He saw that between the lines that we were going to be able to give something else to show the sweet side of Elvis. I think we did a great job!”David continued: “The meaning of the song is very contemporary: ‘If I can dream of a better land/ Where all my brothers walk hand in hand‘.
It’s about uniting, it’s about peace, freedom and happiness, and it’s coming out at the right moment. We’re really proud of what we did, and to be part of this project.
