@@wanderingwolf2606 Kindness is not everything. Sometimes force is necesary to achieve something. Tho admittedly humanity is abusing it towards other people.
I’ve met the moon. He is kind, and he is gentle. He smiles softly and laughs so quietly that you can barely hear his joy. But if you listen closely, he is always speaking. The first time he spoke to me was in kindergarten. When I was younger, my mom had always called him “Mr. Moon.” I think she got it from baby’s book when I was younger. “Look, there’s Mr. Moon!” she would exclaim in the car, and I’d clap my tiny hands together in joy to see him riding his dark horse, Night, across the sky. I always knew Mr. Moon, but the first time he spoke to me was in kindergarten. I was in the car, tears streaming down my face. The kids at kindergarten had been brutish: calling me names and poking fun at my skin. They are not kind and gentle like the moon, I remember thinking. They were sparks. Hot and dangerous. Night had befallen the world as I sat in my car seat, staring out. My mom usually picked me up from daycare after the moon had risen in the sky. So on this night, as my small mind replayed every word the kids had taunted. And as I stared forlornly at the great circle in the sky, I heard him. No, he did not come to life and start spouting words at me. It was a much deeper connection than that. Like music, but the kind you can only hear. Like the moment in which you’re awestruck by something, but no one else seems to find it fascinating, so you try to soak in the beauty. Suddenly, the moon was close to me, and I heard his thoughts. I don’t remember exactly what he said, but I will remind you that the moon is kind. The moon is gentle. The moon does not speak with grating words, but with its soul. That was so long ago. And I am ashamed to say that I forgot about Mr. Moon. I grew up, as children tend to do. My body changed, and with it my mind. I forgot about lonely nights and weeping stars, distant lands and the people I once believed lived inside my TV set. I became engrossed with worldly things. Boys, makeup, cars, life. Growing up, as much as I promised myself it wouldn’t happen, came. I was 17 now. I didn’t have time to slow down and talk to my old friend, Mr. Moon. And so it was a special night in which I suddenly sat bolt upright in my bed, just as the clock struck 1:13am. And it so happened that the moon was positioned perfectly, and shone its beautiful silk words into my bedroom. Shafts of light scattered across my bed sheets as I tried and tell myself the nightmare hadn’t been real. But it was real. That night, my mom had announced that we would be moving shortly. Being torn away from my friends, school, and social life at my age felt like a great blow to the stomach. I couldn’t move… not now. I was a junior in highschool, and had so much to do in that great city I called home. And so the nightmare was real, and I felt that my world was about to be torn apart. And so I stared emptily around my quiet room. But it was not quiet, because for the first time in years, I heard a familiar voice from the sky. My own hands are silver under the moon’s light. Almost like he’s taking my hand and guiding me towards the windowsill. For some reason, the things in my room that marked my childhood seemed to stand out to me. The crappy drawing on the wall that my mom had insisted on keeping. My line of model horses on the shelves. The moon hums through my head, and I get out of my bed, leaving the blankets trailing on the floor. I move across my carpet in bare feet, walking nearly silently. The windowsill is open, and through it peers the round face of the moon. I sit at my chair, my body numb but my mind alive. The moon hangs there in the sky, looking down on me. Its beautiful voice fills my thoughts. I am alive inside. On the desk, bathed in moonlight, is an old art kit I got six months ago at Christmas time. It’s open, the scraps of my last painting spread across the page. The most recent time I had used it was four months ago, until I realized that I had no talent when it came to art. Ever since, I had let it sit there, refusing to look at it for fear that I would feel guilty for not using it. But now, I found my hands reaching for it. The moon’s voice reached a climax, echoing through my heart and bringing back a flood of memories of who I used to be. The long car rides, the tearful talks with the moon by my bed side. I fumbled with the watercolors for a moment. I took a brush, and an old cup of water still sitting by my bed. I dipped it in, gathering grey paint on the bristles. Pulling a torn piece of paper from under a nearby book, I began to paint. I started off cautiously at first: the paint brush barely skimming the page and the paint running over the crisp white paper in rivulets. But soon I painted with more vigor, going back for more paint. And more. A circle took place in the center of the paper: a grey sphere much like the one hanging in the sky. I dipped the brush in the white, accenting it. Then added black highlights, a bit of reflecting yellow. The sphere grew larger and larger until it filled the whole page. Still the moon sang on. Images of my childhood, of what I used to believe in, flitted through my mind. I longed to paint it all, so I would never forget. But there is no way to capture feeling, belonging, and the joy of creation with watercolors. So I painted the moon, and I painted it broad and bold. And as I pulled my hands away from my finished masterpiece, my fingers were stained gray. I looked down at them, moving in the moonlight on the desk. The greyness blended against my skin, and I smiled. I was the moon.
That is SO cool!!! I will definitely go check it out!!! You are super talented!!! You should write stories on Quotev or Wattpad or something. Or, if you're above that, you should just publish a book!!! :)
January 11th, I got the biggest surprise of my life, a positive pregnancy test! We were afraid, overflowing with joy, and again VERY surprised. As she grew within me, our little Luna Winter became my world..August 9th, she was diagnosed with Hydrops Fetalis and I contracted Mirror Syndrome. The one being I'd give my life for, who had become my little moon, was ending her time on Earth so soon. August 10th, during an emergency C-section where I almost passed away, my little girl slipped away from us without a sound. Luna, if you're out there, please never leave my side. Please stay my little moon, shine the light back in to me because where you were, I feel only silence and darkness. Empty. I miss you baby girl, your daddy and I love you forever and always.
