Fake It

LYRICS
No need to worry, we won’t fade
History proved our existence and here
You are shining in your own way
We’ll fight back
No need to worry, no need to break
You’ll be alright here, you'll be made
Into the image you’ve always chased
In the mirror
 
For the longest time
You’ve been locked up in a way
You go for air outside
But that’s where you feel unsafe
 
Your voice is amplified, amplified
Carried by a whole crowd, a whole crowd
Your voice is amplified, amplified
Carried by a whole crowd, a whole crowd
 
No need to worry, we won’t fade
History proved our existence and here
You are shining in your own way
We’ll fight back
No need to worry, no need to break
You’ll be alright here, you'll be made
Into the image you’ve always chased
In the mirror
 
For the longest time
You’ve been locked up in a way
You go for air outside
But that’s where you feel unsafe
 
You lie to your mother
You lie to your father every day
Bad times with your lover
Can’t hold hands in a public space
You hate your president
Who tries to take your rights away
You live in a country
Spreading messages of hate
 
No need to worry, no need to break
You’ll be alright here, you'll be made
Into the image you’ve always chased
In the mirror
No need to worry, we won’t fade
History proved our existence and here
You are shining in your own way
We’ll fight back
 
The only way
Is to believe we’re all the same
Deserving of respect
Deserving of love

Julian Moon proves herself to be a formidable raconteur on the wittily insightful story-songs she has written for her upcoming debut album. Whether she’s capping off a tale of her dire financial circumstances by wryly proclaiming, “I know my life fuckin’ rocks” on “One Penny,” or channeling an overworked barista dealing with an impatient customer waiting for her “non-fat one-pump latte with two added shots of espresso” in “A Cup of Coffee,” or calling out a thoughtless serial heart-breaker in denial on “How To Break A Heart,” Moon delivers her keen observations with a genuine vulnerability that makes her work appealingly relatable.

“Pop music is awesome and I love it, but I’m not sure it’s always very relatable to an ordinary person,” says Moon, who was raised in Salt Lake City, Utah, and has resided in Los Angeles on and off for the past six years. “I can't afford Louis Vuitton. I don't go to the club and drink Patrón. I wanted my songs to come from this place of, ‘Okay, I get up, I work. I've gone to college, I'm still broke.’ I think that's something a lot of people my age deal with. We’re trying to figure out this life. I wanted to be a voice out there saying, ‘It's not just you who’s struggling.’”

Moon’s sly commentary goes down sweet thanks to her intimate vocals (think a young Suzanne Vega) and bright acoustic-pop sound, with production by Greg Wells (Adele, Katy Perry). Moon was raised by musically inclined parents who loved singer-songwriters like Fiona Apple, Patti Griffin, Tori Amos, and Sarah McLachlan. At 16, Moon asked her dad to show her a few guitar chords then locked herself in her room for months. “I learned how to play by teaching myself Jason Mraz songs,” she says. While studying screenwriting at L.A.’s Loyola Marymount University, Moon began attending open mic nights on campus, realizing that performing enabled her to connect with people more easily. She was offered a publishing deal as a sophomore and planned to be a “hippie songwriter chick in Portland” before Warner Bros. Records came calling with a recording contract and the opportunity to send her into the studio with Wells.

“There is such a magic when it’s just a voice and guitar,” Moon admits, “but I didn't want to have this opportunity to make this record and then have it be something I could have done in a basement somewhere,” she says. “I wanted it to be the best it could be.”
