Today the moss turns 10! Wowsers time has flown. It was the first song I ever wrote. Here is a video of me performing the song today on its anniversary.

Lyrics
Legend has it that the moss grows on
The north side of the trees
Well, legend has it when the rain comes down
All the worms come up to breathe

Well, legend has it when the sunbeams come
All the plants, they eat them with their leaves
Well, legend has it that the world spins 'round
On an axis of 23 degrees

But have you heard the story of the rabbit in the moon?
Or the cow that hopped the planets while straddling a spoon
Or she, who leapt up mountains, while whistling up a tune
And swapped her songs with swallows while riding on a broom

Well, we can all learn things, both many and a-few
From that old hunched-up woman who lived inside a shoe
Or the girl that sang by day and by night she ate tear soup
Or the man who drank too much and he got the brewers' droop

Come listen, all ye fair maids, to how the moral goes
Nobody knew and nobody knows
How the Pobble was robbed of his twice five toes
Or how the Dong came to own a luminous nose

Or how the Jumblies went to sea in a sieve that they rowed
And came to shore by the Chankly Bore where the Bong-trees grow
Where the Jabberwocky's small green tentacles do flow
And the Quangle Wangle plays in the rain and the snow

But have you heard the story of the rabbit in the moon?
Or the cow that hopped the planets while straddling a spoon
Or she, who leapt up mountains, while whistling up a tune
And swapped her songs with swallows while riding on a broom

Well, we can all learn things, both many and a-few
From that old hunched-up woman who lived inside a shoe
Or the girl that sang by day and by night she ate tear soup
Or the man who drank too much and he got the brewers' droop

Legend has it that the moss grows on
The north side of the trees
Well, legend has it when the rain comes down
All the worms come up to breathe

Well, legend has it when the sunbeams come
All the plants, they eat them with their leaves
Well, legend has it that the world spins 'round
On an axis of 23 degrees

But have you heard the story of the rabbit in the moon?
Or the cow that hopped the planets while straddling a spoon
Or she, who leapt up mountains, while whistling up a tune
And swapped her songs with swallows while riding on a broom

Well, we can all learn things, both many and a-few
From that old hunched-up woman who lived inside a shoe
Or the girl that sang by day and by night she ate tear soup
Or the man who drank too much and he got the brewers' droop

My son recently introduced me to this song and since then we discovered playing Cosmo Sheldrake’s music is one of the only things that helps with my senior rescue dog’s anxiety. So, thank you Mr. Sheldrake. Your music has given my 14 year old rescue dog a much needed break from shaking uncontrollably.
I adopted my dog my dog three years ago. He’d been caught wandering the streets by our local pound who gave him to the humane society. He was estimated to be 11 years old at the time and he sat in a kennel for 8 months because no one wanted a senior dog. Come Along is his favorite song ❤

I've only known the moss, (and Cosmo's music in general) for about 5 years, but this is one of the few songs that has never left my playlist in that time

Two days ago I was listening to The Moss in my car as I was turning out of a parking lot in the rain. I looked over at the adjacent lot and there was a man in a short black coat with a black umbrella, moving around rather clumsily, perhaps his version of dancing in the rain - turning circles, opening & closing his umbrella while swinging his arm above his head and around. It was a perfect reflection of The Moss. I got such delight from what I seeing and hearing that I had to laugh out loud! Not laughing at the dancing man, but rather the incredible synchronicity of the man and the music 💕. Cosmo, I adore your creations and your way of being. Happy 10th Anniversary of The Moss!

I remember first listening to this from that flipnote animation- and I just had to look up the artist! Your sound and lyrics are something else entirely, and you honestly deserve so much more appreciation.

The Moss isn't my favourite of your songs, not by a long shot, but it was the first of them I heard, and as such still holds a special place in my heart

Lovely to see it back

So happy to have found Cosmo a few years ago. Frankly, the non-sense gremlin/mushroom core style just made me get through very hard moments in my life, trying to hang on while everyhing around me seemed completely absurd and 'The Moss' somehow made it make sense, like there was harmony in the madness, that harmony alone was the goal and true meaning of the suffering and pain I was going though. Thanks Cosmo. You're a gift to us, you've been one for me, happy to be alive and listen to your music

Ever since I discovered your music through the moss, it has been the one constant inspiration in anything I have made. The amount of creative energy your music ignites in me is more than I thought I had in me. Thank you! You are such a blessing, truly.

Cant believe this song is already 10 years old now!! Thank you for making such a wonderful song, I animated it a few years back and had a lot of fun working with the rhythms of the song. Even after listening to it 100s of times for it I'm still able to listen to it like its the first time : D
