TWO NEW RELEASES!!

Two new singles from Red Queen Records (that's us) are out now!!!

"United (Angels' Anthem)" and "Relentless" are available now on all major music platforms.

"United (Angels' Anthem) conveys the idea that all people are one. It draws upon Spiritual concepts from various faiths and backgrounds, including the idea that the Divine is not only everywhere, but is within Us and a part of Us - and as such, we can say (philosophically) that we are all part of each other. It's ancient mystical wisdom. The lyric is delivered from the perspective of a fleet of Angels coming to heal the world. These warrior Angels are here to ensure that Love will win.

"Relentless" is about the power of Love. Love will always win, and trying to fight it is a losing battle. The lyric is delivered from the perspective of Love herself (apparently I just made Love a "she"). If Love could speak, she might say something like this...

There is so much to tell you about the songs, the journey, the artwork, the upcoming videos and more! We will be posting all kinds of fun things in the weeks and months to come. Why on earth did we release TWO songs in two days? (Thinking...) Probably because doing one thing at a time is just not something I can do??? Because I LIKE making an impossible amount of work the norm? Because sleeping at night is totally overrated? SMH. 

In reality, I think it has more to do with the times. It's the message. Millions of people are talking about how crazy these times are now. We feel like these songs convey a message and a Spirit that needs to be heard and felt. Now. Right now.

We thank you in advance for liking and sharing and being a part of spreading messages of Love and Unity. 

Love,

T

Repost: SPECIAL EDITION BLOG - "Superhero (Song for St. Jude)"

It's been a while since this very special song and fundraising effort has appeared in this blog. I would like to start including a link to it in upcoming posts. 

This is a repost of "SPECIAL EDITION BLOG - Superhero (Song for St. Jude)" as originally posted in January of this year... Many thanks to everyone who helps us spread the word and to those who help support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Namaste,

REPOST:

Hello everybody...

We are so excited to announce the release of our new song, "SuperHero (Song for St. Jude)," with proceeds going to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital!

Some time ago, Russell and I were asked to perform at a college event to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. We had seen commercials for St. Jude and were familiar with the remarkable story of its inception by founder Danny Thomas. We offered not only to perform at that event, but to go a step further and also write a song to be released with proceeds going to benefit St. Jude.

We sat down as songwriters, seeking inspiration and more information about the hospital. What we learned about St. Jude moved us to tears of joy. Its history, groundbreaking research and extraordinary contributions to families around the world affected by life threatening diseases filled us with extreme pride in their astounding accomplishments.

We learned about the most amazing children whose courage and strength are inspirational beyond measure. Words can scarcely describe their incredible spirit. To us, they are superheroes. Thus, the concept for the song “SuperHero (Song for St. Jude)” was born.

While so many of us find it easy to complain about little things, these kids fight for their very lives. They do it with bright, smiling faces and beam with positive energy. They are leaders, showing us all how to live with courage, strength, hope and joy.

Our song’s story is about a fictitious little boy who finds his strength in helping others. He is a secret superhero who delivers “heaven’s kisses sprinkled on ice cream” along with love and strength to those in need. He takes away pain and fulfills wishes inside the dreams of others.

It seems like this is exactly what the patients at St. Jude do and the facility itself does for the world by showing us all that anything is possible. Danny Thomas once asked St. Jude Thaddeus, the patron saint of hopeless causes, for guidance. After over fifty years of miracles, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital gives hope to us all.

Thank you to all of the superheroes who have made St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital a beacon of hope. This song is our gift to you.

To help raise funds, we encourage you to buy a copy of the song for yourself and gift it to someone as well. We’ve also set up a page on the St. Jude website (link below) for those who wish to make additional donations toward our fundraising efforts. Thank you.

"SuperHero (Song for St. Jude)"

Memory's so vivid

Of that old soul in a young kid

The most amazing child I've ever met


Not a hair upon his head


Superman sheets on his hospital bed

And a smile so bright you never would forget


I was just starting to wonder


How he kept from going under


'Cause he was brimming full of laughter and life


As he told me with a twinkle in his eye

I fly around at night


Up into the starlight


And loop around the moon


High above, where I can see


Anyone who needs me


Then I sneak into their room


I bring them heaven's kisses sprinkled on ice cream

Delivered in a dream

I asked him how he first knew

'Bout the super-cool things that he could do


He said "Once I met a girl who looked so sad

And that night, sometime after eight


I turned my sheets into a cape


And went to show her things were not so bad"


Those crayon drawings on the wall


Of him flying right down the hall


And a little girl who laughed 'till she turned blue


Convinced me that just maybe it was true


When he said

I fly around at night


Up into the starlight


And loop around the moon


High above, where I can see


Anyone who needs me


Then I sneak into their room


I bring them love and strength and anything they need


Delivered in a dream

All superheroes get to fly, you see


Next time you see a shooting star


You'll think of me

I fly around at night


Up into the starlight


And loop around the moon

I fly around at night


Up into the starlight


And loop around the moon


Up up and away, where I can see


Anyone who needs me


Then I sneak into their room


I bring them heaven's kisses sprinkled on ice cream

I bring them love and strength and anything they need

I take away their pain, no wish is too extreme


Delivered in a dream

Ba ba ba ba ba ba

Ba ba ba ba ba


Ba ba ba ba ba


Ba ba ba ba ba ba

Ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba

Delivered in a dream

words and music by Tanya Diona, Joey Diggs, and Russell Graham
