The Child from A Moonless Night by Snowapple Collective (Official Video)

The Child is a restless, brooding track, with a pulsating bass sounding like footsteps running into the dark of night. Sparse, intimate verses questioning “what if, what if” alternate with an epic, anthemic chorus declaring “Darkness is endlessly patient”.
The Child is part of Snowapple’s ‘A Moonless Night’ project. Snowapple’s most recent album comes from a dystopian universe, viewed through the prism of a dream or a kaleidoscope. In addition to the music, the project consists of a 60 minute, surrealist art film and a book of poetry. The film is directed by: Eva Schumacher, Nora Tinholt and Laurien SHE Snowapple.
The music of 'A Moonless Night' is on vinyl, CD (available from Snowapple’s Webshop, Zip Records or at all tour dates) and streaming services .
The vinyl and CD contain 26 tracks including bonus tracks and poems from the film, while a streamlined version of the album with 10 songs will be available for streaming.

There’s a child
Pinned down in his bed
He knows by staying still
He ceases to exist
There’s a thing
Shrouded in the dark
Bides its time
Waits for him
Shut your eyes
Clench your fists
What if?
What if it…
There are things
He cannot control
His heartbeat
And why should he?
Darkness is endlessly patient
And darkness has been waiting for us to exist
Darkness is endlessly patient
And darkness has been waiting for us to exist
There’s a child
Pinned down in his bed
He knows by staying still
He ceases to exist
There are things
He cannot control
His heartbeat
And why should he?
Shut your eyes
Clench your fists
What if?
What if it…
Shut your eyes
Clench your fists
What if?
What if it…
What if?
What if it…
