about
Jon Moon presents his new single „Once again“. „Once again my head is in the clouds / I can’t seem to come down / There’s too much going on all around“ the Berlin artist sings in the chorus. It is a song about feeling overwhelmed at a time when new global crises seem to arise each day, and we’re all dealing with our own issues already. "Once Again" is about withdrawing into oneself, about helplessness and the feeling of not getting anywhere. Still, the tune doesn't do without Jon Moon's signature optimism. This already becomes apparent in the verses and at the end clearly asserts itself against the otherwise melancholic, contemplative tenor: "But I know that whatever may come / Jah Jah a go always keep me strong".
The song is a collaboration with DJ Edoo & Eduardo Vinocour from Costa Rica and while the vocals were recorded at Planet Earth Studios in Berlin, the riddim was recorded at EVA Sound Studios in San José. "Once Again" will be released digitally as a single on September 30th.
lyrics
Once again my head is in the clouds
I can't seem to come down
There's too much going on all around
Wonder when I'll manage to move on
To finally get things done
And deal with everything that's going on, yeah
Cause there is way too much to tackle
Where to start, where to begin?
And everyone got his struggle
From Costa Rica straight to Berlin
And sometimes when it get's too much
I just wanna run away and I feel like giving up
But when you're looking for the answer
Open your heart and search within
Because it's not a sin
To feel overwhelmed by all the news that keep on coming in
No one knows the outcome when the see the bottle spin
So take that crappy feeling and then put it in a bin
Try not to focus on the things that could have been
Try not to focus on your weakness and your flaws
Cah otherwise your thoughts dem a go start to spin
That I have to learn because:
Once again my head is in the clouds
I can't seem to come down
There's too much going on all around
Wonder when I'll manage to move on
To finally get things done
And deal with everything that's going on, yeah
You really coulda take anything
Cause there is way too much happening
And so I'm counting my doubts
My head in the clouds and between
And disya state so depressing
Til I remember the blessing
Of the Word, Power, Sound
By the King that was crowned with a Queen
Once again my head is in the clouds
I can't seem to come down
There's too much going on all around
Wonder when I'll manage to move on
To finally get things done
And deal with everything that's going on, yeah
Deal with everything that's going on, yeah
Way too many things are going on, yeah
But I know that whatever may come, yeah
Jah Jah a go always keep me strong, yeah
