i remember a year ago or a few months ago, i asked (or said, i dont remember It too Well) Anna to sing this song from another account, i think, just because i love anna's voice and the crane wives, is one of my fav bands ever i am stressed because of homework, and this is gonna def make me feel better Without any doubt dare i say this is one of the best covers Anna made so far?!
My friend won't stop talking about Crane wives. I listened to only 3 of their songs and this is one of them. This is fueling my inevitable decision to be a Crane Wives enjoyer
Her names, are many. To some, her name is Wane. To others, her name is Wave. To a few, her name is Silver. To me? Her name was not a sound mortals could make. No. Her name was not something made to be uttered by the sinful mouths of mortals. Her name was made to be uttered by the waves of the sea, the howling of wolves, and the dreadful cold of the unkind and uncaring cosmus. Until now, her name was not meant to be spoken- and then I realized. Her name wasn't a word. It was a song. Edit: For those who are wondering- Yes, I do write. Fanfic, that is. Edit 2, Electric Bogaloo™: Yes, I write on Ao3. No, I'm not gonna tell ya'll my url, I want to be left alone and writing for my fandoms in the corner of my enclosure like the feral little cryptic creature I am.
holy shit that’s beautiful; is it a song or a poem or something? Where is this from?? Edit: You WROTE THIS?!?!! 🤯 Dang, that’s quite the talent you have there! I thought this was from like an official poet or author or something.
“Have you ever heard the story, of how the Sun loved the Moon so much, he died every night to let her breathe? Some say she sings to him. Hoping for the one day they can be together to dance and sing”.
Lyrics (mostly for me): Tell me once again I could have been anyone, anyone else Before you made the choice for me My feet knew the path We walked in the dark, in the dark I never gave a single thought to where it might lead All those empty rooms We could have been anywhere, anywhere else Instead, I made a bed with apathy My heart knew the weight Ten years worth of dust and neglect We made our peace with weariness and let it be The moon will sing a song for me I loved you like the sun Bore the shadows that you made With no light of my own I shine only with the light you gave me I shine only with the light you gave me Name your courage now We could have had anything, anything else Instead, you hoarded all that's left of me Swallowin' your doubt Like swords to the pit of my belly I want to feel the fire that you kept from me The moon will sing a song for me I loved you like the sun Bore the shadows that you made With no light of my own I shine only with the light you gave me I shine only with the light you gave me I shine only with the light you gave me (I could have been anyone, anyone) I shine only with the light you gave me (I could have been anyone, anyone)
And EPIC song last week and now the Crane Wives??? Anna get out of my playlist 😤 The violin with your voice STUNNING??? this WILL be consuming my very being for the next 5 business weeks thank you very much
After all the times of me listening to this song I just got that the “ooo” interludes was the moon singing. Also, your tone in this song is absolutely perfect for my ears
This song means so much to me in so many ways and it hearing it in the voice of a woman who I've been listening to for years is such a wonderful experience.
You did an absolutely fantastic job with this, it sounds so incredibly gorgeous, I couldn't help but sing, grin and lean into the song and your incredible voice the entire time
The Crane Wives are one of my favorite bands of all time, it makes me so happy to see you come back with them! I hope Hollow Moon can be on the future cover list. 💞
This is a gorgeous cover! (Both for the singing and the artist.) Your voice sounds SO BEAUTIFUL!! The instrumental is also soo chef’s kiss!! If you’re open to suggestions, then I’d love to hear a cover of either “The Hand That Feeds” or “Take Me to War” both by the same artist, the Crane Wives. Your voice holds so much emotion and i’d love to hear it more in these songs. The Crane Wives are also huge fav of mine, glad to see the recognition! :D
I was listening to this song on repeat this week and then I woke up to this. What a great way to start the day! Your cover is wonderful as always Anna!
This may be the most beautiful thing you have ever contributed to the Internet. The singing, the instrumentation, and that gorgeous artwork! How perfect for the first weekend of the most haunted month of the year.
