Je Voyage - Lunar Twilight Theme

Lunar Twilight is a time of transition when 2019 makes a transient reappearance in 2020.  Reason being, the current Moon was created last year on December 27, 2019.  Since the New Year is a celebration of the Solar Cycle, we use Sun as the dominant counter to year.  But the Moon is the 'ruler of the night,' thus an echo or rather the last light from 2019 shines on in the early January when the Sun is not looking (night time).  The first Moon to be born in 2020 will be on January 24, 2020.  Until then when night falls, a faith echo of 2019 returns.

At the core of Lunar Twilight is the Candlemast, which counts down the last over lapping lunar cycle of 2019.  Each night all the candles are lit, until the smallest burns out.  Then all the other candles are blown out, and relit the next evening after the setting of the Sun.  The cycle repeats until last candle burns out that is synchronized to the last sliver of yesteryear's Moon.

Charles Aznavour's song Je Voyage steps into the romantic and soft beats of Lunar Twilight.  In a way a voyage is like the transition to the new year, since things as they are, are left behind, resulting in a bittersweet crossing of time and space, unto the new and unknown, as is the case for ever new year.

In the background are faux stars.  Note that stars are a popular device in flags.  Additionally they are used for decorative purposes, as in the video below.
