Paddy and Grey had been playing together for about four years by the time they started working in earnest on their second CD, which came eventually to be called Dark of the Moon. The project remained untitled for quite a while. Later, the working title became Child of My Heart, also the name of a traditional jig on the CD, and remained so until quite a late stage. That tune is one of Grey's favorites, very tender, mysterious and deep.

By the time they finished recording, Paddy had decided to make a major change in his life. Over several years he had become more and more passionate about traditional Greek music, and now he had reached a point where he needed to put his whole musical self into only that. He made plans to move to Greece.
