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