Thanksgiving Moon Lyrics

raise your arms for victory
drink to love, drink to me
we’ll start over
we’ll start new this time
with all stars and shadow
and we’re all stars, I know, I know
around a thanks-giving moon
a misty light imprecise and still from a jagged bright sickle moon
the big man stared him down in the middle afternoon
hid the blood and the metal
with his hands
with his hands, with his hands...
oh, is that a star?
oh, shallow victory...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I can't believe there aren't any comments on this one. It's his most popular song.

I saw him perform this solo once. I don't think he's the first to pull off the loop pedaling one-man-band thing, but he sure does it well.
