- This is Children of the Moon! My new Epic Celtic Folk single, accompanied by a 2D illustrated animation video. It's set in a fantasy world, but the story has similarities with things that happen in our reality.
Societal norms that take away children’s autonomy and grant full authority to parents are really strong and extended, they're the norm. What happens inside the household is a "private matter" and goes unchallenged. And if you give full authority to someone over another human being, and never hold them accountable, abuse is going to happen at some point in many cases. From smaller but harmful microaggressions, to more explicit verbal or physical violence. The result from all this is that many kids are trapped in a terrible situation from which they can't escape, because the surrounding community will either not believe them, or even think that the parents' behaviour is justified. And all this is especially bad for LGBTQIA+ kids, who have a lot more chances to face rejection and mistreatment from their parents 😔
Many people argue that abuse is not just about some "bad apples", but about a system of social values that enables it and makes it very likely for it to appear. The abuser knows who they are allowed to abuse, and how much they're allowed to do it, because society taught them and gave them that power. That's why it's so important to challenge the authoritarian functioning of the traditional family, and to find community outside of it when it's not a safe place. Big hugs to all abuse survivors ❤🩹
Reading Lee Shevek has helped me a lot to understand how abuse works, as well as other important subjects. You can follow her or read her essays if you’re interested:

I find the forest spirit to be quite a fascinating character. His righteous fury, his gentle kindness, his slight naivete in assuming that the city knights must be good and heroic figures. He's separated from humanity, both biologically and socially, and yet still fundamentally holding those qualities we most ascribe to the quality of 'humanity.' A powerful outsider able to act where others cannot or will not, the sort of person everyone dreams of being rescued by at least once in their life no matter how charmed ones life is. A distinctly archetypal hero in an unusual form.
Lovely description 💙
Agreed!
i have a similar pair of figures in my D&D world, both espouse kindness, gentility, harmony, and philanthropy, but gods forbid they discover you harmed an innocent, or worse a child, their fury is boundless and no haven is safe from them or their agents, if this child ended up before either of them, the father would not see the next dawn.
I liked it too!❤
They would protect all those in need!
"But having nowhere you could go, that I don't forgive!" is an interesting line. As a forest spirit, he symbolises the concept of having the freedom to roam or spread to wherever they wish, but also that forests have distinct boundaries which they don't cross. If trees don't spread to a certain distance, they form a boundary and stay there, or until the requirements to continue expanding have been met. Basically, the fact that this child wasn't protected nor looked after, but forced to flee and wasn't even allowed to grant him any place to settle would go against every rule of the forest. Which explains his righteous anger. At least from my point of view.
*Sequel:* Forest spirit collects children and adopted them, protecting them in his realm, and they grow up to become druid rangers which protect the forest from monsters and humans, and the forest quickly develops the reputation of being the "Dark Forest".
Crap, this makes me wanna write a *fanfic* about this. 😗
This was very good, Ian! Well done! ❤💯👍
Omg I love this 😍😍😍 If you ever write anything around this let me know, I'd want to read it!
@@IanFontova Aye, I shall when I can. I'll be sure to come back with a link once I'm done. 😉👍
I am leaving a comment here in hopes that if you do write and leave a link I will get a notification for it.
same. I may already be stealing this for a druid NPC in my own campaign@@IanFontova
YES, PLEASE WRITE THIS! 😍🤩
When I was a little girl, my 'home' wasn't safe. So I used to run away into the forest and search for fairies amongst the streambeds and ferns. This song struck a chord with me... my 9 month old daughter will always have a home and hearth and my protection.
Beautiful song, lyrics and video.
I'm sure she will. It's becoming a routine to check the new comments of this video and cry a bit before I move on with my day. You're all awesome people, thanks for sharing this 💙
Home should be safe!
Your story is so similar to mine I also ran into the woods to escape
I am sorry to hear that, I hope you found your freedom and safety.
@@lynnwallis8654 I am sorry, we both deserved better. I would have played dolls and searched for fairies with you if we were in the same time and forest.
I wasn't abused by my parents as a kid, but I've had so many people I trusted hurt me. This song drove me to tears
❤🩹
the moment when the child ask hopeful yet fearful for help - and gets way more than he expected -can't say how much that touched me knowing someone who was abused the worst way possible from her father and had noone to turn to that time - may everyone in need get an angel in whatever shape
How naively I clicked on this expecting a fantasy folk song. Only to weep upon realising the reality woven into the fantasy. You evoke such beautiful cruel emotion in this. I am fortunate enough to live in a safe home thanks to my mother. She shields me from the evils of life because she wasn't afforded the same.
