The pandemic of COVID-19 really hit us hard in mid-March. After debuting at the Mountain View Spring Bluegrass Festival, one concert after another on our Louisiana tour was canceled. In the middle of all the uncertainty, David Stewart and Mark “Brink” Brinkman, reached out to us with a brand new song, “Love is the Key”. As soon as we heard it, we immediately jumped in with both feet to arrange it and release a performance video on Facebook. In less than 48 hours, the song hit over 50K views! The video gained even more traction when Bluegrass Life, the world’s largest network for bluegrass, shared it on their own Facebook page, reaching 100K views and still climbing. Almost immediately after posting, we received several messages from fans wondering if we had a copy of the song to buy and if not, when would we. A week after the song was pitched to us we were able to record in studio with our producer, Ben Isaacs, of @The Isaacs. We knew we wanted this song to reach as many people as possible, so we reached out to Sammy Passamano III, with @The 615 Hideaway Entertainment to help us with radio promotion. We are excited to share the message of this song to the world!
“Fear so often locks us in. It blurs our vision and ultimately keeps us from all we were meant to be. This song talks about the key to release us from fear—love. Love alone is the answer. We want this song to be a ray of hope in these dark and scary times. We want you to be free, free from the lies, free from fear.” – The Family Sowell
LYRICS:
This world is filled with trouble…hearts are full of hate
The walls are closing in…there seems like no escape
But, love’s the greatest gift…God gave to you and me
Fear is the lock…love is the key.
If the Devil finds your shoulder…he’ll whisper in your ear
Telling lies about tomorrow…filling you with fear
You can stand up to Satan when you’re down on your knees
Fear is the lock…love is the key.
Fear is the lock…love is the key
Call on His name…He’ll set your spirit free
Jesus cut the master key that day on Calvary
Fear is the lock…love is the key.
It doesn’t matter if you’re rich…you’re hungry or you’re poor
We are all the same…when despair is at the door
There’s nothing on this earth…God’s love can’t defeat
Fear is the lock…love is the key.
Fear is the lock…love is the key
Call on His name…He’ll set your spirit free
Jesus cut the master key that day on Calvary
Fear is the lock…love is the key.
Jesus cut the master key that day on Calvary
Fear is the lock…love is the key.
“Love is the Key”
