about

I didn't necessarily intend this to be the "title track", but Songs For The Moon just sounds like an album title, doesn't it? I wrote this during a rather low point in my career where I thought that the only person, place, or thing listening to my music was the moon. Sad, isn't it? An uptempo ¾ time signature gives this a rather lilting bit of weightlessness that counters the heavy lyrics. It's sort of everything I think is wrong all wrapped up in a neat package. It's really a therapeutic song. Just sing along with it or play along (it's in D) and you'll feel good. I know I do whenever I play it.

lyrics

It's a mirror in the sky flying here up high
Staring back down at me
The words that I sing fall backwards and ring
Of a life I tried yesterday to be
The birds in the trees on the wings of a breeze
Flying for miles above lacking smiles
But the stars in the night
Have achieved a new height
As I sit and sing songs for the moon

Clouds reappear and while the movements are clear
The intentions are yet to be known
The snow falling down on the once green ground
The deceptions of earth have been shown
The birds in the sky seem to go flying by
Crying their tears, it falls on deaf ears
But the stars in the night
Have achieved a new height
As I sit and sing songs for the moon