My birthday is August 9th and my names on a lot of social media is Luna, what a coincidence ☺️ I hope that your ok, that’s a lot to handle and I could never imagine being through that.
It's been 4-years since you posted your comment and I doubt you will ever see my words. I am so sorry for your loss. Your story brought tears and sadness. Without a doubt Sara, little Luna is with you everyday, shining her light inside you. I hope you and your husband are doing well .
Makes you wonder about everything that exists. How stars upon death can release a huge cloud of gas and dust that combine in an array of violets, blues, reds and yellows with light moving endlessly through space is simply amazing. The fact that were alive in this moment listening to this means were the 'lucky ones'
Khulood Alalwi Why lucky? What do you mean? It is absolutelly fucking improbable that existence exists and here we are. If there were a better plac, I assure you, you are so improbable that it is impossible you could exist in said place.
Cosmic Thunder "And as the rain lashed on the roof, the inconceivable truth started rendering pangs in my heart. Pangs that were caused by the notions which had beset me and enlightened me at the same time. This is... me... drifting away against the eddies of winds... the chilly atmosphere... and the grizzled clouds that beckoned on me..." I thank Sleeping at Last for inspiring me to write..
Cosmic Thunder And later you realized that life is pointless. Everything is Pointless. *And commit suicide by jumping off a window from 7th floor* ..... Thats how i imagine it.
Too far to touch, but close enough to see What more could we ask of you? A beacon of light looming in the night Always there keeping us a safe Every story needs a beginning, and a fitting end Yours begins with collision and chaos So much beauty born from destruction A new beginning in the face of madness You're a shadow in the night, a constant friend Holding us together in times of doubt Without a single spoken word you know what to say Please dont ever leave, we need you to stay Hold my gaze and welcome me Into your arms for infinity Just you and me against the elements We'll run so far and never be found A heart so big for a body so small Your love radiates across the seas So lonely, so cold, but beautiful nonetheless Tell us your secrets, show us your magic
"And as the rain lashed on the roof, the inconceivable truth started rendering pangs in my heart. Pangs that were caused by the notions which had beset me and enlightened me at the same time. This is... me... drifting away against the eddies of winds -- the chilly atmosphere... and the grizzled clouds that beckoned on me..." Oh yeah.. Sleeping at Last's melodies never fails to inspire me to write...
0:50 two lovers finally find each other again in a new lifetime - after being separated by space and time, they spot each other in a crowd 1:07 they begin to push through the crowd, moving toward each other, eventually breaking into a run 1:39 they run into each other’s arms, finally together again after a lifetime of searching 🥺🥺
something about this song makes you think about someone you have feelings for but you don't know how to say your feelings to that person. but listening to this song makes their feelings clear than you exactly know what to tell them
I've had a crush on my best friend for months now, but last I knew, he liked someone else. I've been meaning to ask if they'd gotten together, but I haven't been brave enough and wouldn't know what to say. But listening to this song again, and finding your comment, it makes me feel brave
You know what makes me feel infinite? this song does. It makes me cry every time I hear it. It reminds me of my best friend, she's been with me since we were 4. It's so beautiful and soulful.
I believe in you, and I'm one of a billion people. Don't ever let the bad get to you. Sometimes its hard to decide if it's killing you or making you stronger. We're all fighting a battle, and we *must* win, because we can help others grow from it if we begin to grow from it ourselves, so never give up, and never let go.
I love the voices you can hear faintly in the background, which I believe are recordings of the astronauts speaking on the first moon landing. Just adds to the complete overload of FEELS!! Is it possible to emotionally combust?
This is one of those songs that you feel as though you have always heard, in one form or another. This is one of those melodies that crosses bounds and everyone, throughout all of time, has already heard. It speaks to the search for beauty that lies in everyone, and always has, and always will.
I've always loved the moon. It's one of those things that has always been there. And even though everyone has their own concepts of beauty, as nothing is seen the same through any two people's eyes, I like to think everyone sees it the way I do. It cares for us too. It bends the Sun's rays to gives us light even in the dark. While society may turn a blind eye on some of us, the moon knows. It shines it's silver beams on us, telling us that we are never truly forgotten.
For the moon, shines out in the dark. We walk below it, in its light, often forgetting to look up and appreciate it, so lonely, surrounded by darkness, alone, beaming light down at those who need it, but not for himself. Everyone lost, every one loss, their whispers carry off to the moon, where empty wishes reside, where the lonely souls cry, where prayers not yet answered hide. Bearing secrets of its own, hiding faces never shown, keeping secrets all could know. The moon, cratered and fractured, still whole, its curved smile shining down on us, hidden by grey clouds, the opposite of the sun, not bold, not bright, but still, like water running through the sky in graceful notions, quenching thirst of those who long for light, each barren land blessed with single strands of moonlight, where hope is bereft, look up to the sky, where stars collect around the light whoms harmony heals souls that cry.
I know how to hum a tune, where others fail to stay in pitch, but my voice is not a singing voice my mind is a constant buzz in which I constantly follow songs, pitch to pitch to sing out loud is all I have ever wanted I burst into tears in the throes of passion and desire Listening as voices set my heart on fire My bitter voice cries in utter agony For I know destiny hasn't chosen me If I had one wish for anything in the world One chance to eliminate all of my fears I would climb my way atop the highest mountain And sing, and sing, and sing, through the tears I don't want fame or money or knowledge I just want to be able to express my pain In the most beautiful melody, right from the heart Like the elixir of life taking you back to the start. I am the outcast, the lonely lost soul I wake up every morning, left in the cold But I have begun to discover and understand Music surpasses everything when there is a story to be told One simple note from the sweetest harp Or a simple piano melody, ever so sharp Can excel far beyond the capacity of words To tell the sweetest story you've ever heard So as I lie here, lonely and rejected I can listen to this masterpiece, my hope resurrected And paint a masterpiece so vast and majestic That no amount of beautiful words could best it.
