Here is story... I sort of composed... it can be the drawing board for the kind of thing that we would post on the website...

"Lonely Heroes over the past few months have been on a wonderful journey. We are five people with five diverse stories. Stories of loneliness and happiness. Stories of great loss and redemption. As of late we have become very aware of our own stories and the stories of people like you. We've found that something was lacking in our music. It was the essence of who we are as human beings. It was the substance of our passions and desires. Within each of us is a desire to see things set right in this hostile world. This happens to people all the time. They get jobs and then get disillusioned and then forget the very things that have defined them.

The beginning of this journey for us is really getting to sit down with each other and have a conversation. Our conversations have opened the world of stories that truly define us. We have come to a precipice that we no longer want music to be our driving force. Instead we want the very things that drive us to define the band. We want to be a band that serves those less than us as well as be a community for those that are lonely. And a voice and gateway for people that want to make a difference in their sphere. We essentially want people to be Heroes to the Lonely. We no longer just want to be Lonely Heroes. Instead we want people to join us and to become essentially Lonely Heroes with us. Lonely Heroes are people that recognize the hopelessness and redemption in their own story and have a desire give of themselves for the bettering of other people's lives. We want to create a movement of people that believe that they can make a real difference for the good in their own communities. This essentially is our vision. Good music is wonderful. Changing lives is priceless."
