Moore's private life has been much-discussed in the media, including her previous relationships to actors Wilmer Valderrama and Zach Braff, and tennis player Andy Roddick. Moore is scheduled to appear in several films over the course of 2006 and 2007. Briefly, her music career was on hold, having parted ways with her record company.
Moore stated in early 2006 that she missed her music career and that singing is what she is the "most passionate about". According to her official website, she is collaborating with artists including Chantal Kreviazuk, Michelle Branch, and Rachael Yamagata on a new album. Moore had signed to Epic Records after her contract with Sire Records ended, but left the company in May 2006. She reportedly signed with a new EMI Music-owned record company, The Firm, in July of that year. Moore had described her new contract as "especially exciting" and specified that she planned to release her next album in 2007.
The album, entitled "Wild Hope" was co-written by Mandy. It was recently released on June 19, 2007. A change of pace from her usually dance-pop sound, Mandy's new album features a more folk sound, and is a refreshing change.
Since the release of Moore's 2007 album, she has been performing in smaller venues than her early audiences are used to but is still making a huge wave in the music industry. Mandy Moore won't let us forget her quite yet. Moore's sixth studio album, Amanda Leigh, was released on May 26, 2009. As a follow-up over a decade later, through delays due to struggles with record companies and personal relationships as well as her success in acting on NBC series, This is Us, Moore finally put out her seventh studio album, Silver Landings, via Verve Forecast Records on March 6, 2020. All songs were co-written by Dawes lead-singer, Taylor Goldsmith, and producer, Mike Viola, with a few tracks including co-writers like Lori McKenna and Natalie Hemby (of The Highwomen).
Mandy Moore completed a residency of 4 nights at Los Angeles club, The Bootleg!, where she played with musical guests like Dan Wilson and aforementioned Natalie Hemby. Moore will tour the U.S. spring of 2020.
I See the Light
Mandy Moore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All those years outside looking in
All that time never even knowing
Just how blind I've been
Now I'm here, blinking in the starlight
Now I'm here, suddenly I see
Standing here, it's all so clear
I'm where I'm meant to be
And at last I see the light
And it's like the fog has lifted
And at last I see the light
And it's like the sky is new
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once everything looks different
Now that I see you
All those days chasing down a daydream
All those years living in a blur
All that time, never truly seeing
Things the way they were
Now she's here, shining in the starlight
Now she's here, suddenly I know
If she's here, it's crystal clear
I'm where I'm meant to go
And at last I see the light
And it's like the fog has lifted
And at last I see the light
And it's like the sky is new
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once, everything is different
Now that I see you
Now that I see you
, the lyrics speak about a realization that the singer has had about their past experiences. They describe spending years living in a blur, never able to truly see things the way they were. The singer then acknowledges that they had been blind all along, and that they now understand where they are meant to be. The songwriters use a contrast between light and darkness, fog and clear skies, to emphasize the shift that the singer is feeling.
As the singer experiences this moment of awakening, their perspective on the world is forever changed. The once blurry past becomes clear, and everything looks different now that they see their companion, represented by the pronoun “she.” The final lines suggest that the companionship brings meaning to the singer's life and gives them a direction towards their future.
