about

Water From The Moon

G.S.: keyboard, electronic percussion, guitar, vocal. Recorded December 1986 (probably early in the month). Music written during recording (mostly improvised); lyrics written 12/30/84.

This was one of the earliest songs recorded for the album, done at the end of the first session. The instrumental tracks were improvised, with the original intention being to read the lyrics over the music. But I found that the key was constant enough for me to also improvise a vocal melody. This was later refined when the band Cold Sky did a version and I created a set arrangement for it. The original has a rawness all its own which I am fond of. "Water from the moon" is a southeast Asian expression meaning essentially "to ask for the impossible".
