The Moon - The Swell Season

no coping intended
I noticed that there was no album version of this song up only live ones. This is off their self titled album 'the swell season'
'The Moon' by The Swell Season
Cut the bonds with the moon
And let the dogs gather
Burn the gauze in the spoon
And suck the poison up
And bleed
Shut the door to the moon
And let the birds gather
Play no more with the fool
And let the souls wander
And bleed
From the soul
A slow hurt.. and it breaks us..
And so down,
Down, down and so plain
So down
When you play some more it seems so
And my friends are past this game
Of breakdowns
And our friends that are lost at sea..
Throw down
And I'll break the wasted space
Slow down, slow down,
If you don't slow down, slow down
If you don't slow down, slow..
Cut the bonds with the moon
And watch the dogs gather

This song sounds like loving someone, being with somenone, missing someone, looking for someone, finding someone, remembering someone, trying to forget someone. This song sounds like happiness, tears, laughter, pain. This song sounds like love :)

[@ttbo12]

I discovered this song in the movie Dear John. Loved the movie, loved the song. It's amazing how simple the piece is with one guitar and two voices but it all fits together in the most amazing way. The song is so ethereal and, like one of Spanish comments said, it takes you to heaven.

[@badunkadrunk]

reminds me of the first time you finally become intimate with the person you've loved for a while, and you almost desperately try to hold on to that feeling cuz nothing will ever match it

[@missamandamane]

laying in bed, tears down my cheeks.. i honestly don't know why this song makes me so sad, yet relaxed

[@fiks267]

As this genre goes away with today's music. I miss the good old days. INDIE 4EVER

[@nduisimelane2748]

When music changes your entire life in a matter of minutes. Absolute Genius

[@jgrayersqueen]

Ndui Simelane it is very deep. And the acoustics are very relaxing too

[@Polarbeard777]

Absolutely! Its visceral. It cuts and soothes at the same time. To do that is unadulterated talent To say I love it is an understatement!

[@mtegomes9223]

Dear John

[@jakenbake9191]

mmhm

[@LadyLegz]

GAWD You can't mistake that voice! Glen Hansard fan since ONCE!!

[@themadscientist7]

the is in the top 5 of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard

[@ahmetbulbul5257]

can you share other 4?

[@Sohogrl7]

i just listened to this while watching a sunset. amazing.

[@marinesgirl2011]

Sitting in my back yard on a lawn chair, just got off work,and drinking a glass of wine. Pure bliss. I miss my husband in afgahnistan though :/

[@The1sweetmoment]

Curling up on the back porch during a light rain with a blanket and a glass of wine while listening to this song is one of the best decisions I've made lately. It feels good to just do nothing, sometimes.

[@violetajuarezgarcia8408]

domingo por la mañana, cafe, cigarro, mucho frio y esa melodia que complementa la tremenda melancolia que hoy esta en mi

[@brettdavis404]

What a way to express your depression. Absolutely beautiful

[@vikkigilmore]

This song's been on replay all night. I just can't get enough.

[@xXxannihilaterxXx101]

This is song is amazing, and I've known it for a long time. Tonight, I just watch the movie "Once" (which is a highly fantastic) movie. Anyways during the movie I was like these people sound familiar. Little did I know later when reading on the movie these two were the main actors... I was mind blow. On a side note they also shared a romance, him at 37 and her 19.

[@sherri14309]

There are some amazing live cuts of this song on youtbbe of the band in concert. The live version is absolutely mind blowing. You should all check some of them out.

[@vavanas]

One of the most beautiful, emotional and soulful songs, I've ever heard.

[@jasongravesmccarthy]

AMAZING.....LOVE THIS SONG! Sends shivers down my spine every time.

[@AgnessBass]

Perfect driving alone in the rain song...I am so glad I had the chance to listen to it for the first time like this, when I borrowed a friend's car...

[@cammilove358]

Beautiful always puts my mind at ease

[@MegPal]

Every time I hear this song I think of the same person... No matter how long it's been, no matter how much I've moved on.

