On March 22nd, 2022 New Jersey singer-songwriter Keith Monacchio will release his 5th solo record, Under a Nightlight Sky. This ten-song set explores themes of family, fatherhood, political tribalism, aging and a hope for a better future in these very uncertain times.  Under a Nightlight Sky is the most contemplative and concise songwriting that Keith has ever put forth.  Under a Nightlight Sky plays like a roadmap for his child.  A trail of breadcrumbs filled with wisdom, his truth, tales of mistakes made, lessons learned and unlearned. 
Working again with Sean Glonek (Juliana Hatfield, Tanya Donnelly) behind the board, they’ve created a musical landscape where genres and styles can cross paths and meet in the middle of imperfection.  In today’s climate of fear, it would have been easy take the songwriting down a very dark road.  Instead, these ten-songs focus on trying to find positivity, light and faith that the days to come will be better than those of the recent past.  Under a Nightlight Sky, at its core, is a search for solace.

This album is dedicated to the memory of Joe Harvard.  A true artist & friend.

As Far As I Can Tell ( Lucas Moonglow )

When your murdering ways catch up with you and get between you and your amazing girlfriend.  Or what you thought was your amazing girlfriend.

Solo

Never scared of dying

Lyrics:

I know you want to feel good 
Class trips and dips in the ocean
Smile when I hint at the notion 
So do you wanna, don’t you wanna feel good?

Weeks since you walked in the sunshine 
Weeks since you told me you’d be mine
I’d make it all go away if I could 
So do you wanna, don’t you wanna feel good? 

On your marks ready set go 
We can make it there and back again 
Gun shot, running in the moonglow 
Try to catch us if you can

Come jump on a free ride 
Let it fall by the wayside 
No idea where we’re going
So much fun not knowing 

I know I’m gonna feel good 
Day trips and slips in the motion 
Laugh when I faint from the potion 
You know I’m gonna, ya know I’m gonna feel good 

Meet me down at the front door 
Settle up and take a ride uptown 
These nights I kinda need more 
So pick me up again, pick me up again
Cars pass you as stand still 
Time stops but I know that we’re ok 
Get back, I know that we will 
We just deal with things in our own way

On your marks ready set go 
We can make it there and back again 
Gun shot, running in the moonglow 
Try to catch us if you can

Come jump on a free ride 
Let it fall by the wayside 
No idea where we’re going
So much fun not knowing 

Find out what you’re missing 
You speak I will listen 
No idea where we’re going 
So much fun not knowing

I Feel Good!

Feel Good (Status Green)

I hope you like what you hear.  Thank you for your support:)
