We grow accustomed to the Dark — When Light is put away — As when the Neighbor holds the Lamp To witness her Good bye — Emily Dickinson  They say that the glow of the sky you see at night isn’t starlight but leftover light from the Big Bang. Light is ancient and magical. Away from neon-lit cities, the night is dark, broken by twilight and the rosy-morning glow. Robert E. Jackson has compiled a new album of snapshots taken during these time of change and mystery. As ever, let’s imagine the stories between… I see the bad moon rising I see trouble’s on the way I see earthquakes and lightnin’ I see bad times today Ah, don’t go ’round tonight Well, it’s bound to take your life There’s a bad moon on the rise – Bad Moon Rising by Creedence Clearwater Revival I never cared much for moonlit skies I never wink back at fireflies But now that the stars are in your eyes I’m beginning to see the light – I’m Beginning to See the Light by Ella Fitzgerald & Duke Ellington and His Orchestra Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. So Moses thought, “I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.” When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!” And Moses said, “Here I am.” – Exodus For a moment the last sunshine fell with romantic affection upon her glowing face; her voice compelled me forward breathlessly as I listened – then the glow faded, each light deserting her with lingering regret, like children leaving a pleasant street at dusk. — F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby Well, we drank champagne and danced all night Under electric candlelight She picked me up and sat me on her knee She said, “Little boy, won’t you come home with me? – The Kinks, Lola “Now when the child of morning, rosy-fingered Dawn, appeared, Nestor left his couch and took his seat on the benches of white and polished marble that stood in front of his house. – Homer, The Odyssey They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. – For the Fallen by Laurence Binyon  “We live as we dream – alone….” ― Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness “All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king.” — J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring “All the variety, all the charm, all the beauty of life is made up of light and shadow.” — Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina … Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect offering There is a crack, a crack in everything That’s how the light gets in – Leonard Cohen, Anthem “Yes, the dawn will come. Disappointment, sorrow and despair are all born in midnight, but we may be consoled by the fact that morning will come.” – Martin Luther King Junior Blue moon You saw me standin’ alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own – Blue Moon, Frank Sinatra More from Robert E.

The speculations were true! Megan Moroney is tipping her hat to the Big Dog Daddy, Toby Keith, by covering one of his classics for an Apple Music Session, and she’s joining a handful of other artists in honoring the late, great country music icon. Riley Green, Ashley McBryde, Parker McCollum, Ella Langley, and Tucker Wetmore, have all cut Toby Keith songs for a new Apple Music exclusive playlist, dubbed the Covered Session. The playlist is out now, just in time for the 4th of July: Apple Music’s Toby Keith Covered Session playlist honors Toby’s legacy with covers of some of his biggest hits by @_MeganMoroney, @RileyGreenMusic, @ellalangleymsic, @AshleyMcBryde, @ParkerMcCollum, and @TuckerWetmore. Out now only on @AppleMusic: https://t.co/HwRxjiiSeY pic.twitter.com/QU5QztriSk — Toby Keith (@tobykeith) July 1, 2025 Over the last few months, Megan Moroney has been playing “Who’s Your Daddy” on repeat. From performing the tune live, singing a few lines while hanging out with friends, or throwing down the hit during her sound checks, it was clear that Moroney was going through a big Toby Keith phase. While most thought she was enjoying the tune, and as someone who wears out songs chronically, I was on this team. However, some believed she was teasing fans with a cover of the song on the way. @ohmygodamiok #meganmoroney #countrymusic #fyp #tobykeith ♬ original sound – madi Given that many country stars performed at Toby Keith’s tribute concert last year at Bridgestone Arena, there was also speculation that she might be teasing this song as her choice for a larger tribute album project that was in the works. Releasing this cover during the week of the 4th of July feels right on brand for Toby Keith, and I’m sure he’s smiling from above at that marketing move. When Keith released “Who’s Your Daddy,” he shared that he wanted to record the ballad about a young woman running back to a sugar daddy when her love life went south, but he could never get the melody right. When Keith finally cracked the code on how he wanted to compose the tune, it was better than he ever could imagine. He once said: “It’s everything that I ever wanted to put into a song. It’s got the groove, it’s got the attitude, it’s humorous, it’s about a sugar daddy. And it’s got a real funny little Elvis thing in it, like Viva Las Vegas … it’s got a New Orleans piano in it.”  The playlist also features, Riley Green on Keith’s debut single “Should’ve Been A Cowboy”; Parker McCollum on “Who’s That Man”; Ella singing “Wish I Didn’t Know Now”; Tucker Wetmore performing “As Good As I Once Was”; and the talented Ashley McBryde singing “A Little Less Talk and A Lot More Action.” I know I’ll be rocking out to Apple Music’s Toby Keith Covered Session all weekend long, along with many other Toby Keith classics. Long live the Big Dog Daddy. Check out all the covers performed during the session while you’re here.
