Surreal AI Scenes – Heavy Old Moon – Kelly Boesch | 4K

#surreal #aiart #ai
I made this video that has an underlying moon theme. So when I went to write the song for the video for some reason I got the idea of using the old trope about a famous writer and the young writer that falls in love with him. And when the famous writer dies, he asks the younger writer to burn his unfinished works. The young writer keeps the works and publishes them. It’s been written about and lived over and over. Not sure what made me think of that but it seemed to fit.

The moon does not generate its own light; it reflects the sun. To the young protégé, the older writer seemed like a brilliant, self-sustaining sun. But in reality, he was the moon, channeling and reflecting brilliance, while harboring his own “brightest secret” and “lie.” He was human, aging, and flawed, but he successfully projected an image of absolute brilliance to his young lover.

Heavy Old Moon

[Verse 1]
He was a maker of light
who borrowed the sun as his own
He folded his brightest secret
in words that were his alone

He let the lie slip easy
like a coin he pulled from his sleeve
And you were the only witness
who watched him start to leave

[Pre-Chorus]
You kept his loose ending
locked in your chest
Sure he was steady
enough for the rest

You thought he was fixed
to a permanent star
Never once worried
he’d wander too far

[Chorus]
Oh the heavy old moon
won’t give up its beat
He gave you his brightest lines
then turned on his feet

Now the tide pulls away
to wherever it’s bound
But I still hear him saying
“keep some light around”

[Verse 2]
It happens in pieces
this losing of a friend
You couldn’t see the dimming
before it reached the end

But stand there quiet enough
and hear what still remains
The warmth he left behind him
moving through your days

[Pre-Chorus]
So carry his loose ending
still in your chest
Honor the promise
he left for the rest

The world’s still short
on people who shine
Even when the author
has finished his line

[Chorus]
Oh the heavy old moon
won’t give up its beat
He gave you his brightest lines
then turned on his feet

Now the tide pulls away
to wherever it’s bound
But I still hear him saying
“keep some light around”
