"Woman on the Moon" is a lush, romantic homage to putting someone on an absolute pedestal. It blends atmospheric soundscapes with standard pop sensibilities to capture the awe of loving someone so extraordinary they feel entirely out of this world.

who is your woman on THE MOON
All this sunlight, it don’t do me any good, My eyes stay grounded waiting on you yeah, Waiting on you, Hold my breath, don’t count on gravity, Your holds too strong, you know it’s pulling me out there, Somewhere I’ve never been, never been
Babe, I know where to find ya, When walking the wire
Look up to my woman on the moon
Never been higher than when I’m around ya, Look up to my woman on the moon.
To keep up with ya fire, In and out of orbit, it’s out of my control
But I know I gotta hold a tighter grip so
I don’t slip out into the unknown, Where would I go?
Cause you’re far from typical, when you work your miracles
It’s all hypothetical, four-dimensional, When I’m yours.
Babe, I know where to find ya, (where to find ya)
When walking the wire
Look up to my woman on the moon (hey-ya)
Never been higher than when I’m around ya, Look up to my woman on the moon.
Oooh oooh oooh oooh, Look up to my woman on the moon
Look up to my woman on the moon
Babe, I know where to find ya, When walking the wire (walking the wire)
Look up to my woman on the moon
Never been higher than when
I’m around ya, Look up to my woman on the moon.

This song was written in Los Angeles on a writing trip last summer. I had previously worked with Sara Diamond on the French/English duet version of my single 'With You' back in 2018 and she also joined me breifly on tour in Canada that same year.
Also in the room that night was Boy Bennet and Alec, a production/writing duo that brought an incredible creative energy to the session. All 4 of us clicked with some special chemistry and within minutes we had the guitar riff and concept to the song Woman On The Moon
When I was writing this song, I kept imagining how empty my world would be without my wife, who is my rock and anchor. The chorus melody in particular cries out to overwhelming feeling of comfort that somone brings to you everyday.
All this lead me to imagining a post-apocalyptic world and the lengths I would go to get back to her, which I later brought to life in the official music video.
WOMAN ON THE MOON
For this music video I got the opportunity to both direct and write my own concept. I found this incredible landmark in Quebec, Canada called Sentier des cimes Laurentides and felt like it represented the build of the song, as I climbed up and up. We had a sci-fi motif in mind but the love story of getting home to my wife was the real story. This was an incredibly cold 2 days of shooting in the middle of a Canadian winter with temperatures as low as -32°C / -25.6°F to the point my eye lashes froze. I think it was worth it because I'm really happy with how this video turned out. By far my favourite!
