about

2023 AD is the first single of Moon Goose’s 4th LP, Murmurations, to be released on 27th January 2024, via Fruits de Mer Records and Inflatable Tarmac Records.

2023 AD is Moon Goose’s first Christmas Song, sort of. It is a twisted portrait of the grim year we’ve just had as seen through a slightly distorted cheese lens, opening the door to fantasised images of strange fairies alongside the usual a parade of monsters that populate our media channels.

This is one of 3 tracks that are not instrumental on the album, which is quite unusual for us, but brings another dimension to the preaching of the Goose. Now you will get the whole story at last and not just the implied journey of the song titles..

lyrics

2023AD

I call in the off-licence to pick up some beers
I talk to the shopkeeper through a gap in the elfbars
“I’ll have that one over there !”
I know her from school
Must’ve been 1983
Now it’s 2023
2023AD…
We mustn’t grumble it could be worse
We laugh at the snow falling outside
That’s not snow like it used to be
That’s not 1980s snow
That’s snowflake snow !
I remember the shopkeeper from parties
People said she gave her baby special brew to help it sleep
Must’ve been 1987 or 1988
Now it’s 2023
2023AD…
I walk out into the cold night air
Snow dancing in streetlight
Falling faster not proper snow
“See ya hun, yeah see ya later happy 2023”-
A pale blue mask infectious in the gutter
The great reset came and went
Work from home stare at walls
Internet banking, online wanking
Just take a ticket and wait
Spungle in the jungle
I’m a celebrity fucking get me out of here
“Can I have a flat white to go for the gentleman in the felt hat-
And can you stick a Portuguese tart up his arse ! He’s triggering me ,
Back to 1973,
And it’s 2023
2023-2023 AD
It’s the dawning of a non era
Small boats bobbing
The white cliffs of Dover
Fields of flags and kind like- minded people
Cap in hand in a green and pleasant land
“Did you have a nice time ahh did you ?
Did you have a nice time ahh !
Did you have a nice time ahh did you ?
Did you have a nice time ?
Did you fuck…”

Moon Goose Hay On Wye, UK

Moon Goose put Space, Psych, Prog and Motorik in a bag, shook it, poked it, burned it, then spread the ashes from the top of the Welsh Mountains with the wind in their face until their eyes were crying black tears.

It’s the sound of a dragon colliding with an asteroid.

If you enjoy things like gneiss, spores, and strange ideas followed through to an illogical conclusion, you’ll love Moon goose. ... more
