Harvest Moon
The story behind the song
"Harvest Moon" by Runrig captures the spirit of youth and the enduring power of the land. It speaks to a time of honest labor, when the "sons and daughters of the dust" work until the day breaks, and shadows run away, carrying with them the full "power in the days of youth." The song, appearing on their 1990 release Capture the Heart, embodies the Scottish Celtic rock band's deep connection to their heritage and the natural world. It's a call to let that inner light "shine on," a celebration of life's essential energy.
