My Little Lover / Moon Ship

This “Moon Boat” is included on My Little Lover’s eighth album, “Sora no Shirushi,” released in 2009.

The moon is a mysterious presence—gentle and calm, yet also somewhat frightening.

The song likens this unknowable moon, which becomes more elusive the more you learn about it, to the feelings of someone in love and to what lies ahead.