Fell asleep while listening to this. Dreamt I was dancing under a sky filled with stars and a full moon. Woke up to my own giggle and smile. Never felt better than I do now. 💕
Does anyone else feel that stars are tiny little orbs in an endless concave of darkness. It's like every Star is a Sun and every Sun is a Star just waiting to happen. Imploding with cataclysmic forces to do so. Lighting up the world, even at the worst and darkest of times. To me every birth of a Star is our dreams. To me they are also a lone call for hope, help, love and prosperity. A look through time and age. Past, present and future. When one dies, another piece of hope is reborn among the stars. Igniting the small fragment of our inner beings, our souls, reaching all the way down to the unbroken pieces, telling us their still there, awaiting there moment to spark. Some say the void is our moment to die. You know when we "Enter the Void" Others say that in that small insignificant moment, such as a pebble breaking the surface of a endless ocean. That it could change time, for good, for bad. Even for the restoration and faith in a losing humanity. We can never know.
That is really beautiful. I often think how privileged and lucky I am to see these tiny, infinite dots twinkling through vast distances from such a dark and lonely place and how one day we won't be able to see them anymore when the space expands. I think it is beautiful to even exist in the universe, we are an exception in a world that never should've been.
+Ne o Thank you so much! I can't believe that you actually found me on the YWS website. I'm glad to see that people are enjoying my writing. You can also find me on Wattpad and Figment as well as the YWS if you wanted to read anymore.
@Nirja Bhatt It does seem sad doesn't it, that one day everything we cherish and take for granted will one dayday be gone. But, I guess that is why we should take a moment to admire what we have in this world- and hold on to that.
this makes you think of all the good times with a person you love who doesn't love you any more. it makes you remember what happened when you were both in love. running around and being careless. it makes you miss them but ne content with what you had.
176 dislikes... how though? This song is beautiful and better than songs I’ve heard kids listening to these days. Honestly, words can’t even describe how amazing this song really is...
yaser akkash I hope that these horrible times will end one day and you can return to your Homeland. There is no place on Earth like Home! All the best!
Do you ever just stop and think about yourself? Your accomplishments? Your goals? What you've done so far maybe? Spend time with the people you care about. Live life in the fullest. You never know when it ends.
God I miss her so much...but I know that letting go was the best thing I could do. His music helps me remember the absolutely amazing moments we shared but it also helps me remember why i had to move on from something that was beginning to become toxic. I loved her and everything that she stood for and she loved me just as much but neither of us were happy at a point in time. This is totally random but its making me feel better so fuck it yolo.Sleeping at last was a big part of our relationship and the songs never fail at making me miss her but they also help me remember that this is for the best.
well i just went through the exact same feeling and i can completely understand how u have been feeling but one thing now i have learnt is that if u have learn to love someone you must even learn to let go and sleeping at last gives us a different zeal to do so :) :)
It's amazing how a piece of music without words can... can bring you something. This ,,something" isn't the same for all people, so... It's amazing. I haven't got any words to desribe this...
All of their music is perfect for any mood. I could listen to this at any point in my day, feeling any emotion possible, and it seems to make that emotion stronger.
I just discovered Sleeping At Last and this was the first song I heard by them... by the end of the song I was in tears. SAL has made me appreciate music more than ever before, so I hope that this gem of an artist will become widely known someday!
every time I hear a song by Sleeping at Last, I think of how I want it played at my wedding or funeral....and to think I found them through the Twilight Saga years ago
The boy on the moon never felt lonely, not once. Not with all the children that stared up at him with large, hope filled saucer eyes. Not with all the wishes that laid elegantly across his ears in lullaby whispers. Simply put: it was magic. Their hopes - the thing with feathers. He always felt that poem didn't get it right. It wasn't a bird. It wasn't locked in some cage, it couldn't soar below the clouds. It couldn't easily be shot down. No, hope was never a bird, it was so much more. It was star dust. It invaded the air, it floated above the clouds. It pumped through tiny veins and kept hearts beating. It kept him from being lonely. Because it was star dust that stared up at him each night. It was hope. It was children who believed him to be following their car. It was adults who needed a friend. It was dogs and wolves and free spirits that needed to know someone else was out there. It was life. In all the dark hatred that shrouded the earth he looked down on, he could always see a shimmer of star dust. So no, the boy on the moon never felt lonely. For he was never alone. Not with so much light looking back at him. So much hope. So much life...and love.
Every bodies post is so valid. I feel what you guys feel when listening to this song. I cry of immense gratitude. It's all these beautiful emotions at one. I feel that the universe is smiling at me. I feel that this is how magic happens.
This is the type of music society needs at this time. We need music that unites us and fills us with hope as we aspire towards new beginnings, rather than breed further hate into our hearts.
Does anyone else just get extremely nostalgic over random memories from their childhood when they listen to this and like just feel really sad? Or just suddenly realise that everyone is going through so many problems all around us and we just need to be kind to people
@anyone who wonders so much why this single man band can make you question so much about life and how lucky we are to be living - this man, though not overly eager to use "Christian buzz words" like mercy and grace is in fact Christian. He instead uses words like forgiveness, humility and hope and weaves those messages into deep spiritual messages that really make you wonder. This band became a quick favorite, and the meanings behind the song are so personal to him yet so relatable to us, because he knows what we all tend to think and wonder about life and has the common sense to write about it and the musical talent to play to about it.
