In this podcast episode, Mike McClellan and I get together and collaborate on a song. We use the “track and hook” method, which is an approach to songwriting and production used extensively in pop music. We came up with this catchy dance pop tune called “Man on the Moon.”

Lyrics:
Feels like we got lightyears
Between you and me
From my lonely corner
Working up my nerve
Do I dare
Do I make a move and come on over
Do you see me
Am I there in your stars
Am I there in the night
Do you want me
Am I there in your stars
Don’t leave me floating in space
I can’t get through to you
Gravity it keeps me in my place
I’m your man on the moon
Running down the clock
Weigh the cost
Missing out vs missing nothing
Only one way out past of the fear
Past the shaking hands and past the blushing
Do you know me?
I can see how you glow
Like the earth on the rise
Do you want me?
Am I somewhere in your skies
Do you see me
Am I there in your stars
Am I there in the night
Do you want me
Am I there in your stars
Don’t leave me floating in space
I can’t get through to you
Gravity it keeps me in my place
I’m your man on the moon
