1) A pseudonym of Simon Gregory, a Milton Keynes, UK trance producer, who has been producing as a hobby for over ten years. His début album was "Targus" (Jul 2010, Camouflage), other recent releases have included singles "Sky" (Oct 2010, Mondo) and "Stardust" (May 2011, Mondo).
After becoming more serious about producing and having taken inspiration from a number of his favourite artists, Simon invested a lot more time and money into his home studio in an effort to push his music out to the record labels, his dream to release music through a record label. After getting to grips with his new studio equipment, and having written a couple of tracks he was happy with, he sent demos of his work to Bonzai music. The response was positive, and he then entered into a deal with Bonzai to release his first track to the masses, entitled Genesis. Since signing, he has produced a few more tracks also picked up by Bonzai, and also remixed a couple of well established artists on their rosters. He hopes this is the beginning of a long standing future in the music industry and looks forward to seeing how things will shape up.

Crimson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dancing in the shallows of a river
Lonely moonchild
Dreaming in the shadow
Of the willow
Talking to the trees of the
Cobweb strange
Weaving silver wands to the
Night bird's song
Waiting for the sun on the mountain
She's a moonchild
Gathering the flowers in a garden
Lovely moonchild
Drifting on the echoes of the hours
Sailing on the wind
In a milk white gown
Dropping circle stones on a sun dial
Playing hide and seek
With the ghosts of dawn
Waiting for a smile from a sun child
The song “Moonchild” by Crimson is a poetic and ethereal tune that is full of symbolism and metaphor, which can be interpreted in various ways. The lyrics talk about a lonely and dreamy moonchild, who is dancing in the shallows of a river, and weaving silver wands to the night bird's song while waiting for the sun on the mountain. The moonchild is portrayed as someone who is deeply connected with nature and the universe, as she talks to the trees of the cobweb strange and sleeps on the steps of a fountain.
The Moonchild can also be seen as a symbol of femininity and mysticism. She is described as wearing a milk white gown and gathering flowers in a garden, which are classic symbols of femininity. She is also seen dropping circle stones on a sun dial, which is a representation of time and cyclical patterns of life. The moonchild seems to be seeking something or waiting for someone, as she is playing hide and seek with the ghosts of dawn and waiting for a smile from a sun child.
Overall, “Moonchild” is a beautiful and lyrical song that invites interpretation and reflection. The moonchild's connection to nature and the universe, as well as her mysticism and femininity, are some of the themes that emerge from the lyrics.

Moonchild
[Part I: “The Dream”]
Call her moonchild
Dancing in the shallows of a river
Lonely moonchild
Dreaming in the shadows of a willow
Talking to the trees of the cobweb strange
Sleeping on the steps of a fountain
Waving silver wands to the night-bird’s song
Waiting for the sun on the mountain
She’s a moonchild
Gathering the flowers in a garden
Lovely moonchild
Drifting in the echoes of the hours
Sailing on the wind in a milk white gown
Dropping circle stones on a sun dial
Playing hide and seek with the ghosts of dawn
Waiting for a smile from a sun child

Llámala hija de la luna
Call her moonchild
Bailando en las aguas poco profundas de un río
Dancing in the shallows of a river
Hijo de la luna solitario
Lonely moonchild
Soñando en las sombras del sauce
Dreaming in the shadows of the willow
Hablando con los árboles de la telaraña extraño
Talking to the trees of the cobweb strange
Durmiendo en los escalones de una fuente
Sleeping on the steps of a fountain
Agitando varitas plateadas al canto de los pájaros nocturnos
Waving silver wands to the night birds song
Esperando el sol en la montaña
Waiting for the sun on the mountain
ella es una hija de la luna
She's a moonchild
Recogiendo las flores en un jardín.
Gathering the flowers in a garden
precioso hijo de la luna
Lovely moonchild
A la deriva en los ecos de las horas
Drifting on the echoes of the hours
Navegando en el viento con un vestido blanco como la leche
Sailing on the wind in a milk white gown
Dejar caer piedras circulares en un reloj de sol
Dropping circle stones on a sun dial
Jugando al escondite con los fantasmas del amanecer
Playing hide and seek with the ghosts of dawn
Esperando una sonrisa de un niño sol
Waiting for a smile from a sun child

I’ll forget this pretentious nonsense by tomorrow. King Crimson is waaaaay in the back of my prog rock taste. If they even register at all.
@Marova
@Lifespan of a Fry dude why you even bother to comment then? I'd get this kind of comment with some of the commercial, social networking, influencer shit thats going on every where nowadays, but from a 1969 album?? And on a full of good vibes comment?? Lame. You are heading in the wrong direction person on the internet who I could care less of a shit, but let me tell you something: You are the one being pretentious and forgettable this time...
Saludos!