That's beautiful. The songs really speak to me at a... Spiritual? Level. It is amazing, I'm so thankful God led me to this. The songs are chilling and at the same time, assuring. A call to come home, really. I appreciate that so much.
It’s nice to know that I’m not alone when I think about the outside world and wow you are all so nice ❤️ DONT forget to look at the sky and the clouds and the trees! They are still standing with us 🌏
2892seater you have no idea how many times I've done that. I'm actually creating a playlist of my favorite sleeping at last songs right now. This one definitely made the list!
I was writing the conclusion to my English paper about my preferred career (Veterinary medicine) and in the conclusion I was writing why it was the only profession I could ever see myself working in even though it is no short or easy path to become a veterinarian and a part of me is worried about it. This song just suddenly came on and added so much emotion to the moment and gave me a little faith that everything will work out...
years pass without thought. nothing has meaning anymore. I don't care anymore. please save me from this meaningless life. be the drop of light that brings me joy. Help me breathe. Help me live. Please i feel loss. Please i feel dead. I need something. Save me. please. Save me from myself.
I love the comment sections of Sleeping At Last's videos. It's so peaceful and full of people just appreciating life and getting inspired. I wanna meet you all irl hmu
The recording of the Apollo launch in the background of this song...Really adds something special, honestly. Were I one of the Astronauts who will be returning to the moon in 202X, I'd ask for this to play as we approached. The mood is too perfect.
I don't comment on anything, but I couldn't help expressing how much I love listening to this song. I still can't believe that such a beautiful thing was created, I can't express in words how beautiful every part I hear from this song is. Music is something quite extraordinary. Sorry for the bad english, google translator always helping.
This makes me creative in ways that I can feel and understand whatever pain I have deep inside me that somehow I have been ignoring for a long time as well. So beautiful.
it's so good to remember as it is to be alive, how good it is to be part of this immense universe we are all connected and sharing energies, this is so magical and special... Good night and be fine beings of light.
I'm listening to this at night while there's an eclipse.. the feeling you get when you stare at the moon while listening to this is just beyond words..
I don't have a love to think about with this song, but it makes me wonder about my future... what it will be there for me... this just inspire me to do my goals real...
Moon, Saturn and Uranus, they sound just like prayers. Like odes for universe and just for the life itself. This is the way I am in touch with God, you know? :-)
You sent me this song :) and i always thought it was a goodbye so i never finished hearing it. Cuz i didnt wanna lose you. But you left, and i had to accept. I listen it to it today till the end. And it takes me back to 4 years with you we had so much memories that feels just like a day to remember. Thankyou for the song, and thankyou for leaving me.
I can’t sleep. I want to rest but I cannot even silence my mind. After a long time of being brave, of trying to shake off this feeling of sadness, now it’s here again, like a childhood friend. Though somehow, it’s familiarity’s is quite comforting. Sleeping at Last never fails to keep me hoping, that maybe some other day I’ll be fine again, that maybe some other time I’ll finally be found, not by anyone but be found by myself. Everything hurts right now but with Ryan’s voice, I am hopefully hurting. That this pain will one day make some kind of profound sense.
The universe is life's natural facsination. It's beautiful, and it created us. One thing that catches our attention beyond the atmosphere is the moon. Life is rare, and somehow you got the chance to experience it for yourself. No time to waste, time itself is still moving, and like a story, there is an ending.
I just put a hand over my mouth, and tears just started to fall at the first sound. Like Oh.My.God. This is beautiful! I just love the moon so much, and it just had such a fitting song to go along with it. It's tragic yet such a beautiful piece.
You know what I realized? All of the comments on Sleeping at Last songs are supportive, genuine, and kind. There are no swear words, hateful remarks, or harsh feelings. Everyone is at peace and wants to be gentle. I feel that this is strongly because of the type of music Sleeping at Last is. Heartfelt, calm, and sincere.
let us hope the kindness spreads. because if the world was as kind as this music, then life would be that much more beautiful

You'd like the lofi com ment section too. Full of kind, poetic people. These are the good corners of the internet.
Kindness breeds kindness
I love how there is no hate in this fandom.
Squeezing Mila I love how everyone here is just appreciating life and getting poetic it's so beautiful
Squeezing Mila I don't think it's possible
Squeezing Mila I was just listening to the soundtrack and thinking the same thing.
gowri kolal same
Yeah, but some how there is always a dislike to these songs when the people themselves chosen to watch the video! :/
I’ve met the moon.
He is kind, and he is gentle. He smiles softly and laughs so quietly that you can barely hear his joy. But if you listen closely, he is always speaking.
The first time he spoke to me was in kindergarten. When I was younger, my mom had always called him “Mr. Moon.” I think she got it from baby’s book when I was younger.

That was so long ago. And I am ashamed to say that I forgot about Mr. Moon. I grew up, as children tend to do. My body changed, and with it my mind. I forgot about lonely nights and weeping stars, distant lands and the people I once believed lived inside my TV set.
I became engrossed with worldly things. Boys, makeup, cars, life. Growing up, as much as I promised myself it wouldn’t happen, came. I was 17 now. I didn’t have time to slow down and talk to my old friend, Mr. Moon.
And so it was a special night in which I suddenly sat bolt upright in my bed, just as the clock struck 1:13am.

And so the nightmare was real, and I felt that my world was about to be torn apart.
And so I stared emptily around my quiet room. But it was not quiet, because for the first time in years, I heard a familiar voice from the sky.
My own hands are silver under the moon’s light. Almost like he’s taking my hand and guiding me towards the windowsill. For some reason, the things in my room that marked my childhood seemed to stand out to me. The crappy drawing on the wall that my mom had insisted on keeping. My line of model horses on the shelves.
