If all the beasts were gone, man would die from a great loneliness of the spirit. For whatever happens to the beasts soon happens to man. - Chief Seattle
Me too! I've always wanted to just be free of problems and responsibilities it's a bad wish but I want so badly to run through the woods with the critters and live in harmony and peace
Everyone’s making stories for the song, but somehow, no-one’s come to the more obvious conclusions: The wolf family lives in an area devastated by environmental destruction. This would be the “forgotten land”, “where the skies were red, the trees were dead, and the rivers were none” referred to in the song. The father leaves often to seek food, which is difficult to find, and is often gone for long periods of time. The mother grows sickly. The child attempts to heal the family by attempting to find the missing father, but gets lost. (I’d like to think there’s a happy ending, though.) This could also be a metaphor for a child attempting to bring together parents suffering through an unhealthy relationship. (Which could also bring in a twist on the “raised by wolves” story, if the wolves are in fact just struggling people) Neither of these meanings are being discussed much in the comments, for some reason.
I always thought it was the second thing you mentioned, about the struggling relationship between the parents and family. Also sounds like it might be in the perspective of the child
A brilliant duo. Their English is so pure -- I never would have guessed they were Swedish. Thank you so much for promoting them here -- and especially for giving them the REAL hifi treatment they deserve. Wouldn't it be great if every uploader had the same respect?
This song got me through dark times with a lot of verbal abuse and ptsd and if it weren’t for the music I listened to I probably wouldn’t be here, thank you
As a musician, world instrument collector, and mythology nerd, I can honestly say this is the only song ive heard in the last several years that is truly inspiring.
This song heavily reminds me of Wolf Children, which is good because it's one of my favorite movies but also bad because thinking about and watching Wolf Children makes me cry. :')
For people who want the actual description. It's about a human mother raising her children which are the kids of a werewolf of sorts. Anyways something happened to the dad so we see the mother raising her two kids on her own. We also see the kids deciding what kind of life they want to live.
o3o A domestic dog is orphaned as a pup and found and raised by wolves. He is raised to believe he's a wolf but soon realizes that he's not. His Adopted mother is a low-ranking member of the pack and so she's always thin and scruffy because she barely gets any food. His "father", he mate is distant and not very loving to either of them and is always wondering away from the pack. He later finds that the pack leader killed his actual mother when he found her on the territory but took pity on her only pup and brought him into the pack to be raised. The dog lives his life as a wolf, but his longing to be with humans is too strong, so he decides to leave the pack.
Or on a less literal sense, a girl is born in the poor part of a city, her mother works long hours can barely support them and often gives up opportunities for her only daughter, hence worn and thin. Her father was never around, she grew up hearing about him but never really knew him, due to trouble he causes he moves around, she only occasionaly sees him and its usually when he's leaving because of a fight with her mother. Hence drifter and shape shifter. Growing up her only sense of happiness was her best friend who was slightly older, her holy light. When she felt down her friend kept her spirits up by planning to leave the city and get a big house in the country side to live in. This kept her happy as she grew up being the daughter of a notorious 'wolf' in her city. After years of barely getting by she starts to wish for a normal life, she runs through the city in sadness, the setting sun is her only free time as she runs through the buildings that rise above her like dead trees and the clogged gutters, all around her are the signs of urban decay. the city's just a memory of a much happier time in her life, dead trees and dried rivers. She searches for some sort of comfort but can only find shame in her living conditions and her disgrace at having a deadbeat dad. In her sadness she only has old, torn books, children's books with pictures about wide open country sides and happy families.she feels like she once had that but knows its just a trick, someone like her could never enjoy such a happy time. Seeing the happy pictures now falling out of the book she carefully tapes them back in, reliving happier times when she read those books with her friend long ago.
