Three years ago, I wrote this song on the mountaintop of Goris. Two years ago, I recorded the vocals in Yerevan. One year ago, we filmed in Syunik — home of some of the most magical places on earth. Today, I feel blessed to share it with the world. All done in Armenia.

Within weeks of shooting this video last September, we lost Artsakh and over 100,000 Armenian refugees were forced to leave their indigenous lands. The rest of Armenia, particularly Syunik province, continues to face existential threat. Out Here is my love letter to these lands.
