about

“Chasing the Moon” has a chill, laid back, 1970’s vibe with catchy hooks and vibrant lyrics that are thoughtful and poetic. It was written and produced by D.T. Huber.

Despite the madness of the world, people have dreams and dream of things bigger than they are. Dreams are our hopes and can lead to a greater purpose. This song's message is that it's never too late to find your purpose and there is hope in the fact that there is no limit to every human being's imagination. The hope also comes from our will, drive, and hard-work to fight through the challenges. "Chasing the Moon" is as much about executing the plan as it is about daring to dream.

This date of release for this song, July 14th, is significant for two reasons: it is the birthday of the great folk singer and dreamer Woody Guthrie, a major influence of D.T. Huber, and it’s two days before the anniversary of the launch of Apollo 11 in 1969 when the astronauts, scientists, and engineers at NASA were literally chasing the moon.

lyrics

Chasing the Moon - D.T. Huber

Walkin’ on a tightrope, the circus runs wild
I’m standing on the gallows a solitary child
fallen and mangled way back in June
might as well have been chasing the moon

The war is a diamond, we’re drenched in fear
it’s gonna be another really hard year
The rich men are floating like a child’s balloon
It all went down while you were chasing the moon

Don’t drink the water, it’s as thick as the air
A family unwound in a cloak of despair
Another child gunned down on a lazy afternoon
while we should have been chasing the moon

Postcards of destruction, a hundred years in the making
I feel ice cracking like I see hearts breaking
Eden is burning and there’s another typhoon
might have to go chasing the moon

I’ve let myself go, we’re at another dead end
My time here on earth I’d like to extend
We’ll no longer sing this woeful tune
If we’re strong enough to go chasing the moon
