It's been building up and now it's about to blow!!! I REALLY hope that you like these songs. It's the absolute best I could do, and it's the result of everything we have made together. Do you realize that? That's what this music is about. It's about YOU. All the concerts and celebrations and parties and ups and downs and mind-blowing times that we've had so far - it's all on here! It's a deep dedication to all of the believers who have found it in their hearts to love and enjoy the pleasures that this music strives to bring. YOU are who is making this, and the music intends on thanking you! Every song is working to be even more powerful than before! These songs are about the way that we feel - the way that WE feel together! All of us! These songs are about the fun that we're having and the lives that we're living! The music is about us! And I want you to hear every note and sing every word and feel every beat like it was made by you yourself! You have earned this! When I sat down to make this music, my dream was not to make it for myself - I wanted to make it for US! But before the music existed, I didn't know who "US" was. Then the music came out, the music was there, we found each other, and the celebration began - and it hasn't stopped yet! Now I know who "US" is! And I am so thankful that you're here. We are building a family and a faith that will reward us with pleasures and strengths we can only imagine! There's so much to come, as always, and these new songs will set our course. When I'm with this music and I hear it in my head, I feel like I can try and do anything. And when I know that you are there at my side and supporting me and feeling it too, then I KNOW that WE can do anything. That's the beauty of this: I myself alone, am not capable of doing what is entirely based on us, as a group - but you and this music with me together are stronger than a billion explosions, and that's superhuman! I have a reason to work and to live that goes far beyond my own self! I live for us, and for this!!! All those things that we've ever wanted - they have been inside of us all along, and this music is the sound of that discovery. All the things that we worried about from before, and all the fears that we have about what's to come, are nothing compared to the power that comes to us right here, right now - at the very moment that we listen to what has been screaming and thundering for our passion. This is for our pleasure! I don't know what else to say, because I can hardly even think - I'm so blinded by excitement!!! Please listen to the music, and then listen to it again and a few more times after that! The moment when you FEEL the music inside your brain and no longer have to think about it - THAT is when we know what it means to be alive! Thank you very much for all that you've given me so far! This is our next step, and we're taking it together! And no matter how hard this may be to swallow, and no matter how much me might want to blow this off, we cannot, because THIS IS WHAT WE CAME TO DO! And we're ready for it! With strength and endless gratitude...
