Moonlight Music

Moonlight Music

Before couple of months I decided to prepare a gift selecting several songs about the Moon, moonlight or anything else related to the Moon. The rule was simple:

The title of the song should contain the word Moon in any language, alone or in any combination, as noun, adjective or verb – it doesn’t matter… (e.g. moonlight, luna, lunar, selene, moons, etc. are all acceptable). Of course the text of the song (if any) should also talk about it.

After digging my mind about half an hour I found more than 40 songs. Well I prepared the gift but this idea becomes a funny everyday exercise and the list is growing and growing…
