An organic throbbing bass line and steady punchy beats bounce and constantly interplay under the beautifully evocative guitar melodies yearning relentless dreams over the moonlight. Long drawn male vocalizations with a multi-tonal backing vocal, falling ominously forward into a twinkling stringed interlude of restless revelations interplaying with a synth melodies. Capturing the excitement behind the memories flashing like a spectre before the eyes, "Moonlight" is a gorgeous sonic metaphor for a broked heart. For those who are living lonely, sleepless nights where the moon is your only companion, searching for hope (A Hand) in the fragmented history of lost dreams, this is the melody for shake the skeleton through moonlight and throw away all these bad feelings. Using mixing and mastering techniques from the 80's, the track is a perfect candidate for New Wave Vibes.
lyrics
You can't stay here tonight
It's cold outside
And nothing's left to hide
Just four walls
There's no lights
You took out my soul
Kissed my face and said goodbye
Fixed to the bone
My dreams goes through
Moonlight in the darkside
There is no place to go
But if I don't find a place to be fine
I can't stay here in your home
Flowers will fall when winter come
And I will be on my own
So take my hand (So take my hand)
So take my hand (Don't throw it all away)
So take my hand (So take my hand)
So take my hand (I'm begging you to stay)
