"Looking At The Moon" | A Song For Our Time award-winning musical number sung by Hadley Fraser

You can have an exclusive first listen to "Looking At The Moon", a brand new musical number that recently won the "A Song For Our Time" competition.
The competition, set up by Danielle Tarento and Paul Wilkins, was aiming to find a new tune to mark the events of 2020. The winning piece is penned by Amir Shoenfeld and Caitlyn Burt, and has now been specially recorded in a new video featuring a performance by award-winning actor Hadley Fraser.
Tarento and Wilkins said: "We were absolutely overwhelmed at the response to this search, with over 260 submissions from across six continents. The standard was incredibly high, with new songs from world-class songwriters from all four corners of the globe. Narrowing them down to a shortlist of three was unbelievably difficult and we are so grateful to Tony Award-winning composer Jason Robert Brown for helping us to make the final decision. We are delighted with the chosen song, "Looking At The Moon" and thank Amir and Caitlyn for sharing their message of hope with us."

the song is beautiful, hadley's voice is so soothing. perfect.

[@peterstephen9316]

I can see this gorgeous song being part of a musical. Hadley staring in a one man show, set during lockdown his character struggling with the isolation and feelings of loss. His love was stranded in another country when borders were imposed and flights were cancelled.

Lyrics: I’m sorry that I’ve got to be away from you I’m sorry that I can’t be there I wish it wasn’t so We’ll have to sit it out this time apart but still together The distance makes the longing grow The dusk has come gone without us noticing The dusk has come gone and now the night is cold and grey But if you feel the solitude and can’t wait till the morning I’m always just a phone call away When the moon appears at night And I know you see it too I don’t feel so lonely looking at the moon Knowing that I’ll see you soon Soon enough the sun will start to rise again Soon enough the night will end and I’ll be by your side Until then I will dream of you and how when we are together We’ll wipe away the tears we’ve cried But when the moon appears at night And I know you see it too I don’t feel so lonely looking at the moon Knowing that I’ll see you soon Outside my window it’s softly still now My mind is restless I can’t deny The noise within though is not as shrill now Not when I raise my eyes off to the sky ‘Cos when the moon appears at night And I know you see it too I don’t feel so lonely looking at the moon Knowing that I’ll see you soon And when the moon we see is bright And it lights up both our skies I can feel you with me looking at the moon Knowing I’ll be with you soon I can feel you with me looking at the moon Knowing I’ll see you soon Knowing that I’ll see you soon And when the moon we see is bright And it lights up both our skies I can feel you with me looking at the moon Knowing I’ll be with you soon