The moon hums through my head, and I get out of my bed, leaving the blankets trailing on the floor. I move across my carpet in bare feet, walking nearly silently. The windowsill is open, and through it peers the round face of the moon.
I sit at my chair, my body numb but my mind alive. The moon hangs there in the sky, looking down on me. Its beautiful voice fills my thoughts. I am alive inside.
On the desk, bathed in moonlight, is an old art kit I got six months ago at Christmas time. It’s open, the scraps of my last painting spread across the page.

But soon I painted with more vigor, going back for more paint. And more. A circle took place in the center of the paper: a grey sphere much like the one hanging in the sky.

Tired Eyes I-/ this is really beautiful. Reading those words while listening to the song made me emotional
OH MY GOODNESS I just read this while listening to the song, and this is absolutely amazing!!! Are you a writer??? Just asking because I am one. :)
Sarah Lorr I am! I love to write :) I also wrote a story on Sleeping At Last's Saturn lyric video (the one with the painted background)
That is SO cool!!! I will definitely go check it out!!! You are super talented!!! You should write stories on Quotev or Wattpad or something. Or, if you're above that, you should just publish a book!!! :)

I know it's been over a year since you commented this, but I am sending so much love to you and your family. Praying that you have a success soon. ❤️
It's been 4-years since you posted your comment and I doubt you will ever see my words.
I am so sorry for your loss. Your story brought tears and sadness.
Without a doubt Sara, little Luna is with you everyday, shining her light inside you.
I hope you and your husband are doing well
.
its going to be alright.
i'm crying
+suf abdullah I'm at tears.
it's okay peeps, everyone is. T-T
I can't be so sure as u
no it's not
It's amazing how a piece of music with no words can bring so much emotion
Bridie Carroll ikr
Makes you wonder about everything that exists. How stars upon death can release a huge cloud of gas and dust that combine in an array of violets, blues, reds and yellows with light moving endlessly through space is simply amazing. The fact that were alive in this moment listening to this means were the 'lucky ones'
+99francesco This universe is amazing isn't it?
why lucky . maybe there is another place that is better than this
Khulood Alalwi Why lucky? What do you mean? It is absolutelly fucking improbable that existence exists and here we are. If there were a better plac, I assure you, you are so improbable that it is impossible you could exist in said place.
Why everything around me looks 3294823 times beautiful when i'm listening to your songs?
You just take life to another level.
This is one of those songs where you just stare out the window and just "What is life... What is anything..."
Cosmic Thunder "And as the rain lashed on the roof, the inconceivable truth started rendering pangs in my heart. Pangs that were caused by the notions which had beset me and enlightened me at the same time.
This is... me... drifting away against the eddies of winds... the chilly atmosphere... and the grizzled clouds that beckoned on me..."
I thank Sleeping at Last for inspiring me to write..
That's so true. I believe that the people that are listening to this are just as peaceful as the universe.
Cosmic Thunder And later you realized that life is pointless. Everything is Pointless. *And commit suicide by jumping off a window from 7th floor* ..... Thats how i imagine it.
パオ Rivera HAHHAHAHAHHAH made my day😂
Read Plato's 5 Dialogues... infinitely enlightening. Listen to hearts by sleeping at last as you do
Too far to touch, but close enough to see
What more could we ask of you?
A beacon of light looming in the night
Always there keeping us a safe
Every story needs a beginning, and a fitting end
Yours begins with collision and chaos
So much beauty born from destruction
A new beginning in the face of madness
You're a shadow in the night, a constant friend
Holding us together in times of doubt
Without a single spoken word you know what to say
Please dont ever leave, we need you to stay
Hold my gaze and welcome me
Into your arms for infinity
Just you and me against the elements
We'll run so far and never be found
A heart so big for a body so small
Your love radiates across the seas
So lonely, so cold, but beautiful nonetheless
Tell us your secrets, show us your magic
BEAUTIFUL!!!!
brilliant
Thank you!
If you wrote that, it's absolutely incredible.
@@deadastrophysicist1201 I did indeed, it's just what I feel when I listen to this 💛
this song.. it just makes you feel something, you know?
Hell yeah
yeah it does..it makes me fell like im in a movie or something.
at peace ♡
allie something different
Yeah!!l love it
"And as the rain lashed on the roof, the inconceivable truth started rendering pangs in my heart. Pangs that were caused by the notions which had beset me and enlightened me at the same time.
This is... me... drifting away against the eddies of winds -- the chilly atmosphere... and the grizzled clouds that beckoned on me..."
Oh yeah.. Sleeping at Last's melodies never fails to inspire me to write...
TheLumpyHeavy Please keep writing! You have an amazing style :)
KaylaTheRaccoon I'm pleasured to tickle the strings of your heart. :) Thanks.
TheLumpyHeavy ur making me cry
+Shellie Farmer It's not that serious. :')
+TheLumpyHeavy
0:50 two lovers finally find each other again in a new lifetime - after being separated by space and time, they spot each other in a crowd
1:07 they begin to push through the crowd, moving toward each other, eventually breaking into a run
1:39 they run into each other’s arms, finally together again after a lifetime of searching 🥺🥺
This is the song I've been waiting for my whole life.
something about this song makes you think about someone you have feelings for but you don't know how to say your feelings to that person. but listening to this song makes their feelings clear than you exactly know what to tell them
exactly my friend
this is the best comment in here
I've had a crush on my best friend for months now, but last I knew, he liked someone else. I've been meaning to ask if they'd gotten together, but I haven't been brave enough and wouldn't know what to say. But listening to this song again, and finding your comment, it makes me feel brave
You know what makes me feel infinite? this song does. It makes me cry every time I hear it. It reminds me of my best friend, she's been with me since we were 4. It's so beautiful and soulful.
