(Oooh, oooh, oooh, Moonlight Daughter.) Moonlight daughter, mother of the night I ain't asking you to hold and I ain't asking you to hide. I'm just searching for my Rock, calling for my Sorrow Hiding out in the sun to beg, steal or borrow I've got cinnamon, I've got flowers, I've got a firebird For the Powerless. I've got cinnamon in my hair, flowers in my pocket labyrinths up in my head. I've got a firebird on my arm, my baby on my shoulders marching in the name of Love I've got cinnamon, I've got flowers, I've got a firebird For the Powerless Moonlight daughter, mother of the night I ain't asking you to hold and I ain't asking you to hide. I'm just searching for my Rock, calling for my sorrow hiding out in the sun to beg, steal or borrow *სამება ჩემია, ისევე როგორც შენია სამყოფი გვეყოფა, თუ ერთმანეთი გვეღირსა. რასაც კი დათესავ, ხვალვე ვერ დაღვინდება შენს ნაკვალს მოიმკი, შენი დღე დადგება და მზე ამოვა, მთვარეს აანთებს დედა იმღერებს დედის სანატრელს და ცა მოისხავს ფაფუკ იმედებს, გამოიდარებს, გამოიდარებს... ** (Oooh, oooh, oooh, Moonlight Daughter...) * Language: Georgian. ** Translation: "Trinity is yours, as it is mine, There will always be enough, if there is enough time You sow your seeds that won't always bear wine But you'll reap what you labor for, all in due time ...And the Sun will rise & will light the Moon, And Mother will sing her wistful tune And the clouds will clear, make no mistake In the new sky...at daybreak "

How do you keep the music playing while you weather the storm? Keep the lights on blinking inside your soul And while you're feeling so proud, feeling so right with your God Say, do you really get it-do you see what's going down? (Oooh) Imitators in the night, turning water into wine, as they do Pulling vails over the vain, ready to wear life for show and I am watching all the little fish, see them flow Trickling down my wall... So hate on me Hater, your hate don't cut me And when the groove gets deeper yet, when the groove gets deeper... And when the groove gets deeper yet -and when the groove gets deeper And when the groove gets deeper yet, when the groove gets deeper... And when the groove gets deeper yet -the Sound will save me. (Oooh) Little Lady, handing out daisies at station from dusk to dawn Smiling at the wondering men, traveling to and from You just keep on keep on pushin' darlin'-Keep on keeping on You just keep on keep on pushin' darlin'-Keep on keeping on. Imitators in the night, turning water into wine, as they do Pulling vails over the vain, ready to wear life for show and I am watching all the little fish, see them flow Trickling down my wall. So hate on me Hater, your hate don't cut me And when the groove gets deeper yet, when the groove gets deeper... And when the groove gets deeper yet -and when the groove gets deeper And when the groove gets deeper yet, when the groove gets deeper... And when the groove gets deeper yet -and when the groove gets deeper II:Just keep on Keep on pushin' darlin'-Keep on keeping on :II Oooh...

(The scent of Lilacs ...) The scent of lilacs drifting heavy in Humboldt Park Sirens whaling in the distance after dark, Hold your hand a little tighter while we step in step 'Cross the street to the new day... Four letter words hold everything you need When you're born you are taught to take or to give Those four letter words make you all I've got Never lose sight of that... (Four letter words make you all I've got Four letter words, four letter words, four) And you find that you're getting on with your life for some time now And you find that you still talk to the angles from time to time And it gets heavier but it gets lighter sometimes, It gets heavier, but it get lighter sometimes... X2 ( *Russian) и так пройдет зима- и так сирень раскроет сердце и так зачинщица весна войдет ... и так споет луна- и так ответит ей солнце и так оставлю за собой старую боль это чувство не кончается, свет переливается и все начинается вновь это чувство не кончается, свет переливается и все находит свои путь... (и, и, и все находит ) And you find that you're getting on with your life for some time now And you find that you still talk to the angles from time to time. ( A little bit of disobey and little bit of disobey) And it gets heavier but it gets lighter sometimes It gets heavier, but i gets lighter sometimes... It gets heavier but it gets lighter sometimes It gets heavier, but i gets lighter sometimes...

My body is time in motion Slowly finding it pace Moving backwards, hanging under The tide is turning in this place Red light, White flames, on a Blue night Singing Odes to the Free Red light, White flames, on a Blue night This place is burning (...my body is....singing odes to the free...) Liquid brown eyes, dancing 'round the square room But on the outside the crowd is cheering for the downfall This Revolution won't be Televised, They Took the BIG HOUSE by the Storm Red light, White flames, on a Blue night Singing Odes to the Free Red light, White flames, on a Blue night This place is burning (This place is burning...singing Odes to the Free) He didn't see you, he didn't call it Lost at the Bazaar He didn't call it, didn't see you Lost at the Bazaar (Oh oh...This place is burning...) My body is....

