After a while, I can grow weary of in-love and out-of-love songs, and this album does begin to drag occasionally for me. However, there are some songs that stand out with the shear creativity of how the situations are presented. "I Give" puts a one-sided relationship into the metaphor of a card game, and I found it easy to relate to. I think everyone has found themselves struggling with imbalanced relationships, any kind of relationship — family, friends, lover, etc. — and the song is non-specific enough to speak to all of them.

"Marine Layer" uses the meteorological sciences to describe a relationship gone sour. I had to look up the term to understand what it means, but even so, the context in the song is enough to get the gist of it. The refrain is almost hypnotic, and the arrangement is subtle enough to allow the beauty of the songwriting to shine through. It's a good example of how to end an album in a way that encourages the listener to hit the play button again.

Pull of the Moon is a pop/rock album with solid songwriting, and you've got to give it credit for that. Even after just a few listens, I had hooks stuck in my head on repeat (such as the chorus for "Set To Fly"). Sure, it has some weaknesses (as mentioned already), but Peimer is consistently good at delivering well-crafted lyrics, which in the end are able to make up for some lack-luster arrangements. Not to mention, she's got a set of pipes that can easily rival the likes of Stevie Nicks or Sarah McLachlan.
