about

This song was inspired by an article about an artificial moon meant to help illuminate cities and features our signature sounds - vocal interplay, guitars, piano, and melodica.

lyrics

illuminate
illuminate
with a glowing orb

imitate
imitate
nature won’t suffice

man-made moon
brings all to light
but are we better
in the dark?

celestial
celestial
the sphere rises high

floating there
floating there
but no gravity

man-made moon
brings all to light
but are we better
in the dark?

supplement
supplement
brightness in the sky

light it up
light it up
maybe not so bright

man-made moon
brings all to light
but are we better
in the dark?

captivate
captivate
brilliant city streets

orbiting
orbiting
is it what it seems?

man-made moon
brings all to light
but are we better
in the dark?

man-made moon
brings all to light
but are we better
in the dark?
