Moon from Calling by Jemima Thewes
An ode to the Moon. I imagine her as the female protagonist watching our silly human ways upon her compadré Earth.
Moon, once revered and honoured by humankind now almost abused in mankind's efforts to conquer her and own her for themself.
The proceeds from the digital download of this song as a single will go to the domestic abuse charity Refuge.

Lyrics
MOON
Pale-faced lady hiding in the sky
When you turn your face earthward
Will you meet me eye to eye?
Blue faced warrior
Guardian on the night
When you push us and you pull us
Hear us howl the tide of our time
How many lovers have bathed in your light?
How many brawls have you lit?
And for whom?
How many feel lonely?
Until they meet you
Until they meet you
Mysterious temptress enchanted us in
We have come to you, we have flown to you
We have marked your ashen skin
Fly me to the moon and back again
Let me see the earth from that
Fly me to the moon and back again
Let me leave no trace of that.
Angels rush in
To see, to see what we did begin
Above, below, under and in
And blue blue ball it spins
See how it spins
The ball, the ball is in your court you silly things
And blue blue ball it spins
The ball the ball is in your court you silly things
And blue blue ball it spins, see how it spins
Blue Blue

Cloud-hopping tales are told by clear, honest vocals and adorned with playful instrumentation. Jemima and her band charm you along a cathartic journey of haunting songs built of intriguing lyrics and melodies that creep up and catch you unawares. The unusual combination of strings and a rare wooden box called a tongue drum adds to the inventive and enticing new sound they create.
