Layered, lyrical and laced with moonlight, 'Man In The Moon' is a haunting Celtic/New Age folk ballad where myth meets madness and obsession dances under the lunar sky.
✨ Think Kate Bush meets Caitlin Grey, with echoes of ethereal folk, Spanish guitar flourishes, and a touch of the uncanny.
🖤 Inspired by literary and artistic portrayals of women throughout history — from Shakespeare's Ophelia to Victorian melancholia — this song explores the archetype of the ‘madwoman’, entangled in obsession, illusion, and lunar mystery.
🌘 Does the man in the moon exist at all? Or is he just a reflection of our own longing?
🎥 The video blends imagery of madness, feminine power, and lunar symbolism — a visual meditation on obsession, sorrow, and seduction.
🎧 Featuring a haunting Celtic intro, layered harmonies, a Latin-tinged middle eight, and Neil Harvey’s spellbinding Spanish guitar.

Lyrics: Man In The Moon
I’m waiting…..
V.1
Don’t be afraid said the man in the moon
Leave all your troubles behind you and soon
You will find out that I mean what I say
Maybe your heart will be broken again
Refrain
And I wait, I wait and I wait
And I wait, I wait, yes, I wait
V.2
Don’t be afraid of the man in the moon
Wait until dark and he’ll come to you soon
But what will you do if he tears you apart?
What will you do with your own broken heart?
Refrain
And I wait, I wait and I wait
And I wait, I wait, yes, I wait
Bridge
So tell me what am I waiting for?
You know that I can’t take any more
And do you know if I’ll see him soon,
The man in the moon?
Spanish Acoustic Guitar Solo.
Repeat bridge
V.3
Don’t be afraid said the man in the moon
Leave all your cares behind you and soon
You will find out where your destiny lies
You will remember to open your eyes
Refrain
And I wait, I wait and I wait
And I wait, I wait, yes, I wait
Repeat…
I’m waiting….