(Oooh, ooh-ooh-oooh) Been around the word, seen a lot of things that I didn't know before Heard the weeping and laughter and joy in Green and Gold. Sat there smoking at 3 in the morning, watched you Tennessee Waltz in a round Jukebox flipping another one down and There goes my heart, skipping to the chorus now Oh, how I adore you Oh how I adore you Heard you wonder, is there Life on Mars Watched you kissing her Between the Bars Chasing the blues from Dusk to Dawn, now Heard you wonder, is there Life on Mars Watched you kissing her Between the Bars Chasing the blues and the Voodoo Down too, now (Oooh) Been around the word, seen a lot of things that I didn't know before Heard the weeping and laughter and joy in Green and Gold. Sat there smoking at 3 in the morning, watched you Tennessee Waltz in a round Jukebox flipping another one down and There goes my Billie, leaving it all on the floor Oh, how I adore you Oh how I adore you Heard you wonder, is there Life on Mars Watched you kissing her Between the Bars Chasing the blues from Dusk to Dawn, now Heard you wonder, is there Life on Mars Watched you kissing her Between the Bars Chasing the blues and the Voodoo Down too, now

Ain't nobody's business what type clothes I wear Ain't Nobody's business Who. I. LOVE. So does it really matter, doesn't matter Cause it ain't nobody's business but my own. Whole lot of love going on Ain't nobody gonna keep us fighting We're getting up and standing strong Love is Love and it's mystifying. As we LOVE....love, love, love, love (lalala Love, lalala LOVE) As we LOVE....love, love, love, love (lalala Love, lalala LOVE) Ain't nobody gonna keep us fighting Ain't nobody's gonna pull us apart Ain't nobody's gonna keep us fighting Ain't nobody gonna put us down Ain't nobody's business what type clothes I wear Ain't Nobody's business Who. I. LOVE So does it really matter, doesn't matter Cause it ain't nobody's business but my own. Two Gods in the poring rain, one left and one remained Which way does the morning fade? Too loud the gaping divide, the high, too hard- Move those mountains by heart. Somebody on the level for you, Somebody who will adore you Never heard them say you're done when you're in from the jump As We Love.

Valentine 03:44
Oh summer, summer what have we come to- Why'd you give up on me? Sweet as a hummingbird you'd come to me and I embraced you So why'd you give up on me? Caught a glimpse of a silhouette on the corner and I recognized you Heard a voice on the street, quoting Bowie and I recognized you All caught up in summertime, playing Valentine Hold out for a little while, till they love you I said "Hold out 'till they love you" I said "hold out 'till they do" Have scotch on the rocks at the Mill, Catch the sunrise on Montrose, Flash that crooked smile for me. Hopscotch on the sidewalk in the morning, While the seagulls are roaming, Tell that story again-mighty fine Valentine. So take your time, it don't bother me- We'll talk eventually, You're bound to run into yourself... and when you do, you know what comes around goes 'round too and now we're even. And you're bound to get and you're bout to go emancipate from the Moonlight glow that I have envied... and when you do, you know what comes around goes 'round too and now we're even. and we'll never know- silhouette in search of a liar we'll never know what's behind that smile and we''ll never know-did it get you a little higher? but on the other hand, doesn't matter...

(Georgian) დედაო ჩვენო, საქართველო ღვთისმშობლის ხვედრო, ნათელო მზით შემოსილო უძირო ცაო, ბარაქა შენ. (ნუნუაი ნაინა ჰე) The Soul that I posses from your love Stay clear of the ones I'm not sure of Through unemotional, better unconventional I'm going to love, going to love with all my soul There, beneath the moon on the foreign ground There, I'll help you carry that heavy load There's never just one reason that you can use there's never just one answer and there's never just one reason you can choose Never just one answer (ah, ralalala...deda...ralalala) დედაო ჩვენო, საქართველო ღვთისმშობლის ხვედრო, ნათელო (eeeh, all finness on the floor) I'm impossibly possible, inconceivably accurate like a compass Yet deeply feeling and plausible I'm impossibly possible, drifting like electricity I'm just like you, you're just like me...aaaw Yeah I'm from here, I'm from everywhere my heart has been Never had a silver spoon to my name except the one my Grandmother gave me, that one year I'm impossibly possible, my dear. My dear (aaah, eh-eh)

about

"Moonlight Daughter is an exploration of different states of love-with the album having three distinctive movements, set in Blue, Red and White sonic palates with storylines that complement them.

BLUE -(Moonlight Daughter-Whiskey & Cigarettes - Little Lady) is a stormy, brooding, water state that weaves and broods gradually setting up the mood and character lines explored on the record.

RED- (The Revolution) is a rebellion, a destruction of what came before ...lighting a fire around the various narrative points of the songs and setting them free.

WHITE -follows chaos into daylight with As We Love-Valentine-Deda, a trilogy of songs winking at the possibilities that show up on the horizon once the fog clears.

As all cycles are known to revolve in the pairings of 9, so does Moonlight Daughter, completing her motion from Daughter (Flowers for the Moon) to Mother (Deda).

This record is for everyone looking for an experience, whatever that might mean to YOU. It can be consumed at whatever pace, under whatever circumstance, in whatever weather. I hope it inspires you as much as it inspired me to create it.
Come in. Take a Ride. Mothermoon Connection awaits.

Love, Nino
