LeNor Barry is a lovely addition to the contemporary singer-songwriter folk revival. Her voice is low, clear, and dark, and she sings tenderly to an orange moon hanging in the sky with a sort of nonsensical, enigmatic poeticism that leaves you wanting just a little bit more. For years, I've been loudly vocalizing my curiosity about why approximately 95% of all new songs still follow basic rhyme schemes, when it's been over 150 years since sophisticated poetry began breaking out of such restrictions (Walt Whitman's "Leaves of Grass" was published in 1855). I'm sure there are some arguments to be made about the differences between music and poetry, but I'm still surprised just how rare it is to see anyone try anything (anything!) else. I, for one, greatly appreciate Barry doing no such thing in "Orange Moon," which suggests that her words were written with an extremely careful loyalty to her song's deeper meaning (obviously no www.rhymezone.com used for this singer-songwriter). Underneath the poem is her technically precise guitar that shifts meter along with her voice. All in all, a very nice song for a hip, café type atmosphere. Orange moon, what’s your angle? Oh I heard a rumor you escaped the sun. Orange moon, is it really true? Down here they say you’re in charge of the tide. I can hardly see you Through the misty gaze Oh but orange moon, about your mood tonight? Oh I never seen that before. I wanna sit with you all night. But just like you I can’t escape the light. I feel like I left him at the side of the road Just like something you take away. Orange moon, what’s your angle? Oh I heard a rumor you escaped the sun.