Domestic abuse is no joke and I am grateful you are covering this issue so eloquently in song.
The forest is a wonderful thematic device for a safe haven. Something that provides safe harbour and takes serious of the injustice of being refused refuge. I love reading the comments here. Everyone has such wonderful interpretations. Reminds me of English class, but this feels infinitely more meaningful and relevant.
I will always remember "Darkness looks like haven when fiends hide in plain sight" a reminder that the greatest evils are the realest ones.
Thank you Mr Fontova, for something rich and worthwhile in an era where thing seem exceedingly shallow and insensitive.
Thank you so much for your words :) I'm also amazed to read all the beautiful comments you all are leaving here 💙
My friend, I have no words to express how good that was. The music is so gorgeous, and so are the animations. I cannot wait for the Volume 2 !
Thanks :)
Gee gods, It’s Peter Crowley himself!
No way! I listen to your music too!
I was bullied a lot as a kid and my home life was not great. As a result I ended up loving the night. I feel safer walking alone at night then any where else. Love this song.
Thanks for sharing this ❤️🩹
My wooden boat is named ‘Ayla’ , which means ‘halo of the moon’ … maybe a good name for one of your little friends ??? 👩
That’s a pretty name.
What language/culture does that come from?
Oh I always wondered what that ment Ayla is a character in a video game i play shes a Chief Lady the games Chrono Trigger
@@AbstractQueer In Turkish, Ayla means the same meaning, also 'Ay' means the moon in Turkish, but I guess the origin of Ayla is Hebrew and Turkish.
💜
Heartbreaking story. An enchanted wood. And a horned owl I've never known of before. This is precious.
Tears in my eyes and a smile on my face. You made my day Ian. Thank you from the bottom of my witchy soul.
😍😍😍 Thanks for your words :)
The horned man can take many forms
My home wasn't safe growing up. But I will provide a safe home for my children.
This song gave me chills. Such a powerful ballad, and one of my new favorites.
I was never abused, but I do have demons that I run from, and I have always considered the wilderness my safe haven, and my friend who have been abused feel the same.
I have been mentally/psychologically abused my entire teenage years, so I must admit that this song hits hard. I wish I had an Eerie Bright Eyed friend to protect me, but no one ever came
The lyrics “Darkness looks like haven when fiends hide in plain sight.” hit hard every time.
It's fiends not friends, but yeah it do be hitting hard
@@logansray oh. Lol
@@logansray there I fist it 😄
@@lilhedgehog8576 YOU DID WHAT TO IT!!!
@@logansray I FIXT IT! 😭😂😂
Ooo. This one hit me in multiple ways. I expected so much beautiful art and music, and you've more than delivered.❤️🙏🏼 But I have also been a child of the moon in my life, wandering at nights to feel free and safe in the darkness, and sometimes with my siblings and friends, and processing parental abuse since then. I've also been a volunteer advocate at a domestic and sexual violence services organization, and I see these kids (and abused spouses) around me more often than I think is right. This is beautiful, for obvious reasons, as well as for those that may not be as easy for some to see, but which are very clear to those who haven't had a voice for their struggles.
Thank you.
Thanks a lot for sharing your story, it means a lot to me 💙
My name is Rhiannon and I've reflected this very same opinion - that children should not be so deprived of rights and autonomy - for almost my entire life just to go unheard. This is beautiful. Thank you.
This hit so hard, I'm ngl. I have too many friends who were abused by their parents, and even my own parents went through that. Just knowing how hard it is for a kid to run from a traumatizing childhood makes this song hit hard. I can't count how many times I'd be messaged in the middle of the night by my now adult friends because they had night terrors of their parents, how many times I've sat with them as they fall into another pit of depression because "they're not good enough". This song legitimately almost made me cry.
Having caring people around that offer safe spaces, like you did, is a key aspect of being able to get out 💙
@@IanFontova I really appreciate that. I'll always be there for them, no matter how dark things get. They may not be able to change their past, but together, we can always craft a bright future.
I have heard this for some years now and then. Today was looking at the video and listening to the song again at umpteenth time. I am a man of 37, a doctor professor, teach in med school.
And I wept specially near the end. It always moves me. There is something so moving about benevolent powers, compassion and love even in places most unlikely, and I have seen it time and time again. People can be bad, things can be bad, but even there good things often find their ways.
This song has a special place in my friends and my own heart. It came on by accident during a dnd session.
