The album serves as the musical journal of the last three years of the brothers’ lives, a life-changing time of growth, transition, revolution, and revelation. In addition to their professional success, both men married and Luke became a father. But Luke also faced a life-threatening illness that forever altered his perspective. By experiencing great depths of pain and fear, he now experiences more joy and hope than ever before.
