The Moon Lyrics

Cover art for The Moon lyrics by Cat Power

One of my favorite Cat Power songs. Many people find it to be morbid and depressing. I don't, personally. I think the "moon" represents that which is divine or sacred to someone. And how that, even though we're all eventually going to die and lose everything, that which is sacred/divine to someone always perseveres and is beyond the cycles of birth and death. Kind of like a connection between the cycles of the moon and the cycles of life and death. That's my 2 cents, anyway. Beautiful Song.
