Positive Vibes Only: Nataly Dawn Learns To Let Go With A Delicate Performance Of "Over The Moon"

Nataly Dawn offers a tender acoustic performance of "Over the Moon," a song that grapples with change and the passage of time.

GRAMMYs/Jul 3, 2022 - 06:08 pm

A singer/songwriter and one half of the duo Pomplamoose, Nataly Dawn has a special power for interlaying intricate lyrical ideas against a backdrop of delicate, tender melodies and mesmerizing vocal tone.

In this episode of Positive Vibes Only, Dawn shows off all of those talents in a performance of her "Over the Moon." Immerse yourself in the luminous world of a song that grapples with fear that a relationship will change — but ultimately learns to let go and move into uncharted new territory. 

The acoustic performance isn't too far from how the song was recorded in the studio. Dawn explained to Ditty TV that she and her bandmates kept things simple for the studio version of the song, including only slide guitar, acoustic guitar and vibraphone.

She also explained that the song speaks to a chapter of her relationship with her husband — and Pomplamoose collaborator — Jack Conte. "For me, the song is about feeling like you've lost something precious that you didn't fully appreciate until it was gone," Dawn said.

"My relationship with Jack has gone through so many wonderful and difficult phases. And every time we move from one chapter to the next it's difficult to let go," she continued. "So this is a song about being stuck. About not wanting to let go of a time in life that was precious."

"Over the Moon" is one of 13 tracks on Dawn's new solo album, Gardenview, which she released in June 2022.

"No higher name/ That's worthy of praise/ That can free us from our chains," Selah declares in the chorus. "Author of faith/ Your kingdom reigns/ Jesus, The Name above all names/ You're the one that we proclaim/ The eternal God who saves."

Beginning April 19, Selah will perform a string of live shows, including the Singing in the Sun Festival in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and appearances at the 40 Days and Nights of Gospel Music at the Ark Encounter in Williamstown, Kentucky.

According to their artist biography, Hall says, "From the beginning, our words have been comfort and encouragement, and I don't think that has ever changed as a part of our mission... God has let us take the gift of music and share it and do something that could help someone.

Positive Vibes Only: Stars Go Dim Encourages You To Be Fearless With A Performance Of "Live Like That"

One-man band Stars Go Dim unveils the freedom you'll find when you "see yourself through Heaven's eyes" in this inspiring rendition of his 'Grace In The Wilderness' B-side, "Live Like That."

GRAMMYs/Apr 1, 2024 - 05:00 pm

Everyone has low points — moments of feeling "unworthy, not good enough," or "like you won't ever win." But as Christian pop rock singer Stars Go Dim suggests, if you "see yourself through Heaven's eyes," you will become the most fearless, unapologetic version of yourself.

"Would you open up your broken heart/ Show them who you really are/ Leave your regret in the past?" Stars Go Dim (aka Chris Cleveland) questions in the chorus. "You can live like that."

In this episode of Positive Vibes Only, Cleveland delivers a moving performance of the uplifting track, sitting at a piano in a serene outdoor setting.

"Live Like That" is a B-side from Stars Go Dim's 2022 LP, Grace In The Wilderness, which also features two of his most notable singles, "Authority (In The Name Of Jesus)" and "Satisfied." As he revealed in an Instagram post upon the album's release, "This music represents me as an artist more than any other music I've ever released."

Stars Go Dim is currently on the Authority In The Name Of Jesus Tour alongside The Band Table. The trek is named after his single "Authority (In The Name Of Jesus)," one of two tracks that Stars Go Dim released in 2023; he also released a collaboration with Nigerian Christian singer Chidiya Ohiagu, "Already Blessed."
