Original 2025 Monument Valley Performance Explores the Human Cost of War and Shared Humanity
TEMPE, Ariz., July 26, 2026 — As global tensions continue to rise, Arizona singer-songwriter and touring musician Scott Helmer is revisiting "To Them We're All the Same (Acoustic)," a live acoustic performance originally released on October 24, 2025, whose message of shared humanity has taken on renewed relevance.
Recorded live in Monument Valley, Utah, the solo acoustic performance features only voice and guitar, allowing the song's lyrics and message to take center stage against one of America's most iconic landscapes.
Written before today's escalating international tensions, "To Them We're All the Same" reflects on the human cost of war, political division, and the idea that ordinary people often have far more in common than those in positions of power would have them believe. Rather than aligning with any political party or ideology, the song encourages listeners to think independently, question assumptions, and recognize our shared humanity beyond borders, politics, and conflict.
Originally released on October 24, 2025, "To Them We're All the Same (Acoustic)" can be viewed on YouTube at @thescotthelmer or on Scott Helmer's website, where fans can purchase the official recording and video directly.
