about

I met this Spanish girl in Seattle back in 2018. I fell madly in love with her and wrote her poetry, songs, and even a novel. One night we were out and about—somewhere in Kirkland, Washington—and I held her close beneath a patch of bright stars. The sky above was dark, even black, and the air was cool and crisp. I held her there beneath a large, white moon and promised her a thousand things. It seemed like I spent an eternity there with her. In any case, after she left me for somebody else, and I moved to Los Angeles, I wrote this song for her to commemorate the moment. My love for her—though brief—was magical. And I believe one should never give up on—nor forget—magic. I’m romantic like that. Hence the song. It’s a celebration of romantic love.

Black Sky, White Moon is taken from Moses Mikheyev’s debut album I ONLY HAVE A HUNDRED YEARS TO LOVE YOU (Fall 2023).

lyrics

Let’s go to a place
that we only know
Where autumn blooms flowers
In summer it snows
And I’d like to confess things
I never told

You steal my breath
while I steal your soul
We speak of lovers
haunted by ghosts
And I think you’re magic escaping
through some kind of smoke

Under a black sky
and a white moon
I will hold you
Under a black sky
And a white moon
I’ll be yours

I wait for you
Where fire meets ice
Body I love
bone that I bite
Flesh of my flesh—and nothing compares to your smile

Beneath the stars
Clothed in white
I see your skin
Sex to my eyes
And maybe there’s truth
to loving
that which we hide

Under a black sky
and a white moon
I will hold you
Under a black sky
And a white moon
I’ll be yours
Under a black sky
And a white moon
I will kiss you
Under a black sky
And a white moon
I’ll be yours

I’ll be yours
I’ll be yours
Only yours
I’ll be yours
