Minneapolis Stood and Prayed

After watching the events unfolding in Minneapolis and thinking about George Orwell’s 1984—and his warning about what happens when those in power begin asking people to distrust their own eyes and ears.

The song is less about politics than it is about truth and perception. What happens when we watch something happen, yet we're told what we witnessed isn't really what happened? When words are carefully changed, explanations replace observation, and we're encouraged to question our own common sense? Musically, the song carries that tension with an anthemic bro-country sound, a strong rock backbone, and touches of 1980s rock. It builds around a simple refusal: I know what I saw. I know what I heard. Don't tell me otherwise. And ultimately, the title says something important about the people caught in the middle of it all. Minneapolis stood—and prayed. 👁️🙏
