"Man in the Moon" by Tony DuPuis

Lyrics by Tony DuPuis & Emma Baber

 Mouiller is Cajun-French for Rain-yet in this song, it's a metaphor for life's many challenges.  "Mouiller" reveals the artistry of a writer who can take a simple, almost childlike plea and turn it into a deep, lived‑in confession. The ballad moves with the patience of real weather, verses tracing years of near‑victories and sudden disappointments while the refrain circles back like a storm that just won’t break. By naming the rain “Mouiller,” the song quietly marries French‑inflected Louisiana culture with universal heartbreak, giving the chorus a chant‑like quality that feels timeless. The bridge’s image of “clouds of life” rolling by lifts the whole piece into a more spiritual space, where the cry “Go away, Mouiller!” sounds less like complaint and more like a prayer for mercy. It’s the kind of ballad where melody, language, and metaphor lock together, leaving the listener humming the hook long after the skies clear. ***
