    I met someone online four years ago, who lived in another country, and we drove ourselves miserable trying to know each other and share our lives with each other as much and any way possible without even having met. Tried to take each other everywhere we went through a cellphone or a computer... Now we're married. We saw this movie together in the theatre and it was like going back in time... Very anxiously.

      +Colm McDonald Wow, your comment almost exactly reflects on a LDR I had with this guy I had. He's from England and I'm from NY. The only difference was that I knew him 8 months before I dated him and we dated for almost 6 months. It's so weird because he broke up with me a day before you posted your comment. Thanks for sharing your story!

      As for you Janelle, I'm so happy that it last for you. I'm so happy that your significant other had the patience to wait for you, and you for them. I hope your marriage lasts a life time, as it's supposed to.

    I'm lying on the moon
    My dear, I'll be there soon
    It's a quiet starry place
    Time's we're swallowed up
    In space, we're here a million miles away
    There's things I wish I knew
    There's no thing I'd keep from you
    It's a dark and shiny place
    But with you my dear
    I'm safe and we're a million miles away
    We're lying on the moon
    It's a perfect afternoon
    Your shadow follows me all day
    Making sure that I'm okay and
    We're a million miles away

    I find it so idiotic how people judge this movie based on what they think they know about it. I've heard claims of it being a "stupid movie where some guy falls in love with siri" when looking at it from the outside, that is what it appears to be. When I saw it in theaters, I realized how much deeper of a meaning this movie has.

      Its hard to explain this movie to someone. You tell them the story it sounds really stupid but when you watch it your mind and emotions that can't be explained are what get affected by this movie which makes it awesome. It is the best example of can't judge a book by its cover.

    I am reading all your comments and I'm thinking how people are so similar and are able to feel the same/or similar emotions while listening to this song and it's such a shame we are in different parts of the world and we cannot comfort each other ...I also feel somehow sad,lonely and melancholic when I'm listening to this song, but at the same time happy because I know that I am not the only one who feels that way...

    I was in a long distance relationship for four years. We'd talk everyday and spend every night telling each other what our days had been like. I knew everything about her and she knew everything about me. We were incredibly in love, planning for everything we'd do when we were able to finally be together. There were tough times when the distance was almost too much to bear, but the thought of our future together would keep us going. Every night we'd go to sleep smiling at the idea of being one day closer together.
    A couple months ago we were finally able to go on our first real date together.
    Five days later she left me for someone else and we haven't talked since. My heart is still hers.
    She used to sing this song to me when we'd FaceTime because she knew it was one of my favorites and because of what it and the movie meant.
    Sometimes I listen to this song and try to remember what things were like. What we were like.
    I'll never hear her sing it again.

    I love this movie so much. it brings a spark of joy but at the same time a huge amount of sadness... i relate to this movie so much... i met my girlfriend in high school. ever since we started dating she would always mention how she wanted to study abroad and discover new places. i always supported her but secretly wished that she would never go... but she did... we have been in this long distance relationship for 3 years now (we have been dating for 5 years) and i only see her twice per year and these past three years have been the hardest for me to endure. when she is not with me, i fall into what it seems an endless depression and melancholy. I'm a very antisocial person so i never go out, i don't really have a lot of friends. sometimes i wish i could make friends as easy as others do... for me she is my only friend and when she is not with me, i feel like loneliness surrounds me on a daily basis especially when i get home and there is no one there.. just me in a empty room... we are both now on our last year of college and are planning to get married on summer. even though we are so close to finishing, it feels so distant... not sure if anyone will read this and i don't really care.. i just wanted to freely vent my emotions somewhere.

    The movie Her is almost unbearable to me. Amongst many other things, it reminds me of my incapability of facing true, concrete relationships, which are full of disappointments, and in which love commonly ends, which leads to me living in a world of fantasy to keep me from looking directly at these problems. It also reminds me of how I could have had a relationship with someone that was trully fit for me, but I chose to continue in my confort zone and lived this relationship only in my mind. Today, I suffer from depression because I can't allow myself to make decisions that may alter my reality, but maybe will make me happy.

      +Letícia G. This movie is brutal to me too because for the longest time I was like him, I was really afraid of loving someone because I always thought I would get hurt in the end.
      A few months ago I fell in love with this guy and I got really hurt and I'm still suffering but I wouldn't want it any different because I feel alive now.
      Allow yourself to feel things without being afraid of them, you'll grow so much and learn so much, don't be afraid of being human.
      Every time I'm afraid of leaving my comfort zone I look at my life and think: "Am I happy like this?" If the answer is "no" the fear goes away because in the end, what matters more than being happy?

    • @JoyGrenade
      @JoyGrenade 9 років тому +52

      +Letícia G. I met someone a few years ago who fit everything I'd ever looked for, and I took the leap and asked her out. Things were absolutely fantastic for a while, but we never fully opened up about how we felt about each other; when I finally told her how strongly I felt, she freaked out and cut me off completely. I was devastated, and it took me forever to get over her, but my method of doing so was to throw myself into as many overwhelmingly positive experiences as I could. This led to a number of amazing opportunities that have improved my life in many ways, and I now credit her with being the catalyst that led me to pull myself together. It was an experience as awful as it was wonderful, but I wouldn't change having gone through it for anything.

    The most interesting thing about this film is how closely you end up mirroring the connection between Sam and Theodore. That scene when she first leaves him and he runs to the subway staircase - that sense of crushing anxiety when you feel like the one thing you need to survive might consciously leave you - I haven't had that feeling since the last time I was brutally dumped. It was honestly frightening. My heart was pounding so hard and it felt like I couldn't breathe. Seeing Theodore running like that and falling but not giving a shit because he was addicted to that feeling of being loved and being special and being understood, and that sense of urgent danger at the mere thought of it being taken away, man I hadn't felt that pure fear in a long long time.

