“Last Night I was dreaming about you my love, last night I was dreaming of you. In the morning you didn’t materialise, in the morning you didn’t come true” – Peter Doran , “Moon”
Come close, I’ve got a new song for you…

“What is it you want, Mary? What do you want? You want the moon? Just say the word and I’ll throw a lasso around it and pull it down. Hey. That’s a pretty good idea. I’ll give you the moon, Mary. ”
― George Bailey

Today I have a new song for you, it’s called “Moon” and will be on the new album “Outlines” (September 2014). Of all the new songs that I’ve been playing live in recent months, people seem to pick up on this one as a favourite. That line “I’ll bring you the moon” is almost certainly lifted from the movie “A wonderful life” which is one of my favourite films. I’m a sucker for all things sentimental! 🙂
We got a nice video recording of “Moon” from last year’s tour of the Netherlands. I’ve added that above so you can have a look and a listen, Below, you’ll find a couple of demo versions of the song to give you an idea about how these things develop. I hope you enjoy the song. Please share this post with your music-loving friends and family.
Feel encouraged to leave your thoughts and impressions in the comment box below.
Big Musical hugs to you!
~Peter
