Looking at the Moon - Alternate

from To Love a Wild Fire by The Ram

about

Last year, October 22, 2018, to be precise, I bought front row tickets at the Hollywood Bowl to see the Outlaw Music Festival, with Sturgill Simpson, the Nelson Family, Phil Lesh, and Margo Price. Micah Nelson’s set was the opener and it floored me. I’d never heard his music, and two songs stuck with me. Hell the entire set stuck with me.

A few days later after surfing, the phrase “One Solitary man…” came to me in the water, actually, I thought it started with “One Solitary Tree, looking at the moon” I jotted it down and thought nothing of it. Fast forward a few months, after listening to Particle Kid’s discography on a road trip on the east coast I came home and the song just came out. Amazing how influential the Nelson Musical family still is, and will be for another generation.

lyrics

= Verse
One solitary man
looking at the moon
looking at the moon

One beaten down dream
had the guts to stand
stand tall through it all

I saw her run
run into the night
run across the dawn

One single rose was thrown
it fell into my hand
it fell into my hand

= Chorus
I will ride across the midnight sky
I see you look up with your starlit eyes

= Verse
One solitary man
looking at the moon
looking at the moon

One look in those eyes
blew my mind
blew my mind

One heart rise above the rest
All the rest will fall
All the rest will fall

One look in those eyes
I decided to stay
I decided to stay

= Chorus
I will ride across the midnight sky
I see you look up with your starlit eyes

= INSTRUMENTAL

= Chorus
I will ride across the midnight sky
I see you look up with your starlit eyes

= Verse
One look in those eyes
blew my mind
blew my mind

One listen to her song
Filled my heart
it didn’t take long

One listen to her song
blew my mind
blew my mind

One solitary man
looking at the moon
looking at the moon

= Chorus
I will ride across the midnight sky
I see you look up with those beautiful starlit eyes
