Nervous Saturday (free) 03:18

Clockwise Revolution (free) 03:51
When my eyes are cloudy and strained and my day is worried away, it's time to let myself unwind and give things a little, give them a little time. Because every time I feel it go away is every time it comes back to me. Maybe things will be ok. Maybe this time, just like last time. It's something about the way things work out. There's something about the way things work out. There's something about the way things work out that keeps me centered. Because every time things come to me, is every time they go away. Then if my feelings are numb. Just give things a little, give them a little time.

Star Booty (free) 04:34
Be who you are. Reach for the stars but never lose yourself in outer space. Ever since the great explosion when we lost all of our oceans, the earth is one big ghetto and death is our daily quid-pro-quo. Be who you are. Reach for the stars. Heading to outpost 7 mars riding plutonium-hybrid cars. There's something freeing to being outlawed in this lonely space with no one but God. Reach for the stars. Reach for the stars.

Hey, shame on you. What do you want from me. What do you want to see me do. Well maybe I can't be everything you want me to be.

Fuck Up (free) 04:38

Feeling like I don't know what to do. Wondering how I'll ever make it through. Hoping that you'll make it home alright. What a fool I've been but I can finally see the light. Whenever you needed me I was there for you. If ever you called me I was near to you. Before long baby you'll crawl back to me when finally you realize that I'm all you need. Hey, no way, you can't pull that to me. Half undressed, coming back home at 3. Hey, no way, you won't do that to me. Not Friday, not Saturday or Sunday. All that you have done has been a lie. That's the last time that you will ever make me cry. Oh I see, that you're working late tonight. What do you take me for? That's the same excuse that you tried to use last night. Whenever you needed me I was there for you. If ever you called me I was near to you. Whoever you're seeing I hope she's there for you. When you're locked out and don't know what to do. Hey, no way, you can't pull that to me. Half undressed, coming back home at 3. Hey, no way, you won't do that to me. Not today or any day of the week. Whenever you needed me I was there for you. If ever you called me I was near to you. Before long baby you'll crawl back to me when finally you realize that I'm all you need. Hey, no way, you can't pull that to me. Half undressed, coming back home at 3. Hey, no way, you won't do that to me. Not Friday, not Saturday or Sunday. Hey, no way, you won't do that to me. Not today or any day of the week.

Keep it fair for everyone inside of here. We'll keep it fair, we'll keep it fair. And should we dare to understand those whom we fear, we'll keep it fair, we'll keep it fair. My only fear should be that I would never dare experience life while I'm here. Someone I know gave me the strength to see the whole. That's how I grow, that's how I grow.

Bad Side of the Moon (free) 03:45
On this side of the moon I walk in a constant state of dark. I've got to do better than this. I've got to do better than this. If there's one thing I've learned it's keep your head down and you won't get burned. You can only get by out here. Yes I've got to get out of here. It seems as though I've lived my life on the bad side of the moon, just… Walking around with my eyes closed, stumbling in holes and kicking stones with my thoughts on the other side. On the better side of the moon. Gaining character's a balancing act and it's pretty hard to keep in tact when you're trying for the other side. The better side of the moon. It seems as though I've lived my life on the bad side of the moon, just… Make mistakes but always learn new things that will keep me firm on a track to a better side, a better side of the moon. It ain't easy to dig Moon gold and stay warm despite the cold but I've gotta do better than this. I know I can do better than this. It seems as though I've lived my life on the bad side of the moon, just…

Over Under (free) 04:46
If you don't know it's ok, but it's not my fault if it's over. It's over. I've been trying to remember. Something went wrong. It's over. It's over. We're over. I hate this, it's over. I hate this, it's over. If you don't mind, it's ok. It's no one's fault it's over. It's over. Haven't seen your face for so long. What went wrong. It's over. It's too bad it's over. It's too bad it's over. I hate this, it's over. I hate this, it's over. You might be right but that's ok. It's not your fault it's over. I'm so glad it's over.

All I Got is this Song (free) 04:14
Oh I know a woman so sweat that when she smiles it knocks me off my feet. Big blue eyes oh so clear that I'm left standing alone grinning from ear to ear. Oh baby why don't you love me. Oh baby why don't you love me. Oh baby why don't you love me. Oh baby why don't you love me. I want to make her, make her cry just so I can kiss her tears goodbye. Sometimes she says let's be best friends though I know she's got way too many of them. Oh baby why don't you love me. Oh baby why don't you love me. Oh baby why don't you love me. Oh baby why don't you love me. I'm gonna break that girl in half and keep her in my pocket all my life. That way I can take her everywhere and when I need some sunshine she'll be there. Oh baby why don't you love me. Oh baby why don't you love me. Oh baby why don't you love me. Oh baby why don't you love me.

about

"I just listened to the Moongold record 3 times in a row, but I didn’t even realize it. It’s the kind of album your savvy music friends will put on, and you’ll try to catch a glimpse of the artist's name without anyone noticing. Moongold is intellectual chill out music at it's best.

Moongold evokes the best elements of soul/jazz musicians like Reuben Wilson and the downtempo, trip-hop sounds of Bonobo mixed with electronic style of someone like Jon Kennedy. The music is inspired by the intersection of soul, trip-hop and electronic music. There is a collaboration going on here between music styles and music fans; it's hard not to appreciate the respect Moongold has for the sounds and styles that came before them.

The stunningly elegant and clever touches weave the record together flawlessly. Like I said, I listened to it 3 times over without really noticing the time that had gone by. Intellectual chill out music has never been this easy on the ears."
