When asked why they chose to participate in Over The Moon: The Broadway Lullaby Project,here is what Caesar Samayoa and Marcy Heisler had to say:

Caesar Samayoa:

“I’m honored to be a part of a project that brings awareness and hope for a cure to a disease that has affected my family very personally. The incredible talent featured here has filled the Broadway Lullaby Project with such light and love and I am humbled to be one of its participants. I am overjoyed that this music will bring nothing but honor to survivors, tribute to our loved ones lost and happiness and comfort to the millions who get lulled to sleep by one of these sweet sweet lullabies. Para mis familiares - nunca te olvidamos!”

Marcy Heisler

“I would like to dedicate “Over The Moon” to my cousin Kevin, who basically became my sibling when my Aunt Susan died of breast cancer at the age of forty. Kevin had to move to Chicago from Honolulu at the age of thirteen, and come live with me and my family. I remember so vividly him playing guitar to eight-year-old me at night, singing Beatles songs, but really…trying to make sense of it all. And when we grew up and Kevin had a child of his own, I knew what I wanted my gift to be. I could imagine him so clearly playing his guitar to his newborn daughter, trying to make sense of it all once more, but this time in the most beautiful of ways.

I know all too well how cancer changes families - but I also know how it is no match at all for the love and connection forged between those who deal with it on a personal level, and those whose love is simply too strong to do anything but join in the fight. I’m proud to be part of a project filled with so many of those people who give their time and talent to that fight, no matter what their art. My deepest thanks to everyone involved. Thanks also to Zina, who was a new mother herself when this song was written. The lyric is for Kevin, the music is for the beautiful Rachel, and the song is for everyone who takes the time to rock someone they love to sleep.”
