Dancing in the Moonlight
R.A.M Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We get it on most every night
When that moon is big and bright
It's a supernatural delight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

Everybody here is out of sight
They don't bark and they don't bite
They keep things loose
They keep it tight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

Dancing in the moonlight
Everybody's feeling warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

We like our fun and we never fight
You can't dance and stay uptight
It's a supernatural delight
Everybody was dancing in the moonlight

Dancing in the moonlight
Everybody's feeling warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

Don't you know we just dancing in the moonlight
Everybody's feeling warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

Dancing in the moonlight
Everybody's feeling warm and bright
Such a fine and natural sight
Dancing in the moonlight

Dancing in the moonlight
Everybody's feeling warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

Jennie let me love you, oh oh

Everybody's dancing in the moonlight
Such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancing
Everybody's dancing
La la la la la la




Do do do do
Dancing in the moonlight

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to R.A.M.'s (Reaching After Midnight) Dancing in the Moonlight describe a euphoric sensation experienced by the singer and the people around him when they come together to dance during the lovely backdrop of the full moon. The first two lines make it clear that this event happens regularly, and since they 'get it on most every night,' it's evident that they're having an enjoyable time. The phrase 'supernatural delight' in the third line infers a mystical element, which is common in many folktales and legends that revolve around the moon with emphasis on the magical influence it exerts on people.


The second stanza of the song emphasizes the notion of people coming together in a harmonious state, forgetting all their differences and indulging in the shared joy of dancing, and how that collective state further relaxes everyone. The last stanza emphasizes everyone's bond over the dance rather than their social status, wealth, or cultural background, making the experience even more satisfying. R.A.M has done an excellent job of creating a sense of community centered on the concept of celebration, which is understandable when you consider the track's upbeat tempo and jubilant melodies.
