Content

Track three on Moonlight Beach, Scoobert’s cover of King Harvest’s “Dancing in the Moonlight,” retitled “(Beach)” to tie the song to Moonlight State Beach in Encinitas. The album essay treats covers as part of the record’s social, hang-out surface: less solipsistic bedroom pop, more “come outside.”

@beformer announced the cover on official Spotify Chill Vibes (Feb 25, 2023) — a major editorial playlist ahead of the LP. @beformer followed with Indie Covers and Feel Good (Mar 23, 2023) in the same post as Feels So Good. The Beformer promo uses Spotify’s Indie Covers playlist artwork — Remi Wolf, who was in USC Thornton’s Popular Music Program at the same time as Luke Walton; they knew each other at school. FIP) logged plays for this version alongside Walk Don't Run during the Moonlight Beach cycle.

DistroKid cover, original by King Harvest. No lyrics published here.
