I listened to her songs almost everyday while I was in Afghanistan. Laid outside on a bench on clear Afghan nights watching the million stars and counting satellites race in different directions across the beautiful clear desert sky.Her songs and amazing voice kept me going. Never really knew who she was until then, 2009. She is an angel.
Oh Kate, you totally capture the emotions of separated lovers the whole world over! May you, who sing so ethereally about the pain, never suffer it yourself. Bless you, y'Yorkshire lass.
This made me cry. Because I've loved someone for so long and we can't be together for he chooses a life that keeps us apart. His demons had taken him away from me. I long for him but he is lost and we belong in 2 different worlds
'Most things fail with age. Our hands and backs stiffen. Our eyes dim. Skin roughens and our beauty fades. The only exception is the voice. Properly cared for, a voice does nothing but grow sweeter with age and constant use.' - Patrick Rothfuss, 'The Wise Man's Fear'
I absolutely love this track. The whole album is terrific and my favourite so far, of all Kate's albums (I've bought every one). It was a big part of me buying new speakers so I could listen to it properly! 😀 I love the new sound and use of 'new' instruments , but for me, somehow Kate and the band still capture the beauty of folk music - the stories and words. Thank you Kate.
There she is rising now, My heart it might break, The birds in her warmth will fly, My soul it will ache, And the world comes alive for her, In awe at her gaze, Beautiful. How many of us feel about the love in our lives. Kate is a poet.
Softly the morning light, Softly the dew, Softly my soul will bend, As she comes in view, At dawn she is delicate, And burning by noon, The end of the day will come soon. Chorus And the stars in my lonely sky, Are infinite bright, And the stars know my soul will fly, They're holding it tight. There she is rising now, My heart it might break, The birds in her warmth will fly, My soul it will ache, And the world comes alive for her, In awe at her gaze, And suddenly the sky is ablaze, Chorus Say not her name to me, For I live in the shade, Briefly I see her, As she starts to fade, In silence we pass, Our path is well worn, In silence I wait for the dawn. Chorus Calmly I drift along, Oh I will endure, I only belong to her, Of that I am sure, Will I ever hold her, I cannot presume, For she's the sun, I'm only the moon. Chorus x2
I'm something of a musicologist and music theorist. How did not know about this incredible voice before now at age 50? Thank's to Sinead O'Connor for recording "I Am Stretched On Your Grave," which brought me to the version by lady Kate Rusby.
I don't know if you will see this, Kate, but if you do, I just want you to know that I love this song so much. You have a brilliant imagination, and a beautiful voice. Keep it up!
Just heard this on Radio 2, while watching the just-waning hunter's moon rise, saffron and half muffled in gold-black rags of cloud, over the misty waters of an Orkney loch. Great timing, Jo Whiley!
Simply beautiful. My favourite Kate track so far. Some amazingly emotional melodies and lyrics "...at dawn she is delicate and burning by noon" - I just love that line!
Funny the way she explained where "hunter moon" came from reminds me of a movie titled "lady Hawk" two lovers that has a spell put upon them. He was a wolf by night and she was human. By day she was a Hawk and he was a human. Never to be Human together.
Lovely lady with such a beautiful voice. How can anyone be so talented? And her songs are always so interesting with perfect lyrics. Thanks Kate. July 2022.
Love a good unrequited love song. This reminds me of the Great Gatsby, and of Gatsby's circumstance with Daisy. Lovely and tragic. I recommend this to my English teacher in my notes.
Я когда слушал Ceol fm , всегда представлял что юная девчонка озарная поет . Но так не плохо это удивительно она обладатель этого голоса , что как я юный мальчик прислушиваюсь заваражено к ее песням .
When she speaks her voice sounds quite mature, if I may say so. But when she sings, it sounds so young, somewhat like a twenty-year-old. But both is beautiful to me :-)
Just beautiful - Kate never fails. I cannot wait for this album, and autumn is the perfect season for some new Kate music :-) Can't wait to see her at Christmas time
I have simply loved this song since Kate performed it in Leamington in May, as a taster for the new album. It really struck a chord with me then & I waited with bated breath all summer for release day, when I bought the album at Warwick Arts Centre, Coventry. Every time I see the moon this song comes into my head. Simply magic.
Today we had to answer questions about a piece of text. The text was this song's lyrics. I like the lyrics because they a nice meaning behind it. I love this song
Absolutely glorious, Ruth Jones chose one of Kate’s songs on desert island discs which I loved and so checked out more of her songs this one is stunning
I revisit this gem often. Such beauty, emotionally stirring and gently suspending us in the air, illuminated by the moon. Dancing, flowing... Much love 💙 "Blue"
"La Constellation de Dobby" brought me here :) "Hunter Moon" inspired me while writing one of the most important scenes in my novel. Thank you for this wonderful song that touched my heart. Wish you all the best.
I quite fancy Kate's bras section too, they add body and fullness and rounds out her delightfully earthy vocals although the electronic reverb or something seemed a tad suffocating on this set.
Love Kate Rusby. Have from the first time I heard her. That being said I believe some of her songs could use some vocal harmony here and there to complete the package. JMO.

Well done and well done!
❤❤❤❤❤✌
She is a gift to the forlorn.
She has the ability to heal x
God was having a good day when he created this woman, and her voice…
All Gods days are GOOD.
Why does Kate always bring the longing a beautiful world in her voice?
Oh Kate, you totally capture the emotions of separated lovers the whole world over! May you, who sing so ethereally about the pain, never suffer it yourself. Bless you, y'Yorkshire lass.
A really lovely folk singer! Larry Davies.
More musical beauty in this little gem than most "superstar" singer-songwriters manage in their entire lifetimes.
Certainly so. This gem of a singer really is a phenomenon. Sheer beauty.
This made me cry. Because I've loved someone for so long and we can't be together for he chooses a life that keeps us apart. His demons had taken him away from me. I long for him but he is lost and we belong in 2 different worlds
that's so sad. Feel for you......
Is it just me or is the impossible happening, Kate's perfect voice becoming even more perfect the older she gets.

