John Mark Nelson - The Moon and The Stars
Any chance you could make something based on John Mark Nelson’s “All You Are”? Specifically the lyrics “Waiting for tomorrow made you old so young Yesterday is over and today is done But if you sit beneath the moon you will hear her song In this tiny moment you have found where you belong”?
Maybe with something like a forest or night sky as a background to fit the vibe of the song? No problem if not, of course!
enjoy!
sweet songs for a strange world (part II)
(aka more of the soft songs that have helped me get through the past year, with little blurbs to describe their vibe)
Halcyon by The Paper Kites
Spotting a cloud shaped like something soft and reminiscent. Standing in a warm, summer rain. Steam swirling up from your favorite warm, yummy drink. The first hints of green on a tree after a long winter.
Boy by John Mark Nelson
The drawings you made with a stick in the mud as a child. The soft kiss of bark against your palm as you climb a tree. A ceiling fan gently cooling the sweat on your skin on a hot day. A flower doodled in the corner of a notebook.
Nobody Knows by The Lumineers
The dizzying, warm feeling of falling asleep in the car as a child and waking up in your bed. When someone’s hand fits perfectly in yours, fingertips kissing knuckles, lifeline kissing lifeline. Headlights painting shadows on your wall for the briefest of moments at some strange, lovely hour of the morning.
Love Like Ghosts by Lord Huron
A soft, foggy morning, when your favorite sweater feels especially warm. A stoplight gently blinking through colors late at night, directing traffic for an empty street. A sweet, handwritten note from someone you love.
Reminisce by John Mark Nelson
A messy, lopsided flower crown lovingly put together. The sweet, hiccupy laugh that only spills from your lips during the early hours of the morning. Looking at the moon and realizing its the same moon you gazed at as a child. Knowing it hasn’t changed, but you have.
All Shades of Blue by Gregory Alan Isakov
Streetlights flickering on during a cool summer evening. Morning sunlight creeping slowly up porch steps. The comforting weight of someone’s head on your shoulder. A wish that is never said aloud.
Meet Me in the Woods by Lord Huron
The sound of shoes slapping against pavement, and the breathless laughter that accompanies it. The warmth that licks against your skin when you stand next to a camp fire. Driving on a summer night with all the windows rolled down, the sweet evening breeze painting your cheeks pink and nestling gently in your hair.
The silver linings in the state of the world today have so quickly revealed themselves to be our communities and the art they create. John Mark Nelson rallied together with the voices of 165 people from around the world, including some local music favorites like jeremy messersmith, Dave Simonett, and Actual Wolf, to join him in singing this heartwarming tune about loving each other during the crisis. The video features charming animations from Sarah Nelson and the song was co-written by Dan Wilson.
