Mellow songs about the moon.

Okay so I kind of want to make a playlist of mellow songs, mainly about the moon. A perfect example would be Virginia Moon by Foo Fighters. Anyone have any suggestions that are somewhat like that song?

    Looking through my library, I've got:

    The Dreaming Moon - Magnetic Fields

    Sail to the Moon - Radiohead

    Waiting for the Moon to Rise - Belle and Sebastian

    Paint the Moon - The Czars

    Moon Child - M83

    Goodnight Moon - Shivaree (not too mellow)

    Moon Song - Bob Schneider

    Harvest Moon - Neil Young

    New Star in the Sky - Air

    I hope that's what you are looking for.

    But, if you are after mere parlor tricks, you will be sorely disappointed. For if I reach behind your ear, it will not be a nickel I pull out, but your very soul!

    Fly Me To the Moon, Frank Sinatra.

    Jealous of the Moon, Nickel Creek

    And Modest Mouse has an entire album named the Moon and Antarctica, but alot of that isn't exactly mellow.

    I would like to pause for a moment, to talk about my penis.
    My penis is like a toddler. A toddler—who is a perfectly normal size for his age—on a long road trip to what he thinks is Disney World. My penis is excited because he hasn’t been to Disney World in a long, long time, but remembers a time when he used to go every day. So now the penis toddler is constantly fidgeting, whining “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? How about now? Now? How about... now?”
    And Disney World is nowhere in sight.

    Van Morrison - Moondance
    King Harvest - Dancing in the Moonlight

    Moon Over Parma, aka the old theme song from the Drew Carey Show? Pretty mellow.

    Also, although I wouldn't call it mellow really, I've always liked Destination Moon by They Might Be Giants

    Harvest Moon - Bedlam ( totally different tune from Neil Young's)
    Nights in White Satin - Moody Blues (Bit of a reach, but the spoken word at the end is all about the moon, and it might be a good last track for the mix)
