I waited all of my life, just to find your love I wasted all of my time, I had to give it up I tried the best I could try, but now I've got to run We had a lot of good times, but now those days are done You know they all passed us by in the blink of an eye I gave you all that was mine, but it was not enough And all those times that you cried, I tried to lift you up I hope you make it alright, I know that times are tough I hope I see you sometime, you know that Someday we're gonna say hello and wish we never ever said goodbye Who's gonna love you when I'm gone? Who's gonna love you when I'm gone? I lost the fight, I'm moving on Who's gonna love you when I'm gone? Who? I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know Who? Who's gonna love you when I'm gone? Who's gonna love you when I'm gone? The moon is bright, I'm moving on Who's gonna love you when I'm gone?

I lost my love beside the ocean I watched her sink beneath the waves And in my unknown destination I was just looking for my way I sought my solace on an island Searching for something I could say In my half-hearted hesitation I was regretting my mistake Are you a particle or wave? When California caught on fire We were surrounded by the flames I felt my bones burn down to embers Were you the kindling or the blaze? Are you a phantom or my fate? And I wondered while I wandered, will I get to you? And I wondered while I wandered, will I finally get back home to you? I climbed the highest mountain I could find, and I saw you there For the first time... Blazing in a cloud Waiting for a sound Baby, I'm still down And I'm still around You are the only destination You are the circle in the sky And in my endless explanation You are the reason that I rise You are the reason that I try And I wondered while I wandered, will I get through to you? And I wondered while I wandered, will I finally get back home to you? When I finally get back home to you...

about

The 3rd and final single from our last album, 2019's El Sol
Note on the tracks: Astute fans may recognize that "When California Caught on Fire" is the same music track as "All the World Must Know" from the album, remixed and with a different vocal line. But in fact, "When California Caught on Fire" was the original version of the song that I wrote initially. I reworked it to become "All the World Must Know" later for the album, because it seemed to me that the album as a whole was a bit heavy on heartbreak, and lacking in hope... and so I wanted to balance it out a bit.

"All the World Must Know" did turn out to be a favorite pop centerpiece on the album, but this original version is close to my heart, and I felt it needed to be put out into the world as an indelible piece of Luna Moth mythos. Written in 2018 (during what was then the worst wildfire outbreak in the history of the country, as California burned), upon returning from a soul-searching summer in Japan, the island upon which I "sought my solace" in the song after the dissolution of a long and storied bond, the songwriting process for "When California Caught on Fire" was actually the germination for the rest of the songs that would become "El Sol."
