if it doesnt feel real to me

5 years ago, Louis and I started this band with the goal in mind to just write music, to be who we are and to see how far we could take our music, and subsequently, how far it could take us. We’ve had the immense pleasure of touring with some of our favorite bands, recording amazing music with some of our now best friends in the world, and see some fantastic places and experience so many things as Dear You.  We added Mason and Thomas later at different times in our timeline of the band, and grew so closely with the both of them, that we all four just couldn’t imagine playing music with anyone else. The bond that is born through this sort of chemistry and involvement in each others lives really rises above what a normal brotherhood can be. We never really questioned what would happen if and when one of us left, and unfortunately we have had to come to that crossroad.  Mason has chosen to leave Dear You, and pursue his schooling away from music. We have nothing but love and support for Mason, and we have continually wished him the best in this new chapter of his life. When you get so close to these people in your lives, and expand these relationships past what you thought you had, you always want the best above all else for the people you care for. We have always pushed each other to do better, be better, and pursue exactly what we all want in life, and that is exactly the mentality we want Mason to remember as he continues onward. Mason has been a MASSIVE part of this band, and we are terribly sad to see his exit. We came to the point where we weren’t sure if Dear You could even continue without such an important member; whether we could cope with such a significant loss of our dynamic. We can’t lie and say things weren’t a little dark after we all had the talk about him leaving. There was a very serious discussion that was almost the end of this band. We ultimately just could not let that happen. We care too much about you guys, the people that validate EVERYTHING we do with our music, and what we live life for. We owe you all more than you could ever know, and we are pushing harder than ever before to show it.  With all of this being said, we have huge announcements to make. We have signed to Third String Records, and are more than excited to finally be in a position to bring you all the music you want to hear, the content that you really want to see, and tour enough to meet ALL of you. Mike Ziemer and Third String Productions have been an amazing blessing to this band, and believe in us just as much as we believe in ourselves. We are incredibly happy to say we are the first band signed to Third String Records as their relaunch unfolds, and together we are going to bring you so many good things.  August 20th, 2014, we will be premiering a brand new song and lyric video titled “Castles” with our great friends over at idobi Radio.  We are also incredibly pleased to announce that we will be releasing a brand new album in October of 2014, something we have been working tirelessly on for the past 6 months. We will release more information very soon.  Thank you so much, from the bottom of our hearts, for the years of support and love, and the very amazing relationships we have developed through this band. We are here, stronger than ever, and we have an amazing team who believe in us now. We are moving to the next level, and we are so thrilled that we have you all with us.  We love you all. Louis, Chris, and Thomas