There is no sweeter magic than this song playing at dawn, driving through unfamiliar, country backroads that are only interrupted by gravel roads turning off your own and small homes with generous fields. No gentler longing than staring through that glass at something so comfortably new
I think it's about a young girl whose been a werewolf her whole life. Her mother died when she was very young, but appears in her dreams damaged and thin. Her father is constantly mourning her mother. But at night, on the full moon, the girl runs beside her father, always searching for a way to bring her mother back in a 'forgotten land'.
This story moreless went down like this...a young girl who was thrown out into the dark forest by a step mother who was jealous of loved she never expressed or knew of such .The lil girl was taught very early on how survive through such darkness & evil invested with vicious soul devouring creatures everywhere. The girl carries this secret weapon unheard of by many but only a few knew the type of weapon & this weapon helped her navigate to & fro in her darkest & coldest hours, she did collect countless battle scars, it only made tougher & all the wiser. continuously she was nourished, her belly full of richest knowledge & wisdom. She decided 2 cast a spell on the meanest baddest most fearless beast in the forest, Quickly he begin to fall unnder the spell of her big sparkling bluest eyes for this Wild beast had never seen such color or even the blue skies before...in a twinkling of a eye he was captured never leave her side until death does them part. an finely a huge burden aweight was lifted and she begun to sing & sing , forever dancing around trees of the forest all night she would sing and dance like never before in such darkness never to fear again to dance and sing around such vicious spiritless animals ... Her Father pleases had found much favor in this wil beast dog. Grateful he was & fed him only the richest food from his own table always showing the wolf dog grace for all things past, presence & future unconditional love Seeing past the beast that was within such wild creature who continue to lust & devour man... This bond , this Love stronger then anything which passes all understanding ,never failing, they were bonded by the dark of the forest & the Light of her Fathers house. Only to use her secret weapon to find herself around such darlen forest never to ever separate from this Mighty & All Powerful weapon she contain within hidden from all
+Will Arend YaaaaaY!!!! I can admit I'm not a normal person x3 But I did happen to stumble on this song from my recommendations! :D!!! Plus Furries confuse me......... and I haven't seen a tv show with this song. Totally new to it ^w^
This song, like, changed my life. I'm glad you made this video. And, honestly, this saved my life. I totally forgot the name of the song, when I looked at my playlist XD
My interpretation of this song is quite different from a lot of the others here, but hey, I may as well chip in. Here's how I see this song. "Wolf mother" is not actually a wolf, but represents nature. "Let me hear you sing" to me reminds me of a lyric from one particular carol; "And Heav'n and Nature sing" Nature can sing with life- The sounds of birds and rushing water in a forest, for example; But this forest is dead, nature is "Worn and thin", "The Sun has set, the trees are dead and the rivers are none" So Nature can no longer 'sing' here. "Wolf Father" could represent Time- Father Time as opposed to Mother Nature, "Let me see you run"; Time seems to have stopped in this dead place, the years "don't smile anymore", possibly meaning that this place was once plentiful and beautiful, but it is no longer. (Think- Looking back on better years through an old photograph) The singer is from the perspective of the life itself, the animals that died in the forest, and the song is a plea for the "Wolf Child"- Humans, to "Lend amending hand" to the place they destroyed.
The 'wolf mother' or the mother, works all day to make the house clean and then goes to work. Spending little to no time with the child. She takes a job and keeps it a secret from the child, and tells the father that night. She doesn't know, but the child heard and hid in their room. The father can't sleep as he thinks about it all night. As he goes to work and when he gets back he goes immediately to bed. As the mother and father sleep, the child runs away. They look for anything at all that would be better than what they are doing. But only finds land that their species destroyed. Dead trees and empty rivers. As they keep looking they get lost. And they begin to cry with lost hope, the mother finds them. And almost immediately gets angry. She tells the child not to run away. But later that night, the child runs. Finding the forest and planting a single seed, maybe it would make a change... *O THAT, THAT WAS FUN*
sooooo the child (or from what I see I think you mean kids) runs away bc mother found a jobe and she won't tell it to the child for some magical reason, and father can't sleep bc mother found a work? :'D wut?

