I’m in the Moon is a raw and evocative song that speaks to anyone needing to retreat from the world. A self-described hermit’s anthem, the track is an ode to introversion and the quiet defiance of navigating life while carrying trauma. Ethan Gold creates a seamless blend of acoustic and electric elements giving it an earthy yet vibrant sound. The song was recorded in Nashville with Gold playing most of the instruments, with his friends Cal Campbell and Adam Moseley who produced the song. 

The song begins with a grounded, intimate tone, amplifying its emotional resonance, and crafting a sonic space where vulnerability meets strength. Instruments such as a catchy drum beat, punchy bass, and electric guitar, topped off with vibrant piano chords complete the track’s soundscape. Gold’s vocals take center stage, embodying an ambivalence about connection and isolation. The lyrics are deeply personal yet universal, making listeners feel understood in their quiet struggles. His storytelling is supported by dynamic instrumentation—gentle melodies that build into energetic crescendos during the hooks, reflecting the push-and-pull of longing for solitude while navigating societal pressures. This single is part of Gold’s Earth City trilogy, a project exploring the complexities of modern life and the desire for human connection. I’m in the Moon stands out as a beacon for tender souls, blending poetic introspection with anthemic energy.
