Love Is All Around

from Splendid Noise by Gus Moon

/

lyrics

The first steps of a child
Where the sky meets the sea
It's holding too long
To jeans without knees
It's following footsteps
So a name can live on
It's never believing you've waited too long

It's climbing a mountain
It's swimming with sharks
It's leaving a light on
So he can see when it's dark
It's up before sunrise
To get out to the barn
It's a sticky-note reminder
With a smile and a heart

We're all here for a while
Then given back to the Earth
The impossible measure
Of this life and it's worth
Remember to notice
If you're world's crumbling down
Love is all around

You can hear it in the morning
As the breeze sweetly sings
It's the in-laws at Christmas
A big, wet kiss from Aunt Louise
It's being forced to stand up
To defend what is yours
It's even somewhere in war

We're all here for a while
Then given back to the Earth
The impossible measure
Of this life and it's worth
Remember to notice
If your world's crumbling down
Love is all around

It's written on pages
It's in tears falling down
Love is all around

There's no need to search
It can always be found

Gus Moon Bainbridge, Indiana

As true to himself as Gus Moon can seem, when pick hits string and he pulls that first lyric up from his gut, he transforms. A Gus Moon show is as much a séance as it is a musical experience, as he melds personal experience, troubled characters, and often more-troubling narratives into many of his songs. He becomes the persona of the songs, like an actor might embody a role. -Patrick Barcus ... more
