"Moon" is a song by Icelandic artist Björk. It is the first track on her album Biophilia and was released as the second promotional single before the release of the album. Each song in the album features a theme related to nature. In "Moon", Björk explores the lunar cycles and the effect they have on Earth.
The song "Moon" is based on four different sequences played by four different harpists: Zeena Parkins, Shelley Burgon, Sara Cutler, Carol Emanuel. These sequences repeat throughout the song, resembling the lunar cycles. The song has 17/8 time signature. The lyrics to "Moon" deals with themes such as rebirth, start over and mythology, making reference to the Moon as "adrenalin pearls placed in the gods' mouths". About the song, Björk explained: "With each new moon we complete a cycle and are offered renewal —to take risks, to connect with other people, to love, to give. The symbolism of the moon as the realm of imagination, melancholy, and regeneration is expressed in the song"
