Promised Land (Crash Test Dummies song)
"Promised Land" is a collaboration between producer/composer/singer/guitarist Marc Mysterio, rock band Crash Test Dummies and Mark Crozer meant to honor and benefit the International_Federation_of_Red_Cross_and_Red_Crescent_Societies whose resources, doctors, nurses and lawyers were severely stressed -- to near breaking point -- by the influx of refugees descending upon Europe in 2015.[1] Mysterio and Crash Test Dummies previously collaborated in March 2015, when Mysterio released a remix of the band's 1993 hit Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm.[2]