~Lyrics~ Wolf-mother, where you been? You look so worn, so thin You're a taker, devils-maker Let me hear you sing, hey-ya hey-ya Wolf-father, at the door You don't smile anymore You're a drifter, shape-shifter Let me see you run, hey-ya hey-ya Holy light over the night Oh, keep the spirit strong Watch it grow, child of war Oh, keep holdin' on When I run through the deep dark forest long After this begun Where the sun would set The trees were dead And the rivers were none And I hope for a trace To lead me back home from this place But there was no sound there was only me, and my disgrace Wolf-mother, where you been? You look so worn, so thin You're a taker, devils-maker Let me hear you sing, hey-ya hey-ya Wolf-father, at the door You don't smile anymore You're a drifter, shape-shifter Let me see you run, hey-ya hey-ya Wayward winds, a voice that sings Of a forgotten land See it fall, child of war Oh, lend a mending hand When I run through the deep dark forest long After this begun Where the sun would set The trees were dead And the rivers were none And I hope for a trace To lead me back home from this place But there was no sound there was only me, and my disgrace
I love this song! This sing actually caused me to have these beautiful visions of my Therian pack members and I. We were all in our Therian animal forms. We were running through a large pine forest. There were no humans, only wild animals.
I'm here and I'm queer. I actually found this song from my mother. She used to play all of their songs when we went on long road trips when I lived in Oregon. This song in specific now reminds me of the place I used to live, of colorful trees and large mountains, foggy mornings, tie dye shirts and blackberries, rain and the smell of wet pavement. It's nice, really. I guess I found this song through something I miss and I'm glad other people like it just as much as I do!
I randomly remembered the lyrics and didnt know what song it was from but then i wanted to listen to this for no particular reason and this was the song.
I created a story inspired by this, there was a second part, buuut i got kinda...bleeeh and didn't finish it :V Here's what survived (write your own story instead of stealing mine, if anyone steals this tell me) ; A long time ago, there was a wolf. They were meant to serve an important purpose, to help change human's view of wolf. However, something went wrong, they went near a farm, and was shot. They still hadn't fulfilled their mission, so, the wolf went looking, for a form to enter. After looking for a long time, he found an unborn human girl, soon to be born, as the girl dreamt they made an eventual agreement that they'd share the same form, vessel, whatever you want to call it, of the unborn girl. When she was born, she was overwhelmed with all the new things and forgot her agreement, though the wolf soul was still there. The girl would pretend to be a wolf often, the wolf soul would kinda ''take over'' a bit more at times, creating bumps in her learning english due to suddenly thinking in all but words again, caused her to bite others, etc... Time went on, she forgot more and more, but due to puberty, and therefore wanting to suppress the wolfishness, the wolf got stronger, more suppressed in return, more stronger... (I'd originally thought of a story like this, then i remembered ''oh wait how does this fit with the song'' and switched course.) Time went on, after many many hardships, the girl got married and had children. However, the children shared a trait of the girl... She ended up creating a bloodline of wolf-souled humans, whether it was small amounts of wolf or almost entirely wolf to the point they could hardly function on 2 legs, there was wolf in all of them. This was, again, to help the view of wolves, to help with the preserving of endangered species (which most of them had a passion for), etc. Some were slaughtered, some suppressed the wolf their whole life, some took it on near fully and became primitive, some went on half-wolf still human enough to function in it's society & created a family to keep up the bloodline, etc... This was all with carefully chosen souls, with the perfect life situation for their purpose, it was all planned, even a few non-wolf animal souls in human forms bloodlines developing carefully.... ... yup ;P god, what a good song~
I quite like this story, also being a story maker myself, I find this very intriguing. buuuuut, I'm only fourteen and my stories sound like shit, but oh well, everyone gets better.
thank you!! x3 ...i'm 14 too o.o have you just begun? if so, yeah, they don't really start out good xD i think... i was honestly just putting whatever came to mind on paper (or..screen, lol), got a basic idea and went crazy :P i didn't go by any rules or like...what's already set for 'if you wanna have a good story', i got inspired, and just let the words flow. :3
+Ruby Dragon yeah, with the writing! and I find it amazing how so many people are also my age or close to it when they start writing, and they're all so good! It just reminds me that I can do something if I put my mind to it X3
This story... You made this very good. I wish tagging people on YT worked because my friend loves wolves so she would love it. Good job on that story though! Its really cool
