Supertramp- maybe the most underrated band in history.
That song is so haunting.. it was released just after a sibling passed away…..
This version of Moon River:

Not so much for Mancini’s daughter, but, the recording and the harmonies are exquisite on a really good stereo system. (Just ok on headphones). I was privileged to hear this on a system that had to cost well over $50,000, including Jim Thiele’s then recently released CS3.7 speakers. Almost unbelievable (because it was so “believable”!) imaging, smoothness, and lack of distortion...
And in a completely different vein (but still a good recording for live rock) Uriah Heep (live recording of Sunrise):

(not bad vocal chops there at the end for a guy usually rated as their 3rd best singer!)
If you want both Sun and Moon in the same song (this part is a sort of confrontation between good and evil):
” But when the night is over, and daytime steals your cover
The goodness of the morning sun will warm away what you have done
And leave you cold
.... I have no need for moonlight, you’re wrong to trust in sunlight
.... For I exist, not just in storms, but in life itself in so many forms
.... To leave you cold “

Don't touch the moon.
I need it for loving.
Don't touch the stars.
I need them, too.
All you frantic scientists,
Find something else to do.
Moon of Alabama (The Alabama Song), Berthold Brecht
I’ll follow the Sun, the Beatles
How did everyone forget this one?

Good evening, Canteeners!

We learned it singing along with Mitch Miller.
