“Moonlight” is the most recently written song on Now Playing!—hard to believe it’s been nearly 25 years since the remake of Sabrina hit movie theaters. John Williams’ and the Bergman’s Oscar-Nominated song didn’t win that year (1996)—it’s tough to beat a Disney movie song, even when it’s sung by Sting.

Sting went though a stretch of singing standard-like title songs to movies and is quite adept at it, showing that you don’t have to have a great voice to be a good singer. Over the years, “Moonlight” has become something of a standard, appearing now and again on vocalist recordings.

On the album, the band does an excellent job of setting the ambience. The vamp ending taps into a couple moonlight-themed lyrics (see below)—it’s hard to beat the moon for a torch song theme.

If I say I love you
I want you to know,
It’s not because there’s moonlight,
Though it becomes you so.
Ooh, what a little moonlight can do…
Your heart’s a-flutter,
Your words they stutter…
In the moonlight.
