about

As with many of these portraits, I hadn’t known Kia for long when I wrote this. Although it’s very short, I managed to squeeze in many aspects of her personality. Kia is energetic and spirited - she loves to dance and sing, so I tried to conjure that image. I pictured her on a beach at night, singing under a tropical moon (her last name is ‘Moon’). The ocean swoons at her beauty, prostrating itself at her feet.

The overarching form is that of a joyful declamation, fading to dramatic softness in a minor key, before returning to a beautiful major chord.

lyrics

Kia sings aloud under the moon
She makes the ocean swoon
