Текст песни Canyon Moon - Commentary - Andrew McMahon In the Wilderness

When I was recording the In The Wilderness record,
I spent a good amount of time in this cabin
Up in Topanga Canyon just outside of Los Angeles.
And there was this amazing moon that would,
That would sort of climb the sky every day.
And, and in the canyon, often,
That was the only light that I
Would see for a good portion of the night
Because I was really out in the middle of nowhere.
I couldn′t really even see any other houses
And I went into a session one day and I was like,
I just want to talk about this, this crazy moon
And we, I referenced, you know, Mamas & the Papas, California Dreamin'
And a couple other sort of 60s inspired California songs
That had a haunting aspect to them
As much as a sort of a carefree association with the beach
And that′s what we were going for with Canyon Moon
And I feel like on this record it did, in a lot of ways,
Turn out not only to have that haunting element
But really kind of paint that picture of Topanga Canyon
And the feelings of escape that I think are associated with it from,
You're not just now but all the way back to the,
To the middle of the last century.
