An almost mystical song and a classic, "The Whole of the Moon" is a 1985 single taken from The Waterboys' album " This Is the Sea". It is a classic of the band's repertoire and has been consistently played at live shows ever since its release. Written and produced by Mike Scott, the subject of the song has inspired some speculation. The single was not a big success when initially released in 1985, only making the lower ends of the chart. Subsequently it became one of The Waterboys' best-known songs and their most commercially successful.
The Waterboys are a band formed in 1983 by Mike Scott. The band's membership, past and present, has been composed mainly of musicians from Scotland, Ireland and England. Edinburgh, London, Dublin, Spiddal, New York, and Findhorn have all served as homes for the group. The band has played in a number of different styles, but their music is a mix of Celtic folk music with rock and roll. After ten years of recording and touring, they dissolved in 1993 and Scott pursued a solo career. They reformed in 2000, and continue to release albums and tour worldwide. Scott emphasises a continuity between The Waterboys and his solo work, saying that "To me there's no difference between Mike Scott and the Waterboys; they both mean the same thing. They mean myself and whoever are my current travelling musical companions.

While you just stayed in your room You saw the whole of the moon I wandered out in the world for years The whole of the moon I saw the crescent You held it in your hands But you saw the plan I pictured a rainbow I had flashes |
|
|
|
You were there in the turnstiles Too soon To reach too high With the wind at your heels Too far And you know how it feels You stretched for the stars You saw the whole of the moon |
|
|
|
You saw the whole of the moon I was dumbfounded by truth I saw the crescent While you filled the skies You cut through lies You saw Brigadoon I was grounded I saw the rain dirty valley |
|
|
|
I sighed You just flew You just knew You saw the whole of the moon I wondered I guessed and I tried I saw the crescent The whole of the moon I spoke about wings ... but you swooned! |
|
|
|
With a torch in your pocket And the wind at your heels You saw the whole of the moon You climbed on the ladder The whole of the moon! Too far Too soon And you know how it feels To get too high |
|
|
|
Scimitars and scarves Trumpets towers and tenements Wide oceans full of tears Underneath the stars Palaces and piers Unicorns and cannonballs Flags rags ferryboats Every precious dream and vision |
|
|
|
Too high too far too soon With the wind in your sails You came like a comet Blazing your trail Yes, you climbed on the ladder You saw the whole of the moon |
