Friday's Grief Song, 10.18.24

"But there's a full moon risin' Let's go dancin' in the light"

In honor of last night’s full moon/supermoon/hunter’s moon, this season of pumpkins, apple galettes, harvest, thinning veils, crisp cold mornings, the first fires… and the oncoming dark.

This week’s song is about the most simple straight forward love song I can think of.

It’s Neil Young’s Harvest Moon off his 1992 album of the same name.

Enjoy!

Harvest Moon
Written by: Neil Young
Album: Harvest Moon
1992

Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say
Just like children sleepin'
We could dream this night away

But there's a full moon risin'
Let's go dancin' in the light
We know where the music's playin'
Let's go out and feel the night

Because I'm still in love with you
I wanna see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon

When we were strangers
I watched you from afar
When we were lovers
I loved you with all my heart

But now it's gettin' late
And the moon is climbin' high
I want to celebrate
See it shinin' in your eye

Because I'm still in love with you
I wanna see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon

Because I'm still in love with you
I wanna see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon
