This is such a beautiful mix of songs. I honestly loved each one but in a completely different way. Your descriptions are so airy and dreamy to read. I really really enjoyed this. Nice work, i look forward to seeing (and hearing) more from you :)

I love your blog, thanks! Clair de Lune’s not a song, though. It’s a piece or composition. A song is sung by a singer.

Zahir: Yes, of course I’ve heard the superpitcher remix, it’s the b-side to the single and I have a physical copy of it. It’s a great approach to the song, more akin to the Kompakt aesthetic.

An afterglow playlist is on the works at the moment ;)

cb: It’s a bit tricky to hear the first times, but when you know the lyrics it’s impossible not to recognize them afterwards. What I actually meant that I don’t really understand the meaning of the lyrics, not the words per se. I think the problem is that it’s a very short and simplistic song, so Drake doesn’t leave much context inside the lyrics to really decipher what does ‘pink moon’ really stands for. The most convincing interpretation that I’ve read so far is that the pink moon is a catholic sign of the apocalypse, I wouldn’t know because I’m not very familiar with catholic symbolism but the lyrics kind of fit in with the idea… and yet, I feel Drake’s delivery kind of contradicts this interpretation, not doomful but serene. If true, this has got to be the lushest song about the end of the world I’ve ever heard.

i had to search it up to understand what nick drake is singing

I saw it written and I saw it say
Pink moon is on its way
And none of you stand so tall
Pink moon gonna get you all
Its a pink moon
Its a pink, pink, pink, pink, pink moon.

either way if i understand it or not, great song
