Half Moon is a lunar phase coinciding with neap tides, which are often easier for seafarers than spring tides. This would apply to the first quarter and last (third) quarter moon; in both cases, half of the moon's disk is lit. A crescent is a geometrical and symbolic moon shape.

Blind Pilot is an American indie folk band based in Portland, Oregon. Their debut album, 3 Rounds and a Sound, reached number 13 on the Billboard Top Digital Albums chart.
The band completed a bicycle tour in 2008, biking from Bellingham, Washington to San Diego, California, carrying their instruments on custom bicycle trailers they fashioned themselves. They made more than two dozen stops along the way, including Port Townsend, Seattle, Olympia, Portland, Corvallis, Eugene, Coos Bay, Arcata and Santa Cruz.
In 2009, Blind Pilot added four more touring members, Luke Ydstie (upright bass, backing vocals), Kati Claborn (banjo, dulcimer, backing vocals), Ian Krist (vibraphones), and Dave Jorgensen (keyboards, trumpet), to match the sound of their album, 3 Rounds and a Sound. The group started a new U.S. tour in March 2009, the first with the six-member lineup. They headlined in clubs across the country. The band also filled support slots for Langhorne Slim and Gomez on a handful of dates during this tour. In May 2009, the band traveled to Europe for a series of gigs opening for Counting Crows and The Hold Steady. Blind Pilot returned to the U.S. in June to join The Decemberists on the road as their opening act. They followed this run with another tour of clubs in the Northeast, Mid-West and Canada.
Janis Lyn Joplin (January 19, 1943 – October 4, 1970) was an American singer and songwriter from Port Arthur, Texas. As a youth Joplin was ridiculed by her fellow students due to her unconventional appearance and personal beliefs. She later sang about her experience at school through her song "Ego Rock". Early in her life, Joplin cultivated a rebellious and unconventional lifestyle, becoming a beatnik poet. She began her singing career as a folk and blues singer in San Francisco, playing clubs and bars with her guitar and auto-harp.
Joplin first rose to prominence in the late 1960s as the lead singer of the psychedelic-acid rock band Big Brother and the Holding Company, and later as a solo artist with her more soulful and bluesy backing groups, The Kozmic Blues Band and The Full Tilt Boogie Band. She was one of the more popular acts at the Monterey Pop Festival and later became one of the major attractions to the Woodstock festival and the Festival Express train tour.
Janis Joplin only charted five singles in her life but her hits and other popular songs from throughout her short four year career include "Down On Me", "Bye, Bye Baby", "Coo Coo", "Summertime", "Piece of My Heart", "Turtle Blues", "Ball 'n' Chain", "Try (Just A Little Bit Harder)", "Maybe", "To Love Somebody", "Kozmic Blues", "Work Me, Lord", "Move Over", "Cry Baby", "A Woman Left Lonely" "Get It While You Can", "My Baby", "Trust Me", "Mercedes Benz", "One Night Stand", "Raise Your Hand" and her only number one hit, "Me and Bobby McGee".
Halfway home in the hilltop trees
And all our footprints in the snow
And the evening glow leaving
Low night noise in the wintertime
I wake beside you on the floor
Counting your breathing
Cause I can't see nothing in this half moon
Lay me down if i should lose you.
Halfway-working on a worn-out house
And all our friends the ragged crows
And aching bones whining.
Where are we when the twilight comes?
The dark of valley and the breeze
And the frozen leaves chiming?
Cause I can't see nothing in this half moon
Fell the dark night
And no starlight to light the room
And no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no half moon
Fell an old tune
Under trumpets by 'A Blue Lagoon'
And no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no half moon
No, no, no, no, no, no
No, no half moon
It's halfmoon at the halfmoon
Everybody's here today
It's halfmoon at the halfmoon
And I guess, everybody wants to stay
More than a little bit longer,
Hey we all need a little more time
for there's a little more song here,
with a little more rhyme
Here I don't want to I don't have to
that were friends here is all we ask of you
at the halfmoon.
It's halfmoon at the halfmoon
Everybody sing hey! hey! hey!
It's halfmoon at the halfmoon
And I guess, everybody wants to play
More than a little bit longer,
Hey we all need a little more time
For there's a little more of yours here
and a little more of mine
Here I don't want to I don't have to
that were friends here is all we ask of you
at the halfmoon.
Here I don't want to I don't have to
High up above me hangs a halfmoon
Here I don't want to no one asks me to
come be our friend here at the halfmoon
