The video opens revealing footage filmed on location at Sun during the recording session of the Sun Kissed! The Sun Studios Sessions album. The song "Blue Moon" was chosen by April Mae, as an homage to Elvis Presley and his Blue Moon Boys, Scotty Moore and Bill Black. "Blue Moon is my favorite song that Elvis recorded at Sun. Intimate and ethereal, with a deep sense of longing and sweet hopefulness." Engineer Matt Ross-Spang surprised Mae with a very unique vintage microphone for her to sing into for this recording. Indeed it was the same exact model that Sam Phillips had Elvis use to record "Blue Moon." Looking like a cross between a sleek tapered pencil mic that opens into a disc flower at the top, the microphone gets a cameo, as does the X on the floor of the studio that marks the spot where Elvis stood while recording. "Those little details are part of the magic of recording in such a sacred musical space, I wanted to share those nuances with people who have never been there, and for that fun moment of recognition from folks who have!"

The Blue Moon Boys were an American rock and roll band that was formed by Elvis Presley, lead guitarist Scotty Moore and double bass player Bill Black. The group members were introduced by Sun Studio owner Sam Phillips in 1954, except for drummer D.J. Fontana, who joined the group during a Louisiana Hayride tour in 1955. The Blue Moon Boys were inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in 2007. The band was named after Bill Monroe's song "Blue Moon of Kentucky".
