“Man That Hung The Moon” Available Everywhere Today;
Fourth Release from Forthcoming Fifth Studio Album
Just in time for Father’s Day, Brantley Gilbert’s “Man That Hung The Moon” showcases the feelings of fathers around the world.
The singer rugged, tattooed country singer shows off a softer sentimental side. His son, Barrett, was born in 2017 and the idea for this deeply personal song to his children was inspired shortly after Barrett’s birth.
“I lost my breath when I/saw you take your first/my whole world stopped like that/and I ain’t the cryin’ type” he sings to an acoustic melody.
Brantley Gilbert sings of tender moments in which his kids see him as the hero, invincible, and the doer of no wrong – the man that hung the moon.
However, the song takes a turn and addresses when the time comes when his children realize he is simply human.
“I’ve lost my cape/I can’t fly/and I’m only human/And you’ll need more than me/but you’ll know to hit your knees/if I’ve done my job right/you’ll know where to find/the Man who really hung the moon.”
Gilbert and his wife are expecting a baby girl to join their growing family.
“Man That Hung the Moon” follows the first single off Brantley Gilbert’s next album, “What Happens in a Small Town,” a duet with Lindsay Ell.
The new track follows “Not Like Us,” released in April in partnership with NASCAR. This fall Gilbert sets sail for his Second Annual Kick It In The Ship cruise. He will be joined by Chase Rice, Tyler Farr, Colt Ford, Brian Davis, Sixforty1, Tyler Booth and more as they rock the high-seas from Miami to Cozumel Nov. 4-8, 2019.
