The Whole Of The Moon (The Waterboys) | Acoustic Cover By The Distance

Описание: Download: https://distancemusic.bandcamp.com/tr...
Hey everybody! Our new acoustic covers album 'Escape' released yesterday on Bandcamp and we're soooo excited to share with you this acoustic cover of The Whole Of The Moon by The Waterboys... It's track #6 on the album and it's a song we've wanted to cover for about a decade...

As far as lyrical content goes, this song might be the greatest example you can find. Every time we listen to it we're just floored by the confidence and brevity Mike Scott employs, and yet how clearly the sentiment and imagery comes across to the listener. It not only perfectly conveys a feeling of inadequacy and struggle, but also manages to weave in a sense of location, time period and even costume... it makes us mad with jealousy to hear it, which is an irony we hope would not be lost on Mr Scott. 🤣

We spent a lot of time trying to think how to incorporate that incredible horn solo in the middle of the song: the overlapping parts are a thing of beauty and part of the reason it's taken us so long to get to this song is, we were never quite sure how we were going to get around it. Cutting it out just wasn't an option, since it's one of the most glorious parts of the arrangement, so we decided to go as low-tech as we know how: Breaking out the 'Ba Ba Baaaas' for another round of vocal trumpeting (not a euphemism)!

We'll be shoving out more tracks from the album over the next few weeks, so hit the subscribe button if you'd like to be notified when we upload a new one... and if you'd like to support us you can download the full album for an embarrassingly small amount at https://distancemusic.bandcamp.com/al...

Thanks a million for watching - we really can't tell you how much it means to us. At the time of writing we're just 10 subscribers away from passing 3000 (which we assume is the point at which YouTube sends us hot tub full of champagne and a choice of private island), and it's quite mind blowing to think that so many people have considered this stuff worth clicking on. Having said that - only 9% of our views come from people who have subscribed, so if you have any ideas about how we can alter that - without Mat having to get his boobs out - feel free to drop a comment :)

Happy 2022: flying cars any minute now.

Mat & Soph
