The term refers to a relatively uncommon astronomical event that occurs roughly every two to three years.<\/p>\n<p>Two common definitions exist:<br \/>\n* Monthly Blue Moon \u2014 the second full moon occurring within a single calendar month.<br \/>\n* Seasonal Blue Moon \u2014 the third full moon in an astronomical season containing four full moons instead of the usual three.<\/p>\n<p>The song uses the Blue Moon as a metaphor for rare moments, fleeting connections, and events that feel extraordinary because they do not happen often.<\/p>\n<p>From the album <strong>&#8220;<a href=\"\/albums\/Blue\/\">Blue<\/a>&#8220;<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Silence] [Instrumental, Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums] [Intro] [Instrumental Intro: Soft Piano, Ambient Synth Pads, Delayed Guitar Harmonics] [Slow Bass Pulse, Cymbal Swells, Night Wind FX] Silver shadows on the sea (Moonlight shining down on me) Quiet orbit overhead (Pulling dreams out from my head) [Verse 1] [Steady Groove, Warm [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-53337","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53337","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53337"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53337\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":53339,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53337\/revisions\/53339"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53337"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53337"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53337"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
