Son Of Caesar waves goodbye to the summer on new single.

Late summer song ‘Moonlit Skies’ is the 5th single from Son Of Caesar’s
acclaimed sophomore album ”Nothing Is What It Was”.

The summer sun is slowly waving goodbye to the Danish sky and Son Of Caesar is once again able to deliver his bittersweet melancholy. With help from his gifted American friends Nate Walcott on trumpet (Bright Eyes, First Aid Kit etc.) and Catherine Popper on bass (Ryan Adams & The Cardinals, Jack White etc.) Son Of Caesar has created another beautiful summer song that rides the waves like a gentle midsummer breeze.

”’Moonlit Skies’ is about being able to say goodbye without knowing if it is temporary or definitive. Saying goodbye to the summer is one thing – another thing is departing with the people you’ve met during the course of the summer. It may have offered new friendships, a summer fling or maybe even a new girlfriend. It is about being able to hold on to those new feelings that have arisen now that the wind is getting colder again and the
sun turns its back to us,” says Peter Mathiasen, who is behind Son Of Caesar.

lyrics

We said goodbye under moonlit skies
But you, you were already gone
You traveled on to a distant dawn
Lost and alone you go on

You said that you don't belong here
But you never said you'd go
Now you're walking fast
Through cities all covered in snow

Meet you on the train
The weatherman is promising us rain
And I look all the same
I'm waiting for you here
No need to fear
We'll disappear
And let our footsteps remain

I live alone under moonlit skies
But summer is already gone
But I found a note in the song you wrote
Lost and alone it goes on

It said, "Life isn't always a beautiful thing
But I guess you know by now"
And I would see you soon
If someone could ever show me how

And I'll meet you on the stars
We’ll float around like Mercury and Mars
The strings on my guitar
Play chords that are sweeping through
The notes that are greeting you
Wherever you are

So come home
Come home
Come home
Come home

Meet you on the stars
We’ll float around like Mercury and Mars
The strings on my guitar
Play chords that are sweeping through
The notes that are greeting you
Wherever you are

Son Of Caesar Denmark

I was born on a mountain with the emperor looking my way. I was raised in a fountain. In the water I'd swim all day. And I wasn't longing for the riverside. I was waiting for the city lights to come on.