Reminds me slightly of Arya Stark, the way she always got so close to her family but then something would happen that would mean she never got to them :(
I made a story for this song~ ^^ This is based off warriors. A small kit (Kitten) is sent off into the mountains to be prey for wolves because she had a crooked paw when she was just born. A mother wolf found her and took her in. She was raised with the other pups, lead to think that she is one of them, a wolf like them. When she is older, the mother wolf told her she was a cat, and she just found her and took her in. She ran off to find her real parents and she goes back to the woods to find them. I hope you enjoyed my story. ^^
When I hear this song I think of someone that is trying to fight depression she/he has a loving family now but is still in depression and is taking pills to fight it off the wolf mother is the one he/she sees in her/hisself and the wolf father is the one everyone else sees
+Wolfie Chan ... with the name 'Wolfie Chan' and the comment starting with 'So pretty much' I'm slightly inclined to believe this is some 'bipolar' OC of yours?
Wolfie Chan He means he thinks Wolfie Chan is your oc. Witch I doubt it is. Moocow2003 its probably just a user name. Plus depression doesn't mean bipolar exactly. You can be both don't get be wrong but you can be in depression, but not be bipolar.
SonicFanGirl I was being a grumpus when I wrote that last comment but I was gonna say most people don't say their past is their 'backstory' unless they're roleplaying lol
i think its alright to say where you found the song, no one complains when someone says they came to this song from a festival and a games no different. they heard the song from a game but like you their here because they enjoy the song.
I love this song, inspired a warrior cat story for me.y O.C Oceanpaw runs away from her clan to join RiverClan. Though, the urge is too strong to go back home. She comes back to her clan to find they had all been killed by wolves except for her friend Swiftpaw that had ran away with her. Oceanpaw now Oceandapple and Swiftpaw now Swiftstream have to rebuild the clan.
I am here because I love First Aid Kid and the song was an automated recommendation in my playlist. I am also a fan of the Walking Dead Telltale game series. Is this song really being used in the game? If so that's amazing, the second time that two of my worlds collide. Last time it did was listening to Gary Numan and Ultravox in Metal Gear Solid V. All this makes me think that being a music supervisor for TV, movies, and videogames is one of the coolest jobs that there are in these modern times.
I hate how people say " Wolves=Devil" ( pulls up middle finger) this is my opinion of their opinions. They are majestic creatures of the forest. Yet they are like this " Wolves are nothing more than hostile dogs. They want to KILLL US." When I look into a wolf's eyes... I see a beautiful creature. A creature more beautiful than heaven. These wolves are a representation of the stars and moon that shine at night that we ignore. The meteor shower we all miss. The singing we turn off. The beauty blocked in the world is shown through the wolf. We block beauty, the wolf shows the beauty. The meteor shower is never seen, and the wolf is hardly seen either. The wolf is ignored, along with the night. It's howling makes us curl into fear, and I don't like that idea. A wolf is: Beauty. Secretive. Desirable. And has a beautiful howl. #RespectTheWolf
I feel you! I've played with a full grown wolf they are really just gentle, sweet, and playful creatures! Just about every story makes them seem like deadly, evil creatures and it's not fair it's the same thing with snakes! It really makes me angry!
+Moocow2003 I am not trying to get people to go near them They are just extremely misunderstood and I'm seeing how many haters will appear Hater Count: 0
I've got a story for, please don't steal it 😄. So it goes like this: A mysterious wolf (Atlas) with a broken past takes over a pack and forces them to worship him. ( Dictator basically) He use to be free, but his father abused him and treated him like a navy seal. He became a cruel, heartless creature, and ruined many packs. This wolf pup's mother and father are locked up ( Wolf father, wolf mother) Later, the wolf pup (Kashra) overhears the dictator talking to himself (Run through the deep dark forest long after this begun etc. ) She then finds out as much as possible about him, he is not really a cruel, pugnacious dictator, basically. She works her way into his heart and they become good friends, and develop feelngs for eachother (At this point, the wolf pup is a young adult) She pleads with him and he sets he wolves free and they dissappear into the orest together. I have so many ideas for this and there are so many plot holes but oh well. I wish I could animate ;c
I love how half of the songs on my playlist are about LGBTQ+ literally, like that’s the purpose of the song, and then I just have... *Three...* *Songs...* (Dun... Dun... DUnnNnNnNnnNnNn...) About wolves- This song, ‘The Wolf’ by Siámes, and ‘Running With The Wolves’ by Aurora, *THEY ARE MY FAVORITE SONGS-*
If all the beasts were gone,
man would die from
a great loneliness of the spirit.
For whatever happens to the beasts
soon happens to man.

