The track is from the artist’s upcoming debut EP Memories From Your Polaroids.
Ahead of the release of his debut EP Memories From Your Polaroids, Coby Sultan has released the poignant and instantly affecting new single ‘The Moon Song’, a powerful and nostalgic single that captivates and transfixes you as a listener from the moment that it begins.
The track explores the artist’s relationship and memories that he still has with his ex-girlfriend, showcasing a really bittersweet, poignant and ultimately real look back as he comes to terms with the situation. The result is a track that feels genuinely devastating, packed full of an impossible amount of emotion and heart as the artist bares his soul in heartbreakingly intimate fashion. Everything about ‘The Moon Song’ feels perfectly crafted and put together, from the chord progression to the thoughtful lyrics to Coby’s anguished delivery, I find it hard to recall another track that has felt so hauntingly raw and real, so beautiful and so sad at the same time as the artist looks back on such a huge part of his life with a pensive, bittersweet sense of longing. The words “I would still give you the moon” will cling to you for long after your listen, as you’re immersed within the artist’s thoughts in such a powerful way that it almost makes you feel like you’ve lived through the situation yourself.
“I had been holding on to a really beautiful chord progression for several months, feeling like I had nothing left to say anymore about my relationship with my ex-girlfriend, Margo,” says Coby on the track. “Around May of 2022, I got an unexpected call from her. Time spent reminiscing over past memories and old polaroid photos re-inspired me to write another song for the project. Hearing her voice after such a long time brought up old feelings that made me realize how deeply I cared for this person still. Margo and I used to have this inside joke that she was constantly going through different phases. She would be really into one thing for a brief period, and then suddenly wake up feeling completely different about it. This was incredibly challenging for me, and I always wondered if I was just another phase she was parading through.”
