Sometimes a love song comes along that just floors you.
Just makes you sit back and really think about what love is, about every second of laughter and tears and intimacy and heartache. You consider the distances love traverses, the bonds it creates, and the fact that to love and be loved is a gift. There are no rules and no expectations and that realm of endless possibilities is the most exhilarating and terrifying space a heart can occupy. Love endures, love fades, but more than that, love keeps us alive and exploring, and no matter the pain or happiness that comes of it, it is enough I think that we are able to taste this magical substance however fleetingly, and feel inside ourselves what I imagine is a ripple of starlight, the tides of infinity.
OK Miles, show us the music and get on with it you sap! Really though, 'The Moon Song' is awesome and beautiful and intimate and meaningful and has been on repeat in the quad with all of us sobbing softly into our homework about its unmatched sincerity and poignancy. Both versions, both Karen O and Ezra Koenig's duet version, or Scarlett Johansson's heartbreakingly simple and ethereal version are to die...no to live and love endlessly for. Enjoy, and may you find your own bright moon.