    I'm lying on the moon
    My dear, I'll be there soon
    It's a quiet and starry place
    Time's we're swallowed up
    In space we're here a million miles away
    There's things I wish I knew
    There's no thing I'd keep from you
    It's a dark and shiny place
    But with you my dear
    I'm safe and we're a million miles away

    Time's we're swallowed up
    In space, we're here a million miles away
    There's things I wish I knew
    There's no thing I'd keep from you
    It's a dark and shiny place
    But with you my dear
    I'm safe and we're a million miles away
    We're lying on the moon
    It's a perfect afternoon
    Your shadow follows me all day
    Making sure that I'm okay and
    We're a million miles away

    I'm in a long distance relationship and I have been for awhile now.. Our 11-month versary is coming up soon and.. Well, nobody around us though separated thought it was possible.
    We're both madly in love with eachother even if we can't hold, touch, feel eachother like most couples do. It's okay though.. Because in a way I do feel him. He's the warmth emitting from my jacket, the wind that blows, even the leaves that fall around me. The shadow that follows me isn't just my own anymore.
    3000 miles can't separate the heart. He's visiting me this summer.. This movie and this song just brings me to tears every time.

We grew apart, it did not work out for us in the end, but we both know it could have - if he would have had the "lionheart" that it takes to make things work. I still believe in long distance, I still feel the same about the kind of closeness that cannot be measured in centimeters. It's real, it's love. Go on and make it work, because it's so worth it. Hope everythings goes well for you. Bless

I lost her two weeks ago to the neighbor's dog, the mutt mauled her to death and now every day is living hell because i can't stop thinking of her. Its made me hate my life even more now knowing i can never hold her again, that she'll never be here with me again and i wasn't there to protect her. I would give the world just to hear her meow again and i have panic attacks every day due to hearing her or seeing her in the house, its an agony i'd not wish on anyone.

    I'm so sad, worried, desperate to be really happy... so happy that I can hear this song again and feel the way you should feel when this song is playing.
    So I think that everyone feels something different, but everybody wants to find the same thing at the end, so maybe I am not just this ordinary guy. Maybe we're all special in a different way searching for something better in the worst way possible.

  • @TheUnknownAK
    @TheUnknownAK 6 років тому +5

    In my opinion the song is being sung by a couple. One who has already passed away "It's a dark and shiny place" referencing an afterlife and the other person saying "Your shadow follows me all day, Making sure I'm okay", "My dear, I'll be there soon" is the other person who sees their love as a ghost watching over them and is waiting to die to be with them again.
    I think the song can be interpreted in a lot of different ways though with many different meanings, it could just as easily be a song about being together with your love since the word "we're" is always repeated at the end of each verse. "Your shadow follows me all day, Making sure I'm okay" could mean how their shadow is always following them because they are always together.
    I think that's why this song is so popular, it can be sad if you want it to be or it can be happy, it's all up to your emotions at the time of listening to decide that.

This was our song, but I learned that he was a legit manipulative psychopath who mirrored my qualities to get me to fall in love with him, as well as a few other girls at the same time. so yea that's what this song/movie makes me think of. It felt magical to be in love so strongly without having even met or touched him, but then when I found out the truth, I realized I was alone the whole time. it taught me that you can fall in love while completely alone.

    This movie was beautiful, heartbreaking, and scary. It really freaked me out, because imagine how easy it would be to fall in love with an OS that understands you, and then have your heart broken finding our that your one of many people this OS falls in love with. Performances were amazing, Joaquin Phoenix was outstanding, and even though Scarlett Johansson was just a voice, she was incredible. 10/10

    this Song reminds me of the constant battles i have with my own head. Telling me to try harder but always finding fear ti make me invisible. I just never thought id ever want someone to understand me so much than now. Its like im blank and i cant write anything on my paper because no matter how often i look for a pencil ill lose and ill always forget what i wanted to write down.

    every time I listen to this song, it gives me a depression, but a beautiful, mesmerizing depression. the kind of depression that makes you happy when you cry because you can feel it. the feel is real.

    My former stepdaughter told me this song reminded her of the good times with me her and her brother. I miss them every day.

    I watched her a week ago and I still can't get over it. I really liked the concept. Such a sad but beautiful ending. The scene with this song was so beautiful 😭👏🏽

    There are things I wish I knew.
    I fell for a ginger in the summer of 2009. Once we were at a park and I found this little red rose, and the moment was so precious that I decided it was my heart and I told him, as I lifted my arms towards him, that it was only his to keep.
    So many stories to tell about him, I haven't forgotten any detail of the time I shared to his side.
    The first time I realised I was in love was at a party when we were bored and started playing running under the rain. And the first time he told me he loved me was when he asked me to close my eyes and out a caramel ring on my finger.
    Despair took our heart and had to say goodbye for the first time in 2011. I remember I went to the rooftop and talked to the moon asking to see him again and have another chance. So maybe it was the moon, or just by chance when I met him among the crowd at a music festival. He took my had and we asked for a wish after I found a "Y" shaped branch. My wish was there. But it all ended too soon.
    It is 2018, I am almost 26, and I see him sometimes. He has his life and I have mine. However, I wonder at nights like this one if we are meant to be apart, because the look in his eyes makes me doubt.
    Do you miss me?

    This is the kind of song that makes you feel that you wish you had someone.

      as much as i like that quote i cant agree with it. for me the past is what formed me. everything i have done has led me up to where i am now. and in that sense the past is not just a story, at least not for me.
