BeagleTribe2 - The Monday Morning Memo

“If you want to write a song about the moon, walk along the craters of the afternoon when the shadows are deep and the light is alien and gravity leaps like a knife off the pavement. If you want to write a song about the heart, think about the moon before you start, because the heart will howl like a dog in the moonlight, and the heart can explode like a pistol on a June night. So if you want to write a song about the heart and its ever-longing for a counterpart, write a song about the moon.

Hey, songwriter, if you want to write a song about a face, think about a photograph that you really can’t remember… but can’t erase. Wash your hands in dreams and lightning. Cut off your hair, and whatever is frightening, if you want to write a song about a face. If you want to write a song about the human race, write a song about the moon. If you want to write a song about the moon… if you want to write a spiritual tune… Then do it… Write a song about the moon.”

- Paul Simon, Song About the Moon
