The Moon Song, written and sung by Karen O, was recently nominated as one of the Best Original Songs for the Academy Awards. It was written for the Spike Jonze movie Her, about a heartbroken man who falls in love with a computer operating system. If the song is any indication of how sweet and intimate the film is, I can't wait to see it.
I'm lying on the moon
My dear, I'll be there soon
It's a quiet starry place
Time's we're swallowed up
In space we're here a million miles away
There's things I wish I knew
There's no thing I keep from you
It's a dark and shiny place
But with you my dear
I'm safe and we're a million miles away
We're lying on the moon
It's a perfect afternoon
Your shadow follows me all day
Making sure I'm okay and
We're a million miles away
