<p>"As part of a debriefing process, operatives will often write letters to the boys and girls, men and women they meet while undercover. In these therapeutic letters, which stay tucked away in journals, they have a chance to say what they really want to say, but can't because of their roles as investigators. </p>
<p>This is the story of one of those letters. </p>
<p>It's the story of a 15-year-old girl named Blue. </p>
<p>And it's the story of both the heart and the haunting that our operatives carry with every mission."</p>

<p>We’ve traveled hundreds of thousands of miles together by air and interstate - and now making music together while separated in our isolated exile. </p>

We're meeting people all over the United States that are working towards freedom, justice and mercy. We've played at several festivals and events that have used their platform to shine a light on human trafficking. </p>
<p>We spent a lot of time talking to the guys from Switchfoot about Drew's involvement in Humans Against Trafficking. Jerome gave a word of blessing on our set at Soulfest in NH and Jon acknowledged our work with The Exodus Road during their set. He came out in the audience and thanked us for our work (photo below). We're trying to get other bands on board to buy their t-shirts from organizations that are rehabilitating survivors of trafficking. I gave a kimono made by Agape International Mission to Cali from Bethel Music. There are some new items at www.remedydrive.com/store </p>
<p>Matt Maher and I shared the stage in a songwriter round and I shared our song Sanctuary, a plea to love refugees. He said "well since David went there" and proceeded to play a song he wrote with a similar theme. </p>
<p>I wish you all could have been at all these events for all these moments but we know you are with us in spirit. We've listed our tour dates below including a trip to Germany. Thanks for continue to sing these songs with us! </p>

We sell elephants that they create at our concerts. </p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/147954/d6413b5e09071c307b5c4b89b952adb75a03ef1b/original/img-2911.jpg/!!/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>My daughters joined survivors of sex trafficking creating elephant pillows. The craft of creating the elephant pillows is part of a intensive program where these precious girls are being rehabilitated as they recover their lives and their youth. The trauma treatment includes art therapy, music therapy, school and life skill training. The girls we met were in their early teens. They hung necklaces made of jasmine flowers around all of our necks. Stella was so proud that she was given six and I only got two - she was the favorite. We ate lunch with Tasanee, the director of the safe house. She introduced us all by name and was so hospitable. </p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/147954/f32bc682ad38122fe63772ca2adea7276236670f/original/img-2730.jpg/!!/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_left border_" /></p>

They hold the hands of these children as they walk through the long road of recovery and restoration. It was such an honor for me to have my children eat lunch and spend a day with Tasanee. It was like sharing a meal with Harriet Tubman or Amy Carmichael. </p>
<p>Elephants are symbolic of the fight for freedom for me. Many elephants are abused around the world. Child soldiers are forced to poach them for their ivory to help fund warlords that kidnap children for front line conflict. Some elephants in Southeast Asia are chained and abused in exploitive tourism and treated poorly. Others are abused in circuses or for hard labor in the mountains carrying heavy weights and tree trunks that injure them. They are separated from their family units and exploited. </p>

<p>We spent a day at an elephant sanctuary where they are rehabilitated lovingly and respectfully. We bathed them, used a bristle brush all over their bodies, fed them and took them out for exercise. The staff pays close attention to their emotional and physical well being and recently rescued elephants are treated on an individual basis depending. They paired my 12 year old son Jack with an 11 year old adolescent boy. Ava and Anna were paired with a mother and son and Stella and I were paired with a mother and son.

These melodies remind my soul of hope and hope reminds me of sights yet unseen. We felt like it was time to give these songs a new life. </p>
<p>Hope is a melody - a beautiful sight for the worn and weary eye. Brighter than the fires on the West Coast, louder than the bombs in Syria, more vibrant than a virus, stronger that the winds of the tornado or the shackles of oppression. She stands in the wreckage of lost accomplishment, she walks in the rubble of broken dreams, when castles in the sand are washed away, when the moon goes blood red and the stars fall, when the flood waters rise, when the bottom drops out - there’s Hope sweet Hope like a star burning bright - when the sun goes down and the fears begin to fly. </p>
<p>I want the new recordings of these songs to amplify the melody of hope above the noise of fear and despair. <br><br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/147954/53129e474d1ad7f495c396a27382797f8f4f800a/medium/rd-hopesnotgivingup-cover.jpg?1470857179" class="size_m justify_center border_" /></p>3:20Remedy Drivetag:remedydrive.com,2005:Post/43325762016-08-19T10:15:26-05:002023-12-10T13:35:36-06:00Remedy Drive Song in Olympic Commercial This is from a few years back.

Better yet, the Nebraska band’s determination has led to new purpose on <span style="font-family: Helvetica; color: rgb(50, 51, 51);"><i>Commodity</i>, a conceptual set inspired by lead singer David Zach’s recent undercover mission work in Southeast Asia against human trafficking. This album raises awareness and the bar on creativity; it would’ve fit right in with the socio-spiritual best of Peter Gabriel, U2, and Simple Minds in the 1980s.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 18px; font-family: Helvetica; color: rgb(50, 51, 51); min-height: 22px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 18px; font-family: Helvetica; color: rgb(50, 51, 51);">Thematically, <i>Commodity</i> fits Zach’s vision; he hopes it “will sound like a captive’s dream of liberty—a defiant reminder that in the King’s kingdom the oppressed can find refuge, a child soldier can find safety, the trafficked daughter in the red light district can return to her innocence.” Thus we hear the truth in the title track’s declaration: <i>I’m a soul inside a body / I’m not a commodity</i>, the disgust in “The Wings of the Dawn”: <i>They’re taking beautiful and making it cheap / squeeze the soul, break the heart, steal the beat</i>, and the hope in “Under the Starlight”: <i>Maybe we can tear a little corner off the darkness</i>.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 18px; font-family: Helvetica; color: rgb(50, 51, 51); min-height: 22px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 18px; font-family: Helvetica; color: rgb(50, 51, 51);">Indeed, <i>Commodity</i> brings light while sonically matching the heavy air of its subject. The rising melody of “Commodity” is a heart’s cry poured over a muddy rhythm—something Switchfoot might attempt. The cleverly worded “Dear Life”—about the emptiness felt on this crowded earth—couples twinkling keyboards with a fuzzy bass guitar. The rapped verses of “Under the Starlight” spit stark opposites (<i>Kalashnikovs, eight year olds . . .</i>) before a lilting ‘70s pop chorus arrives. “The Wings of the Dawn” adds an angelic children’s choir to an industrial account of child sex slavery. It’s hopeful and harrowing.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 18px; font-family: Helvetica; color: rgb(50, 51, 51); min-height: 22px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 18px; font-family: Helvetica; color: rgb(50, 51, 51);">Despite the focused theme, Remedy Drive diversifies on occasion with good results. The worshipful “King of Kings” features the honeyed harmonies of special guest All Sons & Daughters. Two instrumental pieces—“June” and “The Sides of the North”—give listeners well-timed opportunities to decompress from the tough issues at hand. “Take Cover” reads like a needed lullaby, and “The Cool of the Day” imagines how peaceful the world used to be.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 18px; font-family: Helvetica; color: rgb(50, 51, 51); min-height: 22px;"> </p>
