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.

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