Barking at the moon

I heard a song on my kid's radio station the other day. I instantly loved it. "Barking at the Moon" by Jenny Lewis on the BOLT soundtrack. It made me want to go see the movie. Today, I took the kids and the song is featured a couple times and it is prominent in the "montage" when the dog's transcendence occurs. It made me cry, not in a sad way, but a good-feeling way. I love the singer's voice, I love the tune. I love the lyrics. It has a powerful message of pure being and happiness.

Barking at the Moon - Jenny Lewis
I have got so much to give, I swear I do.
I may not have nine lives, this one feels brand new.
Yes I've lived a good one.
I have tried to be true.
There are some things I never realized, till I met you.
How the wind feels on my cheeks, when I'm barking at the moon.


[Chorus]
There is no home like the one you've got, 'cause that home belongs to you.
Woo Woo! Here I come. Woo Woo! Back to you.
There is no home like the one you've got, 'cause that home belongs to you.


Well I was in trouble, bad. I was so confused.
I may not see in color babe, but I sure can feel blue.
I have been a lot of things, they may not all be true.
My experience was so mysterious, till I met you.
Now the sun may rise in the east, but I'm barking at the moon.


[Chorus]
