about

Arthur C. Lee’s cover of ‘Moonglow’ is a celebration of this swing-era popular song with a modern twist. Crooning vocals and lush guitars add a syrupy layer on top of the classic sounds of upright bass beating alongside drums played with brushes. Lee sings and plays guitars, with guest appearances from pedal steel aficionado Paul Brainard (M. Ward, The Decemberists), Casey Tuck on drums, and Arcellus Sykes (Ural Thomas and the Pain) on upright bass.

ARTHUR C. LEE
PNW surf songs with to-the-point songwriting of Tom Petty, raw energy of Wilco, and a rich and diverse musical palette a la Yo La Tengo.

lyrics

It must have been moonglow
Way out in the blue
It must have been moonglow
That led me right to you

I heard you saying
Please hold me fast
I'm sittin' here praying
Lord make this last

We seem to float right through the air
Heavenly songs coming from everywhere

I heard you saying
Please hold me fast
I'm sittin' here praying
Lord make this last

We seem to float right through the air
Heavenly songs coming from everywhere

It must have been moonglow
Way out in the blue
It must have been moonglow
That led me right to you