I think, quite possibly, my favourite thing about Anna's covers is the range she uses, as it's closer to mine than most things I listen to and makes certain things easier to follow. Reminds me fondly of my mother, too, for that very reason c:
One of my friends introduced this song to me by saying it made her think of 2 of my OCs relationship. So it always makes me think of them and that friend.
Don't make me cry, this is so beautiful! I love the Crane Wives (I'm going to their concert this month) and your voice fits this song so beautifully 💜💜💜🔥
i love this song its always a crowd pleaser at their concerts and god your voice is really powerful and draws out such a different quality of this song. i love it. thanks so much for this!
Currently picking my jaw up off the floor. Your voice is incredible and this video is FLITTERIFIC!! This fox is so glad to have stumbled across your magic creations!
the voice and song itself is just so beautiful, but with the instrumental, so much passion and flavor is added and i got so much goosebumps just feeling the instrumental i could feel it in my bones- there's just SO MUCH there. falling harder in love with strings with each day that passes.
was no one gonna tell me about this oh my GOSHHH the moon will sing is SOOOOO dear to me i’m so glad anna covered it NOW WE HAVE FOXLORE *AND* COYOTE STORIES REP FROM ANNA!!!!
I have no words, this is fantastic. The Crane Wives are my absolute favorite band, and your doing them so much more than justice, thank you for this beautiful cover Anna :)
This song got me through such a bad time recently, having to deal with cutting off my toxic best friend of 11 years. It helped me move on and accept things, while also giving me an outlet to express how she hurt me. I've loved annapantsu for so many years, ever since her cover of Daze. Having her and this song come together after making so much progress for myself is so surreal < 3 It's been about two years and I have no regrets.
the original song sounded like a resentful child singing to their parent. this version feels like a woman in an arranged marriage to someone a little older finally realizing it may not have been as healthy and adoring as she originally thought and took a lot out of her
Sounds to me like two people who love each other but aren't able to have their feelings meet. One was more open than the other, but they could "only shine with the light you gave me", they swallowed swords because they "wanted to feel the fire you kept from me".
"I shine only with the light you gave me" said the girl with a tearful smile, towards the man who she has succumbed into. A girl yearning for the love she barely receives, lunging at the scraps of false commitment. "I shine only with the light to gave me" says the sad and lonely girl, sitting at a window hoping and praying and waiting for the day he'd say i love back and mean it. And when he does, deep down she knows it's a lie. "I shine only with the light you gave me" says the girl with a half slight smile. Waiting for the day she allows her mind to break the chains of the cage she forced herself in. For a man that will never love her the way she yearns. "I shined only with the light you had given me" says the girl one final time, knowing her fate, sitting still and looking pretty to endure the scraps of love he barely shows her. A tearful smile, a whispered plea, "I shine, my love, with light from thee." A yearning heart, a love so deep, For scraps of warmth, a promise to keep. She sits alone, by window pane, Hoping, praying, for love's sweet refrain. He speaks the words, but deep inside, A hollow echo, where truth should reside. A half-formed smile, a mask she wears, For love's illusion, she sets her snares. The cage she built, a gilded lie, For a love that's false, she's forced to try. One final breath, a whispered sigh, "I shined, my love, beneath your sky." Her fate is sealed, a tragic end, A love unrequited, a broken friend. (a short story and poem based on my experience, i really like that one line and made a tiny piece)
I love the moon man it’s just cool
the moon man owes me money
@@livi_bwopbeat him up
You are Selene.
You are the goddess of it!
And you are the Moon’s perfect voice!
@@annapantsu You can take him!
@@annapantsu happy Halloween
NO JOKE THE FIRST TIME I LISTENED TO THE SONG I WENT "oh man, annapantsu would sound GREAT singing this!!" AND MY WISHES HAVE BEEN GRANTED.
Same, and so many more good crane wives songs I'd absolutely love to hear her sing. Like never love an anchor or scarecrow bones.
SAME OH MY GOD
AS A CRANE WIVES FAN IN THE HEIGHT OF COVID I WAS WAITING FOR SO LONG
YES!!!
One of the greatest bands ever, covered by one of the greatest singers ever. Scrumptious. Take my money and my kidney

