MAN MADE MOON LYRICS

words by Lindiwe Suttle & Benni Dernhoff, recorded and produced in Hamburg, Germany

'This song was inspired from being single. I looked at the sense of desperation one gets being single because of the pressure from the outside world to be in a relationship. I thought of the loneliness of being in outer space and thought about satellitles floating in space. Man Made Moon is another word for satellite and this song is about a feamle satellite that stalks this particluar guy on Earth. She is a bit delusional.' explains Lindiwe.

Bonjour, the day is clear
I'm all alone, only stillness I hear
Today's the day, they meet again
Put my best gear on, for my new found friend

I hit the pavement through the concrete world
And avoid those useless lines
I'm in position, I am never late
To all those blinking lights
I rush to see the sunrise from your eyes
And I hope that you don't mind

I'm a man-made moon, the only thing I do
Is try to stay in tune
I'm a man-made moon, I'm all over you
Tracking all your moves

Beep, beep, beep, I'm GPSing

You've tossed and turned, hit the snooze
Restless through my bird's eye view
Routine - take your coffee black
And as you're good to go, I'm on your back

You make your way and I take the same
Just in another sphere
You turn around, there's no one there
But  I'm always near
I rush to see the sunset from your eyes
And I hope that you don't mind

Tumbling round in a vacuum, sending signals out to space
Waited for an answer but I couldn't find a trace
I spun around, changed direction and navigated my flight home
A satellite never sleeps because it's forced to roam, roam, roam...gone

I'm a man-made moon, the only thing I do
Is try to stay in tune
I'm a man-made moon, I'm all over you
Tracking all your moves

Beep, beep, beep, I'm GPSing
(*&%^, *&*%, &^(&, I'm GPSing

Beep, beep, beep, I'm GPSing
^%$,  *%**, *&^*^, I'm GPSing

Expresso Morning Show on SABC3 - 6am with fashion designer Lara Klawikowski

Hectic Nine-9 Show on SABC2 - 4pm, Lindiwe will perform Man Made Moon, wearing Skeet---

SOUTH AFRICA (February 14, 2011) – Style icon, performance artist, songwriter and singer, Lindiwe Suttle has released a snippet of her debut single “Man Made Moon” produced by Hamburg producer Benni Dernhoff, along with an accompanying behind the scenes video of the photo shoot shot by photographer Andrew Brauteseth. The behind the scenes video was directed by young talent fashion videographer Roice Nel.

True to form, Lindiwe’s behind the scenes video is packed with over-the-top costumes, quirky dance moves and her deep soulful voice sets the mood for the song. The single will be included in Lindiwe’s upcoming EP, Man Made Moon, which is slated for April release. The EP will be a collaboration of work with producers Ivan Georgiev from Berlin, Benni Dernhoff from Hamburg and Gabi Le Roux from South Africa.

Man Made Moon is another word for satellite. The story is about a modern day female stalker, a female satellite that is a bit delusional and stalks this particular guy on Earth. “I have been single for a while and there is a sense of desperation that I sometimes feel with myself and my other single friends. There is a lot of pressure to be in a relationship,” explains Lindiwe.

“I wanted to release a fashion video along with a teaser of the single to pay tribute to the work of the creative team,” says Lindiwe. Andrew Brauteseth was the stills photographer and art director, and worked closely with Lindiwe to conceptualize the shoot. “Andrew shot me for the international Frazer Parfum campaign and I wanted to work with him again because I love how he directs and choreographs each frame, he understands the small stories with in the whole story,” explains Lindiwe.

Andrew explains his vision for the shoot. “The original idea of the shoot was inspired by movement and dance. I wanted to blend both hard and soft movements and choreograph the stills in a way that showed the song's themes in a dramatic and unique way. The single “Man Made Moon” also has a lot of references to outer space, being out of touch and a sense of alienation on an emotional level. So the styling, hair and the strong pieces of clothing from the designers adds to these layers of meaning. On the cover image, Lindi has a very powerful pose, but you also get this sense that she has landed from outer-space, some place totally off the radar.”

Style award winner, Lindiwe continues to work with South African designers and partnered with young design graduates Lara Klawikowski & Lameez Claasen and established SA jewelry designers Ida Elsje and Philippa Green to create a truly futuristic look that captures the mood of “Man Made Moon”.

After Lindiwe releases her EP, she will be working with Berlin producer, Ivan Georgiev from ZPYZ on her debut album out later in the year. Her sound can be described as genre blurring with influences from electronic dance, rock-n-roll and soul music. The full length music video for “Man Made Moon” will be shot in April 2011. Lindiwe will be again collaborating with local designers, Lara Klawikowski, Ida Elsje, Philippa Green, Missibaba, and Suzaan Heyns are some of the designers that have already created looks for her up-coming music video.
