STORIES (DOWN TO THE BOTTOM)

“The verse I sing is personal to me, and I love that. We all wrote from our hearts and our life experience. I picture all my friends and me singing this together because we all go to the bottom in life, and we can go together. We don't have to do it alone.  It's the beauty of living life together, and sharing in the good and the bad!”

ANTHEM

“It's our girl song! I can't hear this song without wanting to grab all my girls, jump in the car and go for a girl's night out. I think we girls can feel there are so many things we have to be or work toward, and it's usually not who we are. But there are so many beautiful, strong things each girl has that sets her apart! I think this song celebrates our differences and our uniqueness. We can be strong, tough, graceful and meek."

-Tricia
BOWLING BALL

“Tricia and I wrote this song for each other. We have both dated guys that weren’t best for us. But when you are in the relationship, you can't see it. ‘Bowling Ball’ is our way of saying this.”

PURE

“Max and Matt wrote this song after watching a snowboarding show on TV. When you are focused and in the flow of things, you have a good run and everything just glides past. That's how it is with our lives when we are focused on God. You are in the pure flow, and life just flows around you.”

-Melissa
WISHES

“I remember saying to Max, ‘I wish I could just stop wishing - wishing that life could go back to the way it was and I'd feel ok again.’ I never want to live that way again. Sometimes you know it's time to let go. You have to move on and stop hoping in anything but God’s future for you. Max said, ‘Now that's a song!’”

BEAUTY FROM PAIN

“This came from a struggle, a broken heart, and a time in my life when things fell apart. My dreams seemed to be coming true and then, in one conversation, they all fell apart. All I had left was God and to believe He was with me. He cried with me and helped me believe there was a purpose to the pain. The Bible became so real to me, and I meditated on Scripture like I had never done before. One passage, Job 23, is what inspired this song. Verse 12 read: ‘But when He has tested me, I will come forth as gold.’ I held onto that, and He didn't fail me! I know so many other people have and will relate to that kind of pain and loss. That's part of the beauty of the pain... helping other people through their pain.”

IT'S ON

“I find it so easy to get comfortable. I like being safe and in my comfort zone. It's not always easy to take steps toward the unknown, or to learn something new, or to try something scary. No one else can do it for us. We have to take the steps, and we are usually stronger after each step of faith.”

-Tricia
SUDDENLY

“I think this last year has been so reflective for all of us. We can easily get stuck in this image we make of ourselves, of what we see when we look in the mirror. But it’s an amazing feeling when God opens our eyes to see we aren't who we were! He has taken us through life, through pain and joy and has made us more like Him. It's new and scary, but we can admit that we are finally okay with who we are. That’s a beautiful thought and place of rest!”

-Tricia
COURAGE

“I think the most powerful way to tell a story is to be completely vulnerable and honest about ourselves. This song isn't preaching a message. It's a true story. I pray people will be touched by it and will be willing to see where they hide their struggles, their pain and then have courage to tell someone. They need people they can let into that secret life and love them through it. We aren't meant to make it through life alone. None of us have it all together.”

-Tricia
WE LIVE

“We see pain, hurt and heartache everyday all around us. We can choose to let it get us down and depressed, or we could use it to teach us to embrace the moments that we have and to live bigger and love stronger. That’s what this song is about.”