First Aid Kit. Their name really fits. When I'm feelin' down, I always come back to their music.
This song makes me want to run barefoot through a forest with a pack of wolves, like some kinda wild and untamable nature goddess.
It just makes me wanna live, run barefoot in the forest, and live in a cave with wolves and wake up every morning in nature and just run free
Me too! I've always wanted to just be free of problems and responsibilities it's a bad wish but I want so badly to run through the woods with the critters and live in harmony and peace
Its makes me feel wild
Same
I agree
Everyone’s making stories for the song, but somehow, no-one’s come to the more obvious conclusions:
The wolf family lives in an area devastated by environmental destruction.

The child attempts to heal the family by attempting to find the missing father, but gets lost. (I’d like to think there’s a happy ending, though.)

This is a good song. It reminds me of Skyrim a little.
lmao I was thinking the same thing, I got this stuck in my head after I transformed into a werewolf for the first time
Ashling Chashling, same if someone touched me I would growl 🤣
Skyrim is the best game in the world I love this song and I love Skyrim
When you adopt an orphan on Skyrim and they find out you travel all the time and are a werewolf

I haven't heard this song in years and somehow I still know all of the lyrics by heart
This song is so beautiful, it gives me shivers
I haventq heard this in years and just got reccomended it again. It never ceases to amaze me with how beautiful this song is.
o3o
A domestic dog is orphaned as a pup and found and raised by wolves. He is raised to believe he's a wolf but soon realizes that he's not. His Adopted mother is a low-ranking member of the pack and so she's always thin and scruffy because she barely gets any food. His "father", he mate is distant and not very loving to either of them and is always wondering away from the pack.
He later finds that the pack leader killed his actual mother when he found her on the territory but took pity on her only pup and brought him into the pack to be raised.
The dog lives his life as a wolf, but his longing to be with humans is too strong, so he decides to leave the pack.
Yes.
True it explains the song perfectly.
The mother reminds me of a gnaw wolf (I think) from wolves of the beyond (:
Or on a less literal sense, a girl is born in the poor part of a city, her mother works long hours can barely support them and often gives up opportunities for her only daughter, hence worn and thin.
Her father was never around, she grew up hearing about him but never really knew him, due to trouble he causes he moves around, she only occasionaly sees him and its usually when he's leaving because of a fight with her mother. Hence drifter and shape shifter.
Growing up her only sense of happiness was her best friend who was slightly older, her holy light. When she felt down her friend kept her spirits up by planning to leave the city and get a big house in the country side to live in. This kept her happy as she grew up being the daughter of a notorious 'wolf' in her city.
After years of barely getting by she starts to wish for a normal life, she runs through the city in sadness, the setting sun is her only free time as she runs through the buildings that rise above her like dead trees and the clogged gutters, all around her are the signs of urban decay. the city's just a memory of a much happier time in her life, dead trees and dried rivers. She searches for some sort of comfort but can only find shame in her living conditions and her disgrace at having a deadbeat dad.
In her sadness she only has old, torn books, children's books with pictures about wide open country sides and happy families.she feels like she once had that but knows its just a trick, someone like her could never enjoy such a happy time. Seeing the happy pictures now falling out of the book she carefully tapes them back in, reliving happier times when she read those books with her friend long ago.
allison harris mmmm No.

I swear, this song is a perfect theme for some parts in a book/YT series I'm making.
Am I the only one that just happened to stumble upon this song and isn't here because of some furry cults tv shows or whatever
Thank you, I've searched for for so long!
Yeah! :D I just saw it it my recommendations and I pressed it then BOOM I'm here

nope u are not the only one

This song, like, changed my life. I'm glad you made this video.
And, honestly, this saved my life. I totally forgot the name of the song, when I looked at my playlist XD

Nature can sing with life- The sounds of birds and rushing water in a forest, for example;
But this forest is dead, nature is "Worn and thin", "The Sun has set, the trees are dead and the rivers are none"
So Nature can no longer 'sing' here.
"Wolf Father" could represent Time- Father Time as opposed to Mother Nature, "Let me see you run"; Time seems to have stopped in this dead place, the years "don't smile anymore", possibly meaning that this place was once plentiful and beautiful, but it is no longer. (Think- Looking back on better years through an old photograph)

Finding the forest and planting a single seed, maybe it would make a change...
*O THAT, THAT WAS FUN*
that was very nice
sooooo the child (or from what I see I think you mean kids) runs away bc mother found a jobe and she won't tell it to the child for some magical reason, and father can't sleep bc mother found a work? :'D wut?
@@KrillWhisperer might more be the type of job not so much the fact she found work
Love it!
Do you know this weird feeling, when a song just feels like home?
I can't explain why, it just feels like home (in a good way).
I love First Aid Kit! I had the chance to see them live, and it was probably one of my favorite concerts I've ever been to.
I remember absolutely LOVEING this song when I was like 10 years old or younger, and now I’m crying because of memories
I can't believe I'm just hearing this for the first time. Their music is awesome!
In Russian: Mama-wolk, gde ty byla?
Ty vyglyadesh takoi ponoshennoi, takoi toshei
Ty berushaya dyavolica
Dai mne poslushat tvoyu pesnyu, hei hei
Papa-wolk, u dveri
Ty bolshe ne ulibaeshsya
Ty brodyaga, oboroten`
Dai mne uvidet` tvoi beg, hei hei
Svyatoi svet nad nochyu
Oh, sohranyaet duh silnim
Smotry kak on rastet, ditya voiny
Oh, derjis`
Kogda ya begu cherez temnyi les s togo
davnego vremeni kogda vsyo nachalos`
Kogda solnce saditsa
Derev`ya umirayut
No reki ni odnoi
I ya nadeyus na tropu
Chto vivedet menya obratno otsyuda
No sdes net zvuka, est` tolko ya, i moi pozor

