"Full Moon, Empty Heart" is a Tanya Donelly song from Star, the debut album Belly released on January 25, 1993. By then Donelly had walked away from both Throwing Muses and the Breeders, quitting after the Breeders' Safari EP in 1992 to put everything into her own band, and Star was the payoff after two EPs, Slow Dust and Gepetto.
She wrote the words and the music, sings it and plays guitar alongside Thomas Gorman, with Fred Abong on bass and Chris Gorman on drums and percussion, the same four who formed the band. Belly produced it with Tracy Chisholm, who also engineered, and Graham Lewis and Linelle assisted.
