One of Cathal Coughlan's greatest songs and one of the finest ever written. Baleful, beautiful. Cathal sings like a God. Originally on the Bertie's Brochures album. Now on the 'best of' CD2 of the Viva Dead Ponies reissue. "Behind the moon, when all hope has gone..."

Brought to you purely to encourage interest in this greatest of all bands. If you like it buy the VDP album. Every track is fantastic.

Thanks for the comment. The Viva Dead Ponies reissue (which includes Behind the Moon) should be fairly easy to obtain via Amazon. On Amazon.co.uk you can currently buy Bertie's Brochures for 99pence (about a dollar and a half).

Thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed it. I love CC's melodic ballad type songs too. One of the reasons why FM were such a great band is that they could do songs like this (or Bertie's Brochures, Scarecrow etc) just as well as they could do furious, blistering tracks like Ceausescu, Evil Man or Angel's Delight. As you might have guessed, I'm kinda messianic about their greatness, lol.
