Claude Debussy’s Clair de Lune (French for "Moonlight") is one of the most beloved and recognizable pieces in the classical piano repertoire. Composed as the third movement of his Suite Bergamasque, it was completed in 1890 and later revised before its publication in 1905.

This impressionistic masterpiece is known for its delicate, flowing melodies and rich harmonic textures, evoking the serene beauty of a moonlit night. The piece begins with a soft, almost whisper-like entrance, gradually unfolding into a lyrical, expressive theme that shimmers with emotional depth. Its gentle arpeggios and dreamlike phrasing create a sense of weightlessness, as if floating in a tranquil nocturnal landscape.

Clair de Lune is often associated with introspection, romance, and a quiet sense of wonder. Its timeless appeal has led to its inclusion in countless films, TV shows, and cultural moments, making it a universal symbol of beauty and nostalgia. Whether listened to for relaxation, inspiration, or sheer admiration of Debussy’s artistry, this piece remains an enduring testament to the power of impressionist music.

here's the original: https://soundcloud.com/elijahwho/weusedtotalkeverynight

& here are the lyrics!:
i didn’t think that it would come to this
i don’t rap so don’t go making deep analysis
of the situation
i wasn’t wishin
that i would go back into you

so tell me boy
are you there
do you enjoy

making me feel like a fool

we were all good
then you stopped
and i stood

and i lost you forever

we used to talk every night
ooh oh oh
we used to talk every night

so now my mind is full
of thoughts of me and you
what could’ve been, a life that’s good, but wasn’t meant for the two

of us…

i can see you by my side
so let me just say that i like you 

but we don’t talk anymore no,
we don’t talk anymore

we don’t talk anymore no,
we don’t talk anymore

but tell me boy
if by chance
i annoy

cause i’m head over heels for you

it breaks my heart
that we are
far apart

but it couldn’t matter less to you

we used to talk every night
ooh oh oh
we used to talk every night.

we used to talk every night (prod. elijah who)

We flow with the currents of the wind
Riding on the trails of angels
Descending to out stretched arms
Hoping
Yearning
For a connection
And so it begins
The ascent
Recovery
Majesty in action
Peace centered fulfillment 
We beget all
We receive our gift
Of one
For all
To know

It's been too long since I fired up the DAW. Time to make a nice diaphanous demo to throw away.

Pay attention to the experimental audio plug-in adding saturation/distortion to the pads. It's not DSP!
