Moon & the Sky

About Moon & the Sky

Moon & the Sky is a song by synthpop duo Erasure. Originally intended as the second single from their ninth studio album Loveboat, the album cut was remixed drastically for radio play by Jason Creasey and packaged with enough additional tracks and mixes that it could be considered an EP. Mute Records released the single in the UK under the title Moon & the Sky Plus, a similar tactic used for one of Erasure's previous singles ("Rain"). The song was written by Vince Clarke and Andy Bell and is an uptempo, electronic dance track. In its album version the song has a harsher, more techno-influenced feel. Maverick Records, Erasure's U. S. record label at the time, requested the single remixes but ended up passing on the Loveboat album altogether and releasing Erasure from their contract, leaving Mute records to release the U. S. version of Loveboat in 2003. The extended track count and running time of Moon & the Sky Plus made it ineligible for the UK singles chart at the time. A 12 inch single, presented as a double A-side with a remix of Loveboat track Perchance To Dream was also released. Similar to the promo version (P12MUTE248) distributed to nightclub DJs to promote the album, the two-track record was credited to "V & A" (referring to the members of Erasure, Vince Clark and Andy Bell, rather than naming them outright). The 12" was only available from the Mute Records' own shop (Mute Bank) and specialist dance music shops. more »

All of a sudden it's gone
Too late to wish a friend farewell
Heard the sea in a shell
Said we would meet in other worlds
See how the moon, she cries
Cool how the tears fill up the sky as snow
Gotta touch the sky
Hold you head in my hand
A taste, a wish, a parting sigh
Takes the boat across the water
Heaves a gentle sigh
See how the moon, she cries
Cool how the tears fill up the sky as snow
Gotta touch the sky
All of a sudden it's gone
Too late to wish a friend farewell
Heard the sea in a shell
Said we would meet in other worlds
See how the moon, she cries
Cool how the tears fill up the sky as snow
Gotta touch the sky
Gotta touch the sky
Gotta touch the sky
