FACTS
A The Natvral song played at shows in 2018 and 2019, then included on the debut full-length album Tethers in 2021. New Moon became the second single from the album, and shows off a closer style to the unaccompanied pieces on the Know Me More EP, as opposed to the Dylanesque full-band sound of Why Don't You Come Out Anymore?

QOUTES
“A bright, ambitious friend of mine used to date a kind-hearted, but poor musician, at some point, their relationship ended and she went on to marry someone that offered a bit more stability — and asked me to sing a song at their wedding. I gladly sang the song she asked me to, but that experience led me to write another. I didn’t mean to sympathize with her ex — though it’s hard not to. And I didn’t mean to say she chose something wrong for herself, because she’s better suited to her new person. But I just wanted to get at that moment when you know love isn’t going to be enough, and it’s time to say good-bye.” - Kip, in the press release announcing the single
