'You are the moon' is a track I have played in a number of ways. This rocky version, with just a touch of the Andalusian inspiration that birthed its themes of love, loss and poetic majesty within the bounds of love etc was a nice one to commit to 'tape' .
I like to play it on the classical guitar at a much slower tempo and then it feels deeply inspired by Flamenco come Gypsy come romantic, tear jerking dross....but I tend to do that alone with tissues......:-) This version is more palatable to the rational mind! Enjoy
lyrics
You are the Moon
I miss the beauty of your eyes
Tempting whispers to mesmerize
ooh oo ah ee- you are the one
ooh oo ah ee- you are the one
My touch surrounds you
the lack of inhibition drowns you
and the poetry quenches need
and we resound in the frequency found,
in the center of all sound,
where all form is free, yet bound.
But what are words but symbols blazed
with no reference to the maze,
or the depths of true loves gaze.
You are the moon- ooh oh ah ee and the crescent,
the crescent in the sun
duh duh duh- dah da, de daeh da,
duh duh duh daah,daeh dah
daah dah dah deee dah du daah
So always do what you feel is right
and obey the equation of light
oh oo ah ee- you are the one
oh oo ah ee- you are the one
My touch surrounds you
the lack of inhibition drowns you
and the poetry quenches need
and we resound in the frequency found,
in the center of all sound,
where all form is free, yet bound.
But what are words but symbols blazed
with no reference to the maze,
or the depths of true loves gaze.
You are the moon!
ooh oh ah ee
and the crescent, the crescent, in the sun
duh duh duh- dah da, de daeh da,
duh duh duh daah,daeh dah
daah dah dah deee dah du daah
my love…
