@Moon River : The origin of this goddess was a semitian vegetation and moon goddess with lower influence, but when these tribes arrived at the land of the sumerian kingdom, her cult reached the sumerian capital Uruk. The sumerian people identified Ishtar easily with their own goddess Inanna. After some time Ishtar became in the second millenium the highest and widest worshipped goddess of the Babylonians. (And it goes on. ishtar’s hubbie dies, she goes and gets him back. Rain falls and vegetation flourishes again).
So many songs, stories, legends about the moon. This is why we have decided to help you, aspiring songwriters out there and gather all significant concepts that need to appear in a decent “Moon Song”. Others could play a simple game and give us the origin of each verse in Comments.
Fly me to the moon And Let me see what spring is like On Jupiter and Mars
In other words hold my hand In other words darling kiss me
I look at you and suddenly,Something in your eyes I see
Soon begins bewitching me.Its that old devil moon
Somewhere theres music Somewhere theres heaven How high the moon.
There is no moon above When love is far away, Till you love me as I love you
It must have been that moonglow Way up in the blue, that led me to you
Out of the darkness you suddenly appeared and I was taken by surprise
I guess I should have seen right through you But the moon got in my eyes
No moon at all, what a night, Stars have disappeared from sight
Allegheny Moon, I need your light, to find romance tonight,
The song that I sing is of moonlight. I wait for your hand in the June night.
Will this be moon love, Are these just moon dreams, while the moon beams?
Allegheny Moon, your silver beams lead the way to golden dreams,
But when the moon fades away, will my dreams come true?
Much as I love you, don’t let me love you.
You can gamble for match sticks, you can gamble for gold.The stakes may be heavy or small.
So they call me a moonlight gambler. Well, I’ve gambled for love and lost.
Pennies in a stream Falling leaves, a sycamore Moonlight in Vermont
Icy finger-waves Ski trails on a mountainside Snowlight in Vermont
Moon River, wider than a mile, I’m crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,wherever you’re going I’m going your way.
Blue moon, You saw me standing alone Without a dream in my heart
You know just what I was there for You heard me saying a prayer for Someone I care for
A country dance was being held in a garden where The roses are sighing a Moonlight Serenade.
Suddenly I saw polka dots and moonbeams, All around a pug-nosed dream
Come and take a trip in my rocket ship We’ll have a lovely afternoon
Kiss the world goodbye and away we fly Destination moon
Quite messy! We know.
