Says JON AND ROY “I think it's true that some of the time we all feel a little alien to this place we inhabit. That being said, there are always those times where we are brought back to the reality and beauty of our world. I think in these moments we feel happy because we are able to experience life as it is; a wondrous thing.” That connection to the joy, at times the loss love can bring is ever present in “Here.” The songwriting is excellent, well-crafted melodies and a hip feel that is a six four beat divided into a measure of four and a measure of two.
