Hive Open Mic 124 / Moonlight Over Paris Cover
"Moonshine." What a lovely theme this week, chosen by our most recent Spotlight Artist, @anna-newkey. I must admit that I struggled to find fitting music for this week at first, but then remembered one from the late 2000s that I used to love, 'Moonlight Over Paris,' by Paolo Santos, a well-known acoustic singer from the Philippines. I assumed that was his original song initially, but it wasn't. Peter Mayer, a British-born American guitarist, vocalist, composer, touring musician, and recording artist, did. He composed and initially sang this song. Vanessa Williams also covered this song. Three of them, in my opinion, have their own personal touch and sang it wonderfully.
I chose this song Moonlight Over Paris because it reminded me of our life goals and how we want to accomplish them. The moonlight represented the people who had graciously and brilliantly illuminated their paths to help us achieve our goals. Moonlight exists even when there is darkness, just as people in our lives, particularly our dearest friends and families who remain to shine our way to success.
Title: Moonlight Over Paris

Lyrics
You say you've been overseas
I say over where
You say just a holiday
My Alsatian heir
I say I've been working late, working overtime
Haven't seen the sun since sixty-nine
Does the moonlight shine on Paris
After the sun goes down
If the London Bridge is falling
Will anybody hear a sound
If you follow the sunset will it ever end
Does the moonlight shine on Paris
Oh and how can you just walk away
Was it something that I said
I see only black and white
You see green and red
You believe in the miracles
Water into wine
I believe it when it makes the New York Times
Does the moonlight shine on Paris
After the sun goes down
If the London Bridge is falling
Will anybody hear a sound
If you follow the sunset will it ever end
Does the moonlight shine on Paris
