Daytime Moon is the latest release from Nuno Henry Silva. Similar to his previous release, it's stripped back and lo-fi. On his Bandcamp page he mentions that some of the songs are from 2019 as well as 2020. It seems to be a compilation album of sorts.
The album begins with “More Often Than Not” which deals with themes like perseverance, will and routine. Musically, it revolves around strummed chords. There are poignant lines such as “You say that you’ll change / But more often than not It's only lies.” My interpretation of “The Worst In You” is that it was about not having the ability to change the ugliest parts that we see in each other. “Falling Apart” is a classic tale of unrequited love. I’m not sure if it was intentional but “Past Lives” felt like the second chapter to “Falling Apart.” My interpretation was that in “Past Lives” he is meeting up with a person that he parted with in “Falling Apart.” “Divide & Conquer” is not about this website. Silva mentions “One of the songs is called Divide & Conquer, but it has nothing to do with you guys. It's just something my old boss used to say a lot.” “Some of Us” seems to revolve around the subject of lone wolves. There are people who like to be in relationships and some who actually prefer a more solitary existence. “Snowfall” is the arguable highlight. The lyrics are like pockets of solace. Silva sings, “And all we have is all we need / All we want is ours to keep / So lift your head up to the sky / And watch the snow fall / Deep into your eyes.” Last up is the instrumental “The Turnaround” which demonstrates his skills on guitar. This release is very similar in spirit and style to his previous albums. If you enjoyed Silva in the past you will enjoy this and if you haven’t heard him before this is a good place to start.
