"Talking to the Moon" is a song by singer-songwriter Bruno Mars, from his debut studio album, ''Doo-Wops & Hooligans'' (2010), included as its seventh track. The song was written by Bruno Mars, Philip Lawrence, Ari Levine, Albert Winkler and Jeff Bhasker, while being produced by The Smeezingtons and co-produced by Bhasker. It was conceived as a big power jazz ballad. Throughout its lyrics, Mars describes a failed relationship. The track was first unveiled in Mars' debut extended play (EP) ''It's Better If You Don't Understand''. Upon the release of ''Doo-Wops & Hooligans'', "Talking to the Moon" received generally favorable reviews from music critics. Following the soundtrack of Brazilian telenovela ''Insensato Coração'', Warner Music decided to release it as an official single in Brazil, after receiving high airplay. The song charted at number one on the Brazilian airplay charts. It has been covered by a number of artists. ==Background== "Talking to the Moon" was first recorded by Mars for his debut extended play, ''It's Better If You Don't Understand'', released on May 11, 2010, under Fueled by Ramen. When asked about the lyrical content of the EP, Mars stated, "I just write songs that I strongly believe in and that are coming from inside. There's no tricks. It's honesty with big melodies. And I'm singing the s * * * out of them." The track was later included on his debut studio album, ''Doo-Wops & Hooligans'', released on October 4, 2010, almost five months later, under Elektra and Atlantic.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Doo-Wops & Hooligans )〕 It was also recorded an acoustic piano version included on the deluxe edition of the album and in the charity compilation album ''Songs for Japan'', released on March 25, 2011. Ari Levine from The Smeezingtons stated that "Talking To The Moon" was one of his favorite songs on the album ''Doo-Wops & Hooligans''. He explained that, "We only had the first verse and the horns, but we knew that it was great. We then had three different bridges and we spent a lot of time trying to find out which one was the best. Jeff Bhasker is a fantastic musician, and he helped write that track. I think we tried to arrange and produce this in four different ways, mostly trying to figure out what kind of drums to put on." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Talking to the Moon (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
