The Problem is part of a trio of songs I wrote during the pandemic about social injustice. It was written as if I'm talking directly to the people in the world who are the problem; those who lack humanity, human decency and who ignore the golden rule. I like to think that anyone who is offended by this song in any way may want to really take a look in the mirror and ask if they are, in fact, the problem. Otherwise anyone listening to the lyrics should agree with what I'm trying to say, Period.

Sometimes you need space to get back to yourself and the ones you love. Sometimes you need to go to the back of the moon to find the meaning and importance of the things that are normally right in front of you.

I took some extra inspiration for the metaphor from a story I read about Astronauts on 1969’s Apollo 10 mission that heard strange “music” while passing over the far side of the moon, where communication with Earth is cut off.
