15 Songs for the Super Blood Moon
In honor of tonight's super blood moon (three, three, three lunar events in one), a sampling of moon songs from my iTunes roster.
YEAR | SONG | ARTIST |
1962 | Moon River | Audrey Hepburn |
1970 | Moondance | Van Morrison |
1971 | Moonshadow | Cat Stevens |
1972 | Pink Moon | Nick Drake |
1973 | Grapefruit Moon | Tom Waits |
1988 | Hawkmoon 269 | U2 |
1989 | Full Moon Full of Love | k.d. lang |
1991 | Blue Moon Waltz | Jimmie Day Gilmore |
1992 | Man on the Moon | R.E.M. |
1993 | Crescent Moon | Cowboy Junkies |
1993 | Why Look at the Moon | The Waterboys |
1995 | Smog Moon | Matthew Sweet |
2000 | Goodnight Moon | Shivaree |
2002 | I Wish I Was the Moon | Neko Case |
2012 | Dead Moon | Calexico |
It's not a bad list but I thought there would be, I don't know, more songs, I guess. It is the moon, after all. It's the ultimate romantic heavenly body. In China, they even have a holiday for it.
The Shivaree song is really about wishing for the morning and fearing the night, but it's such a good song I had to include it.