~Lyrics~
Wolf-mother, where you been?
You look so worn, so thin
You're a taker, devils-maker
Let me hear you sing, hey-ya hey-ya
Wolf-father, at the door
You don't smile anymore
You're a drifter, shape-shifter
Let me see you run, hey-ya hey-ya
Holy light over the night
Oh, keep the spirit strong
Watch it grow, child of war
Oh, keep holdin' on
When I run through the deep dark forest long
After this begun
Where the sun would set
The trees were dead
And the rivers were none
And I hope for a trace
To lead me back home from this place
But there was no sound there was only me, and my disgrace
Wolf-mother, where you been?
You look so worn, so thin
You're a taker, devils-maker
Let me hear you sing, hey-ya hey-ya
Wolf-father, at the door
You don't smile anymore
You're a drifter, shape-shifter
Let me see you run, hey-ya hey-ya
Wayward winds, a voice that sings
Of a forgotten land
See it fall, child of war
Oh, lend a mending hand
When I run through the deep dark forest long
After this begun
Where the sun would set
The trees were dead
And the rivers were none
And I hope for a trace
To lead me back home from this place
But there was no sound there was only me, and my disgrace
Everyone: I’m from wolf children
Me: ...I came because of warriors?
Same
Definitely Warriors. Though I do like Wolf Children.
@@luckytiger6746 warriors is life
Me too I love the books!
Same
This fits one of my dnd characters almost PERFECTLY
This songs literally been stuck in my head for about three years. Glad I finally remembered it at a convenient time.
Thanks starclan 😄
I've been looking for this song for I don't remember how long! You do not understand my excitement right now...
this was stuck in my head and i couldnt get it out i JUST HAD TO LISTEN TO IT when i did my mind was at peace
UNTIL 5 HOURS PAST
This was linked to my video "Wolf of the Night (Lyrics on Screen)" so I clicked on it and am happily satisfied. Great song!
*sets up a stand* GET YOUR WALKING DEAD T-SHIRTS HERE!
XD
* buys 10$ and runs away *
where's the jAMES MERCH *pointing gun*
Six years later and this is still a great song.
I love this song! This sing actually caused me to have these beautiful visions of my Therian pack members and I. We were all in our Therian animal forms. We were running through a large pine forest. There were no humans, only wild animals.
What?
I'm here and I'm queer.
I actually found this song from my mother. She used to play all of their songs when we went on long road trips when I lived in Oregon. This song in specific now reminds me of the place I used to live, of colorful trees and large mountains, foggy mornings, tie dye shirts and blackberries, rain and the smell of wet pavement. It's nice, really. I guess I found this song through something I miss and I'm glad other people like it just as much as I do!
Any askers?
14 people thought the "dislike" button was actually the "dis I like" button

~Seafrost
Thank you soooo much because I’ve been trying to find the lyrics to this song for a month then I found this just thank yoooooouuu!
Can't believe it's been 7 years already.
I randomly remembered the lyrics and didnt know what song it was from but then i wanted to listen to this for no particular reason and this was the song.
"there was no sound..only me and my disgrace." This is so true it hurts 😭
This is an amazing song, glad I found it.
who is still watching this??? :DD let's see if I'm alone
Ya, I'm probably alone
Amelia6657 hello! 😄🐕
You Called?
Amelia6657 Never alone!
You are not alone :D
idk why this was recommended for me but I like it
I created a story inspired by this, there was a second part, buuut i got kinda...bleeeh and didn't finish it :V
Here's what survived (write your own story instead of stealing mine, if anyone steals this tell me) ;
A long time ago, there was a wolf. They were meant to serve an important purpose, to help change human's view of wolf.
However, something went wrong, they went near a farm, and was shot. They still hadn't fulfilled their mission, so, the wolf went looking, for a form to enter.
After looking for a long time, he found an unborn human girl, soon to be born, as the girl dreamt they made an eventual agreement that they'd share the same form, vessel, whatever you want to call it, of the unborn girl.
When she was born, she was overwhelmed with all the new things and forgot her agreement, though the wolf soul was still there.
The girl would pretend to be a wolf often, the wolf soul would kinda ''take over'' a bit more at times, creating bumps in her learning english due to suddenly thinking in all but words again, caused her to bite others, etc...
Time went on, she forgot more and more, but due to puberty, and therefore wanting to suppress the wolfishness, the wolf got stronger, more suppressed in return, more stronger...
(I'd originally thought of a story like this, then i remembered ''oh wait how does this fit with the song'' and switched course.)
Time went on, after many many hardships, the girl got married and had children.
However, the children shared a trait of the girl...
She ended up creating a bloodline of wolf-souled humans, whether it was small amounts of wolf or almost entirely wolf to the point they could hardly function on 2 legs, there was wolf in all of them.
This was, again, to help the view of wolves, to help with the preserving of endangered species (which most of them had a passion for), etc.
Some were slaughtered, some suppressed the wolf their whole life, some took it on near fully and became primitive, some went on half-wolf still human enough to function in it's society & created a family to keep up the bloodline, etc...
This was all with carefully chosen souls, with the perfect life situation for their purpose, it was all planned, even a few non-wolf animal souls in human forms bloodlines developing carefully....
...
yup ;P
god, what a good song~
I quite like this story, also being a story maker myself, I find this very intriguing. buuuuut, I'm only fourteen and my stories sound like shit, but oh well, everyone gets better.
thank you!! x3
...i'm 14 too o.o
have you just begun? if so, yeah, they don't really start out good xD i think...
i was honestly just putting whatever came to mind on paper (or..screen, lol), got a basic idea and went crazy :P i didn't go by any rules or like...what's already set for 'if you wanna have a good story', i got inspired, and just let the words flow. :3
+Ruby Dragon yeah, with the writing! and I find it amazing how so many people are also my age or close to it when they start writing, and they're all so good! It just reminds me that I can do something if I put my mind to it X3
yeaaah!! :D rock on man, and may you have many good stories to come! ^w^
This story... You made this very good. I wish tagging people on YT worked because my friend loves wolves so she would love it. Good job on that story though! Its really cool
I have no idea why I like this so much
Anyone else in 2019?
This song is both inspiring and sad. Also reminds me of the movie 'Alpha'
I love that movie!
I love this song! Ever since I saw the warriors video for this, i've been obsessed with the song!
Reminds me slightly of Arya Stark, the way she always got so close to her family but then something would happen that would mean she never got to them :(

