Fly Me To The Moon

About the Artist

Australian country storyteller Simon Orton Music returns with a heartfelt reimagining of Frank Sinatra’s Fly Me To The Moon, the Bart Howard classic that has become one of the most recognisable love songs of all time. But this version is not a big-band recreation. Simon slows the song down, strips away the rush, and reshapes it into something intimate, country-warm and emotionally exposed. Where Sinatra’s version carries elegance, swing and romantic confidence, Simon’s interpretation leans into gravelly vocals, tenderness, restraint and lived experience. Every line is given room to breathe. The familiar lyrics become less about fantasy and more about the quiet miracle of finding the one true love of your life — someone selfless, steady and real. In Simon’s hands, Fly Me To The Moon becomes a song about love that asks for nothing but the heart. It speaks to the kind of soulmate connection that is not built on money, image or performance, but on peace, loyalty, emotional safety and pure affection. The moon becomes more than a romantic symbol — it becomes the place the heart goes when it finally feels safe enough to rise again. This release carries the ache of a man who has lived, lost, rebuilt and still chosen to love. It is romantic, but not shallow. Tender, but not fragile. The performance feels like a slow dance in a quiet room, a late-night confession, and a grateful prayer for the person who makes life feel whole again. The arrangement moves away from big-band polish and into a gentler country space, allowing the song to linger with warmth, forgiveness and emotional gravity. It is made for late-night listening, quiet reflection, slow dancing with a true soulmate, and remembering that love can still arrive with grace after life has left its scars. Simon Orton Music has built a growing reputation for reimagining familiar songs through country storytelling, emotional honesty and lived experience. His version of Fly Me To The Moon continues that path — not as a copy, but as a respectful reinvention of a beloved classic. At its core, this release is about being truly seen. It is about the person who does not demand perfection but offers shelter. The person who helps old wounds soften. The person who makes ordinary moments feel sacred. For anyone who has found love later, carefully, unexpectedly or after heartbreak, Simon’s version may feel deeply personal.