I believe in you, and I'm one of a billion people. Don't ever let the bad get to you. Sometimes its hard to decide if it's killing you or making you stronger. We're all fighting a battle, and we *must* win, because we can help others grow from it if we begin to grow from it ourselves, so never give up, and never let go.
Devon Rose thank you...
I love the voices you can hear faintly in the background, which I believe are recordings of the astronauts speaking on the first moon landing. Just adds to the complete overload of FEELS!! Is it possible to emotionally combust?
can you please tell me where you hear the voices at? :)
+Gigii around 50 seconds in I heard some :)
+Gigii Try 1:34
Oh my god ahhhh they are so awesome
You pointed it out and I finally noticed it! That is so cool and creative! I love it!
GOSH DANGIT. every. single. Time. His music Always finds a way to get itself wedged in my heart. IM FEELING SO MANY FEELS. HOW DOES HE DO THIS?!?!
This is one of those songs that you feel as though you have always heard, in one form or another. This is one of those melodies that crosses bounds and everyone, throughout all of time, has already heard. It speaks to the search for beauty that lies in everyone, and always has, and always will.
This song makes me think of things that have a -2 percent chance of actually happening
I've always loved the moon. It's one of those things that has always been there. And even though everyone has their own concepts of beauty, as nothing is seen the same through any two people's eyes, I like to think everyone sees it the way I do. It cares for us too. It bends the Sun's rays to gives us light even in the dark. While society may turn a blind eye on some of us, the moon knows. It shines it's silver beams on us, telling us that we are never truly forgotten.
I gonna just say that I cry when I hear this incredible song. I have absolutely no shame in it either. Makes my heart feel warm . What about you?
For the moon, shines out in the dark. We walk below it, in its light, often forgetting to look up and appreciate it, so lonely, surrounded by darkness, alone, beaming light down at those who need it, but not for himself. Everyone lost, every one loss, their whispers carry off to the moon, where empty wishes reside, where the lonely souls cry, where prayers not yet answered hide. Bearing secrets of its own, hiding faces never shown, keeping secrets all could know. The moon, cratered and fractured, still whole, its curved smile shining down on us, hidden by grey clouds, the opposite of the sun, not bold, not bright, but still, like water running through the sky in graceful notions, quenching thirst of those who long for light, each barren land blessed with single strands of moonlight, where hope is bereft, look up to the sky, where stars collect around the light whoms harmony heals souls that cry.
I know how to hum a tune, where others fail to stay in pitch, but my voice is not a singing voice
my mind is a constant buzz in which
I constantly follow songs, pitch to pitch
to sing out loud is all I have ever wanted
I burst into tears in the throes of passion and desire
Listening as voices set my heart on fire
My bitter voice cries in utter agony
For I know destiny hasn't chosen me
If I had one wish for anything in the world
One chance to eliminate all of my fears
I would climb my way atop the highest mountain
And sing, and sing, and sing, through the tears
I don't want fame or money or knowledge
I just want to be able to express my pain
In the most beautiful melody, right from the heart
Like the elixir of life taking you back to the start.
I am the outcast, the lonely lost soul
I wake up every morning, left in the cold
But I have begun to discover and understand
Music surpasses everything when there is a story to be told
One simple note from the sweetest harp
Or a simple piano melody, ever so sharp
Can excel far beyond the capacity of words
To tell the sweetest story you've ever heard
So as I lie here, lonely and rejected
I can listen to this masterpiece, my hope resurrected
And paint a masterpiece so vast and majestic
That no amount of beautiful words could best it.
this is my favourite comment ever. i wish you so much love my friend, i hope you're doing well.
Fell asleep while listening to this. Dreamt I was dancing under a sky filled with stars and a full moon. Woke up to my own giggle and smile. Never felt better than I do now. 💕
Does anyone else feel that stars are tiny little orbs in an endless concave of darkness. It's like every Star is a Sun and every Sun is a Star just waiting to happen. Imploding with cataclysmic forces to do so. Lighting up the world, even at the worst and darkest of times. To me every birth of a Star is our dreams. To me they are also a lone call for hope, help, love and prosperity. A look through time and age. Past, present and future. When one dies, another piece of hope is reborn among the stars. Igniting the small fragment of our inner beings, our souls, reaching all the way down to the unbroken pieces, telling us their still there, awaiting there moment to spark.
Some say the void is our moment to die. You know when we "Enter the Void" Others say that in that small insignificant moment, such as a pebble breaking the surface of a endless ocean. That it could change time, for good, for bad. Even for the restoration and faith in a losing humanity. We can never know.
That is really beautiful. I often think how privileged and lucky I am to see these tiny, infinite dots twinkling through vast distances from such a dark and lonely place and how one day we won't be able to see them anymore when the space expands. I think it is beautiful to even exist in the universe, we are an exception in a world that never should've been.

^Full post.
Good job, you're a great writer.
+Ne o
Thank you so much! I can't believe that you actually found me on the YWS website. I'm glad to see that people are enjoying my writing. You can also find me on Wattpad and Figment as well as the YWS if you wanted to read anymore.
@Nirja Bhatt
It does seem sad doesn't it, that one day everything we cherish and take for granted will one dayday be gone. But, I guess that is why we should take a moment to admire what we have in this world- and hold on to that.
No problem. Great writers deserve to be recognized.
this makes you think of all the good times with a person you love who doesn't love you any more. it makes you remember what happened when you were both in love. running around and being careless. it makes you miss them but ne content with what you had.
