about

The Stars and the Moon is Jim’s second single release of 2021

It’s haunting melody and reflective lyrics are accompanied by the passionate Spanish guitar performance of Jose Horcas and by the haunting bowed Double Bass of Rick Foot.

Recorded by Matt Salvage at Hightown studios in Southampton and mixed and mastered by Mike Vaughan, its lyrics and atmosphere express the sadness and remorse of a heart in turmoil and how the ‘narrator’ needs to ‘sit in my room, watching the Stars and the Moon’

The vocals, rhythm guitar and Spanish guitar were recorded live and the intimacy of the performance is captured beautifully within the subtle yet meaningful arrangement of the track.

lyrics

The Stars and the Moon

1, There's a shadow in my head
but in my heart there's nothing left
of what we had so long before
now I doubt the light and lock the doors
and I...

Chorus,
Sit in my room watching
The stars and the moon
and I...
sit in my room...watching
The Stars and the Moon

2,There's a storm now deep inside
that aches and breaks and burns and lies
We once raged with the night
But now I wait and count the tides
And I...

Chorus,
Sit in my room watching
The stars and the moon
and I...
sit in my room...watching
The Stars...

middle section

and the moon cold and quiet
like my heart, through a window
as the stars fall like tears made of glass

There's a shadow in my head
but in my heart there's nothing left

Chorus,
So I...
Sit in my room watching
The stars and the moon
and I...
sit in my room...watching
The Stars and the Moon
