about

Into The Moon is about being present and in the moment.

I wrote the song at a time when I struggled to intentionally take periods of rest during one of the most challenging times I'd ever faced. Even when I did, I found my mind just couldn’t stop thinking about the next thing I ‘had to do’. I'd made achievements and work my idol.

The image that really encapsulates this feeling is what the single cover artwork turned out to be. It's just me sitting with my wife with no agenda. Just slowing down, being with her and focusing on the moment.

Allowing myself to be.

lyrics

Endless night
Broke by sunlight
I wish I could have seen it

Beauty comes
Then it goes again
Oh I wish I wasn't dreaming

Oh I'm sinking under
Oh I'm struck by wonder
You're calming my oceans with all of your notions it's fair to say safe to stay

And wait as we gaze
Into the moon

Holding time
Has never been my strength
It's been my weakness

To get out of my own head
And, lay the feelings to rest
Oh I wish it was that simple

Oh I'm sinking under
Oh I was led to plunder
I'm caught in fighting myself and denying it's hard to find the silver lining

I'll wait as we gaze
Into the moon
