Fun facts

Children of the Moon is a novel by Boris Akunin, the second part of the second book in a series that follows the adventures of Russian and German spies during World War I. The story centers on Aleksei Romanov, a character who moves through the streets of Saint Petersburg in autumn of 1915, trapped in a plot full of secrets and betrayals.

The story behind

The Alan Parsons Project recorded Children of the Moon in 1982, as part of the album Eye in the Sky. The song is four and a half minutes long, and feels like a story being told in the dark, with instruments that move as if they had a life of their own. The lead vocals carry the weight of the narrative, while the instruments intertwine as if they were sharing a secret. The lyrics speak of a journey, of lights that fade away, and of a place that seems to be beyond what one can see. It is a song that makes you feel as if you were in the middle of something big, something that cannot be explained with words. The production is clear, but with details that make you think, as if someone had wanted you to listen beyond what you hear.
