This is currently my favorite song. A Matt Cameron gem, I can't believe it only made Lost Dogs and not an album. Anyone know what it might be about? I have a few ideas but none of them seem right.

    what you think it is about is what it is about...that's all that matters...

    Just a great song. What the hell time signature is it? It is just so off-sounding but perfect?

    I still can't believe they put something this original out, I don't mean to be a smart alek, but its so far from their sound, yet totally them, as if on another plain. It's so good I honestly can't absorb it, so I'm saving it for some different time in my life.

    OMG loooooove it!!!!! :o


    Matt Cameron brings the FUNK!!! He was known for doing it with SG...and it has ooooozed into PJ and I fuckin LOVE it! This is definitely a prime example. IN THE MOONLIGHT is such a sexy ass rockin song.

    My interpretation is a quite simple one, I just see it as naturally being a love song....a love/someone that brightens your darkest days....glows. I don't know, very simple and vauge I'm sure...but that's what I get from it. :p


    Good call with starting this thread armanHammer. :D

    The sunset in Eastern Canda was exquisite tonight, I'm taking this tune on a mix cd and checking out the autumn stars. One of my favorites.

    I think the boys should change that.....
    and hey, maybe bust out a sexy threesome even!!!! :D
    Of The Girl, You Are AND In The Groove/Moonlight.

    Cameron is a genius.
    Listen to Wellwater Conspiracy to hear more like this.

    I have a radio show at college....was walking in one night...full moon out...HAD to play this song first.

    So, I play it about once a month...

    Matt Cameron comes at song writing from an un-thought-of direction. His skills compliment this band so much. And, in a way, he's always been part of the band.

    Just looking at the tracks on Lost Dogs that were part of the Binaural recording sessions, you start to think, what if these were included on that disc? In The Moonlight, Fatal, Education, Hitchhiker and Sad.

    The musical experimentation is so evident: different beats, layered vocal tracks, varying subject matter...

    Keep playing In The Moonlight every full moon!

    Being a drummer myself I have to say that Matt Cameron is among the best there is in the world right now. He actually started as a jazz drummer when he was young. You can see that in his speed and finesse. He made Pearl Jam the best touring band in the world. Don't get me wrong I love Jack Irons but he has a chunky, almost tribal type style...I just think Matt fits the band like a glove.

    There is no denying, that this is a beautiful gem of a track.  Lost Dogs is full of gems that are aging very nicely.
