Cover art for White Moon lyrics by White Stripes, The

I actually think this song is about his relationship with Meg right before he met got together with his wife Karen. White moon (meaning Meg White).

I think your spot on man! If you hear really closely in the recording you can hear quiet sobbing...probably from Meg. Then supported by the Northern Lights version of it you can obviously see it has bearing on them both. I think, adding onto suzylee77's idea that its about how Jack was with Meg but then fell in love with Karen Elson so he was in two minds about both women.

"The one i adore is a ghost." "And i promised i wouldn't lead her on." "I'm giving all up i know to get more."...
