"Under A Masonic Moon" is a genre-bending space shanty that blurs the line between 'real' life and allegory, using music as a vessel to explore the unexplored. The lyrics unfold like a cryptic confession, weaving together distorted radio transmissions, cinematic references, and cryptic whispers of hidden truth. At its core, the song posits that Stanley Kubrick, the visionary director, orchestrated the Apollo moon landing’s infamous deception—his meticulous eye for detail transforming a barren soundstage into the greatest masquerade in human history - to prevent war.

The verses dance between speculation and certainty, suggesting that Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey was a rehearsal, a technological proof of concept for NASA.

Lush orchestration and swirling FX give way to a creeping sense of unease, as the chorus repeats: "Where symbols dance and plans advance." The bridge, steeped in psychedelic dissonance, embodies Kubrick’s supposed torment—an artist trapped in a cosmic lie too grand to escape.

Yet, the song isn’t just about the speculation; it is about the power of music to describe the indescribable. Through layered harmonies and eerie, otherworldly synths, it transforms skepticism into melody, paranoia into rhythm. The very act of writing a song about a faked moon landing becomes an exercise in creative license, demonstrating how artistic expression can manufacture reality as convincingly as a Hollywood set.

In its final notes, "Under A Masonic Moon" is a meditation on the power of music to conjure the impossible. Just as a film can fabricate reality, a song too can blur truth and myth, proving that a melody can be as persuasive as a photograph, and a lyric as deceptive as a doctored reel of film.

In the end, the music fades, leaving only a question. How phat does this sound on a big rig?

M.RUX takes the spacey folk original and expands the premise creating lush tropical terraformations illuminating the dark side of the moon. With sophisticated rhythms and lo-fi pad-stabs this inventive version induces both the familiar and the strange. A perfect take on the supposed landing itself.
