There is so much more that binds us all together than breaks us apart, and that is why I wrote Bring Together.  It is time that we all overcome our differences so we can all live happier lives with brighter futures.  I wanted to release this song now in the hope that it might play a small part in reducing our divisions with more emphasis on empathy and compassion.  
 
With the COVID lockdown, I could not create the video I wanted for this song, but I was able to "bring together" footage from all my other released and unreleased videos in a very cool mashup.  I hope you enjoy it.  Please comment and subscribe.

BRING TOGETHER

You’re lookin out for you and I’m 
looking out for me and we’re 
looking out for us 
but tell me, whose looking out for each other?

You’re lookin at my skin and I’m 
looking at your skin and we’re 
looking at our skin 
but no one is looking too much deeper

You’re wantin your money and I’m 
wantin my money and we’re 
wantin our money 
but nobody wants to ever share it

You’re wantin your freedom and I’m 
wantin my freedom and we’re 
wanting out freedom but it’s us 
who gave away our freedom 

Bring us all together 
bring us
bring us all together 
‘cause we all want something better 

Bring us all together 
bring us
bring us all together 
‘cause we all want something better   

You’re  holding out for more and I’m 
holding for more and we’re 
holding out for more 
but look out we’re gonna lose what we got

You’re livin your bubble and I’m 
living my bubble and we’re 
living our bubble 
but somebody’s gonna burst our bubble 

You’re holding your cards close and I’m 
holding my cards close and we’re 
holding our cards close 
but someday we’re gonna have to play them
You’re livin on Wall Street and I’m 
living on Main Street and we’re 
living on our street 
but so many people they got no street

Bring us all together 
bring us
bring us all together 
‘cause we all want something better 

Bring us all together 
bring us
bring us all together 
‘cause we all want something better   

Bring us all together 
bring us
bring us all together 
‘cause we all want something better

Bring us all together 
‘cause we’re all in this together  
bring us all together 
‘cause we all want something better

Buy & Listen

The concept for this video began in 2017 when I finished a demo version of the song and sent it to the great Ukrainian composer and film director Sergiy Krutsenko in Kyiv. He wrote an orchestral score and brought in the Kyiv Radio Symphony Orchestra to play it. He then invited me to Ukraine to film the video in an epic production at a former Soviet prison camp and a centuries-old castle. The filming was both grueling and exhilarating.  The story is about a dystopian society where music is banned and musicians are executed for violating the "law of silence."  I play the role of the protagonist musician who opposes the dictator while his army of misfits constantly try to stop me but I always get away at the last second. This story is not only a metaphor for the actions of authoritarian regimes around the world but it foretold, in a sense, the 2022 full invasion of Ukraine by a dictator with a misfit army. And the lyrics of the song are the perfect power anthem for Ukraine with the chorus a defiant and unapologetic war cry toward victory--"We are the promise, we are the glory, we are the story."  Initially, we created the video not just for the song but as a pilot for a series on cable.  Unfortunately, COVID hit in 2020 before we could finish it, then the big war started in February 2022, and then my friend and mentor, Sergiy Krutsenko, died suddenly on  January 6, 2023 while he was at his workstation editing the video.   So his team in Ukraine finished it and hopefully, he is pleased with the final result. We will now actively push for a cable company to fulfill Sergey's dream to create a hard-hitting film series where famous musicians can make cameo appearances with me to fight against fascism.  On the anniversary of Sergiy's death, I dedicate this video to him and the people of Ukraine.   Please share, comment, like, and spread the new Ukrainian power anthem--"We are the promise, we are the glory, we are the story."

We Are The Promise

Why do people blindly follow leaders and media even when it hurts them? This is a question for the ages and the subject of Lobotomy. 

Throughout history, people, to their detriment, have followed leaders, propagandists, and snake oil salesmen like lemmings off the cliff.  Today, it is no different but more dangerous because of instantaneous media combined with mob mentalities.

The message is deep and the wake-up call is powerful.

LOBOTOMY

I see what it is that turns you on
everything you like is so unreal
You accept whatever they feed you
even when it’s bad you take the pill

Will you ever wake up? 
will you ever wake up, people?
Will you ever wake up to the truth?

Will you ever wake up? 
will you ever wake up? 
Will you ever wake up to the truth?

You act like you were born without a brain

I can’t understand why you follow
every little fling they lead you on
You gave up your mind to something else
that even every child would know is wrong

Will you ever wake up? 
will you ever wake up, people?
Will you ever wake up to the truth?

Will you ever wake up? 
will you ever wake up? 
Will you ever wake up to the truth?

You act like you were born without a brain
without a brain, without a brain, without a brain

You act like you were born without a brain
It’s such a shame, it’s such a shame, it’s such a shame

You act like you were born without a brain
without a brain, without a brain, without a brain

You act like you were born without a brain