For almost a decade I finally found this song again
Am i the only one who found this song and totally liked it cause it fits perfectly with a story I've bin writting 🤣😋 great song
I- THESE SONGS ARE SO OLD AND I REMEMBER BOPPING TO THESE WHEN I WAS YOUNGER OMGGGGGG
Anyone else here because this is a damn good song?

Galactic Dalek IKR!!!! I LOVE WARRIORS
Glamour Wolfy So do I!!! Trying to read EVERY book in the series.
foxesareawesome8 its epic.
Glamour Wolfy IKR!
Hauntingly beautiful.

yeeeeeep
Me
ME!
so
Umm.. I actually just came here because it was appeared on my screen.
THIS SONG SHOULD DESERVE MORE VIEWS AND MORE LIKES AND A KAREOKE VERSION!!
I love this song
This song basically describes wolf walker. I love it
I made a story for this song~ ^^ This is based off warriors.
A small kit (Kitten) is sent off into the mountains to be prey for wolves because she had a crooked paw when she was just born. A mother wolf found her and took her in. She was raised with the other pups, lead to think that she is one of them, a wolf like them. When she is older, the mother wolf told her she was a cat, and she just found her and took her in. She ran off to find her real parents and she goes back to the woods to find them.
I hope you enjoyed my story. ^^
Nice.
have you read wolves of the beyond? it seems aloft like one of the characters
Cece Leahy No I haven't, but I'll look into it.
Evil Fox it is a really good book... not as good as warriors though :)
Would you mind if I wrote an actual story for this song? I could put it on Wattpad with Full credit to you for the idea
Another Great Tune By These Girls !!

