Scott Helmer’s To Them We’re All the Same: A Wake-Up Call for a World on the Brink of War
Recorded live and acoustic in Monument Valley, Scott Helmer’s new release confronts the fear, deception, and manipulation pushing the world toward another war — a reminder that our rights come from God, not from man
Independent singer-songwriter Scott Helmer delivers his most urgent statement yet with To Them We’re All the Same (Acoustic) — a stripped-down, one-take performance that calls out the forces dividing humanity and driving us toward conflict. Released as the world edges closer to another large-scale war, the song arrives as both a warning and a call to awareness.
The acoustic single and HD performance video for To Them We’re All the Same arrive October 24, 2025, exclusively at scotthelmer.com. Pre-order now.
Filmed against the stark red landscape of Monument Valley, the performance is raw and unfiltered — just one man, one guitar, and one message. Helmer doesn’t take sides; instead, he exposes the illusion of choice. Both political camps, he suggests, serve the same masters — unseen powers that profit when people are angry, afraid, and divided.
“They want us fighting each other over color, class, religion, and politics. But the truth is simple: we all bleed red. We’re all human, created equal by God, and we were never meant to be divided.”
The lyrics pull no punches.
“They take your life, and they take your love, and they take your gun, and they take your son, and ship ’em off to fight another war,” Helmer sings — an indictment of the military-industrial complex and the endless cycle of profit-driven wars waged by those who never bear the cost. It’s a timeless observation about the powerful few who start wars and the ordinary people who pay the price.
Later, his line “We get all the rights we need before we get our names” reframes freedom itself — not as something granted by governments, but as something given by God. It’s a direct challenge to the idea that liberty is a privilege instead of a birthright.
While To Them We’re All the Same takes aim at corruption and control, its tone remains grounded in peace and hope. Helmer isn’t preaching hate or rebellion; he’s calling for awareness, unity, and personal awakening.
“To them, we’re all the same — the workers, the dreamers, the believers. We’re the ones who build and fight while they hide behind power and profit. But we all bleed red, and we were meant to live free.”
The performance closes with a quiet challenge: “Now you know. Spread the word.” It’s both a whisper and a rallying cry — a call for people to think for themselves, look beyond the surface, and see how easily we’re turned against each other.
