Rebellion Is A Lullaby (to the boy inside) [Official Video from "WONDER"]

Mueller's prog fusion release WONDER is "A masterpiece in the Epic Prog tradition.” - Eric Harabadian, Progressive Magazine

A prog rock anthem that celebrates the seeds of rebellion and freedom in us all: our innocence, our desire to realize who we can become, our inner child. But it also honors those on who's shoulders we were originally raised.

“'WONDER' balances raw power and haunting beauty in both its music and lyrics.” - Kathy Parson

There is irony to the story of a son who finds his inspiration to rebel in the very dignity his parents upheld, especially a child of the 60s. We must all forge our own sense of dignity, however, and many times that requires defiance and new definitions. Mueller's point is that rebellion need not be born of violence or envy, but of love and virtue-seeking. Many times that virtue is inspired by those who came before us.

The video features home movies from Mueller's youth, footage of the band performing through the years, close-ups of the Mueller's (father and son) singing in the studio, and photos from different eras of their lives. Additional clips of childhood scenes from across the world supplement the universal themes.

Music features: Anton Mueller (lead vocals, bass); Tobin Mueller (additional vocals, organ, synths); Darren Chapman (guitars); Rob Thurman (drums). Produced by Kenny Cash, Factory Underground Studio.

This video is dedicated to Tobin's father (Anton's grandfather) George P. Mueller. Tobin has posted an hour biography homage to him on YouTube: https://youtu.be/NB6Ioh4x1ts

Be the change. The change is me. The change is you.

Best listened to in headphones to experience bass notes, higher fidelity.

More reviews of the album WONDER:

“A symphonic whirlwind of prog passion! The album flows from idea to idea like birds winging from tree to tree. Led by the massive keyboards of Tobin Mueller, the dense harmonies of vocalist Anton, contributions from the likes of Scott Rockenfield (Queensrÿche), Bob Piper (Pleiades), Grammy-winner Michael Hedges, Japanese guitar legend Tadashi Togawa, Rob Thurman (Navigator), Darren Chapman (Out of the Blue), Aaron Paul, Steve Stone, Mystified, Shadow of Nine... ‘WONDER’ is a true combination of energy and poetry. I predict you will return to this album time and time again.” - Brian Gerhart, Progressive Ears

"Excellent Jazz Fusion Progressive Rock.” - Denis Longo, Progressive Era

Produced by Kenny Cash, Factory Underground Studio.
