Oil and gas workers often operate on a rotational schedule known as "hitches," typically involving two weeks on the job followed by two weeks off. These shifts can be grueling and isolating, taking workers away from their families for extended periods of time—sometimes in remote locations with limited communication.
While this schedule allows for long stretches of time at home, the time apart can be emotionally challenging, especially for spouses and children who miss the everyday connection of family life.
The song "Under The Same Moon" beautifully captures the emotional side of this lifestyle. It tells the story of a husband and wife separated by distance but united by love and the shared presence of the moon.
Each night, they look up and speak to the moon, trusting that its light and energy will carry their thoughts, prayers, and love to one another. The moon becomes their silent messenger, a symbol of connection, protection, and enduring love that transcends the physical miles.
In a world where families must adapt to the demands of the energy industry, "Under The Same Moon" offers comfort, reminding them that love finds a way to travel—through light, through time, and through the heart.
Under The Same Moon
written and produced by Jason Spiess
Out here under stars so wide,
I hold the moon like you're by my side,
Boots in the dirt hands rough and worn
I work each night for the love we've sworn
The miles are long but my heart won't stray
I'm counting the hours till i'm home to stay
The kids are ‘sleep, House full of hush
You pillows cold, but I still blush
I sit by the window, breathing the light.
Talking to the moon on a velvet night.
Under the same moon, I drift to you
I feel your love in everything I do
You're the reason I carry on
Even when the nights feel long
Though we’re apart, this love is true
We’re never alone… under the same moon
I miss your laugh and baby’s cries
The way you hold hope in your eyes
But this hard road’s the one I choose
To build a dream we’ll never lose
I light a candle and close my eyes
Feel your heartbeat across the skies
We’re stitchin’ this life one thread at a time
With faith and grace in every line
Sometimes I break but I believe
And every prayer we both conceive
Keeps the light that pulls us through
Guided by that glowing view
Under the same moon, across the stars
We carry love, no matter how far
You bring the strength, I bring the flame
Together we rise in love’s true name
Though we’re apart, we make it through
Always connected… under the same moon
I’ll tell the kids you’re comin’ soon…
We’re waitin’ here beneath that moon…
Always in love… under the same moon
