The Whole Of The Moon Chords And Strumming, The Waterboys

Share the Whole Of The Moon Chords and Strumming:

Did You Know?  When The Whole Of The Moon was first released in 1985 it only reached the lower end of the charts. It took a while for people to fall in love with it. Later in 1991 it was re-released charted at no.3 and won the Ivor Novello Award for 'Best Song Musically And Lyrically'.


There have been lots of speculation about who the song is about but songwriter Mike Scott said -'The Whole of the Moon is about someone like CS Lewis, who seemed to see so much and explore issues much more deeply than most people, or it could be about a Jimi Hendrix-type person who comes "like a comet, blazing your trail" and is gone too soon, but it's not specifically about anyone'

Trouble Chords And Strumming, Coldplay

Share the Trouble Chords and Strumming:

Did You Know?  Coldplay has refused to accept several offers to use "Trouble" for advertising campaigns. In 2004, the band rejected a multi-million Euro offer from Diet Coke and Gap to use the song. Coldplay asked their manager to not refer such offers to them because "a discussion might lead to compromise".
