Luna

I suppose nothing is set in stone but Paul and I have been thinking this will be our song for quite some time now. Smashing Pumpkins are one of my most favorite bands... and maybe one of the most influential bands of their era. Luna is one of their most unrecognized and low key songs out there. Even some fans don't really know the song... but it's simple and beautiful and touching all at once. It makes your heart beat in your belly and it makes your breath shallow. It makes you feel heavy with emotion, but light and mellow all at once. The song is magical.





What moonsongs
Do you sing your babies?
What sunshine do you bring?

Who belongs
Who decides who's crazy
Who rights wrongs where others cling?

I'll sing for you
If you want me to
I'll give to you
And it's a chance I'll have to take
And it's a chance I'll have to break

I go along
Just because I'm lazy
I go along to be with you

And those moonsongs
That you sing your babies
Will be the songs to see you through

I'll hear your song
If you want me to
I'll sing along
And it's a chance I'll have to take
And it's a chance I'll have to break

I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you

I'm in love with you
So in love
I'm in love with you
With you
I'm in love with you

I'm in love with you
So in love
I'm in love with you
I'm
I'm so in love
I'm in love with you


My favorite part might be where they say "I go along just because I'm lazy. I go along to be with you." It's simple and it's true. Why play games? Why create drama where it need not exist? Why not just simply be together, just to be together?