The moon finally found a goddess' voice capable of fitting her
My first girlfriend turned into the moon
@@dewmilk7266 that's rough buddy...
The original song had a plenty goddess-like voice.
@@G3haries and Her name is Anna, in the role of Selene!
omg
its like she has Apollo's musical talent
and her voice fits artemis
I'm not sure if that made any sense, lol

This is fueling my inevitable decision to be a Crane Wives enjoyer
One of us one of us one of us (they slap, enjoy)
ONE OF US ONE OF US

@@KayFey_E3294 we will appear.
OMG i’ve been listening to this song on repeat for weeks :0

"Never Love an Anchor" would sound amazing!
Allies or enemies too!!
or tongues and teeth!
omg i just checked on this again, this is the most likes I've gotten.
Her names, are many.
To some, her name is Wane.
To others, her name is Wave.
To a few, her name is Silver.
To me? Her name was not a sound mortals could make.
No. Her name was not something made to be uttered by the sinful mouths of mortals.

Bro how are you not a famous poet by now:OO?
This gives me goosebumps, the good kind
I like it! Picasso!
Beautiful, what fics do you write? what platform and what's your username?
“Have you ever heard the story, of how the Sun loved the Moon so much, he died every night to let her breathe? Some say she sings to him. Hoping for the one day they can be together to dance and sing”.
I'm so glad the crane wives are getting their music further out of Michigan. They are so sweet and incredibly talented!!
I have loved them for 4 years now, I'm so happy they are getting credit for their amazing work
This Cover is peak art!
The Drawing, The Voice!
It’s just chef’s kiss!
Thank you for an audiovisual treat on this very good Saturday, Anna!
Crane wives!!! I'm going to be listening to this on repeat for the next week.❤
Lyrics (mostly for me):
Tell me once again
I could have been anyone, anyone else
Before you made the choice for me
My feet knew the path
We walked in the dark, in the dark
I never gave a single thought to where it might lead
All those empty rooms
We could have been anywhere, anywhere else
Instead, I made a bed with apathy
My heart knew the weight
Ten years worth of dust and neglect
We made our peace with weariness and let it be
The moon will sing a song for me
I loved you like the sun
Bore the shadows that you made
With no light of my own
I shine only with the light you gave me
I shine only with the light you gave me
Name your courage now
We could have had anything, anything else
Instead, you hoarded all that's left of me
Swallowin' your doubt
Like swords to the pit of my belly
I want to feel the fire that you kept from me
The moon will sing a song for me
I loved you like the sun
Bore the shadows that you made
With no light of my own
I shine only with the light you gave me
I shine only with the light you gave me
I shine only with the light you gave me
(I could have been anyone, anyone)
I shine only with the light you gave me
(I could have been anyone, anyone)
my fav singer and fav song, RELEASED ON THE DATE OF MY BIRTH??? BLESSED BY THE LADY OF THE MOON FR😞🙏🏽
Happy birthday!

This is one of my best friends favorite songs and hearing it always reminds me of her 😊
this band is so underrated, pls spread the gospel of crane wives so we can maybe get copies of the vinyl that aren't bank breaking to import !!!
The Crane Wives is one of my favourite groups
Anna is truly one of my favorite artists, anytime she releases a song i have to save it to my playlist.
Currently picking my jaw up off the floor. Your voice is incredible and this video is FLITTERIFIC!! This fox is so glad to have stumbled across your magic creations!
By far best cover yet!!! ❤

The stars and the moon shine brighter as Anna sings so beautifully at night
This song hurts so good. I love the crane wives sm
This is genuinely one of my favorite songs and seeing my favorite cover artist sing it makes me so happy💜
Girly, i love this vibe so much! So heartbreaking but soothing like honey... gives me bittersweet villainess feels!

A tearful smile, a whispered plea, "I shine, my love, with light from thee." A yearning heart, a love so deep, For scraps of warmth, a promise to keep.
She sits alone, by window pane, Hoping, praying, for love's sweet refrain. He speaks the words, but deep inside, A hollow echo, where truth should reside.
A half-formed smile, a mask she wears, For love's illusion, she sets her snares. The cage she built, a gilded lie, For a love that's false, she's forced to try.
One final breath, a whispered sigh, "I shined, my love, beneath your sky." Her fate is sealed, a tragic end, A love unrequited, a broken friend.
