A nostalgic synth pop trip into the loneliness of the moon
When I first heard "Stay On The Moon" by Split Vision, I was immediately reminded of the early sound experiments by "Depeche Mode". The song has this elusive charm: a naive-futuristic atmosphere that hovers somewhere between longing and an almost childlike hope.
The clear structure of the lyrics fits perfectly into the sound and brings a melancholic, yet timeless depth into play. Especially the line "Leaving earth to stay on the moon" stuck with me and enhances this mixture of romantic despair and hopelessness. For me, "Stay On The Moon" is not a song that comes up with great drama, but a subtle synth pop track that impresses with its simplicity.

Lyrics of "Split Vision – Stay On The Moon"
I can sing this song forever
Wishing you could hear it soon
Feeling alone together
Leaving earth to stay on the moon
How could I reach you
I wouldn’t know
How did you find out
our love will die tomorrow
our love will die tomorrow
die tomorrow
die tomorrow
What could make the world to change
I would really wanna know
It seems to me it’s all so strange
Do you feel it too ?
I can blame my self forever
Wishing you could understand
Doing all just for the better
Leaving you is a part of the grand
What could make the world to change
I would really wanna know
It seems to me it’s all so strange
Do you feel it too ?
I can sing this song forever
Wishing you could hear it soon
Feeling alone together
Leaving earth to stay on the moon
