“Heart of Stone” from SIX The Musical
Written by Toby Marlow & Lucy Moss
I was born in Wiesbaden, Germany, to an American, military family. My parents instilled a sense of honor and patriotism for our country throughout my childhood. Move after move, the U.S. flag was flown from every front door; we collected license plates from every state in which we lived; and my mom’s kitchen was (and still is) decked out in red, white, and blue.
I took immense pride in being a military brat, the son of a successful, Black Army Colonel. (Tearing up as I write this because I am so proud of my dad and the sacrifices he made in his 27 years of service to his country.) I want to lift up my mom, grandfather, aunts, uncles, and cousin who also served.
In recent years, I have developed a complicated relationship with my country. I understood my ENTIRE life that being Black would present a multitude of challenges, and I have only grown to increasingly recognize the insidious and pervasive ways racism has gripped our society. This makes patriotism difficult.
I live in a country that praises Black people out of convenience or self-service (this country loves its Black entertainers and athletes), yet Black people are overall undervalued, under-protected. We are viewed as lazy, uneducated, suspicious, guilty, and scary with no context other than our brown skin. We often have to work harder to achieve equal success to that of our White counterparts, and we have to present in an accommodating way as our actions are often the sole representation of all Black people in any particular White setting.
I have pulled this song from SIX: The Musical fully out of context, but in light of my current reality, the first verse and chorus illustrate the dichotomy of wanting to cling to a promise (the Constitution), but recognizing the promise may not be fulfilled. Typically, I’d share a happier song to mAkE uS fEeL bEtTeR iN tHeSe sOrRoWfuL tiMEs (maybe later), but I think it’s time to level with these feelings, and actually challenge ourselves to be moved by them.
Being a patriot includes defending “liberty and justice for all.” When America deviates from her promise, I question her ways and examine her faults, not in an act of defiance, but in a quest for a “more perfect union." ✊🏾🇺🇸

In 2015, I had the privilege of seeing the first staged production of Dear Evan Hansen at Arena Stage in Washington, DC.

I don’t know about you, but music from the early 2000s brought me some of my absolute favorite jams. Vanessa Carlton’s piano-driven hit, “A Thousand Miles,” and Yellowcard’s platinum song, “Ocean Avenue,” are no exceptions. These songs are two of the most memorable from that era of pop music, and once the idea to mash them together came to mind, I could not resist making it happen. I hope you l...