Grace Johnson yes, I even got this song from her so I always think of what we had when listening this
176 dislikes... how though? This song is beautiful and better than songs I’ve heard kids listening to these days. Honestly, words can’t even describe how amazing this song really is...
This makes me cry almost every time. Awesome music to journal to and do some soul searching.
this music + basically any book = perfection
This song made me feel something I hadn't felt in a long time. Just positive feels throughout this song. Love sleeping at last
This song sounds like the feeling of letting go and having peace in your heart.
looking up at the moon, wondering whether he could see u...
he smiled...even though he couldn't see her, he knows she's watching him...
When i read this the first thing i thought of was Sokka and his first girlfriend turning into the moon tbh
I totally can see in this Endymion and Serenity.....
This would be the song I would love to walk down the aisle to...so pretty and romantic
Ikr
Can I marry you?
*please say yes* *please say yes*
^^" I'm engaged
Krista Coxie NOOO pls kristaa
Thank you so mush, this song takes me back to my homeland "Syria" 😊
yaser akkash I hope that these horrible times will end one day and you can return to your Homeland. There is no place on Earth like Home! All the best!
اهلا و ساهلا
I feel like this is someone's life from birth to death. I don't know why, but the song just sounds like it.
Do you ever just stop and think about yourself? Your accomplishments? Your goals? What you've done so far maybe?
Spend time with the people you care about. Live life in the fullest.
You never know when it ends.
God I miss her so much...but I know that letting go was the best thing I could do. His music helps me remember the absolutely amazing moments we shared but it also helps me remember why i had to move on from something that was beginning to become toxic. I loved her and everything that she stood for and she loved me just as much but neither of us were happy at a point in time. This is totally random but its making me feel better so fuck it yolo.Sleeping at last was a big part of our relationship and the songs never fail at making me miss her but they also help me remember that this is for the best.
well i just went through the exact same feeling and i can completely understand how u have been feeling but one thing now i have learnt is that if u have learn to love someone you must even learn to let go and sleeping at last gives us a different zeal to do so :) :)
It's the glory of God to hide a thing, it's the glory of kings to search it out.
It's amazing how a piece of music without words can... can bring you something. This ,,something" isn't the same for all people, so... It's amazing. I haven't got any words to desribe this...
This song makes me cry. It brings to mind the essence of my precious Peanut, gone 2 years now. So beautiful, just like she was.
All of their music is perfect for any mood. I could listen to this at any point in my day, feeling any emotion possible, and it seems to make that emotion stronger.
I just discovered Sleeping At Last and this was the first song I heard by them... by the end of the song I was in tears. SAL has made me appreciate music more than ever before, so I hope that this gem of an artist will become widely known someday!
i’m watching the lunar eclipse alone in my car and i somehow feel so comforted and safe in the presence of this song.
I love all of Sleeping at last's songs they all mean soooo much to me
every time I hear a song by Sleeping at Last, I think of how I want it played at my wedding or funeral....and to think I found them through the Twilight Saga years ago
This song is so calming.. it gives me a sense of peace and assureness.
Moon is by far my favorite. 🌛
The boy on the moon never felt lonely, not once. Not with all the children that stared up at him with large, hope filled saucer eyes. Not with all the wishes that laid elegantly across his ears in lullaby whispers. Simply put: it was magic. Their hopes - the thing with feathers. He always felt that poem didn't get it right. It wasn't a bird. It wasn't locked in some cage, it couldn't soar below the clouds. It couldn't easily be shot down. No, hope was never a bird, it was so much more. It was star dust. It invaded the air, it floated above the clouds. It pumped through tiny veins and kept hearts beating. It kept him from being lonely. Because it was star dust that stared up at him each night. It was hope. It was children who believed him to be following their car. It was adults who needed a friend. It was dogs and wolves and free spirits that needed to know someone else was out there. It was life. In all the dark hatred that shrouded the earth he looked down on, he could always see a shimmer of star dust. So no, the boy on the moon never felt lonely. For he was never alone. Not with so much light looking back at him. So much hope. So much life...and love.
Every bodies post is so valid. I feel what you guys feel when listening to this song. I cry of immense gratitude. It's all these beautiful emotions at one. I feel that the universe is smiling at me. I feel that this is how magic happens.
this song makes you fall in love... I just felt the love that I have for my boyfriend. So many feels...
tell me the story of how the moon loved the sun so much he died every night to let him breathe
It was the sun that loved the moon so much he died every night to let her breathe.
this is a great duo of comments bless
@@shelbyjackson1849 I always thought the sun was female and the moon was male.
''he died to let him breathe''
he, him
That's gay
Love it
@@bluebell8557 In Spanish the moon is female and the Sun is male haha
I don't know why but the beginning piano part ALWAYS reminds me of the piano in Finding Nemo
same
i came just for read a comment like this, it's exactly what i thought
A mixture of Finding Nemo and Beauty & the Beast 💙
+Amber Collins true
this song is so beautiful and soft and hopeful. i love it.
It's perfect to watch the sunset and to think about the bad moments we lived but that now are gone
This is the type of music society needs at this time. We need music that unites us and fills us with hope as we aspire towards new beginnings, rather than breed further hate into our hearts.
Does anyone else just get extremely nostalgic over random memories from their childhood when they listen to this and like just feel really sad? Or just suddenly realise that everyone is going through so many problems all around us and we just need to be kind to people
Never fails to take my breath away...
