"then he turned to me...he saw his reflection in me." ITS AN HONOR IT IS TO BE AN ORANGE MOON 🧡 🌑

My mother passed in 2005, and when this album dropped and I heard THIS song, it spoke to my entire soul. My mother was SOOOO VERY PROUD of me, and she would just BEAM with joy every single time she saw me. To me, my mother was/is MY Orange moon, and to this very day, even in death, she's reflecting the light of her "SON." I've NEVER known a love like that, until my daughter was born. . . . Mom, I hope I'm still making you. proud.

Shes shining down on you right now desmondshw and she is proud

James Light Bass Player 2021

Erykah is a beautiful woman spiritually,musically, and intellectually and this track is more proof of that.The arrangement and layering of the acoustic bass,piano,and backup vocal harmony on this track is interesting and very spacious.Hopefully everyone will support her by buying her music and attending her shows because more people should listen to her .I've been listening to her since Baduizm dropped and she's always working on something new that's creative and different musically.

Ayanna Johnson

glxr955

from a personal experience of love this song speaks to the unifying principle that brought the sun, earth and moon together the pure spirituality that has no time, place, culture or race that is now as we speak forging new universes and life forms in the cold, black, emptiness of outer space how amazing to have experienced this spirituality in your lifetime and how good it is of this artist to share her love with her fans.

You are the moon, reflecting who you surround yourself by, or you can only be what people let you be. If you are an orange moon, you've found a place where your potential is infinite and nurtured.

Vivienne Tobassa

I'm an orange moon
I'm an orange moon
Reflecting the light of the sun
Many nights he was alone
Many, many, many nights
His light was so bright that they turned away
And he stood alone
Every night and every day
Then he turned to me
He saw his reflection in me
And he smiled at me when he turned to me
Then he said to me
How good it is, how good it is
How good it is, how good it is
I'm an orange moon
I'm brighter than before
Brighter than ever before
I'm an orange moon and I shine so bright
'cause I reflect the light of my sun
I praise the day, he turned my way
And smiled at me
He gets to smile and I get to be orange, that I love to be
How good it is, how good it is
How good it is, how good it is
How good it is, how good it is
How good it is, how good it is
Shine so bright
(oh...)
He ruled the day, I ruled the night
(oh...)
Shine, shine, shine
(oh...)
How good it is, how good it is
How good it is, how good it is
How good it is, how good it is
How good he is, how god is
How good it is, how good it is
How good it is, how god is
How good it is, how good it is
I'm an orange moon
I'm brighter than before, brighter
Reflecting the light of the sun
Smile at me

ThiqueChick Jones

Where the hell this song been all my life! She doesnt get enough credit. Probably cause she flies low, and keeps out of mess. Get it Ms. Badu!

Chelle Shakir

This and Green Eyes, omg!

Divine Intent

I knew what you meant @ThiqueChick Jones it’s the same reason why her daughter’s dad Jay Electronica backed away from the public and stays underground😊

Gladena Cole

Nah she is huge. Always sold out. Good shows.

Michele Hagood

We will never know the depth of love for each other as well as his creation until we praise our creator for the the thoughts of his creation as my sister Erykah is doing.

Ryan Badene

she isn't christian and this song makes many references to her spiritual orientation.

MICHELE BYRD

+Soul on ice 82 well said

Michele Hagood

Yess

Soul on ice 82

You can never fully appreciate something if you don't understand its purpose. You cannot understand its purpose if you don't know it's creator. And if you don't understand the purpose of something, you are bound to misuse it; no matter how well your intentions are. While we may find alternative uses for the things/people we experience, we will never experience the full beauty of our world, ourselves or each other without the intimate relationship with THE CREATOR. How good HE is

Mind's Eye Muse

This is the song that made me a Badu fan. Exquisite

Aquilla Lee

always loved this song, but never understood it, until now ...... now that Im reflecting the light from my own SUN.❤

EJ Edwards-El

I am stuck on this song! I keep playing it back to back; the harmony and instrumentals are off the chain! It goes without saying that Erykah is the business; love this song so much, it resonates with my soul!

Susan Reece

This song is so beautiful 💙 got me through so much! Now that I’m a mother of two sons, it means even more to me. I’m their orange moon. And I reflect the light of my sons. They get to smile, and I get to be orange- how I like to be.

I'm an Orange Moon
I'm an Orange Moon
Reflecting the light of the sun

Many nights he was alone
Many, many, many nights
His light was so bright that they turned away
And he stood alone 
Every night and every day
Then he turned to me 
He saw his reflection in me 
And he smiled at me when he turned to me 
Then he said to me

How good it is, how good it is
How good it is, how good it is

I'm an Orange Moon
I'm brighter than before
Brighter than ever before
I'm an Orange Moon and I shine so bright
Cause I reflect the light of my sun
I praise the day, he turned my way 
And smiled at me
He gets to smile and I get to be orange, that I love to be

How good it is, how good it is
How good it is, how good it is
How good it is, how good it is
How good it is, how good it is

(Oh...)
Shine so bright
(Oh...)
He ruled the day, I ruled the night
(Oh...)
Shine, shine, shine
(Oh...)

How good it is, how good it is
How good it is, how good it is
How good it is, how good it is
How good he is, how god is
How good it is, how good it is
How good it is, how god is
How good it is, how good it is

I'm an orange moon 
I'm brighter than before, brighter
Reflecting the light of the sun
Smile at me

Ian Dallier

I'm currently going to school and taking a bunch of history of Jazz/Soul/Blues Classes, Not trying to use that as a brag, just more so to say that I'm spending my days learning about the history of music like this, I've really gotten into people like Duke Ellington, Bootsy Collins, Carole King, and many others, they are a type of artist that have an ability to make their music and art next level magical, my point is that I still think Erykah is the best of the best, I knew that before I had any knowledge of the roots, because her music can speak to anyone and open their mind up, I bet I wouldn't have even go to school for music without hearing Green Eyes, seriously.

P Phillips

Visit new Orleans for Jazz Fest and walk around the city for the music.

DachaWood

This amazing song inspired me to write something about the atmosphere it brings to me....
My old friend
I crave for your soul
I have met you in my mind
Joined you with my heart
Now I'm looking for your body
To rejoin me in this life,
or another
I know you and you know me,
already.

Enyotta Watkins

Until we met again
