This song was inspired by an assignment set at school when I was 5. The class had to write a letter to someone who lived on the moon - either Spaceboy or Spacegirl. I chose Spacegirl.
Now that I'm 45, I've finally got round to turning it into a song. I had the idea about ten years ago but could never get the lyrics to quite work. Earlier this year the whole thing suddenly snapped into focus.

Customer feedback for our debut album:
"So I've just listened to your album for the first time. MATE IT BLEW ME AWAY! I'm so impressed. Real quality - really impressed!"
"It's really good. What an amazing achievement."
"Loving the album; have been playing it a lot in the last couple of days."
"I love the guitar work on "Hollow"."
"A Dark Adapted Heart has definitely forged ahead with their own vision on these musical genres. The album is a delivery on big narratives about Life, Love and Loss. I got this album when it came out last year. Definitely worth spending some time with. I'm getting into deeper levels of certain songs after multiple listens. Favourite song is: Without."
"I'm listening to your album again now and I honestly really love it. This is so my style of music so thank you so much for recording it. 😊"
"It sounds ace. Love your voice. Good work!"
"Takes me back to the early days of ABC, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, Human League, and even Sisters of Mercy. An eclectic mix of tunes that wind their way into your head - 'Hollow' and 'Without' my favourites. Looking forward to hearing more!"
"I just want to say I've been listening to the A Dark Adapted Heart album all the way through while on my lunch break, and it's really great. It has variety and an overall sound of its own, tons of catchy earworms and melodies, and some cracking lead guitar playing - and knowing what an epic journey it has taken you to complete, I'm well impressed and wanted to tell you how great it is!"