Truely a spectical to my eyes and like honey to my ears!
That's lovely :)
This song is so beautiful i nearly cried. I adore your music and work, and i especially appreciate these amazing celtic tunes which also tell a tale, but not just any tale, but that slip in social commentary that's important to have.
Child autonomy is so heavily disrespected in our society today, and i've seen how deep those rotten roots grow, I've met countless people, and have many friends who have their own tales of abuse, neglect, of having their boundaries trampled upon, and having everyone else around them turn a blind eye, make excuses for their abuser, or outright take their abuser's side, ESPECIALLY if the wounds aren't physical. Even then, when you find few who may listen if any, they don't know what to do, or don't bother to do something, they express hollow sympathy but don't dare to try, because full authority of a parent is placed on a pedestal in our society, while the constant, demonstrable harms are just overlooked, or swept under the rug, if not called "normal". As a rotten cherry on top, some of the people who argue against this, somehow argue that child autonomy would put children more in danger to abuse or predation, not just ignoring the fact that the total authority of a parent multiplies this 100 fold already, but that allowing children to say no, to set boundaries, and to stand up for themselves, is part of preventing those things from happening.
These conversations need to be had but too many don't even engage with it, too many will only throw out snarky, bad faith responses to these things, like pointing out how children don't know a lot, or might be immature, or might set some "unreasonable boundary" (very important to press them on why depending on the context), which even if they do, doesn't change the importance of this topic. Obviously it's not reasonable for a child to set a boundary of "i will only eat candy" for example, but that's never what we're talking about, but it's along the lines of the kind of sarcastic, snarky, bad faith responses people will throw out as a way to dismiss the subject entirely, rather to think critically about how we treat children in our society, and how it can enable abuse, predation, and a slew of other harmful things.
(Also there's a misspelling in the description of LGBTQIA+)
On another note, could i recommend some streamers i watch who talk about these issues to react to this song on stream? if not i understand, but I just wanted to check for permission and if it was copyright.
Thank you so much for your time writing this 💙 I'm really glad to have people expanding on it on the comments, I support everything you said. I'm no expert on the topic, but I find it absolutely enraging how normalized all this harm is. A lot of things that everyone agrees are totally unacceptable to do to another human being, they're ok if they're done to kids because they don't know what's best for them. And society goes along with it.. I feel like a lot of kids are alone and unprotected, while being one of the groups that need more care and understanding, as they're still learning how everything works, and so they're more vulnerable. Sometimes they might now know what's best for them, but that requires help, companionship, guidance.. It's not an excuse to cross their boundaries and wield authority over them. And I'd say that most of the time they DO know what's best for them, it's just that the assumption that they don't, brings adults to not even listen.
You can totally recommend this to the streamers you watch. About the copyright, I'm afraid I don't know much about how RUclips and Twitch handle it. I set the Standard RUclips License when I upload my videos, and I don't check the "RUclips Content ID" thing when I upload the music to Spotify, in case someone wants to use it in a cool way. If there'd be any kind of copyright issue, it'd come from the platforms side, not mine. And I'd try my best to solve it so they can use the video without problems.
ps: thanks for the misspelling clarification, corrected!
@@IanFontova I completely agree with what you said. It's so odd to see people argue that because children may not always know what's best for them, that means that it's somehow justified to wield authority over them maliciously, rather than educating them on dangers, being patient, guiding, compassionate, and understanding.
As someone who has also been through abusive experiences with parents, it seriously feels like some parents don't actually think through why they want children other than having a cute living thing to own as property, and they don't actually put forth the effort to learn how to understand, guide, teach, and raise a child. Then when their child acts like a human being separate from them, with their own thoughts, opinions, and flaws, they lash out, and justify horrid treatment towards children in place of more compassionate responses, and while they'll argue it's to teach them, for many, it doesn't come off as trying to teach their child better, it comes off as them taking their anger out on their child, using them as an emotional punching bag to vent their frustrations and struggles of being a parent, a responsibility they chose, onto their child. It's repulsive, but abusers will always justify their lashing out as teaching their child when all it teaches children is to fear their parent, to be secretive, and to lie, and trick their parent into calming down out of self defense and fear of their safety.
As for copyright, i see, thank you for the info, do you want to know the streamers in advance that i want to recommend to so they can contact you if any weird youtube copyright stuff happens?
