Gary Moore (R.I.P.) - Picture Of The Moon (Live)

Gary Moore (R.I.P.) - Picture Of The Moon (Live) (Barend En Van Dorp, 2001.03.16.)

One of the most beautiful songs ever written.

Rest in peace, Gary.

Picture of the moon
You gave to me that night.
The stars were out to play,
The moon was shining bright.
If only I had known
That it would end so soon.
I was left with a picture of the moon.

The sound of soft guitars
Beneath the spanish skies.
Across the candle lights
The sadness in your eyes.
If only I had known
That it would end so soon.
I was left with a picture of the moon.

Picture of the moon
You gave to me that night.
The stars were out to play,
The moon was shining bright.
However could I know
That it would end so soon?
I was left with a picture of the moon.
I was left with a picture of the moon.
All that's left is a picture of the moon.

Don't get me wrong, and this ISN'T a criticism (Gary was my favourite guitarist ever!!), but hasn't this track got tons of "Still Got The Blues" in it... Just a thought... R.I.P Gary - sleep well my friend.

@MrDavey1450 Maybe. But I think this song is better than "Still Got The Blues".

@daqarell

i think not.

this song is difrent BUT similar to Still got ... same chord similar feeling but this is for what we love Gary??

and i think u say it better than Still got the blues cose u were listen this 1 milion times and this is maybe fresher :P

anyway we dont have to choose listen both of them :)

music never die :)

@eloo41 "and i think u say it better than Still got the blues cose u were listen this 1 milion times and this is maybe fresher :P"

No. I think, the lead guitar melody is better. I love "Still Got The Blues", too, I heard "Picture Of The Moon", first, in 2001. "Still Got The Blues" is fresher for me, than this song. Anyway, my favourite Gary Moore album is "Dark Days In Paradise" from 1997.

You watch him play, and you can see how deeply he felt his music

Thank you for the live version of this beautiful, soulful music..."Picture of the Moon"

I just bought the cd that has this song on it....can't wait to get it, I just love his voice on this song....

Believe me getting your hands on some of these CDs is not easy, but so I've found 5...for playing in my car.

I've got many pieces from iTunes......so my computer is loaded up too., I've just discovered his music, and my heart has been captured.

RIP Mr. Moore ..... your music will play on.

for a moment I thought that he never played this song live... been looking for a live version for about 3 years, thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!

[MrBlackKing999]

the worst audience ever >> how can they take and laugh like this while he is playing!? no respect >> all the respect goes to Gary Moore

[Glittergirl33333]

@MrDavey1450 Similar, but in Still Got the Blues the guitar is sad; in Picture of the Moon his guitar is crying. Both beautiful songs I think.

A Talent Taken Away!!!

Miss You Gary!!!

@MrDavey1450

today i picked up my guitar an for one more time i started improvising on still got the blues. at some point i reached the melodies of the picture of the moon. big surprise 2 hour later i read this comment of yours, so i m totally with you. this is not critic of yours. Gary had a particular playing that is repeated in almost every songs (especially in the blues era). all these licks He heard from Jimi, Peter Green, Collins etc developed in His own Moorish style. cheers.

Nothing but to agree ... Deeply, all the time ... I still can't believe he had passed away ... I'm so sad ...
