    A note from Damian:
    Late last year, we dedicated a cover of the Zombie’s classic “This Will Be Our Year” to everyone who doesn’t share our politics or our world view. Now we’re releasing it with none of the politics attached, so we can all look forward together as the miserable year 2020 recedes in the rear view.
    "This Will Be Our Year” is one of my favorite songs of all time, and it’s more timely than ever. After such a catastrophic year - so much that we rely on just crumbling beneath our feet - it feels good to add a drop to the world’s bucket of hope and optimism. Like the song says, this year was a long time coming, and I pray we look back on it as the time when things got better.

    The Zombies were a great band. This is one of my favorites.

    It’s been 20 year since I saw the MTV video of Get Over It. I was maybe a week away from leaving the US to be a missionary for my church for two years. In my journal I wrote down two bands I had just discovered and which I didn’t want to forget while I was away: the Strokes, and OK GO.
    Fast forward a bit and I got a “mix tape” with the Hi-Fi version of “This Will Be Our Year” on it. It has been a song of hope and perseverance for me since then.
    In 2014 I became a choir teacher and had my students close out my first holiday concert with this song, it was a rough year as a first year teacher. But this song gave me hope and introduced my students to one of my favorite bands.
    Damien, Tim, Dan, Andy, thanks for shining where you shine. You guys keep inspiring me, through good times and bad, to look for creative solutions to the challenges I face. We love you:)

    This is such a beautiful song. I only got into OkGo last November but they helped me through some really difficult time. This really made me think about being hopeful for the future, and how I will have a good year next year. For starters, I learned I was autistic in December so that will surely help me have better year because I understand myself more. Here's to a lovely song and hoping for a great year!

      With a president who has accepted bribes from China, has a history of lying, who is suffering from dementia and has just put back kangaroo courts in universities to strip men of their due process rights, while also allowing men to compete on women's sports teams, what could possibly go wrong? I mean it took Biden less than 24 hours to break his own mask mandate. He really knows how to get things done.

    Do you know, do you have any idea what you all mean to me? You are my personal victory over suicide. You taught this hopeless young man to search not for fishers or even for fishers of men, instead you taught me how to teach myself to fish. I am so much stronger now, I stand resolute within a freedom that is mine, that no person can take. if I were to visit my past self he would be instantly blinded by the unbounded and uncontainable grace that my soul has found now and despite all. Never, ever, ever, ever give up, you don't see even yourself until a proper time comes and what lays down before you the yellow brick road holds behind it a great secret that makes all trials worthwhile so long as you walk it's hidden path. Follow the clues, this band is one such clue and is among many of those presented through various mediums. This is life, truth and love by way of music.
