Cottage Scenes

All instruments played by Rick Moon

I found you in the evening
Heard you call my name
"Yo", they'd shout, "what you need? Boy?"
I guess times are “hard"

All the bums on a mission
By the railroad tracks
“Pale man, stay in your car, please.
Don't walk by The Swamp"

Overtown, don't tip me over
Overtown, don't tell me it's over
I see where you're hiding
I see where you're spreading the snow

Jumpout right by the corner
Batman versus Nine
Cuban Caps in a Green Bag
Run with paranoia

Overtown, don't take me over
Overtown, I tell you, it's over
I see what you're doing
I might be a fool but at least I am not like you
You act like you care but I know you don't

Wear your frown, it's Overtown
you'll fall down if you're going to Overtown.

Overtown

YOU DON'T BELONG HERE
(R. Moon)

Living in a strange dream
Where everyone around is pushing you
So you fix yourself a nice drink
Cause nothing in the world can help you to see

You're stuck in a lie
Get out and shine, baby
Cause the beautiful people don't belong here
No, you don't belong here

Get out and run far away
So put the bottle down, girl
I know you want to hurt yourself
But we need to learn to love again
Cause nothing else will heal your soul

You're stuck in a lie
Get out and shine, baby
Cause the beautiful people don't belong here

Don't know what you wanna do but I'm gonna ride the boat

You Don't Belong Here

It's You
(I. Besarez, R. Moon)
I'm starting to believe there's nothing left here anymore
And you are nowhere near and I can feel the sorrow grow
I feel I can't explain
How can I make you see it's you?
Woman that stills my mind She's the woman that scares me blind
 But listen, woman, I can't deny the pain 
You left and brought the rain
The day is lost in fear and I can't get this on my own 
This turbid atmosphere has got me cold and all alone
Woman that stills my mind 
She's the woman that scares me blind 
But listen, woman, I can't deny the pain 
You left and brought the rain
Oh girl, it's you.

It's You

The Moment Breaks
(T. Cohen, R. Moon)
Catch your breath and rest that weary mind,
 It's more than you can take
 Running, crying, you're dreaming and you're blind 
Just wondering when you'll break...
And then your brain's ablaze,
 You don't know what you're fighting for, no more. 
Mind your tongue 'cause maybe this is not worth dying for...

Hear that voice and lose all of your senses, 
Your memories come late.
 Lost amidst a web of warm pretenses 
You're drowning with this weight

And then the moment breaks
 You don't know what you're fighting for, no more.
 Mind your tongue 'cause maybe this is not worth dying for...

She doesn't want to leave 
and you can see that by the way that she lingers
 And if I lose my mind, 
She'll come down knocking on the bathroom window
 Hey, can't you see? You don't let me breathe!

And then the moment breaks
 You don't know what you're fighting for, no more. 
So go ahead and take a seat cause maybe this is not worth dying for.


Moment Breaks

BROKEN BUBBLE
(R. Moon)

I just want to cling on to something
A feeling or some type of idea
Can't help but cling on to something
It's the only way I know how to live in this broken bubble
Where all we do is search for home
Broken bubble

Broken Bubble

WISH I KNEW
(R. Moon/T. Cohen)

Some of them will stick around
Some will come and some will go
though I can't say why
Yes, I know, I tend to oversee
Well, you know to the degree
That I wish I knew

Everything about you
I don't want to be afraid anymore
Dreading the moment you would turn

And slip away,
leaving me to walk in circles
while I wonder why you went
and it makes no sense
you were never sure, and those
doubts drew us apart, so I guess I'll say goodbye
Oh, I wish I knew

Everything about you
I don't want to be afraid anymore
Dreading the moment you would leave and run away...

Wish I Knew

Born and raised in Ponce, Puerto Rico, Rick Moon is a producer/singer/songwriter living and working in Miami, Florida.  He has been writing and producing songs since he was 12 years old.  After various bands in PR and a brief stint in college studying classical music, Rick Moon moved to Miami to pursue an education in Audio Production. On June 7, 2012, Rick Moon released the poppy feel-good debut album, Tired Of Sleeping. Tired Of Sleeping received positive feedback from audiences in NY, LA, Miami and Puerto Rico and its title-song, Tired Of Sleeping, was placed in regular rotation on Puerto Rican radio.

Moon released a second album in September 2015 called Cottage Scenes and began performing with a new band in Miami, FL. After beginning to perform with other artists and taking on several projects as producer, Moon released his third album, Electric Lunch. This album showcases a significant sonic expansion from his previously more subdued and folksy, Cottage Scenes. The self-produced concept album with big power-pop hooks points to Rick’s lifelong love of XTC, Todd Rundgren, Mersey Beat, and classic British rock at large.

Rick Moon followed Electric Lunch with a single called, Faulty Design, which set Moon on a new path of dreamy synth-pop. He's currently recording his next album TIDES which will be released this Summer.
