A duet idea that has been floating around with me for about a year now. I have never written a duet before, so have attempted 2 this FAWM, this is the first to be posted. I think I have maybe caused poor old @stephentanner a hernia by prepping this whole track in this key, but he's done a splendid job smashing his vocal and helping me get this duet out in two voices! It's made such a difference to hear it with the two voices and we will most definitely work on it together in the future (in a lower, more Stephen appropriate key!)
Sun / Moon
I used to dream of floating in the clouds
Hide myself, barely peaking out
I tried, so hard, to brighten up your day
Smiling, so hard, at the sound of your name
I am the sun, chasing the moon
Keeping up, Gone too soon
Reaching out, calling you
Just like the sun, chases the moon
I used to sit, staring at the stars
Draw a map, that leads me to your heart
I cant, think of, a better way
To tell you, all the, things i have to say
I am the moon, chasing the sun
Never catching up, gone too long
Reaching out, one on one
Just like the moon, chases the sun
Our paths dont ever cross
Opposites everytime
But brief moments in time
I know youre always there
I can feel you everytime
Just like I
I am the sun, i am the moon,
chasing the moon
keeping up, keeping up
Gone too soon
I am the moon, I am the sun
Chasing the sun
Never catching up, never catching up
gone too long
reaching out, One on One
Just like the moon, just like the sun.....

I think the key is amazing. It takes @stephentanner’s voice up to that intimate, vulnerable place and it feels like soaring. Gosh, this is beautiful. What a great duet.

What a great little duet. This is really lovely to listen to. Cheers.

This is wonderfully crafted. I love listening to duets with two singers that work well together and I am so happy that the guitar rhythm and chords did well. Sweet lyrics. #tit4tat

#tit4tit. Hmmmm how did i miss this! 2 of my go to people together. Well if it was wrong key he hid it really well! Great duet guys! Well played!

Love the celestial imagery here! Orbits are an effective metaphor for love and longing. I can tell @stephentanner is pushing but it almost comes across like a Tom Petty vocal in places. That said, it'll be cool to hear it in a new key, but this is a great start!

I'm a huge fan of your voice! Just gorgeous. I think this works really great as a duet, especially with the different tones and vibes the other person's voice brought. But it could also work with just your voice. I could definitely listen to a whole album from you. I love the lyrics, great concept to have this metaphor where obviously one will never catch the other, adds a melancholy/yearning vibe. Pretty awesome.

Really lovely personification. Great lyrics. So great that you guys have done this! Will be really interesting to hear this in a lower key or Stephen singing his part in a lower register.

Bit of a treat hearing two great singers together! Nice metaphor to build a song out of too :)
