about

Moon gazing has been an activity Jan has taken part in from an early age, when her Dad introduced her to it. Over the years it connected them, wherever they were - and after his passing, it still feels like a thread of connection to his spirit.

lyrics

Moon

Kneeling on my pillow at the bedroom window
I used to gaze at the moon, through my Dad’s old binoculars
I brought her into the room.
I’m not sure when it all began, but I was in your arms
You held me close and told me the tale
of the man in the moon.

The man in the moon
The man in the moon

Then I left and your eyes began to cloud
but the moon watched over us
She watched over you
and drew us back together again, when we were apolune
We come back into orbit and then, “I copy you”
Feel the pulling of tide and time, dancing like molecules
Yesterday could be aeons ago, when I kneel in the dark

You are the man in my heart
You are my man in the moon

My man in the moon
Man in the moon

In the void the stars implode and fold into themselves
drawing everything into the dark
I can feel my molecules vibrate and come apart
and a lifetime spilling from my heart

Kneeling on my pillow at the bedroom window
I still gaze at the moon, through my Dad’s old binoculars
I bring him into the room
It’s my way of remembering when I was in your arms
I was in your arms,
gazing up at the moon
The moon

Not for Pussies image

Not for Pussies Perth, UK

Not for Pussies came into being in 2008, although Brian and Janette Kidd have been together - and playing music together (and with others) for much, much longer.
We felt we're into an era in our lives where Bette Davis' quote about getting older (it's "not for pussies") felt very apt - and our music reflects this - and the experience of having lived a little! ... ... more
