about

Ain't nothin wrong with a little hope. Written and recorded for the Summer 2019 Music From the Moon Songwriting Contest, "Where We Stood" reflects on the 50th Anniversary of the Appollo 11 moon landings, taking them in as testimony to human capacity in cooperation Hey, if we can put a man on the moon, maybe we can heal our own planet.

I recorded this one with Hannah Prizznick in the living room of Dawn's historic southside home. If you listen closely, you can hear boards creaking.

Filmed on location at the Nasa Rover test sites on Cinder Lake near Flagstaff, AZ, and featuring historical photography, The accompanying video for "Where We Stood" can be found on my website:

lyrics

We're not afraid of failure, we're afraid if we try
success kisses excuse goodbye
the only ones standing in our way
is you and I

Every eye in humankind has looked to the sky
wishin we could walk upon the light in the night
the ones standing in our way
is you and I

This world get's hard
Yes it's true
We've come so far
We can pull through

We can show you
Where we stood on the moon

Everyday comin there's something new
Fallin sky will meet the rising ocean's blue
The only one's standing in our way
is me and you

Now we're working for today
Praying for tomorrow
We'll get out of our way
back out into space
Where the sun never sets
where the sun never ever sets

This world gets hard
Yes its true
We've come so far
We can pull through
We can show you
Where we stood on the moon
