This week, Blind Skeleton lifts a glass to the full moon—and to love that’s weathered a few of them. On this Supermoon evening, we trace how the moonlight wove itself into the music of the early 1900s: from the dreamy hush of Neil Moret’s “Moonlight Serenade” (1905) to the warm harmonies of “By the Light of the Silvery Moon” (1909), and finally to the joyous barn-dance energy of Arthur Pryor’s “Shine On, Harvest Moon” (1910).
It’s a short trip through America’s lunar imagination—when the moon wasn’t just romantic scenery but a kind of emotional electricity connecting lovers, dreamers, and dancers under the same glow.
