The Moonlandingz share Iggy Pop collaboration, "It’s Where I’m From"

"It’s Where I’m From" was written 15 years ago by Adrian Flanagan after breaking both his arms in a bike accident. He was told by doctors he wouldn’t have full use of his arms again but in a defiant haze of Morphine he’d go to his home studio and attempt to write songs using one finger and a thumb on a mellotron, a midi keyboard and drum machine.

"During the final days of The Moonlandingz album recording sessions I rediscovered the CD with pretty much an album full of these beautiful songs on them, so I brought the rough demo to The Moonlandingz session," Flanagan explains. "I got my friend Oliver Harrap to put some live drums over it, Alex White put some beautiful additional sax and flute on it and I put a new guide vocal on it with the intention of getting someone else to sing it before I completely re-recorded my original demo parts with my co producer Dean Honer."

"My absolute first choice to sing my song was Iggy Pop. No sweaty young upstart could sing this song and make you believe it. It had to be sung by someone who’d lived a thousand lives, who understood about mortality, loss - whose very throat exudes wisdom," he continues. "As if by some kind of psychic magic Iggy said yes! Proof that something flung at the back of the cupboard all those years ago, made during great personal struggle and pain, can still have an extraordinary life in the future and enter the cannon of modern day pop ballads/standards of tomorrow!"

The accompanying music video sees the band collaborate with Jeanie Crystal again for another brilliant video, she adds: "This is the finale of a three piece sequence (for The Moonlandingz) about male vulnerability, sexuality, insecurities and ego and the absurd complexities of trying to understand the label of man."
