about

At a time when the world is divided, we need to be reminded of what we have in common and how we can achieve more by helping one another.

“If We Stand Together” represents Papa Muse’s danceable "Indie World" style, combining world music and rock molded into something new. The song is the first single from the upcoming Dare to Dance album. This uplifting song glues Reggae’s righteous vibe with a rowdy juxtaposition of Gypsy Punk, proving that even the most different extremes can find a way to create a harmonious union.

Papa Muse started working on this recording before the Covid 19 pandemic while we all watched our culture divide into 2 opposing camps. And since that time, the recording and its producer has evolved. Papa Muse mixed this song himself, getting some help from former bandmate Sean Kobuk (who produced Meaning Makers the 1st Papa Muse album.) The track was mastered by Matthew Saccuccimorano. So Papa Muse (Way) learned alot about mixing audio during the time we were all forced to stay home and since. This skill has allowed Way a new musical paint brush and outlet for his creative vision.

Please listen for the details and enjoy the depth of this recording. We hope it uplifts your spirit and sparks a community of altruism.
Headphones bring it alive!

lyrics

If we stand together, We can not be torn apart.
If we stand together, We are twice as strong.

Life can be a battle,
To know what's right and what's wrong.
There are those who try to oppress us,
Need to learn to stand tall.

If we help each other,
We can get twice as far.
If we help each other,
Life won’t be so hard

Take control of your mind,
Then you’ll see the stars align.
Take control of your mind,
Peace and love are what you’ll find.

Life can be a battle,
To know what's right and what's wrong.
There are those who try to oppress us,
Need to learn to stand tall.