@@akira1086 Totally, having kids for the wrong reasons is one of the big variables in all this 😔 The reality clashes with the ideal they had in mind (often shaped by prejudice and bigotry), and the kid, which is the one that had no say on being brought there, pays the consequences. I'm sorry this happened to you, it happened to so many people I would say, in some degree. Big hugs and thanks for sharing your perspective, I think it's really valuable 💙
Do you mean puting me and those streamers in contact? I'm fine with everything, you could give them my email (ianfontova@gmail.com) if that makes sense, or whatever you think works better :)
@@IanFontova Agreed, also thank you.
As for the streamers, whichever works best for you, whether you want me to put you in contact with them, or if i should just inform them of what you said and hand them your contact. No guarantees they'll view the song, but asking in advance, cause rightfully so, many streamers worry about copyright so they'll avoid songs like this unless they know it's safe to cover.
@@akira1086 Ok! So, if you're alright with it and want to suggest it yourself to whichever streamers you see fit (including what I said about the copyright and my contact info), that'd be cool :) Thanks a lot for spreading the word about the video!
Absolutely beautiful, genuinely magical, wonderfully crafted. Thank you for the phenomenal music!!
I'm surprised how much this song means to me. At first, I didn't expect much, but I turned out to be wrong. The part which resonated the most with me was the second verse where the spirit finds that she can't trust anyone. It's the first time a song has ever made my cry. Everything about this, from the music, the meaning, the animation, is perfect!
Thank you 💙
This is beautiful and profound. I already loved your music (and finally became a patron once I realized I was listening basically every day :) ) - but as someone who has experienced multiple forms of violence in my life, and who has worked in the antiviolence sector for years, I am truly grateful for Children of the Moon. Thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing this and for your support on Patreon, I am honored 💙
RUclips randomly recommended this to me, and I started listening to this as a sort of background music for something else, as I took it for some cool but ordinary folk themed music. Then I caught the lyrics of verse 2, felt chills running all over me, and I felt compelled to redtart and give it a proper watch and listen. Amazing work ❤
From the bottom of my heart, thank you. You're truly one of the best composers of the era, and I mean it. Your music is powerful, enchanting, and makes us want to dance all night.
Be blessed forever, Ian Fontova. You deserve it.
This video is simply stunning! From the music to the animation and the themes, everything here is great. Outstanding performance, Ian!
Noodle arms Gobbo is my spirit animal! xD
Adrian von Ziegler, BrunuhVille, Ivan Torrent, Phil Rey Gibbons, Tony Gram, Two Steps From Hell. Now we also got Peter Crowley and YOU too!
I’ve been listening to you for 6 years, you’re great as always, thank you
I can’t stop listening to this song. It’s just too good for words!
I burst into tears as I listened to this. It seems my inner child still has a lot left to heal. Thanks for offering me solace under the moon, next to the monsters I've come to know and trust more than the fiends who hide in plain sight.
Thanks to you for your words 💙
I love this song. As a person with anxiety disorder and social anxiety, I have become more of a tsundere and a ice queen as I got older. I find it very hard to trust others. Sometimes, I can think about memories that hits me very hard that I let waterworks (tears) out. When I listen to this song, it helps me escape to the magic forest where my special someone and I dance to this song and having fun with my animal friends watching us.
Thanks for the song, Ian. 💖💖💖💖
I worked while listening to this, my tiredness slowly disappeared. Thank you, great job 👏
That's for sure perfection ❤. The time spent for the animation is totally worth it. Appreciate the hard work you put for us in your musics. You honestly deserve much more. Time to put it on repeat haha.
And here I sit, speechless, shedding a tear.
This is a masterpiece, Ian. ❤🔥The lyrics! The music! The marvelous artwork! Your words about this sensible, important topic. ❣
I'm beyond words. Thank you. Thank you so much for your wonderful art! 🥰
(jamming along on my hurdy gurdy to this 😘)
This is so nice, thank you for your words :)
You got a Hurdy Gurdy!?!? Please post you playing along.
(I'm doing research on buying bagpipes but living in a built up area makes me think an accordion or Hurdy Gurdy would make for better relationships?)
@@mercyjokes2d696 I'd suggest the irish uilleann pipes, they sound quieter than scottish or galician bagpipes. It also depends on the reed you use. I ordered mine to a reed maker called Cesar Pastor (if you type Cesar Pastor reeds on Google he comes up), asking him for a smooth not-too-loud sound (because neighbours xD) and I'm really happy with it. I would say it's at a similar loudness level as my hurdy gurdy :)
As someone who had no one to turn to with a narcissistic home and family i tend to enjoy wondering in the woods and exploring, i find my home in walks along the lake while it rains nowdays, the forest will always be my safe place
Holy cow this is criminally underrated, so frikken good.
