Lunar Twilight - 20th Night

 

The last night of Lunar Twilight is dedicated to 2022, yesteryear, it is the last light of 2022 to go out.  Only then will the days of 2023 sync up with each other upon the first sliver of New Lunar Light of 2023 to take the stage in less than 48 hours. 

Here the King of Nat wears a skinny black tie, a classic for the ages.  The tie was originally a military device from Croatia.  But it has now become an international essential for the suit and iconic symbol for manhood. 

Hoping that the previous year and years to come are as "Unforgettable" with the best of intentions and tone, as Mr. Cole put it. 

Lunar Twilight - 19th Night: Stand By Me 1961

 

With two candles left for Lunar Twilight, the end is near for the last hurray of 2022 to give its goodbyes.  Two candles are a perfect metaphor for Ben E. King's classic Stand By Me.

 In the video from 1961, the tie and matching handkerchief project a certain kind of vexillological energy. 

Lunar Twilight - 18 Night: Extreme's More Than Words

 

Extreme sets the perfect tone to cherish things that once were from yesteryear.  

Of vexillological note, on the official video the flag of Portugal makes an appearance as you can see it draped over the piano. 

Here is another angle of the flag of Portual along with the arm badge on the military issue shirt of the drummer.

Lunar Twilight - 17 Night: I Don't Want to Live on the Moon 2009

 

Even Erine knows about the power of the Moon, for Lunar Twilight. Of vexillological interest in the capital letter 'E' on Ernie's bed to signify it is his.  Although not necessary, it is an obvious representation of Ernie's megolomania.

 

 

 

Lunar Twilight - 16 Night: Tracy Chapma's vexilloid like things in official video

 

Tracy Chapman's song Fast Car captures the themes of Lunar Twilight.  Remember Lunar Twilight is a time when yesteryear's Moon of 2022 returns to sneak back in at night during 2023, when the Sun is not looking. 

In the video there is quick shot of laundry hanging from a line.  Note that hanging laundry is one of the oldest ways of sending secret signals.  But it very unlikely that that was case with this video with Tracy Chapman. 

 

Lunar Twilight 2022 - 15th Night: Moon River

 

Lunar twilight enters the final quarter of the Moon of 2022.  One of the earliest songs to capture the feelings of Lunar Twilight was in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's.  Here our heroine sings Moon River.

Of vexillological note is the artwork on the wall.  It looks like it might be of some kind of heraldic device behind out bohemian writer, who just happen to overhead our singer.

Lunar Twilight 2002 - 14th Night: Crash and Burn

Lunar Twilight is also a time of hope and remembrance.  It is a time to look soulfully forward while simultaneously looking backward.  The song Crash and Burn by Savage Garden hit a high note with this theme. 

Of vexillological note are the labels on the condiments that appear in the refrigerator while the young boy is being scolded.  

Labels can have logos and are images that are protected by law, with misuse having dire consequences.
