Music Appreciation
Canadian singer-songwriter Leslie Feist released My Moon My Man as the lead single from her 2007 album The Reminder. The song was recorded during the album's sessions in France and marked a defining moment in Feist's career, showcasing her unique blend of indie pop and folk influences. The Reminder was widely acclaimed, earning multiple award nominations and solidifying Feist’s status as a major artist beyond her previous work with Broken Social Scene.
Lyrically, My Moon My Man is a poetic and introspective song that explores the complexities of relationships. The lyrics use the imagery of the moon to symbolize a lover—unpredictable, distant at times, yet an undeniable presence.
Feist’s gentle yet emotive vocals bring a sense of longing and uncertainty, underscored by the song’s rhythmic, pulsating piano and subtle electronic beats. The track balances a melancholic mood with an infectious groove, making it both intimate and danceable.
The music video for My Moon My Man was directed by Patrick Daughters, and was filmed at Toronto Pearson International Airport. The video features Feist moving along a moving walkway, engaging in fluid, dreamlike choreography with passing travelers.
The dim lighting and reflective surfaces create a hypnotic, almost surreal atmosphere, enhancing the song’s themes of movement and emotional push-and-pull. The video’s simple yet visually striking concept perfectly complements the song’s understated but deeply felt emotions.
