| | I came upon this song when it was first released by the Waterboys in 1985 as an almost 13 year old and fell in love with it right then and there. The original (iTunes link)has soaring violin, horns, rythmic piano and twelve string guitar. Mine has just voice. But I think you can still tell the lyrical strength of Mike Scott, who wrote it.
I unwittingly dropped it down a key or two, and don't feel that the open spaces left by the lack of instruments are nearly as effective as the original, but it's a great song nonetheless.
As for how I fit the song: I feel like the person who stayed in his room, wondered, guessed and tried, but still only saw the crescent, and not the whole of the moon, so I can sing of both sides with equal abandon.
