“Me and the Moon“ by Emma Forgette

If you’ve ever gone through heartbreak, or the loss of any kind of love, you know that something about the solitude and quiet of nighttime can make that pain particularly evocative. In “Me and the Moon” by Emma Forgette, she explores the longing for a lost love and laments that the moon is now her only companion. As she stares at the sky, she says “I can see your eyes in the stars, but it’s not the same.” No matter how hard she wishes, it is still just her and the moon. 

Descriptive imagery like “I’ve got moonlight and a warm June now, all that’s missing here is you” paints a picture of Forgette singing to the night sky, wishing her love would come back to her. She grapples with the idea that she can still feel such an intense love for someone who is not in her life anymore. The steady and ever-watching moon listens to her cries, offering her a semblance of the connection she once had with her old love. 

“Me and the Moon” is an intimate track with melodic piano and acoustic guitar that set the scene for the poignant lyrics. The stand out element of the song, though, is Forgette’s incredibly powerful vocal performance. As the story and emotion of the track grow, so do her vocals, and you can feel her longing in every belted note, raspy voice crack, and fluid riff. The expressive performance is so desperate and raw that it not only makes you feel Forgette’s heartbreak, but breaks your own heart a little bit too.
