A singer/songwriter and one half of the duo Pomplamoose, Nataly Dawn has a special power for interlaying intricate lyrical ideas against a backdrop of delicate, tender melodies and mesmerizing vocal tone.
In this episode of Positive Vibes Only, Dawn shows off all of those talents in a performance of her "Over the Moon." Immerse yourself in the luminous world of a song that grapples with fear that a relationship will change — but ultimately learns to let go and move into uncharted new territory.
The acoustic performance isn't too far from how the song was recorded in the studio. Dawn explained to Ditty TV that she and her bandmates kept things simple for the studio version of the song, including only slide guitar, acoustic guitar and vibraphone.
She also explained that the song speaks to a chapter of her relationship with her husband — and Pomplamoose collaborator — Jack Conte. "For me, the song is about feeling like you've lost something precious that you didn't fully appreciate until it was gone," Dawn said.
"My relationship with Jack has gone through so many wonderful and difficult phases. And every time we move from one chapter to the next it's difficult to let go," she continued. "So this is a song about being stuck. About not wanting to let go of a time in life that was precious."
"Over the Moon" is one of 13 tracks on Dawn's new solo album, Gardenview, which she released in June 2022.
