“Hey Moon“ is the fourth song from John Maus' We Must Become the Pitiless Censors of Ourselves. It is told in the perspective of a individual addressing the Moon, his close friend.
The audible on this track is Molly Nilsson’s duet vocal track: Swedish songwriter who authored the original “Hey Moon“, in 2008 on her album, These Things Take Time.
John Maus' cover, lyrically and melodically faithful to the original, with the unmistakable tonal shroud that earmarked this album as relevant when it debuted in 2011. Although reviewers and fans of Nilsson complained about the veritable note-by-note rendition, his views on pop minimalism, informed by his political philosophy background, suggests an ethical homage that sought to add new perspective through elusive, evanescent musical means—like the song meaning itself.
