In Their Words: “‘Shooting at the Moon’ is a fun little ripper of a song about the trials and tribulations of touring as a mid-level Canadian musician and battling with the inevitable ego of being somebody who works on stage. Snapshots of life on the road, long-distance romance and the ever-enduring underdog spirit that drives this tune, keeping feet on the ground and eyes on the prize. The video (shot and directed by Sebastian Buzzalino/Unfolding Creative Photography and edited by Mike Linton/Centric Productions) tries to capture that feeling – the fervor and excitement of the road alongside the almost mundane repetition of set-up, tear down, driving and more driving. Aiming to showcase the off-stage, less glamourized part of the touring band.” — Mariel Buckley
