Talking to the Moon

This morning while I was getting ready for work, I listened to all the Bruno Mars songs I own (which are all his songs, because I love his work). His voice is just so incredible and his tunes are just so catchy and I love singing along with him. Even all his collaborations, like 'Young, wild and free' (love it!) or 'Lighters' (also love it!) and 'Billionaires' (and once again, love it!). But today, because I listened to every song that he has written, I'm going to talk about my absolute favourite song of his and one of my top favourite songs in general, which is the very underrated song "Talking to the moon"

Even though I don't like the 'Twilight saga' due to a stubborn protest I made when I was younger, however the soundtrack to all of those movies, where really good. 'Talking to the moon' was in the soundtrack, but I do not hold that against it, because this song is just so beautiful. I'm really addicted to the sadder song, so even the bop-py and uplifting songs of Bruno Mars, I still gravitate towards his slower ones, like 'When I was your man.' But the amount of times I'm lying down and just staring off into space and just spontaneously start singing:

At night when the stars light up my room
I sit by myself, talking to the moon.
Trying to get to you.
In hopes you're on the other side talking to me too.
Or am I a fool who sits alone talking to the moon?

And I end up belting it out if I'm home by myself, especially near the ending... specifically when it's 2:47 into the song (the version I have, which I actually couldn't find on youtube, there are all these different kind of versions but none of them are the same as what I have, which is weird), when he goes all out and sings with all his heart and soul. Such a powerful ending, but this version below doesn't have it... craziness (sigh). So I highly encourage you all to explore the different versions of his song, because it is absolutely dazzling.