Apparently Spotify recommended me your song. I was not ready for how much the lyrics resonate in me once i saw this vid...
Some people nowadays see druids and rangers as hippies or rogues with extra steps, but this song would be a wonderful source of inspiration for making a druid and ranger character. If a forest and its inhabitants (both magical and mundane) can provide sanctuary to all in plight, then its likely that these tended souls will follow the path that ensues that not only is this sanctuary kept safe but even help others needing refuge like this out of empathy.
oh my god i have the perfect place to put something like this in my campaign! Even an amazing homebrew monster type, a druid lich. I'll just have to make then lawful good aligned but maybe spread rumors about then not being the best of person. Not looked at the stat block in a bit but i'm guessing that i probably don't want my party to be allies with em right away as i renember em being strong enough to at least a boss for an arc.
This was amazing! You are a talent that I hope to see more of one day. Thank you for your gift of music, and storytelling.
I've been having this on repeat almost not too long after you released this but I'm commenting something now because I just wanna say how much I appreciate this. The characters, the music and the storyline is phenomenal I get goosebumps everytime you sing the chorus. This is like one of the safe spaces on youtube for me lol
That's so beautiful, so glad to hear it 💙 Thank you!
The instrument is definitely a bard tavern music, i throw 5 gold coin to your pouch 🍻🎉
Oh boy, I was not ready for how amazing everything is in these short 6 minutes. Kudos and many thanks for producing this.
As someone who's trans this song hits home on a community though luckily not individual level.
I got major chills all over when I first heard this song, and even after four or five times I still get chills.
My dude, your voice gives me chills. And this song had me wanting both to comfort and seek vengeance all at once. I'll be watching this over and over, I already know ❤
The forest is or prairie is a excellent place to hide and think and go through your thoughts and peice things together what’s better is haveing a friend to talk to about where thoughts should go
wow just wow lost for words i saw this and though oh looks interesting i check it out and i was so glad i did i loved it made me cry i got the story straight away this is a beautiful way of showing how cruel the world can be and there is others out there that do care about it you got your self a new subscriber loved the music and words so cant wait to check out your other work well done on this video 👏👏👏👍👍❤❤❤❤
Than you and welcome!!
The worst part is that back then, he could have had his wife thrown in an insane asylum for hysteria and his daughter too for daydreaming or for wanting to run away into the woods. To get away was considered insane.
Totally, and sadly I'd say it doesn't differ much from nowadays... The idea of craziness and mental health institutions (or the threat of them) are used against survivors often, as far as I know. Because of course experiencing abuse makes you unstable, and it makes you react in ways and do things that you wouldn't do if you were ok. While the abuser often gets to look as the "reasonable" one, the one that is in control of the situation. How the "hysteria vs reason" duality is often used to enable abuse is a whole topic with a lot to unpack 😔
@@IanFontova Definitely. I just watched a video about this woman whose abusive husband put her in a mental institution and he convinced the doctors that she couldn’t make decisions for herself and he should make decisions for her.
@@faristasairuv5143 Sounds quite like the Britney Spears case 😔
I can say I was able to go to my parents for help. I was tortured in school before I was homeschooled and I do mean I have multiple surgeries ahead of me to try and mend my body so I can keep living life.
Love this song
That's terrible, I'm so sorry you had to go throught this 😞 Big hugs from here ♥🩹
Algorythm strikes again to the prettiest surprises man. It's like all of my favourite tropes and vocals in one song!!! HOW?????
You've been one of my main inspo these past years and i'm always so hyped when a new song comes out ! As always: great work !!
The light forever and always shines.
This song is my inspiration for an RPG character, Leshy druid, that protects a forest, so anybody needing help can go there.
I felt this so much and it made me cry. Thank you for composing this.
No words express how amazing this song is Ian! Just subscribed. Amazing!
Ah, wonderful. Just wonderful, no words to express that feeling.
Such a beautiful song accompanied by gorgeous animation. Im obsessed.
My home seemed perfect when I was little, but at ten it all fell apart when my parents divorced. I was lucky that I never had to deal with abuse, but I did suffer emotionally for years. When I met my husband, I didn't think I would want to marry so young, but I learned that I couldn't live without him, and now we're nearing our ninth anniversary and have two beautiful children. I'm being sure to give them love so that their images of a "perfect" family will never shatter as mine did.
