Colin Hay：Meaning of Blue Bay Moon Songmeaning

Colin Hay's song, "Blue Bay Moon," tells the story of a mysterious town called Blue Bay Moon, where time seems to stand still and the tide is never on time. He recalls hearing stories about the town before he ever arrived and how those stories have become distant memories. As he walks around the town, he feels a sense of loneliness and wonders in silence as he stands on a dune. It's then that he sees mysterious lights shining over the town. But no one else seems to believe him, and he becomes consumed by the memory of seeing those lights. Despite the skepticism of others, Hay knows that he is the only one to have seen the lights and that they will never leave him. The song speaks to the idea of holding onto a memory or experience that no one else may understand or believe, but that still holds great significance to the individual.
