November Full Moon - 2025

It was a Supermoon, and was full November 5th; fullest at 8:19 a.m.  Chill in the air.

The full moon was bright and high in the city sky as we were coming home that night from Koerner Hall. The evening was filled with acoustic strings and beautiful harmonies. I'm With Her and Ye Vagabonds took the stage.

I think my favourite tune of the night was Ye Vegabonds' 'Blue is the Eye,' 

There is also a Ye Vagabonds song that mentions the moon repeatedly in its lyrics is "When We Were Trees" The lyrics include the lines:"And the moon will wax and wane. It will soon come around again". In this world of Spotify and YouTube, I can find it on neither as of yet, but I can listen in my mind's ear:

When We Were Trees

[Verse 1]

When we were trees in another life

Our roots touching, our branches entwined

We were dancing in the breeze

And the sun shone on our leaves

[Verse 2]

When we had wings tunneling through clouds

Our hearts will full, and our voices were loud

We were balanced on the air

And we sailed without a care

[Verse 3]

The ground was green, and the sun was young

I was the Earth, you were the falling rain

We will soon be passing on

We will soon return again

[Verse 4]

I will be the charge, and you will be the wire

The bold red rose and the shining briar

And the moon will wax and wane

It will soon come around again
