So last Tuesday while performing my weekly Dlive concert (you can watch the replay on previous post) I made a try with this song from Serena that I love. It's one favourite of hers and she had just shared a new version on her profile featuring her husband on guitars. So as It lingered in my mind, and with her permission, this morning I gave it a try and recorded this today. I added the second vocals (harmonies), flutes, piano and harp
Note: If you missed our previous collaboration check video at the end of this article.
Two Moon hanging low... but we are under the same Moon
I have to say that I do very few collaborations but again with Serena this happened so spontaneously... I know her for a long time and I've always loved her wistful lullabies :) when I was listening to her "Where did the moon go?* I could recall the feeling of my song "Where are the stars?" as if they were kindred songs, kindred spirits...
And after all those "Moons" are the same moon even if we are different in different parts of the world.

Moon Hanging Low by Serena Matthews
I don't the rain can wash this away
This wound is too deep to heal now
Don't worry about me
I'll paint on my smile
This world is too shallow to drown me
There is the moon
hanging low
I see that wonderful orange glow
smiling at me
straight the rain
That old comfort I know keeps calling
I wish the night would swallow this day
and the clouds wouldn't steal
the moon from me
but the rain starts to fall
the moon fades away
this world is too shallow to drown me
Where is the moon?
hanging low
I miss the wonderful orange glow
smiling at me straight through the rain
That old comfort I know keeps calling me
Where did the moon go?

Cover a Steemian and Harmonize a Steemian
Cover a steemian is a challenge created by @pechichemena in which you cover a song by a fellow steemian and of course forward their part of the payout as rightful song owners.

I collaborated before with a cover of Serena's song "Fly" that I shared some weeks ago. You can read that post here - https://steemit.com/coverasteemian/@yidneth/cover-a-steemian-my-cover-of-fly-written-by-long-time-friend-serena-matthews-paintingangels-also-bands-about-bands-challenge
I have been doing a DLIVE concert at least once a week and since February I've been "harmonizing steemians" sometimes as shout out to them (of course with their permission). That way I've done with @pechichemena @paintingangels and @meno. And now they are being showcased too in the original "Cover a steemian" contest so here my first official recording (and second collaboration with Serena). Lots of these have happened spontaneously there or on my server but here is one for Dsound.
By the way Pechichemena himself made a cover of this song.
We hope this makes you look to the moon.... tonight and every night

Don't miss it if you can... neither the moon nor the stars...
With love... Pris and Serena

You are so sweet... it happened spontaneously on dlive, then tech glitches messed a bit so decided to do this... also so we could stop in a moment of perfect stillness after the orangey glow of the moon.
It's the SAME moon after all above us two, above us three... think of that... we´re right here :)
Ahhh you, you ground me, always, it's simply with being you that resonates, a true voice calling <3
WOW! You two sound incredibly awesome!
I hope that each of you realizes that the two of you have a standing invitation to add vocal tracks to the upcoming Mega-Collab for the Open-Mic. Just friend me on discord and I'll keep you posted: passion-ground#5524

Thanks for the compliment @passion-ground
She has her own distinct sound and I have mine but we loved to lull under the same moon for once.
Amazing sounds and sights... You two sound wonderful together! All three of you I should say, as Jeff does a great job to on the guitar :-) My hat's off to you all :-)
Thank you for the lovely feedback. I think ir blended naturally, was born as dlive improv on Tuesday but we had a few tech issues so recorded yesterday also for Pechis challenge
without reading anything......... I just heard your song....... and "Earth and Sky' came to my mind listening to the 2 of you sing.
it's a beautiful song. The two of your voices really Do work well together.
I loved it!!!!
Aww thanks so much, in all honesty this is @paintingangels song I just added strokes to it so compliment will be forwarded to her. And I think yes, it blended well, but then somehow I really feel close to her songs almost as it they were mine. She's such a humble and sweet person. I enjoyed doing this very much.
yes, that I knew. She was the Earth and you were the sky. why you go together so well. I think.
