Daniel Lerner – Harvest the Moon (2022)
Giving someone the space they need doesn’t mean that you care for them any less or that you are not offering support. These moments have been picked up by Daniel Lerner and turned into his folk single ‘Harvest the Moon’. Through the track, he lets someone know that he is still there for them in a subtle way, while giving them the time they need to sort through their emotions.

‘Harvest the Moon’ has a soft and floating feeling from the first moment. The acoustic guitar-driven melody settles something in your soul, leaving you feeling relaxed and lighter. While there is a touch of something melancholic in the melody, it is tempered by a delicate support that has been sprinkled over the top of the music. While the guitar fills the main line of the melody, there is a light twinkle above it that adds an extra softness to the soundscape. As you listen to the melody, you are pulled into a rather vulnerable moment that is brought to further light by the vocals.
