Saucy Dog “Midday Moon” MV

Not a full moon or a crescent moon, but the image behind this song—and its title—is “The Moon at High Noon.” We usually think of the moon as something we see at night, but even in the daytime, though we may not see it clearly, it’s still there.

Sometimes it does appear, doesn’t it? Like that “noonday moon,” this song evokes someone precious who may be unseen but is always present.

Everyone has words spoken by someone important that have stayed in their heart, don’t they? This rock number brings back those words and feelings.

Saucy Dog captivates with their warm, high-toned vocals.

The voices of your family—so noisy when you lived together—become something you find yourself missing.

But when you start to feel that way, it’s the memories you shared with them that give you a gentle push forward.

The message woven into the song, carried by the vocalist’s clear, expansive voice, makes you feel ready to try your best again starting tomorrow—such a song.
