable of being better individuals? Are we gifted with the ability to love and to accept love? Does each day represent a new opportunity for us to be the best version of ourselves? I would reply to these questions by saying that each day is a "new beginning"; to listen, learn, love, fail, recover, appreciate and be our best selves.

Recently someone asked me what is it that I am hoping to 'get' out of the music and songs we have been creating and releasing lately (i.e. money, notoriety, fame etc). My response was that I am not looking to 'get' anything, rather that I am focused on 'giving'; giving my best effort despite my limitations, giving my full focus and energy on writing something that can reach people to help improve their lives/general awareness and giving me the courage to keep trying to be a better person. In turn, I actually 'receive' the gift of enlightenment and purpose in an organic fashion, which is invaluable and altogether intangible. And, today, I am humbled to give you 'New Beginnings' and a message of encouragement to be the best version of yourself, each and every day. The song purposely builds tension in the beginning, and is a bit on the hard side, but then it releases softly toward the end. Stylistically it's s a bit like Linkin Park meets Weezer. And also pardon for the long message.

Love to you,
D and Chuck; and with expressed tribute appreciation to co-producer and cover artist Justin Heimer and brother Robert Rite

LYRICS
In time it’s come to pass.
Effigies in plumes and defiled in smokeless symbolism.
Atoning for historic failures.
Ironic induction shadows on toxic sagas.
Tribalizing up minds,
subconscious digitized,
off of fumes from a device.
A series of signals that broke us to ration love into a passion for loss, and so....

We can lift the weakened,
arm in arm with me.
Then weakened give a weak hand,
a bridge to peace.
We can lift the weakened,
arm in arm with me.
Then weakened give a weak hand,
a bridge to peace.

Light shines evermore today.
Streaming out scenic events,
forming endless new beginnings again.

Enlightened from the past.
Yet enemies confuse up the signage left to offer wisdom.
Forces willed with opposing scandals,
igniting and conducting each other into vandals.
Dignified in their eyes,
conscious digitized,
and consumed by the device.
A period, trivial and prone to a faction form, loathing love, actioning losses, so.....

We can lift the weakened,
arm in arm with me.
Then weakened give a weak hand,
a bridge to peace.
We can lift the weakened,
arm in arm with me.
Then weakened give a weak hand,
a bridge to peace.

Light shines evermore today.
Streaming out scenic events,
forming endless new beginnings again.

Enigmatic - Worldwide Release. Lyrics and inks below.
Thank you all for your support. Love

Now is the time.
Heavy heart and head ready to rest,
Selfish from cause to affect.
Inner sense, depth in reverence,
It seems, but no regrets,
Lest some greed.
I feed, you feed, we need,
Uh huh, guilty indeed.
Moving in forceful discourse with a heft of debt,
Heavily unsteadily imbalanced for the portion that’s left..
So its time!

And you can hear it right?
And you can feel it right?
de-vice funk-o-phile progeny poltergeist!

What is in sight?
Blurred events reflecting dissonance,
Anamorphosis effect.
Enemies preaching to extremes,
With malcontent,
Foraging greed.
I need, you need, we feed,
Uh huh, guilty indeed.
Opposable force fields motion disproportionate commotion,
Audible, optical enigmatic cognitive torsion.
It’s time!
And you can see it right?
And you perceive it right?
Inhabitants attrite dividing minds.
You can conceive it right,
And you can make it right,
With de-vice funk-o-phile progeny poltergeist!

Just go away, you!

And you can hear it right?
And you can feel it right?
You can conceive it right,
And you can make it right,
With de-vice funk-o-phile progeny poltergeist!
