Who Sings the Moon and New York City? A Cosmic Conundrum
So, you've heard the song, right? That dreamy, melancholic tune that paints a picture of being caught between the celestial body and the concrete jungle. It’s like the singer is having an existential crisis while trying to decide whether to chase their dreams or just enjoy the moonlight. But who the heck is it? Let's dive into this musical mystery.
The Cosmic Crooner
It's Christopher Cross, folks! The man, the myth, the legend. Okay, maybe not a legend in the same league as Elvis or Michael Jackson, but definitely a legend in his own right. This dude managed to capture the essence of feeling lost and found at the same time in a melody so smooth, you'd think he was butter.
More Than Just a Song
Now, "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)" is the official title, but let's be real, everyone knows it as the "Moon and New York City" song. It's like the ultimate soundtrack for when you're staring out of your window, contemplating life's big questions, and wondering if pizza delivery is still open.
The song was actually written for the movie "Arthur," starring Dudley Moore. It's about this rich, lovable goofball trying to figure out his life. But somehow, Christopher Cross managed to turn it into a universal anthem for anyone who's ever felt a bit overwhelmed by the world.
The Magic of the Melody
What makes this song so special? Is it the lyrics? The melody? The fact that it makes you feel like you're floating on a cloud of existential dread? Probably a bit of all three. But let's be honest, it's mostly the melody. It's like a warm hug on a cold night, a soft blanket on a rainy day, or a really good slice of pizza.
So, the next time you're feeling a bit lost, or just want to enjoy a truly beautiful song, give "Arthur's Theme" a listen. You might just find yourself caught between the moon and New York City, too.
