Addressing the deeper meanings behind the song, Sons of Levin share their perspective: “In short, the message is this: The issues we face as a united humanity are real, but we must remember, we have faced these threats before, albeit in different forms. Freedom, justice, and even the soul, are under attack.” Not letting the negative nuances of civilization get in the way, they continue, “Our history as human beings has shown that we will overcome any and all obstacles if we stick together and love one another.” Sons of Levin found a remedy that brings humans together: Music, emphasizing, “Music can be a vehicle for this unity. Admittedly, music cannot solve any of these problems on its own. However, it can be a form of expression to propel ourselves towards harmony and a delight in another’s gifts.”
“Music can be a vehicle for this unity. Admittedly, music cannot solve any of these problems on its own. However, it can be a form of expression to propel ourselves towards harmony and a delight in another’s gifts.” Making it a goal to resonate with audiences, they conclude, “Hopefully you can delight in and enjoy this song.” The single was mixed and mastered by Jan Schwartz, with engineering by Colin Fleming.
