Standing in the middle of an intersection at one of the poorest areas on the planet- everything seems to come together. Two days in Manila was certainly not enough time – and if we hadn't had the pressing needs and deadline of the new record upon us we probably would've stayed longer. But it was enough to begin a new era for me solidifying the purpose and meaning behind the songs on #album10 and why we sing. We sing because we're alive, we sing because we're looking for resolution, we sing because we're thirsty for more, we sing because hope deserves an anthem. - jon
