The Thomas Brothers are releasing ‘Across the Sea’ on the 7th of October - their first single since releasing their sophomore studio album “Together” in January of last year.
Inspired by the Charity Mercy Ships, ‘Across the Sea’ is a passionate anthem, which dives deep into the virtues of kindness and grace
Written and produced by the band’s frontman Samuel Thomas, ‘Across the Sea’ is a song with substance and meaning that displays his thoughtful songwriting abilities.
“We were greatly inspired by Mercy Ships to write a song about compassion. When we spoke with the charity, they encouraged us with the project and we loved the idea of promoting all the good that they do. It is inspirational to see how the charity is changing lives by providing medical care for Africa’s under-served poor"
"Sometimes song writing can be difficult and frustrating, but 'Across the Sea' just fell onto the page. It was a God-moment. I think it took about 5 minutes then I had the whole song."
"It's all in the first line, 'Come on and come with me, far across the sea...' It's an invitation to come on a journey and explore the amazing work Mercy Ships are doing for the underprivileged. I hope 'Across the Sea' touches hearts and encourages people to get involved and support the great work Mercy Ships are doing."
‘Across the Sea‘ follows other singles in the ‘Thomas Brothers’ discography. ‘Sorry’ was featured on the band’s sophomore full-length album, which was released early last year.
“‘Sorry’ is a hook-filled, upbeat pop song, but delve deeper and it’s a song with substance and meaning, both in its intricate instrumentation and its lyrical content” - music.net.nz
‘Sorry’ received radio play in New Zealand and landed at #13 on the NZ Hot 20 Singles chart.
