The lead single off of Devin Townsend’s 21st studio album Lightwork, the song is notable for being subdued and relatively straightforward compared to the bulk of Devin’s discography. Speaking about Moonpeople, Devin has stated:
Moonpeople is the first song on Lightwork and acts as a sort of mission...
Ode to the unknown
If we're gonna face it alone
Don't trust the fearing
Of revealing
Off to the unknown
I've often wandered alone, it don't bother me
Talk the talk
You'll find there's no place in the city
Let the moon clear slowly on your day
Ode to the unknown
We're gonna take the high road
Though what is appealing
Is the act of disappearing
Stop it
Walk the walk, you're finally free from it all
Let the mood keep clearing for today
Moon people challеnge the ways of the sun
But thе earth moves for you, babe, so breathe now
Watch your talk, you're finding yourself in it all
Let your mood clear fear along the way
Dream weaver, carry me away to the sun
But before we go through the golden door
To keep our hearts from wanting more
Just breathe now
Ode to the unknown
Ode to the unknown
Devin Townsend released Moonpeople on Fri Aug 26 2022.
