Hello moon
yellow moon

so I sing this little tune
Goodnight
Goodnight

Keep a watch

as we all go to our beds
baby frogs and marmosets
Goodnight
Goodnight

How this is the only place I could find this song, I don't know.

But I could def. see Ed covering the song (starts at 16 seconds) with his uke.



It even kinda looks like a Pearl Jam music video.

I just made myself laugh out loud imagining Uilleann pipes turning up at the end of this song. :lol:

After further review, I have deduced that this is a song about the fucking moon.

I dunno, I feel as if you're forgetting about the death references.

This one sounds nothing like I was expecting/hoping for. Mikes leads are a bit over the top. I'm not hearing the pink Floyd that mike speaks of in his lead work on this album.

I think if will grow to enjoy this one but will take some time

Mikes been listening to a different Pink Floyd than everyone else. Pink Lloyd, the inspiration is undeniable.

FWIW, I can hear Floyd / Roger Waters in "Sirens" and "Yellow Moon".

I know Eddie elongating his vowels is supposed to be a bad thing, but I like how he stretches out his words in this song.

Agree, but here it's part of the melody and not an affectation.

between this and sirens, this is clearly more pink floyd influenced. there's something else to it i just cant put my finger on. im sure someone will figure it out. i think its really good song, should be huge live.

Instant classic! It's not clever. It's not original. But yeah it's so good.
