Liner Notes

This is for the #morph challenge, #morph4 . I got this beautiful demo from @wacha (https://write.fawm.org/songs/309024) and it inspired me a lot. I tried my best to keep it simple and not change too much, because that's what I like about the song - the simplicity. What I did do is transpose the song from major into minor - because I can't deal with major lol.

Lyrics

Chasing The Moon
Bpm: 65
Verse: Em C Am B
Chorus: C Am F#dim G

Verse:
At the feet of night
We are gold
The starbeams glance
As we dance
Somehow it never
Feels old
Held in a trance
As we dance

Chorus:
Chasing the moon
Without a care
Chasing the moon
Some would never dare
Chasing the moon
Since time began
Chasing the moon
Making no demands

Verse 2
Smiling mysteriously
No one knows
What we can see
White, cold in the
Damp of night
Radiant beams
Shine the light

Chorus:
Chasing the moon
Without a care
Chasing the moon
Some would never dare
Chasing the moon
Since time began
Chasing the moon
Making no demands

Haha, can't deal with the major...the flip to minor makes those verses quite wistful. This is lovely!

I used to feel like that about major chords. But learned to love them as well, haha. My trick was to use as many major 6ths or major 7ths as possible, so that they are not so much "in your face" major chords. (it that makes any sense). The groove was nice and the dissonances in the melody were great.

Went back and listened to all the other versions and realized you really did make some nice and cool changes! So crazy how different this song has become from the seed idea, huh? This was actually a fun challenge! Posted mine up a bit ago! Many Blessings!

Only humans would think of chasing the moon. All the other living critters take it in stride. It's that trance thing. This is trance-y for sure, so beautiful, like a full moon!

Nice job on this! You have a lovely voice! I haven’t listened to any of the previous versions so I have no idea how this started out, but this version is cool! I will see what I can do to destroy all your hard work! Hahaha! Hopefully, I can come up with something! We’ll see what happens! Blessings!
