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.

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