About The Song
“Harvest Moon” is a song written by Neil Young and released as the first single from his 1992 album “Harvest Moon”. The song uses a moon motif, which Young has mentioned as being very important to him and having quasi-religious undertones. The song reached No. 36 on the UK Singles Chart. The album “Harvest Moon” is the 19th studio album by Canadian musician Neil Young, released on November 2, 1992. Many of its backing musicians also appeared on Young’s 1972 album “Harvest”.
The lyrics of the song depict two people in love under the light of a harvest moon and dancing to the music of the night. The chorus of the song expresses the singer’s feeling that he is still deeply in love with the person he is singing to, and he wants to see them dance and be together in that moment.
