The story behind the song

"New Moon On Monday" carries a lyrical theme of loneliness, exploring the feeling of waiting for someone to decide, like a "lonely satellite." The song's effervescent verse melodies give way to a triumphant, rousing chorus, holding together the unusual lyrics with an uplifting sound. Released in 1984, it was the second single from Duran Duran's third studio album, Seven and the Ragged Tiger. It plays like a hopeful anthem for patience and perseverance when a connection feels distant.
