Today Waldo Witt shares a new single, “Moonlighter,” following the recently released “Perfect Holiday.” Witt is currently based in LA, by way of Chapel Hill, NC and Austin, TX.
About The Song:
Sonically landing somewhere between Martin Denny, ELO and Mild High Club, Waldo Witt’s new single tells the tale of a man caught between two worlds: by day, living a boring 9-to-5 existence, but at night, venturing into a world full of mystery and excitement, assuming the persona of the “Moonlighter.” A modern day “Dreamweaver” the track is timed with the Strawberry full moon + follows a standing-room-only residency at Gold Diggers.
Bio
Waldo Witt’s musical evolution is as expansive as the geography he’s covered. His 2019 debut EP, Randall, introduced listeners to his dreamy bedroom pop sensibilities, followed by the introspective Inner Paths. But it was his 2022 full-length album, Long Daze, Dark Nights, that marked a significant shift. Trading electronic beats for lush, phased-out guitar riffs and ethereal vocal harmonies, Waldo drew comparisons to the early works of King Crimson and the harmony-rich records of Friends-era Beach Boys. ’

Lyrics:
You wake up at noon
She’s gone already
Scroll through your phone
Pour day old coffee
Plug in your laptop
Check your receipts
See if your numbers
Are red or green
Each day that passes by
You’ve got a little less than before
Waiting for something more
You could be walking through that golden door
Moonlighter
You’re on the list they’ll let you right in
Moonlighter
While the world sleeps you’ll be high flying
Cause don’t you know there’s a full moon rising
You think to yourself
This tired routine
There’s somebody there, but it isn’t me
You’re somewhere else that you’d rather be
Your favorite spot, that lucky machine
And late at night, you lay in bed
The constellations over your head
Jupiter, Saturn, and Capricorn
Moonlighter
You’re on the list they’ll let you right in
Moonlighter
While the world sleeps you’ll be high flying
Cause don’t you know there’s a full moon rising
