about

The song ("Moon") was created based on the atmosphere of a place called Alnes. There is something magical and dreamy about it, daydreaming. It's about looking for something. Something about imagination, that such a place can trigger it. I was reading a book by William Carlos Williams when I wrote it, a book about imagination called Spring and All.

It is also about the moon, the sea, waves, things that are connected with that place. There is something about the reflection in the sea, "cast ones line and wait for miracles" – what emerges exists somewhere already. A place between daydreams and reality.

So we had to film in that place.

– Christian Winther

lyrics

Moon

Deeper in light Im dreamless
as the grey clouds among the stars
Melting wave after melting wave
Sliding down the white lights
Foam applauding my limited balance
but upon the melting glaze
I ask my Silver Spurs for the tides to rewind
To bring down from the skies
all merged deity of ancient driving eyes

Its an ocean Palace of Mirrors
Cast ones line and wait for miracles
A familiar chaos

In balance from the heat while
shadows build the back of the room
Thats when I can be with you
fingers running upon
Your favouring meets my mission
to pull the tides close to home
and to hear the wash fading
makes the Moon run along

To the foam
to the pier
to the fish hiding
near a surfers dream
To the calls of the gull
cast a vote

Cast ones line and wait for miracles
A familiar chaos
