September 20, 2021. Neil before the Harvest Moon. It's been a busy month around here, so I was grateful that this moon is already so commemorated. There was ample art to reference and, in this case, cover for this installment of our song-a-moon album, To Owe To One. So as we approach the three-quarter mark of our journey around the sun, we present you with our version of the title track from Neil Young's 1992 album, Harvest Moon. Like the Star Spangled Banner, it's really hard to approach this song with the intent to put any kind of personal spin on it. But if Marvin and Whitney can do it, I owe it to myself to at least try. Still this song is inextricably bound to Neil, which is why for the artwork we put him physically on the Harvest Moon, which is apparently where Neils like to go. Anyway, I want to personally extend a special thanks to my friend, former officemate, and frequent sounding board for corporate-world-grievance, Marty Slapnik, for his contributions in the flugelhorn department. I hope you enjoy the Harvest Moon.
lyrics
Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say
Just like children sleepin'
We could dream this night away
But there's a full moon risin'
Let's go dancin' in the light
We know where the music's playin'
Let's go out and feel the night
Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon
When we were strangers
I watched you from afar
When we were lovers
I loved you with all my heart
But now it's gettin' late
And the moon is climbin' high
I want to celebrate
See it shinin' in your eye
Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon
Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon
