I love how all of us found this when we were young and now all of us are finding it again and feeling young again
I agree, but unfortunately it makes me feel older.
@Omnihilo yeah, definitely.
I couldn't agree more. It holds a special place in my heart
I wanted to watch this so bad and couldn't remember the name, thankfully searching "animated short girl on moon" was enough 😅✨️
I remember crying like hell as a teenager thinking she will never see him again
Why does this animation always make me feel so lonely? Something about it is so enchanting and yet at the same time makes you feel so lonely. I literally cannot describe the feeling this animation gives me.
Cus the main character is completely alone and you can see she wants companionship. She's visibly upset when she's get taken away/ woken up and the man leaves her.
I feel the same way
Aye, this feeling way too familiar for me. The loneliness, the longing, the sadness, the solemnity, the familiarity of a dream you longed to see.
the wind sounds + far away human made machinery noises
The atmosphere, it being dark, in the ruins of a place where there's no one else around, well almost no one around.
It's so beautiful
"My boyfriend turned into the moon..."
"That's rough, buddy."
Damn spike, take it easy would ya?
Nice avatar reference
that's rough buddy
LOL i love that show
that was funny
I watched this when I was younger and something reminded me of it so I decided take a look and remember how good it is
Yeah, me too surprisingly
Same, i love this masterpiece❤️
I’m here for the same reason...
Same
Omg same! I was always looking for this since I was young. I never thought I would find it again :)
"My only friend was the man in the moon, and even sometimes he would go away too"
Love that song!! ^ ^
Do you know what the song is called and where I can find it?
+Tara Phillips It's called 'Lost Boy' and it's by Ruth B.
+Velvetpsychokiller 12 thanks😊
Anime Queen yup I have a friend in the moon too
Even 14 years later, this is still one of my favorite things to rediscover from time to time.
this animation right here- was my whole childhood. I would watch it day and night thinking about when i'd find my soulmate. I thought as a kid "dang, i'm gonna find a guy that's gonna love me sooo much that, distance and time won't separate us" and dang it she's right. everyone find someone you love no matter what. no matter how far apart you'll get, the love for eachother won't dissolve away.
👍
same,,
I'm kinda curious to know where my soulmate is... but I guess I still gotta wait huh?
PaNiniDoesaWheelie man we both gotta wait. But I guarantee you that they’ll show up soon. Waiting for them takes forever but it’s worth it. Best wishes
@@tequila524 thanks bro, I wish you all the best too!🔥❤️
That "moon melody" gives me the most inexplicable sense of nostalgia....
It's truly hard to describe, but.... well, what comes to mind is, when I was younger, I would go to the mall with my family, specifically at night during the Winter.
It reminds me of innocence and happiness.... things I haven't experienced in a long time.
I have no idea why this made me think of that.... but I'm quite grateful. Those are nice memories that I'm pleased to remember once again. :)
Yeah... same ✨✨❤️❤️
same with inside out soundtrack
@@jllnr8929
The Inside Out soundtrack really reminds me of my childhood, too. :)
I don't blame you, I saw this 10 solid years ago, and it still makes me feel so nostalgic for the day I saw it
Reminds me of 2000s style animation
I remember seeing this. I miss the old UA-cam videos when content was random but it still had a message of some sorts. Now I see Spider-Man and Elsa having a damn baby.
lol i feel you
Reminds me of Jack Frost and Elsa vids
Agreed
And search bar actually working.
Same, I feel you.
I saw this animation when I was young, and it's still one of my favorites that I always go back to
Edit: No clue how old I was when I first saw it, but it's definately been over 5 years of knowing this animation and humming the song to myself quite often XD
Have to agree with you on this
i agree :')
akari hayashi same, I was like 10 or 12 when I saw this. I still adore it.
I think i saw it around 9 years old
akari hayashi 14 years old if i remember ^^
Fading away
Into the light of day
Morning is cold
Lonely and gray
Can never let go
Of this memory's glow
Happiness lost
Sends me deeper to sorrow
You're welcome?
Omg thank you ❤

@@yachi2572 Oh, I just typed a few lyrics
Thats beautiful
:)
I found this about 10 years ago. It still comes to mind, and today I found it after losing memory of its title. It still moves my heart in such a way I cannot describe. A loneliness and melancholy found oddly comforting. The whimsy, the escape from reality, the return to the grunge of everyday with a new spark of hope and comfort. Hurts, but it's a happy cry. Like a lullaby putting my soul to rest
Save it in a playlist
For me, this animation shows many things, but one of those, is the songwriting process, well, more like how frustrating it can get.
In the beginning, she is fiddling with the radio, she's exhausted all the inspiration she can from what's around her, and it means nothing. any more. She then catch some a bit of a tune coming from somewhere deep in her mind. She follows the trail, letting it take her where she needs to go. Here she finds her melody (the other person) and creates the harmony to it. She has her song, and it's beautiful. Their dancing together is her making the rest of the song, but she loses it, the part of her mind is torn from her by something she can't see. She winds up back at the start, with only a small part of the once beautiful song she had.
+Dark Mage I really like this interpretation...
+Rhubarb Zoo thanks, I find it something I go through with every song I try to write
+Rhubarb Zoo me too.
+Dark Mage That totally syncs up with everyone wanting the 'full song' after watching the film, when in fact Dane wrote it specifically for the piece, so that's all there was! :D
+Jeremy Hay
Really? I didn't know that, I was just linking it to my own personal experiance
If only these short stories were developed as full movies. With the present animation crew and director being supported and financed by Studio Ghibili; we'd be able to welcome a much longer and more breathtaking performance.
Unfortunately, we would all be dead after 10 minutes of the movie and would never see the end of it , because it is so breathtaking ^^
👏 Great idea
Idk, I feel like a full length version would take away from what makes it so special.
@@Artrysa not necessarily, It could be like another version of spirited away
I kind of like it how it is tbh
Wow, this is probably one of the best examples of ambience and use of music as a story telling device that i've seen in animation.
I found this when I was 9 and I showed it to my friends, family, and I always watched this
Then I slowly started to forget about it..
Now that I found it again, I a this crying feeling, I hear that music and it's a huge wave of nostalgia.
It reminds me of my childhood, and how innocent and extroverted I was. I'm not the same person I was as a kid. I've made many friends, and lost many friends. The word isn't the same anymore. I just love this.The animation is wonderful, with good music. It might be 11 years after it's release date, but I'm glad others feel the same way and still enjoy it.
wtf same as fuck!! this picture i have rn is from when I first started my UA-cam days too(:
Same here
Same, tho I discovered this when I was 8 years old back in 2015 and showed it to my teachers and friends in school.
Poor Harmony...I like to imagine she visits him every night and eventually dies to become a star who can stay beside him forever!
Oh my gosh yesssss
+Lynne McSherry I kinda imagine that she can't always visit him so he sends her a star to lull her to sleep?
*+Lynne McSherry* Wait, but wouldn't that mean that every star is a girl that liked the dude? and How do you know their names? TELL ME NOW SO I CAN FIND OUT (please)
anime superpony No I didn't mean every star XD though I guess every theory or idea or whatever has its holes... honestly I don't know their names either I just went by what others were calling them XD
AnimeisLife4evr Oh ok. And sorry I misunderstood
Lyrics at the end:
Fading away

Can never let go
Of this memory's glow
Happiness falls

Thanks!

I'm trying 2 find this as a ringtone but can't.... so sad!!!!!
Took to 3 years to learn it. Im glad i remembered it after 3 years now after 5 years I've been can coming back over and over. Those lyrics speak to you. If you listen.
The second time I watched this I noticed that the boy couldn't find another suitable tune for his music and out of nowhere he became happy because the girl was able to continue it. That was love at first sight but their night couldn't go on because morning came. Aw, it reminded me of my favorite otp!
I really hope we hear more from Megan eventually... Her voice at the end was hauntingly beautiful, and the sense of desperate longing and despair sounded so artfully laced into every note, stretching out and touching the hearts of so many people.
But more than that, I hope she knows we love her work in this, and that we're proud of her, even if she chose not to continue singing. This video, the animation, the music, all of it. It's all deeply engraved in my heart, and I have never been able to forget it, even after all these years and everything I've been through. Whenever I feel a longing for times long past, for memories I desperately and secretly wish to go back to and hold even closer to my heart, I always hear this song quietly playing in the back of my mind.
4 years later and I'm still hoping for a sequel, continuation, *something*. This world is just too beautiful and interesting to leave as a simple short, I feel like there can be a great and complex story behind this!
Heck, even I'm considering writing a bit of a continuation and fleshing this already complex world out even more according to how I think of it, though it would be interesting to team up with someone and fleshing it out together or seeing someone else's interpretation of it...
Thing is, there doesn't always have to be a continuation of something left open-ended. I believe this was left like this on purpose, as a sort of ambiguous new "reality" of which we don't have (or really need) a complete story for. You can always hope for more, but at the end of the day what's left of it is still beautiful, and sometimes that's all that's needed.
I want this to turn into some type of web series. I just wanna see more into this girls life. It looks interesting. Especially with how the world around her looks.
This showed back up in my recommended well over a decade after having watched it for the first time. I'd forgotten just how beautiful it was. The design of the environments and the two characters being so stylized, the colors, and just the *feel* that it all has. I'm glad to have seen this again. It's quite nice.
15 years ago and I still remembered this.... a tune was playing in the back of my mind and somehow, I recall exactly which animation had graced my childhood with its presence
so now we have music bending. sweet
Kisame Hoshigaki Yup, we’ll need to update the Avatar program of this new development.
Kisame Hoshigaki He’s just conducting and the stars are playing according to his and her movements.
A very powerful ability

@@RaiderAvian ice
3:00 I’d so like a full version to that song
Me toooo
ua-cam.com/video/DEivlTqulxI/v-deo.html
@@toxic_bot8462Does anyone know the chords of this song/ I wanna make it a music box for my sister
Exactly what I was about to comment. That song sounds so beautiful.
@@toxic_bot8462 I'd like to thank you, but that video is just the audio file for this video, not a full version of the song.
This Is beautiful. The friendship of Harmony and the man on the moon is moving. I want more of them, I want to know that they are reunited again
Omfg I actually finally found it! I've been looking for this animation for so long but I gave up looking for it after forgetting the title of this masterpiece. Now it got recommended to me again after years.. I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels a certain way about this animation, especially the melody! It was stuck to my head all the time to the point I actually requested my mother to teach me how to play it in the piano. Would've been glad if the melody was a full song, I'd made it my lullaby by then lol.
So, I may just be a wimp or something, but for some reason, whenever I watch this, by the time they start dancing, I'm sitting here crying my eyes out. I don't know why, but I just... do. But it's so beautiful to me, so maybe that's why? :,(
its so sad >o
I've never cried when watching a movie or tv or anything but the only times I've ever been close are when I watch something truly beautiful, so no you're not wimp
tadhg ogorman What about when Fry's dog died in the Futurama episode, hmm? Look it up and tell me you did not even start watering in your eyes!
You're not a wimp. I may not cry but I want to. this beautiful and something about it just touches our hearts
dont feel alone i cry every time X'DD
Wow. The fact that they didn't end up together broke my heart.
I first saw this when I was really young and I thought that it was the prettiest thing ever.
isn't it still?
Still is
14 years ago I watched this and now it still hits me hard in the feels.
Even after 10 years the animation is still amazing with it's music story and animation and happy 10th anniversary this comment was made on the 27 May 2019 and the short was made on 27 May 2009 I am happy to have made this comment 10 years to the day of the short
And I guess I missed that anniversary for the 2022 one
I'll just say what everyone else would like to say:
I SHIP IT.
Aside from that, I love the style and the design of the characters, very fitting and very adorable!
I see this as a struggling young girl that's all alone meets a man on the moon who tries to control everything to make the perfect tune, but when she shows him her song he likes it and loosens up. They fall in love. The moonlight fades away and he has to go too. He knows of her previous sadness, so in his last moment of life, he sent her a piece of their song, love, reformed self, and a piece of him to be remembered by. Hopefully they will meet agaim if the stars align. Well, that's how I saw it anyways lol
+Ninja Of Anime! *eyes tear up* That was beautiful
Love it, but I see him as not dying but just going away with the Sun and coming back the next night. I don't really see it as him coming back only when the stars align.
True, but it could be something like a rsre blue moon or blood moon so she could travel through it, you might be right, but I just see it like that lol
I see, that might actually be what it is, now that I think about it. Seeing as she was sad about him being gone and it did seem like he wasn't going to come back from awhile, too. I hope they make another one so that we can see which one it is.
Me too
The music and the sound gives me a deep chill, an unexplicable tender feeling.
Who cares this is beautiful no matter how many times we watch it.
Hopefully Harmony will get her friend very soon
I have never been more attached to a cartoon character like... Ever
Entropy is basically the measure of degree of randomness , but I can't see any kind of randomness goin on in here , so subtle , so calming jss satisfying
I just wanted you to know that I think of this video almost everyday. My youtube account got lost and so I just spent 3ish hours trying to find this video again. You created an incredible piece of art. The colors, the art style, the music. It is unforgetable. Finding this and watching it again after years and years feels just as magical as the first time I watched it. Thank you so much for existing and making this all those years ago.
I don't know if im exaggerating but this almost made me cry
Nah I was the same. So many feels.
indeed. Who says you need a voice to tell a beautiful story?
Savieboo 13 LIK IF U CRI EVERTIM
I actually did😂
Definitely emotionally moving
fading away
into the light of day
morning is cold
lonely and grey
never let go
of this memories glow
happiness falls
sends me deeper into sorrow
i'm addicted to watching the animation shorts now they're all so emotional within their few minutes even if they dont have any words but i think that's because we're given open mindedness to come up with a different view in our own perceptions. i love this one i like to think that they meet again when the moon comes into view every night and she gets to be in the dreamlike world with him once more c:
Her: "My boyfriend turned into the moon."
Sokka: *"That must be rough for you."*
Zuko: Dang it, Sokka! It's "That’s rough, buddy"!
Why do I ship it
It's only a three minute short
Yet I ship it
So hard
Need more
Another short
A mini movie
A real movie
A SEQUEL
NEEEED MOOORE
+vic68rt It's already my all-time OTP only 2 minutes into it
That's the power of visual storytelling
AGREED
ikr. that's what I thought
me too! moreeee please!!!!
i know how it feels
This animation is... trippy. No no, I dont mean in a bad way, this is amazing and beautiful! The animation just messes with my eyes XD its like 2D and 3D and it just messes with me. I give it a 10/10
Reminds me of the pain of having a wonderful dream where everything seems so... Different... In a good way... Before you are ripped away back to the sobering reality of life with nothing but a fading memory of the journey...
Sometimes I feel like I only stay awake to make my next dream a little longer and a little better and sometimes I feel like the only reason to get out of bed is to begin the process of starting my next dream... Strange how it is the only thing I can truly look forward to...
I've had the exact same thing around a year ago, maybe two years. I had this uncomfortable feeling the whole day, and always thought about the evening, when I would go to sleep. The reality was cold and sober (my parents were also in a divorce) But sleeping and dreaming was great. I also wouldn't want to go back to "normal" living. But, eventually, I saw the meaning of life again and came out of it. I don't know how, but it happened. So, for a little bit support, I know you will look forward to other things too and will see the meaning of life too. Until that time, I wish you good luck.
I'm still experiencing it. Reality is just painful to be in. I'm scared
Thats exactly what i thought too! I feel like some people dont understand how real dreams can be.
I can’t believe I watched this as a little girl and I was so fascinated by the animation!! I’m a senior now and it’s really comforting that this video is still up and is still as gorgeous as ever.
Words cannot describe how this video makes me feel.
It's beautifully animated, the characters are fun and cute. It makes me want to push forward even harder in my career as not only a artist, but as a writer as well. It makes me feel good inside I guess you could say, it's just one of those videos I guess. It doesn't just give off the feelings of loneliness, hope and love. But passion and optimism as well.
Cant belive its allready been 15 years since this absolute gem that accompanied me though my two or so years of insomnia came out
I remember I used to watch this when I was little on repeat. Now I found it again and I’m nostalgic. Like a feeling that I want to cry.
I feel the same way
me too. i used to put this on repeat and sleep to the music. i was in elementary when i first watched this and now im about to go to high school. typing it out seems new to me… man do i miss the old days.
I first watched this with my sisters back when I was in my teens. 2024 and I still go back to these short animations to remind me of the good old days...
YOU CANNOT STOP ME FROM FEELING SAD FROM THIS
It's been so long since I first have seen this animation, yet it is one of the few things that I can never forget. It has, for some reason, become a core memory.
This was really well done , I love it so much. Please make more
I found this video many years ago, 2015/2016 maybe, and I commented on my other account a little story of this video and so many people replied to it, telling me I could make kids books. I can’t find my comment anymore, but this video and those comments live in my mind to this day and have inspired me so much, and I’m so happy this video has inspired and meant a lot to others. I come back to this video every so often, and it still brings me inspiration and motivation to continue writing. Thank you, creator of this video, for inspiring so many and putting your works out there for us to see. You’ve done an amazing job and I hope you still continue your art to this day
omg i remember that comment !! it was a beauutiful piece :') glad to hear you're still writing ❤🩹!!
Don't worry everyone.
He'll be back to dance with her tomorrow night.
XShadOBabeX that is a lol moment
really?
Exotic Butters 😭 whhhhyyy??
XD
If only if only
its back
in my recommended
after 14 years
I always watch it at least once a month, just to remind me the first time I discovered this animation, I love it so much. It's a huge memory core for me. Even after 14 ans, I find it as beautiful as the first day I watched it
An excellent animation in it's own right
So, there are 3 meanings of the word "entropy", depending on the context.
One is decline of predictability into disorder. (the unplanned, chance meeting of the two characters could be this, maybe?)
In thermodynamics it refers to lacking of thermal energy to convert into mechanical work. (The cold and desolate earth is all but stopped in time until the two meet?)
The third definition is the rate of information transfer within a message or language. (If we consider the music and dance to be a metaphorical language or message between the two character, this fits.)
in one word - the disappearance of in chaos and shown simply and quickly
@@annamaria8957 Espeically with those loud banging noises at the end
I actually found this video because I was searching for videos on thermodynamic entropy. Not exactly what I was looking for, but I am not disappointed.
Its so beautiful and touching and i've fallen in love with this short animation! It has so many significances for me it would be that everyone has the person who is the other missing half like how he plays music and she dances and they made a beautiful harmony of song and dance
WHOA! So freaking awesome! *U* Wow! Loved it! The teleportation to the moon and the song, especially, were freaking GORGEOUS! *U*
I found this video years ago, lost it, searched for years, then found it again. This will forevermore be apart of my musical world
I am so happy, I have been searching everywhere for this video, I was starting to think I would never find this video again
I can't
I need more
a sequel
a fucking MOVIE
PLEASE
I CANT DIE UNTIL THEY MEET AGAIN
I REFUSE TO DIE
OTP MAN ;A;
+Canine Deadline
then as future movie director, i'll see if i can get permission to use this video as a starting point for a movie... ^.^
Kelsey ShadowWolf PLEASE. I WILL LOVE YOU SO MUCH IF THIS HAPPENS
+Canine Deadline And thus you might have just become immortal.
+Kio Kurashi
XD.... good one...
I FEEL THE SAME WAY OTP
Commenting because I watched “Bubble” on Netflix, and knew instantly where I recognized the concept from. I used to watch this short animated film over and over when I was younger, and always wished it was a series or movie. What a nice surprise.
the art style impressed me. the music made me smile and it's just beautiful.
I love the animation and art style too. The elegant and somewhat eggauraged motions are beautiful!
I’ve watched this short since I was young, now I’ve grown with new perspective and I love and appreciate this beautiful animation, soundtrack and sound effect even more. Chills.
I’ve been looking for this short film for a few months now . I used to watch it constantly when I was a kid and I’m just so happy I found it . I still remember every detail about it as if the last time id seen it was yesterday . Absolutely lovely video and reminder of happy memories.
This reminds me of my dreams of a specific person that I know is out of my league but I can't stop thinking of that specific person but this video gave me hope and what not
This took me so long to find but i still love this animation so much!
Awww he left her a star to remember him by that's honestly sweet
im in love with the song at the end..
What is the title @-@
2022 and I’m still coming back to this masterpiece :,)
I’m coming back in 2023- come watch it again! :)
I wish this was a series or something, I love these characters and the idea of the video in general
I remember finding this as kid and watching it on repeat because every aspect was just so beautiful. I hope the artist is onto bigger things.
I remember when I first saw this in 2010-2011 I was in love with the song and story still in this day I'm still amazed
Never saw this before, but could feel the nostalgi from it
I forgot about this due to the stress of life until just now. Glad I remembered.
This short film is the most beautiful I have ever seen.
This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Every part of this is pure atmosphere, storytelling, and emotion, all of it without a single line of dialogue. This is what I aspire to do.
The best part? Even though we all want one, we don't need a movie, or a sequel, or even much of an explanation. We can all come to our own conclusions about what's going to happen.
Me personally? I like to think she visits him every night, and they eventually fall in love. I'd like to think that at some point she's able to permanently stay with him, however that may come about.
One can only hope.
It only makes sense that she sees him every night, given that she can travel to and from the moon, as proved by the video.
14years old and it just popped up on my feed again i remember when this just came out still good to this day 2024
I'm so happy this is still here
I still adore this animation so much! I absolutely love the characters and use of swirls and other shapes!
i'm really happy i stumbled upon this
Beautiful! Amazing story and a sweet and sad music. Along with breathtaking animation, this is one of my favorite short films to this day
Still a better love story than twilight
Well if that's what your comparing it to.
Pssh, hell yea! For some reason I wish this were a book...
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
What year is this
Jake English it was made in 2009
I could watch an entire film about this.
I see this as she was living life normally, maybe she doesnt like it but its her life, when suddenly she met a stranger. He changed a lot about her for the better. She might have loved him. But oh too soon he left, taking with him the happiness he had brought. Leaving her to go back to normal.
After almost 14 years this video is still a full blown masterpiece. It’s great to know that one of my core childhood memories is still going strong
I’m so glad I found this animation again, but does anyone else remember one from around 2011-2013 about 2 fantasy-like creatures with wings that wear masks? And one of them puts a mask on and metamorphosises into something new?? I can’t for the life of me find it, but the storyline was beautiful and it had such gorgeous music to it.
I know it’s old cuz I have vague memories of it, I just can’t seem to find it. I don’t remember the name of the short film nor the creator.
It’s called the butterfly dragon!! it’s also one of my faves😭😭
@@atxbee
OMG!!! THANK YOU SO MUCHHH!!! I cried buckets of tears getting to rewatch it and hear the song. You’re the best!!!😭♥️♥️♥️
I finaly found it!!! this animation was living in the back of my mind since childhood, and now i'm feeling good ❤
You guys, I'm literally crying tears of joy right now. I found this animation again. I searched it for so long but i couldn't remember the name, just the thumbnail. I just found it by accident again and i'm so very glad that i did.
That happened to me too omg I was so happy when I found it again
Me too, took like a year
Still a better love story than twilight XD
ANY love story's better than Twilight.
+ENTURNAL SLAUGHTER MUCH better.
Erulasse Aranel yeah
ENTURNAL SLAUGHTER IKR? XDDDD
Micah Brown yeah XD
I can see the tears and sweat put into this animation... I LOVE THIS!!!
Seen you last time in my chemestry book, happy to see you again *Entropy*
This made me feel so sad and lonely, yet hopeful and uplifted.
I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG OMG. I had forgotten it's name and it was so far back in my favourites that I couldn't find it. Then i heard the word entropy in a song i was listening to and it clicked and im so happy now.
You should add it to your 'watch later' list so you won't forget about it,I finally have a use for that thing XD
for the past month ive been thinking of this animation that i watched as a kid, its still as pretty as i remember it being, wish i could know more about the world and characters though
These old memories are just magically when watching late at night and everything is silent
