Liner Notes

I'm away from home for the rest of FAWM with limited time and no computer. I'd planned to use my new iPhone to record the rest of my songs, but, while I know how to record on a iPhone, turns out I don't know how to get the recording in the appropriate format for upload. 🤦 Made this recording on an iPad.

Lyrics

The Stars Will Sing in the Dark of the Moon ©️2025 - words and music by Sharon Stepler

The stars will sing in the dark of the moon when the sky is black and clear When diamonds of the night Scatter crystal light from yesteryear The stars will sing in the dark of the moon

The stars will sing in the dark of the moon for all who choose to hear A choir of galaxies Revealing mysteries to open ears The stars will sing in the dark of the moon

The stars will sing in the dark of the moon as they spiral ever near And reach through time and space To touch my face and dry my tears The stars will sing in the dark of the moon

The stars will sing in the dark of the moon

As an amateur astrophysicist, I really like this. There is something Medieval about the melody. It gives the song the feel of a folksong that has survived over centuries.

Very beautiful! Really like the idea of a choir of galaxies. Amazing quality from an iPad.

This is so heartfelt and lovely. Vincent would have loved it. Ping if you ever get it uploaded (or send me email the voice-sung mp3 and I'll see what I can do if you want)
