Hey guys,
I've literally just finished this song a couple of days ago.Weirdly for me I wrote it quite quickly and out of the blue while I was waiting for some lyrical inspiration on a different song.I do find it odd/weird how these songs seem to spring on us at the strangest times,I'm sure others can relate?
Anyway,I woke up the other night to a beautiful,but bloody bright moon that was shining directly through the smallest gap in our curtains right into my face! Anyway as beautiful and annoying as it was,it did give me the opening line "I'm so over the moon" so it wasn't all bad!
the song just kind of flowed from that.
I have concerns over whether the chorus lyrics work or not? I would like to think that the images are clear enough,but I'm not sure if I've traded emotional impact for play on words??
Melodically/vocally I challenged myself and took a left everywhere that I would normally go right...3 harmonies not two,I started the song higher than normal and of course I put on my hot pants and tried my hand at singing falsetto! Eek!
It's just me and a piano...(a robot one I'm afraid
) it's almost like its..."bare bones" or something??
Sigh...story of my life,too late to everything!!
All thoughts are welcome and thanks for listening.

I'm so over the moon
Her tides came crashing back too soon
Now my baby she's gone
Swept away on some wave of emotion
I didn't stand a chance
Cos he flys a plane
Has a house in the south of Spain
And loves to dance
Damn,life's a beach
Dashing my dreams on the rocks
And I'm falling apart
As they dance on my sandcastle heart.
I'm so over the moon
Cold and bright,a spotlight on the truth
Nothing matters,she's gone
I'm just a desert island
That she stayed on
I never read the signs
Cos he was a friend
I was played like a fool to the end
My love was blind.
