The Moon Song Lyrics

The Moon Song

Yeah Yeah Yeah's frontwoman Karen 'O' Orzolek wrote this lullaby for the 2013 feature film Her, with the movie's director (and her ex) Spike Jonze. She recalled: "'The Moon Song' was written and recorded in the most humble of circumstances; at my dining room table, a few paces away from the couch [where] I read the script for Her for the first time."

This marked Orzolek's second film collaboration with Spike Jonze, after she wrote the soundtrack for his 2009 film Where the Wild Things Are. The pair also previously collaborated on a 2005 Adidas commercial, Hello Tomorrow.

Orzolek recorded a second version of the tune with Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig, which was included in a three-song EP of "The Moon Song." "I wrote the song as a duet," the Yeah Yeah Yeahs singer told Rolling Stone. "I was really excited at the prospect of getting to record it with a male vocalist. Ezra was super cool and open, he slipped into character like a champ and damn he's got the goods.... Singing this song with Ezra felt like fulfilling a wish of my diehard romantic junior high self."

Rapt Lyrics

Bright as a star
Be the light
Strobing down on me
Suddenly I was free
Let me go on the
Show, I can cough
I can choke
On this colour smoke
Off went the switch
Love is soft
Love's a fucking bitch

Do I really need
Another habit like
You are really me
Do you need me too?
I believe it's gonna leave me blue

Bright as a star
Be the light
Strobing down on me
Suddenly I was free
Let me go on the
Show, I can cough
I can choke
On this colour smoke
On went the switch
Love is soft
Love's a fucking bitch

Do I really need
Another habit like
You are really me
Do you need me too?
I believe it's gonna feel like new

Rapt Song Chart

This heart-crushing two-minute lo-fi acoustic dirge was written by Karen O back in 2006 and 2007 along with the rest of the Crush Songs album. "When I was 27, I crushed a lot," explained the Yeah Yeah Yeahs singer. "I wasn't sure I'd ever fall in love again. These songs were written and recorded in private around this time. They are the soundtrack to what was an ever continuing love crusade. I hope they keep you company on yours."

"'Rapt' is the second song written on this curated collection of crush songs from my personal library," Karen O added. This track is about someone who became a habit that was hard to kick."

The music video was directed by Karen's husband, director Barney Clay (TV On the Radio, Gnarls Barkley, Yeah Yeah Yeahs). The clip features production design from K.K. Barrett, who collaborated with Karen on her Stop the Virgens opera project and was nominated for an Oscar for his work on Her.