I'm sorry to hear that 😔 I think that sometimes divorce is the best option for the kids wellbeing, but every situation is different. What matters most is providing that safe space that I'm sure you're giving them 💙
Qué canción más maravillosa y qué hermosa (y dura) la temática que has elegido para ella. Mis más sinceras felicitaciones. Ya tienes nuevo miembro de tu Patreon. Muchas gracias por tu música
Muchas gracias por tus palabras y por tu apoyo, ahora te escribo por Patreon :)
I love how the morning light comes after the father is gone, like the child can finally breathe again and won't have to fear the shadows anymore ❤🩹❤
came back six months later to say this song has been a huge inspiration for the goddess of death in my story, she has these exact vibes of kindness and shelter that can turn to righteous rage in an instant (she's the goddess of life as well, and loves to help children and lost souls in general despite her very disturbing appearance)
That's so cool :)
Omg this made me bawl my dad used to play a melody like this on his guitar and it brought back so many memories ever since he passed I got to his grave give him flowers and go on an adventure he was quite the opposite of this video but it still hits hard thank you so much for bringing back memories. It’s so sad since I can never hear that melody again so this makes me feel like I’m sitting in my bed going to bed while my dad sings me to sleep
💙💙💙
beautiful song, very emotional with a strong message. Loving it. Greetings from crazy krautland!
Dang you have me nearly bawling. I don't have resonant experiences but I ache for those who do.
this song has quickly become one of my top 30 songs for dnd moods
I have no words that could possibly express the way that this hit me. Well done.
Brilliant story telling in music, just love it, my hands and feet won't stay still❤❤❤❤
Beautiful, captured the mystery without breaking it. Thank you
Could have used this a decade ago. Glad some kids in similar situations might find it and find solace within.
these songs fill my head with character ideas- they're amazing
This song is valiant service to a deep deep cause
¡Enhorabuena!!
Suena genial la música, tu voz y una pasada la animación!
Deseo que te vaya muy bien ,Ian!!
this video and music and text are so beautiful, thank you for your creations
This is so beautiful but underrated! I'm so glad I've found this hidden gem!
This really reminded me of the movie “Nimona”. Very inclusive and supportive
That's an honour, I LOVE that movie so much 💙
This is such a good song, I love it so much, it rilly makes me swell with so much, true music, so good and such an amazing story.
Thank you so much for this.
Wow! Amazing, help those being abused, and care for all of those in need!
I got goosebumps from this!
Wow, stunning music Ian, the warm inviting folk style with the fantasy themed vocals/lyrics go so well together. Greetings and respect from a fellow multi-instrumentalist and musician from Sweden. Skål! 🍻🎻😊
Seriously, how can one second be so epic on so many levels?
Incredible composition there🙏💯🙏
This is fantastic, definitely gonna keep an ear out for anything more you release. Now time to go through the music that already been posted.
Child of the moon. this makes me feel calmer. felt like crying❤
Goddess how I wish I could give more than one like.
I'll try and share it with as many people as I can 🙏 this song is so so amazing at so many levels
This made me cry thank you for this master piece. Maybe one day I can use this audio for a future animation.
Videos like this make me wish I could hit the like button more then once. This was beautiful.🥺👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
these lyrics have feelings
Truly beautiful lm lessening to this next time I go hiking.
Been really in love with this one from you! Been humming it at work quite a bit, and playing it in the car. Love the melody, choice of instruments, and the story to go along with it! Looking forward to future works from you 💪
So cool 💙💙💙
Ian..... Wow...... The feeling your music invokes.... I cannot wait for more . Wow
Actual chills, thank you for this song.
This is a wonderful song.
This. This is art.
Tyftv! I love the art&animations, and the music is awesome to listen to!
Muy buen temazo, si señor!!!!
I could run a great RPG campaign based on this.
A.G.
My own sister. I was told to "cut the right way".
She doesnt even remember, she was too into substances.
But i remember. I remember every single day since then. Every word echos, and its just fleeting moments to her, barely existing
I don't get the "cut the right way" part (probably as I'm not a native english speaker) but I understand a lot the feeling of someone saying something incredible hurtful that stays with you forever, while they forget about it immediately... Hugs from here ❤🩹
Nature has allways been a close friend even when i was little i would take the dead branches out of the living limbs and the trees allways gave me a place to rest this song shows just how nature take care of us more showing than the man made gods
Good song, I listen it more than a few time since release, now I wonder what's next for our protagonist, will he remain there or go further?
