Moon Lyrics – Daniel Caesar (feat. Bon Iver)

Daniel Caesar howls into the night on Moon, his latest single with Bon Iver that dropped last month, setting the stage for tomorrow’s full album Son of Spergy via Republic Records.

It’s a two-parter that splits open the soul—Part I wrestles with self-doubt and devotion, while Part II turns to inherited pain and breaking free. Over a sparse, haunting beat that Caesar co-produced, he confesses, “Hit dogs will holler, I’ll howl at the moon / I’m not who I wanna be at the moment / Maybe soon.” Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon layers in those ghostly harmonies on the plea for a savior: “Who’s gonna be my Jesus? / Pull up on a cloud? Play that trumpet loud?”

Coming off Never Enough’s introspection, this track digs deeper into Caesar’s Toronto roots and spiritual searches, flipping violence into a cycle we can escape—”Someday I will leave your home / I’ll be a man, I’ll make my own / And I’ll set this world on fire, you can’t stop me.” Fans on Reddit are calling it his most vulnerable since Get You, with X threads praising the Bon Iver spark that elevates the R&B glow. As the album closer, it ties into features from Sampha and more, promising a project that’s equal parts ache and ascent. If you’re craving music that feels like late-night therapy, Moon’s your entry point.
