a pale pink moon arising

Liner Notes

First collab with that great talented fool on a hill in Sweden! When I first listened to his instrumental track (https://write.fawm.org/songs/308543) I felt reggae-like vibes and I imagined a female choir and some vocals in the front ... so I asked @slusk if it would be ok to work with his music. He trustfully sent me his files and I started to work with them. The guitar solo was so heart melting to me because it brought back some good memories ... so I decided to point it out.

The lyrics aren't very deep. It's more or less a little mix from muse inspired words and the image of the pink moon rising. Nick Drake wrote one of my favorite songs about the pink moon ... may you listen.

Hope you like what I did!

#pinkmoon

Lyrics

make moonbeams sing a soft song stars strum sweet over dreaming meadows

reaching shades of painted dew reversing shadows

I see a pink moon arising! A pale pink moon rising!

reaching shades painted dew - reversing shadows ...

Dang, this is so much my sort of thing, and so beautiful. You had me from that first guitar note. And then you settle into that hypnotic groove and weave all those glorious sounds together. That is some sweet guitar for sure

Well now...it's like I just absorbed and audio elixir and now I'm totally relaxed and invigorated to just...chill. Beautifully strange this is. It's attractive on quite a few levels. Compulsory, almost. Very nice work, people.

Very cool, calm like watching the moon alone on a still night.

Nice, chill take on the music, and that music is excellent in its own right. Well done!

Nick Drake's "pink moon" album is one of my favorite albums, so I was very much drawn to this from the title alone. This is such a calming tune! I feel like I'm in a meadow as you describe it! Very beautiful!

A delicious Marshmello topping on a rich chocolate blues scoop.

Love the vinyl crackle. Really excellent guitar here. Yeah, "Pink Moon" is a fabulous song, right?!? The vocals really fit the music well. Lovely lyrics. So nice.

Fabulously expressive guitar! I like the relaxed pace of the music and, of course, the magical vocals. As always, you weave a beautiful vocal tapestry of layers of lead vocal and background vocals. Lovely tune.

So much better with the Mahtowin treatment ;)

This is beautiful! Soundscape is the right word for it, evocative of dreaming meadows and pastel moons. I love the guitar melody and the layered mm's and aah's in the vocals.

strange and beautiful..mahtowins poetry and voice rises and falls like a multiplicity of moons inside, around, and across slusk's guitar penetrating the soundscapes.

These dreamy vocals fit the music very well. Lovely trippy collaboration. Also a fan of Nick Drake. Good work!
