I like the Lightning Bolt version on this.EJ wrote:Mike wrote:

Hmmm...That's funny, I love how music can mean something different to everyone. I've always seen Yellow Moon as something completely different. I see a person who has come to the end of their rope but has made peace with it and decided to take their own life rather than have to continue to watch the world fall apart never knowing when the end will come. They decide to go out their own way on their own terms... "round, we go...where we stop yeah no one knows...so tonight, the moon I go." Meaning life just goes on and on and nothings getting better so tonight I'm going to end it myself and that's okay...I'm okay with it...Tuolumne wrote:Yellow Moon seems to be about having reached that place of peace and quiet and savoring it in all it's glory.
I never noticed that guitar part that Mike plays in the pre-chorus. Does he do that on the album? It sounded very different.EJ wrote:Thanks, man. Getaway does not sound very good here. Ed's struggling.
No, he doesn't. I noticed that too. I kinda like it. But, yeah, I also agree with sward - just not enough oomph in the guitars on this one.bluestate wrote:I never noticed that guitar part that Mike plays in the pre-chorus. Does he do that on the album?

Oh wow, that is interesting cause I don't see that at all. Music can be funny like that, huh?Walker Bait wrote:Hmmm...That's funny, I love how music can mean something different to everyone.

The talk of the echoing of the firing of the bullet...one life and one grave joining the parade....meaning his own life... I could be wrong, but again, that's what I love about music. We each make it our own.
How do you view the gun / death references?Tuolumne wrote:Oh wow, that is interesting cause I don't see that at all.

Yeah, I know... I totally picture a guy sitting on a hill in the middle of nowhere at night watching the moon rise....gun in hand and he's just content...at peace after coming to terms with his decision to "go" wanting to see the moon big and overhead one more time....and then "bang!".Tuolumne wrote:Oh wow, that is interesting cause I don't see that at all.

I might be wrong. But he does have a lyric about rehearsed insanity.
