Moonlight Breakfast Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm going out of my way
To please you
There ain't nothin' left to say
Just one thing left to do
I wrote some pretty words
Made up a pretty tune
Now you got to show me
What it is that you can do
So come on

Uh, I love singing this tune
I'm so high I could reach the moon
I'm so high I could reach the moon
My body's out of control
Uh, I love singing this tune
I'm so high I could reach the moon
My body's out of control
It acts like it has a mind of its own

Just shout it out loud now
I wanna hear you sing for me, come on
Just shout it out loud now
Shout, shout, shout, shout, come on
Just shout it out loud now
I wanna hear you sing for me, come on
Just shout it out loud now
Shout, shout, shout, shout, come on
Just shout it out loud now
I wanna hear you sing for me, come on
Just shout it out loud now
Shout, shout, shout, shout

Overall Meaning

The opening stanza of the song, "Shout," by Moonlight Breakfast speaks of going out of one's way to please someone. The implication is that the singer has done all that they could to make things right. There is nothing left to say. The only thing remaining to be done is for the other person to reciprocate their efforts. In a display of musical ability, the songwriter mentions coming up with pretty words and writing a pretty tune as their contribution towards winning the other person over. A challenge is issued to the other person to show what they can do to reciprocate the sentiment.


The remainder of the song consists primarily of the hook phrase repeated over and over again. The chorus is all about letting go of one's inhibitions and just shouting it out loud. The assumption is that this will be a cathartic release for the other person. The repeated lyrics of "pretty words" and "pretty tunes" alludes to the notion of beauty in actions, and how the singer has created something beautiful and worth reciprocating. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, in which an explicit invitation is extended to the other person to sing with the singer.


Overall, the song speaks to the theme of love, and the efforts people make to win over the affection of someone else. The song is upbeat and joyous, serving as an easy sing-along tune.

While I was on Bucharest, saw them singing live on a cold friday night (Dec. 11 2015)... It took me some time to find out what was this group name, but after I found it, I told all my friends "check this out, they have some nice music!"
Now they are getting known here in Chile. Hope they can keep the good stuff..

cool stuff, man! Soon I will be in Chile and I hope to hear their music somewhere :)

Mai pot spune ca avem si noi romani care scot muzica buna. Nu tot rahatu ce se mediatizeaza pe la noi. Un fan vechi de-al vostru, va stiu de ceva vreme. La fel de buni ati ramas. Tineti-o tot asa!
