Regardless of whether this is an accurate portrayal of events, does not matter…Busby Marou are quickly making an impact on the Australian music scene. If you haven’t already heard of them, you can soon expect to be smashed lovingly about your ears with their alt country tunes…

Since recording their debut EP (The Blue Road) with acclaimed producer Anthony Lycenko and legendary singer/songwriter Pete Murray at his home studio in northern NSW in late 2007, the band’s popularity is rising like a perfectly executed soufflé.

In 2008/09 the duo together with their band, supported Pete Murray on his national tour; perform on stage at the 15th Annual Deadly Awards at the Sydney Opera House, Big Sound QMusic Showcase, LiveSpark – Powerhouse and the Woodford Folk Festival 09/10.

2009 also saw the band being awarded nationally, as one of five successful applicants of ‘Breakthrough’ – a federal government initiative supporting emerging indigenous contemporary musicians.

With song writing influences from Crowded House and personal experiences, Thomas has a distinctly Australian way of sharing his stories.

Jeremy, a proud Torres Strait Islander from Murray Island, has rare musical talent. He is fluent on just about every instrument, including ukulele, bass, drums and piano - but it is his natural ability on the guitar that will mesmerise you.

Together, the pair continues to develop a unique and Australian song writing flavour, breathing new life into the Australian music scene.

BusbyMarou's EP "The Blue Road" is out now... The EP can be purchased by emailing: manager@busbymarou.com - which will then be posted out to you.

Dancing On the Moon
Busby Marou Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Throw your eyes in my direction
And I'll make you feel nervous again
And then a smile with good intentions
And so I'll take you there just as I said

I've been stumbling on the sun,
You've been dancing on the moon
I'm gonna be there soon

Have you heard how I'm feeling?
I've never felt this happy, not in days
Late at night, when I'm sleeping
And when I'm thinking of you as always

I've been stumbling on the dirt
You've been skipping through the clouds
I've been stumbling on the sun
You've been dancing on the moon
Im gonna be there soon

I've been stumbling on the sun
You've been dancing on the moon
I've been stumbling on the sun
You've been dancing on the moon
Im gonna be there soon

And now I'm skipping in the dirt,
And skipping through the clouds
I've gotta get there somehow

Take my hand, take me nowhere
There's no place that I'd rather be
then with you oh my
Into my arms you will be

I've been stumbling on the sun
You've been dancing on the moon
I've been stumbling on the sun

You've been dancing on the moon
Im gonna be there soon
