The song “Moondance” was written in 1970 by Irish rock, jazz
and soul musician Van Morrison. This song is very romantic and playful; it
never loses its classical styling or whimsical feeling whatever musical genre
it is played in. The lyrics are artistic in their form and quite beautiful,
flowing with the melody.
Canadian jazz crooner Michael Buble` sings “Moondance”
in a jazzy swing sound, with a Frank Sinatra styled voicing. When you hear him
sing this song it puts you back in the 1930s and 1940s, even if you are not old
enough to remember the 1930s or 1940s. Buble` brings out a class and
romanticism in music that has been lost since the early nineties, when music
started to be just modern noise, with singers and songwriters who could not
sing with emotions and had little to no talent for writing music or the art of
creating lyrics and their stories. Michael Buble`, like Josh Groban, has
brought back some sanity to the art form of singing and performing with the
ability to choose or create good material. No crazy empty foolish noise, no
Britany Spears here, musical intelligence is back.
I loved this song as a kid, and still do; it puts me in mind
of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, dancing across a moonlit dance floor, though
it was long after their time. It has a flow that you want to dance to with
someone you love. Just bring your fancy dance shoes and tuxedo and your lady
fair. It is also a good song to listen to on a summer’s evening, walking in the
moonlight, maybe with someone special.
