Lunar Twilight 2022 - 12th Night: Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata 1801

 

Lunar Twilight is upon us.  It is when the spirit of the yesteryear's Moon sneaks into current year during the evening to give an extra long kiss goodbye.  Lunar Twilight and songs of the Moon abound, but they all seem to touch upon a somber and sweet melody of letting go to the sweetness that was yesteryear. 


Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata is a timeless piece that pieces the essetial feels of this personal holiday of remembrance. 

You can just barely make out the logo of the piano.

Lunar Twilight 2022 - 11th Night: Crash Into Me: Dave Matthews

 

Here is another song that tunes into the essence of Lunar Twilight to some degree. 


Fallen embers, glow, sad and soulful the passing of Yesteryear was, for the good bad and silly, 2022 was a strong year to remember.  The passing peace of joy is hard to catch, and harder still to appreciate.  Only after its sweet passing it there a realization that it was always there.

Crosses feature heavy in heraldry, and of relevant meaning Crash Into Me, Mr. Matthews can be seen wearing a ring on the his middle finger.

Lunar Twilight 2022 - 10th Night: to the Moon: Jnr Choi

 



The Moon acts as catalyst on the human soul in a certain way, such that songs dedicated to the Moon are bound by a certain kind of musical gravity.  Jnr Choi, Sam Tompkins To the Moon again puts the right spin for this low-key holiday.   

Several manufactured bottles appear in the video, the logos are certainly trademarked.

Lunar Twilight 2022 - 8th Night: Sade, By Your Side


 Sade takes the feel of this night, Lunar Twilight, which is when the fading glow of yesteryear, 2022, is permitted to cross over into 2023, whence the Sun sets and the Moon returns to the rule the sky.  During the first month of January, the last cycle of the Moon carries a remainder.  

Of vexillological interest is a blue shirt that is hung out on the tree house.  It is a symbol of some sort or is it just plain laundry.  Several times over in history the hanging of certain laundry colors was used to send secret messages.  



At the end of the video Sade returns to hand out a rose to anyone who is in need of support.  No matter the circumstance, Sade's higher self does not deny the grace and compassion to the downtrodden.  

It is at low moments in life that certain angels like Sade appear and share the flowers of wisdom for the heart.

Lunar Twilight 2022 - 7th Night: Moon by Mr. West


The Moon is a reflection that speaks to the past, a shadow of what was.  Here another Moon song by Mr. West of the K-multiverse taps the feel of this celestial sphere.   It is a sweet diddy from quite a wacky and rebellious 'Rapper on the Roof' of modern civilization.  

Lunar Twilight is an extra opportunity to made peace with the past, let go, remember soulfully and cherish the past, as the last Moon of 2022 fades from our collective memory in first 'month' of January 2023. 

Of vexillological interest is a white tag that can been seen on a black hoodie.  Clothing tags like flags are square like devices that convey information.  Likewise, coded symbols on clothing tags can be quite complex. 



 

Lunar Twilight 2022 - 6th Night: Moon Song, Phoebe Ridgers

 

Phoebe Bridgers, plays in the full moon night of Lunar Twilight 2022.  This is the night where fullness of 2022 comes back for en encore performance.  Not all Lunar Twilight's get a Full Moon evening.  

The length of Lunar Twilight depends on the cycle of the Moon and New Years.  Only if a lunar cycle begins before 13 Days before New Years, will a Lunar Twilight celebration get a Full Moon.  Last Year, Lunar Twilight only lasted one night.  On the rare occasion that a New Moon falls on December 31st, then Lunar Twilight will last its maximum of 29 nights into January, but never unto February.  


Bottom Line is you have an extra excuse to keep the Christmas Tree lights and decoration hung until the end of Lunar Twilight, which ends on January 21, 2023. 

In one live performance, the essential badge of the band can be seen on the Bass Dram, which has become the defacto flag or vexilloid within the Music industry.  And note, military drums always had the colors and symbols of the nation as well.