@@henryordish You're here listening to Kate Rusby and just quoted Patrick Rothfuss. You deserve all the best in your life.
Oh yes x
i cry listening to this song. I dont quite know why, but it'd beautiful. it's beyond beautiful.
I can happily tell you that this far north, the sun and moon get to share the sky together, even if only at the peak of the seasons. :)
Haven't we all loved someone we cannot have, this song is so beautiful ti reaches parts that no other songs can. Kates voice is perfect .
I absolutely love this track. The whole album is terrific and my favourite so far, of all Kate's albums (I've bought every one).

Thank you Kate.
An unbelievably beautiful song. There’s no end to Kate’s talent.
Just... Thank you from St.Petersburg, Russia.
There she is rising now,
My heart it might break,
The birds in her warmth will fly,
My soul it will ache,
And the world comes alive for her,
In awe at her gaze,
Beautiful. How many of us feel about the love in our lives. Kate is a poet.
It's a beautiful lyric. 😚
This is absolutely gorgeous, as you are, and your voice is from heaven above.
i always come back.
This is probably my favourite album, along with ten which I grew up listening to.
Softly the morning light,
Softly the dew,
Softly my soul will bend,
As she comes in view,
At dawn she is delicate,
And burning by noon,
The end of the day will come soon.
Chorus
And the stars in my lonely sky,
Are infinite bright,
And the stars know my soul will fly,
They're holding it tight.
There she is rising now,
My heart it might break,
The birds in her warmth will fly,
My soul it will ache,
And the world comes alive for her,
In awe at her gaze,
And suddenly the sky is ablaze,
Chorus
Say not her name to me,
For I live in the shade,
Briefly I see her,
As she starts to fade,
In silence we pass,
Our path is well worn,
In silence I wait for the dawn.
Chorus
Calmly I drift along,
Oh I will endure,
I only belong to her,
Of that I am sure,
Will I ever hold her,
I cannot presume,
For she's the sun,
I'm only the moon.
Chorus x2
thank you for this it was a great help
Thank you for this 💜
Can never avoid tearing up when Kate sings. Her lyrics are so poignant for every subject she writes about.
Pretty much every time x

Yet another pearl from one of the finest songwriters in the world today
What a talented song writer: sensitive, creative, and wise. I’m so blessed by this music.
I don't know if you will see this, Kate, but if you do, I just want you to know that I love this song so much. You have a brilliant imagination, and a beautiful voice. Keep it up!
Kate Rusby's voice and a Minimoog.... Awesome!!!
Just when you think you've heard her most beautiful song, along comes another!
Just heard this on Radio 2, while watching the just-waning hunter's moon rise, saffron and half muffled in gold-black rags of cloud, over the misty waters of an Orkney loch. Great timing, Jo Whiley!
Just got tickets to see you in Bristol, and I cannot wait...hence watching you on youtube all day... 🤗
Simply beautiful. My favourite Kate track so far. Some amazingly emotional melodies and lyrics "...at dawn she is delicate and burning by noon" - I just love that line!
The lyrics are great
Thanks for bringing us a part of you soul through this song , my tears refuse to go out but the feelings embrace me inside , thanks again.
I loved hearing this live at Whitley Bay Playhouse, such a beautiful song it gives me all the feels!
Funny the way she explained where "hunter moon" came from reminds me of a movie titled "lady Hawk" two lovers that has a spell put upon them. He was a wolf by night and she was human. By day she was a Hawk and he was a human. Never to be Human together.
Kate Rusby you are a gift to us all from heaven
Beautiful song.
If it's true love nothing can keep you apart. If it's not there will be excuses.
This story is like the movie 'Lady Hawke'...amazing film.
Lovely lady with such a beautiful voice. How can anyone be so talented? And her songs are always so interesting with perfect lyrics. Thanks Kate. July 2022.

I adore this song. I just try not to think about the cosmology too hard.
😆👍🏻🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕
Enjoyed listening to this.
When she speaks her voice sounds quite mature, if I may say so. But when she sings, it sounds so young, somewhat like a twenty-year-old. But both is beautiful to me :-)
Some years ago I wrote of her 'little girl's voice' in some songs.
Just beautiful - Kate never fails. I cannot wait for this album, and autumn is the perfect season for some new Kate music :-) Can't wait to see her at Christmas time
....and that's how you make a grown man tear up...
Beautiful! What else to say.
What a joy to listen to this! Thank you Kate.
Beautiful song beautiful voice

Was at Cardiff last night where Kate sang this. Absolutely beautiful and an evening of sheer delight. Thank you Kate!
A lovely gentle waltz.
The most perfect voice. Lovely melody.
Absolutely glorious, Ruth Jones chose one of Kate’s songs on desert island discs which I loved and so checked out more of her songs this one is stunning
This song is just masterfully composed and performed.
It's all so beautiful when she sings

So beautiful!!! Kate is amazing as usual :D
she played this at Malvern theatre Monday night - with a bras section it was amazing I think I actually left the planet at one point
Another stunning performance in Warrington last night!
I quite fancy Kate's bras section too, they add body and fullness and rounds out her delightfully earthy vocals although the electronic reverb or something seemed a tad suffocating on this set.
Stunningly beautiful Music

Oh my, so pleasant for my ears, well done !

Love Kate Rusby. Have from the first time I heard her. That being said I believe some of her songs could use some vocal harmony here and there to complete the package. JMO.
