I first heard this song in the end credits of the above movie, Leave No Trace. It’s so atmospheric and mellow, but I love the ride it takes me on. The lyrics below are fantastic as well. My reflections and sentiments align with the following comments in the You Tube presentation below about the movie and song respectively:
@billyclifton5710:
(Leave No Trace) is a well-made, naturalistic, moving portrayal of a man and his daughter living off the grid in an Oregon park.
@edwinrolandoborrallos4193:
(Moon Boat) A very beautiful song rendition to complement a very lovely and emotional movie which really elevates ones mind to another level of consciousness especially due to its soft and mellow music and emotive lyrics.
I wandered this world green and wild
And the things in my mind are
Like a red sun go down.
Oh And I, I know you must go.
And I think I know why…
But I don’t know why.
Still I am thinking we both share a moon and a star.
May you be safe, may we both find a place with a heart.
Here, where treasures a-bound
In the things I have found, a leaf, a song come from above…
In the wood, where secrets crawl
The Earth so small, a place, a home, a dream my own…
There’ll be a tree that joins you and me from a-far.
And I am certain we all share a moon and a star
In 2018, Kendra Smith contributed this song Moon Boat to the soundtrack for the film Leave No Trace (her first solo recording since 1996). The film received universal critical acclaim, with praise for the performances of Foster and McKenzie, and it is the most reviewed film to hold an approval rating of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.
