Post a Song About The Moon/That References The Moon

[Loren]

I wish I could figure out how to post things from the internet here. One of my favorite songs about the moon is actually where Ernie sings on Sesame Street about how he'd like to visit the moon, but not live there because he'd get homesick. It's such a sweet, sad-sounding song.

I'd be happy to teach you how to post, if you'd like! Once you do it a couple times, it becomes second-nature.

 

[GrownupGirl]

Oh, and I also like the classical song Claire de Lune. It is also sweet and sad-sounding.

This version from 2017 Total Eclipse was epic:

 

[Iamnotarabot]

This is one of my favorite band, I hope no one posted it already, I love this band and your topic will make me listen to them tonight !

Found this oldie from when I was a baby:

This song reminds me of the moon since it mentions an eclipse.

 

[Monachopia]

Two songs come to mind...

"The moon tells me a secret, my confidant.
'As full and bright as I am, this light is not my own,
A million light reflections pass over me
It's source is bright and endless,
She resuscitates the hopeless,
Without her we are lifeless satellites .. drifting.'"

and ...

I know I'm way late to the party, but music is always a goid conversation topic -as long as it doesn't deteriorate into "my genre is better" type stuff, and moon songs are always cool. (As are "rain' or other often talked about topics I'm too tired to think of. But it's a common thing on my radio, or within certain songs themselves to discuss "how many songs involving this word, or that topic are there"

Conway Twitty's "I Don't Know A Thing About Love", And Reba McEnture's "Am I the Only One who Cares?!"

This song is called "Jupiter", but it references the moon as well:

 

[Aeolienne]

Tasmin Archer, Sleeping Satellite

"Did we fly to the moon too soon?"

 

[Aeolienne]

Antonín Dvořák, 'Song to the Moon' from Rusalka, performed here by Angela Gheorghiu

 

[Aeolienne]

Laura Mvula, Sing to the Moon

 

[Aeolienne]

Mike Oldfield feat. Maggie Reilly, Moonlight Shadow

The RAH Band, Clouds Across the Moon

Wouldn't be out of place in the "Forgotten 80s music" thread...

 

[Aeolienne]

Paul Simon (and Ladysmith Black Mambazo), Homeless

"Homeless, homeless, moonlight sleeping on a midnight lake..."
