Feb 2022 indie-pop acoustic lo-fi
The Scary Jokes wrote a song called I Wanna Be The Moon. Here is a song from the other perspective that I wrote last night. Lyrics/music by Jordan.
I don't want to be the moon
I'm too conscious of my own appearance
And besides, I've got a fear of heights
So I don't think I could find the perseverance
Being made of cheese is not a life that interests me, so
I'll just stay on Earth and choose to live my life below
And I don't care what you think or what you say
I think I can make my own choices, anyway
And I don't care what you think or what you say
I don't want to be the moon
I don't want to be the moon
I don't like people looking up to me
I'm not a role model, not a model citizen
I'd prefer a nine-to-five, as it should be plain to see
Being made of cheese is not a life that interests me, so
I'll just stay on Earth and choose to live my life below
And I don't care what you think or what you say
I hope I can make my own choices, anyway
But I don't care what you think or what you say
I don't want to be the moon

I like it. Remnds me of a band called They Might Be Giants or early Talking Heads kinda stuff which is cool.

I'm not familiar with the song that inspired you, but I really enjoy your response to it! I love how the lyrics are simultaneously silly and serious–a really fun write, this one!
