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