DISPATCH released the “Bound By Love” single on June 29, 2015 to coincide with their DISPATCH: HUNGER concerts at Madison Square Garden. The concerts took place on July 10th and 11th. Dr. Dog opened the July 10th concert and John Butler Trio opened the July 11th concert.
“We recorded this in Australia! This was a really unique recording for the three of us because we were not on our usual instruments. The basic tracks had me on drums, Chad on piano, and Brad on bass. That configuration allowed us to explore a completely new sound. And I have to say for myself, it was a dream come true to actually play the drums on a Dispatch recording! I know about two beats and I think I used them both on the recording of Bound By Love.”

Maybe we'll meet on the road From Darwin up to Jericho I hear the old ones softly say
For the weak For the strong For the old For the young We are bound, we are bound, bound by love
They tell me to cross the river but I cannot swim I see my mama and she's getting thin She's doing everything to keep us fed and warm
For the weak For the strong For the old For the young We are bound, we are bound, bound by love
Don't you know ma says if you're going to go fast, then you go it alone Don't worry ma, I'm out in the field and I'm taking it slow, together we'll go
We are, we are, bound by, bound by We are bound, we are bound, bound by love
Don't you know ma says if you're going to go fast, then you go it alone Don't worry ma, I'm out in the field and I'm taking it slow, together we'll go
Can there ever be equality No soldier, no refugee Can we walk together now in peace
For the weak For the strong For the old For the young We are bound, we are bound, bound by love
