“Watch The Moon Alone” was the only original song on the 2009 Firecracker Museum album A Clean, Well-Lighted Place. Kevin Patrick wrote the music for the song and handed it over to me to write the lyrics. I thought the song had such an interesting juxtaposition of melancholy and bouncy, it reminded me of the moment at the end of a bad relationship when you’re both sad and hopeful.
This was the result of that collaboration.