[@laidhotel728]

Still?

[@Camil90]

Dear John has one of the best soundtracks ever, and amazing movie, cried a LOT

[@billabong9215]

When I first heard this, I thought it was Radiohead! wonderful piece.

[@Isaa497]

[@DebbieJane20]

I love Markéta Irglová & Glen Hansard. 2 brilliant voices, 1 brilliant song.

[@chrischigta]

Saw this song yesterday at their concert in Paris and loved it. The whole concert in general was just amazing. Glen has a breathtaking voice, it just gives me the creepes.

[@Ann0861]

Me causa tanta melancolía ésta canción...

[@bufo604]

one beautiful girl introduced me to this song... I think is so lovely and love her more now

[@danielasilva2527]

Beautiful song! 👌

[@joevs21001]

I just found this incredible duet of magical music making yesterday by happenstance coming across them on youtube quite by chance. I am so very glad I did. These two are two of the most promising musicians of the modern age. They will someday be "superstars" without a doubt. They are now, but not hugely known yet here in the United States. I can only say one word......WOW! Yes....they ARE that good.

[@alxoxo987]

dear john..amazingggggggggg movie. cried like a baby lol great soundtrack too

[@canigci]

küstürdüğüm bir dalın nidasına rastladım az önce,ne ağır ne ağrılı ama tebessüm. öldürdüğü dalı yeşertemiyor insan, yıllar sonra bile hala en çok iyi ki!

[@Sewqen]

birader bu nası bi yorum ya ağlattı şarkı eşliğinde okuyunca. böyle bi yaşanmışlığım olmasa bile.

[@granalith]

I had heard of the Swell Season before Dear John but had never heard The Moon, now it is my favorite by them and it fit perfectly in the movie.

[@johnrivas3319]

[@spespespencer]

Oh but how this song, these words, makes my heart ache and swell with want. A tear, at the crest of my eye, forms slowly. It glides softly down the curve of my cheek and finds its way to the tip of my chin. Hanging on till' the last moment when it breaks free, falling quietly, making a stain on my pant leg. I think of her. The miles that separate us. The years gone wasted. The time we've lost. I think of her.

[@OUtkast19782007]

@saralovesautumn I'm one of many people who are guilty of being ignorant to music other than the ones we are custom of hearing… I ran in to this song while watching the movie Dear John and I must say this is by far one of the most beautiful songs I ever heard and I have listen to lots of music.So I decide to give their album a listen and to my surprise their whole album was great..love them 4ever a fan

My life feels like its just building up to bring a complete failure, ever since I was young I felt I was made to be something big ( Im 17 now) and now it seems like im either gonna be homeless, poor or dead and it makes me sad. Here I am getting my regular therapy from this beautiful music..

[@TheMRDrums]

Your hope is fully in Jesus Christ, Lord and Saviour.

[@BaronVonHex]

Josh Mills Christians never miss a chance to prey on the weak. Leave the kid alone. He doesn't need illusions; he needs sound advice.

[@BaronVonHex]

Antonio, you are far far too young to give up hope. You have barely begun life. People continue to grow and change throughout their lives. Your hope lies in learning more about the world and more about how human minds work. Understanding is liberating. Nearly everyone goes through massive depression at some point in their lives. You are not alone.

[@JordanJohnsonify]

Wyatt271828 christianity is something i won't return to believe me and thank you wyatt, that was just what i needed, times seem not to be getting any better unfortuneatly

[@JordanJohnsonify]

[@Yulla18]

Te estoy pensando..."once".A vos, a tu guitarra, a nosotros, sin permiso de mi, sin permiso de vos, te estoy pensando y lloro, por que nunca sentí tanto dolor como cuando...y esta canción, esta es la que mejor dibuja mis sentimientos,lo que sentí,mi pena y mi tristeza.Es la que mejor puso en notas musicales lo que no se explica con palabras.

[@ccpuffable]