i seriously just screamed about this to my friend. holy shit.
Am a dragon age fan...Failing to understand that :(
AA HH 1) have you played Inquisition 2) have you FINISHED Inquisition
GAME OF THRANSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
(lol im bored XD)
Reminds me of some of my dreams, very beautiful. Special the line 'when i run trough the deep dark forest long after this began'
Love this song :-)
me too, glad I'm not the only one who still listens to this
best song I have ever heard in my life. It's now my favorite song in the world.
If my animator didn't suck, I'd do warrior cat animation for this about Silverstream and Graystripe. I might when I get a computer
I would watch it .-.
+foxesareawesome8 i would watch it too
+Autumn Barrett Really? I'm bad at drawing, but I guess I'll have to try
I was scrolling down and found First Aid Kit - Wolf so I clicked no fandom related (not even LiS2)
And yeah I found a masterpiece
LeafPool and CrowFeather Right???!
YES
YOU WATCH APHMAU TOO?!?!
+Ivy SliverClaw that is how I found this song aswell! I hate Crowfeather,Nightpelt? and Breezpelt. They're all extremely annoying
+Kiz Biz (Jayfeather) SAMMMMMEEEEE
oooh yeah gurl, im with my warrior and Aphmau peeps now, WOOHOO!!
i cannot stop thinking of this song! its my favorite :3
When I hear this song I think of someone that is trying to fight depression she/he has a loving family now but is still in depression and is taking pills to fight it off the wolf mother is the one he/she sees in her/hisself and the wolf father is the one everyone else sees
+Wolfie Chan ...
with the name 'Wolfie Chan' and the comment starting with 'So pretty much' I'm slightly inclined to believe this is some 'bipolar' OC of yours?
Wolfie Chan
He means he thinks Wolfie Chan is your oc. Witch I doubt it is. Moocow2003 its probably just a user name. Plus depression doesn't mean bipolar exactly. You can be both don't get be wrong but you can be in depression, but not be bipolar.
SonicFanGirl I was being a grumpus when I wrote that last comment but I was gonna say most people don't say their past is their 'backstory' unless they're roleplaying lol
Moocow2003 oh I see
Gross.
EXCELLENT song and tune - love it!
News flash.
NO ONE CARES WHAT YOU CAME FROM.
Just enjoy the song.
XD
thank you
i think its alright to say where you found the song, no one complains when someone says they came to this song from a festival and a games no different. they heard the song from a game but like you their here because they enjoy the song.
iT'S A GREAT SONG
I personally like seeing what brought people here.
Such a good song, wow I love This so much
I love this song, inspired a warrior cat story for me.y O.C Oceanpaw runs away from her clan to join RiverClan. Though, the urge is too strong to go back home. She comes back to her clan to find they had all been killed by wolves except for her friend Swiftpaw that had ran away with her. Oceanpaw now Oceandapple and Swiftpaw now Swiftstream have to rebuild the clan.
I know you commented this five years ago but that's really dope
@@SlytherwingI had completely forgotten about this OC, so this comment brought back so much nostalgia 😭.
@@DutchsMangoes That's so real
@DutchsMangoes Idk if you know who Blixemi is but I'll see comments I made six years ago and cringe
@@Slytherwing I 100% used to watch Blixemi, Lizzrd Wizzrd, moon kitti and all those other warrior cat UA-camrs back in my day.
How tf am I loving ALL their songs
I am here because I love First Aid Kid and the song was an automated recommendation in my playlist. I am also a fan of the Walking Dead Telltale game series. Is this song really being used in the game? If so that's amazing, the second time that two of my worlds collide. Last time it did was listening to Gary Numan and Ultravox in Metal Gear Solid V.
All this makes me think that being a music supervisor for TV, movies, and videogames is one of the coolest jobs that there are in these modern times.
listening to this in 2017 LIKE A BOSS b-cuz good music never dies
Weird... Creepy... I love it! :3
This never gets old
I hate how people say " Wolves=Devil" ( pulls up middle finger) this is my opinion of their opinions.
They are majestic creatures of the forest. Yet they are like this " Wolves are nothing more than hostile dogs. They want to KILLL US."
When I look into a wolf's eyes... I see a beautiful creature. A creature more beautiful than heaven. These wolves are a representation of the stars and moon that shine at night that we ignore. The meteor shower we all miss. The singing we turn off. The beauty blocked in the world is shown through the wolf. We block beauty, the wolf shows the beauty. The meteor shower is never seen, and the wolf is hardly seen either. The wolf is ignored, along with the night. It's howling makes us curl into fear, and I don't like that idea. A wolf is:
Beauty. Secretive. Desirable. And has a beautiful howl.
#RespectTheWolf
YASSSS MY LIFE!!! IM A PROUD FURRY AND I AM A WOLF EVERY THING THAT I AM IS A WOLF I SWEAR RIGHT NOW!!! PROPS TO THIS COMMENT^
I feel you! I've played with a full grown wolf they are really just gentle, sweet, and playful creatures! Just about every story makes them seem like deadly, evil creatures and it's not fair it's the same thing with snakes! It really makes me angry!
+Moocow2003 I have gotten through someone.
YES
( hive five!)
+Bonnie Da Bunny 🖐🏼
+Moocow2003 I am not trying to get people to go near them
They are just extremely misunderstood and I'm seeing how many haters will appear

What an awesome song!
I used to think it said "You're a taker, devil spanker" X3
Just love this song!!
I've got a story for, please don't steal it 😄. So it goes like this: A mysterious wolf (Atlas) with a broken past takes over a pack and forces them to worship him. ( Dictator basically) He use to be free, but his father abused him and treated him like a navy seal. He became a cruel, heartless creature, and ruined many packs. This wolf pup's mother and father are locked up ( Wolf father, wolf mother) Later, the wolf pup (Kashra) overhears the dictator talking to himself (Run through the deep dark forest long after this begun etc. ) She then finds out as much as possible about him, he is not really a cruel, pugnacious dictator, basically. She works her way into his heart and they become good friends, and develop feelngs for eachother (At this point, the wolf pup is a young adult) She pleads with him and he sets he wolves free and they dissappear into the orest together. I have so many ideas for this and there are so many plot holes but oh well. I wish I could animate ;c
Mia Botha why not try to write it?
Mia Botha Cool idea 🖒
Mia Botha I wish I could animate too
I actually knew this song and I'm so glad I found the name.
I love this song that when I first heard it the second time I tried singing it and I got everything right
Absolutely gorgeous. Those sisters have something really special. XXX.
I love how half of the songs on my playlist are about LGBTQ+ literally, like that’s the purpose of the song, and then I just have...