@anyone who wonders so much why this single man band can make you question so much about life and how lucky we are to be living - this man, though not overly eager to use "Christian buzz words" like mercy and grace is in fact Christian. He instead uses words like forgiveness, humility and hope and weaves those messages into deep spiritual messages that really make you wonder. This band became a quick favorite, and the meanings behind the song are so personal to him yet so relatable to us, because he knows what we all tend to think and wonder about life and has the common sense to write about it and the musical talent to play to about it.
That's beautiful. The songs really speak to me at a... Spiritual? Level. It is amazing, I'm so thankful God led me to this. The songs are chilling and at the same time, assuring. A call to come home, really. I appreciate that so much.
Ian Fullford Science doesn't threaten me with burning in a lake of fire for eternity...

Not trying to get into it, just making an observation about the song.
WHY HAVE I NOT HEARD OF THESE SONGS UNTIL NOW!
*random flailing of arms*
The planets series is just beautiful.
Sleeping at Last es lo mejor que he escuchado en mi vida
this song makes me 20 kinds of emotional
It’s nice to know that I’m not alone when I think about the outside world and wow you are all so nice ❤️ DONT forget to look at the sky and the clouds and the trees! They are still standing with us 🌏
earth and moon are my favorite songs out of all of these.
I love them both! You might also like arctic and Saturn as well if you like these. They are also two of my favorites. :)
Ive heard arctic its good!
Bookie Gamer Definitely another favorite of mine.
Yup =)
i like moon and saturn
Best song of the whole EP, in my opinion. Or Pluto.
Really feels fitting for those cold nights when you're staring out the window up at the moon in the clear night sky.
This is one of my most favourite SAL songs, its just so peaceful and i get lost in it every time.
To play in a loop, double right click on the video and you'll find the option. Because this song is...love.
+2892seater I'm gonna need that so much
2892seater you have no idea how many times I've done that. I'm actually creating a playlist of my favorite sleeping at last songs right now. This one definitely made the list!
I was writing the conclusion to my English paper about my preferred career (Veterinary medicine) and in the conclusion I was writing why it was the only profession I could ever see myself working in even though it is no short or easy path to become a veterinarian and a part of me is worried about it. This song just suddenly came on and added so much emotion to the moment and gave me a little faith that everything will work out...
amazing! how have i not come across Sleeping At Last before?
I was just thinking the same! How!?
years pass without thought. nothing has meaning anymore. I don't care anymore. please save me from this meaningless life. be the drop of light that brings me joy. Help me breathe. Help me live. Please i feel loss. Please i feel dead. I need something. Save me. please. Save me from myself.
Trust in Jesus Christ
idk what it is about this song, but everything I listen to it it just makes me think...
And the moon was quietly listening to her heartbeat , everything made sense in that moment , inconscious she was the moon and the moon was her.
Endocardic pain relieve from hearing this song, so many solutions in this Play.
This song has changed my life...
I love the comment sections of Sleeping At Last's videos. It's so peaceful and full of people just appreciating life and getting inspired. I wanna meet you all irl hmu
this is what we need omg i'm so in love with their music! xx
This is so peaceful.
The recording of the Apollo launch in the background of this song...Really adds something special, honestly.
Were I one of the Astronauts who will be returning to the moon in 202X, I'd ask for this to play as we approached. The mood is too perfect.
I discovered more talented wattpad writers on sleeping at last song videos than anywhere else. Bless.
I don't comment on anything, but I couldn't help expressing how much I love listening to this song.
I still can't believe that such a beautiful thing was created, I can't express in words how beautiful every part I hear from this song is. Music is something quite extraordinary. Sorry for the bad english, google translator always helping.
This makes me creative in ways that I can feel and understand whatever pain I have deep inside me that somehow I have been ignoring for a long time as well. So beautiful.
it's so good to remember as it is to be alive, how good it is to be part of this immense universe
we are all connected and sharing energies, this is so magical and special...
Good night and be fine beings of light.
everything aligns when i listen to this. silence...and it's golden. magical. tears of joy flow... in gratitude....
never heard a more beautiful song in my life.
I'm listening to this at night while there's an eclipse.. the feeling you get when you stare at the moon while listening to this is just beyond words..
I've just found this band and I've listen to a couple of there songs and I'm in love
"The moon knows,"
"What are you talking about?"
"The moon knows that we're in love."
proof that how could there not be a God who made all of this universe around us
Agreed how he carefully pieced everything together like a puzzle.
I don't have a love to think about with this song, but it makes me wonder about my future... what it will be there for me... this just inspire me to do my goals real...
Moon, Saturn and Uranus, they sound just like prayers. Like odes for universe and just for the life itself. This is the way I am in touch with God, you know? :-)
This song calms my spirit
You sent me this song :) and i always thought it was a goodbye so i never finished hearing it. Cuz i didnt wanna lose you. But you left, and i had to accept. I listen it to it today till the end. And it takes me back to 4 years with you we had so much memories that feels just like a day to remember. Thankyou for the song, and thankyou for leaving me.
I'd love to hear songs with names of all the Jupiter's 67 moons made by this magnificent band.
I can’t sleep. I want to rest but I cannot even silence my mind. After a long time of being brave, of trying to shake off this feeling of sadness, now it’s here again, like a childhood friend. Though somehow, it’s familiarity’s is quite comforting. Sleeping at Last never fails to keep me hoping, that maybe some other day I’ll be fine again, that maybe some other time I’ll finally be found, not by anyone but be found by myself. Everything hurts right now but with Ryan’s voice, I am hopefully hurting. That this pain will one day make some kind of profound sense.
If a peaceful soul had a song, this is the tune it'd have.
The universe is life's natural facsination. It's beautiful, and it created us. One thing that catches our attention beyond the atmosphere is the moon. Life is rare, and somehow you got the chance to experience it for yourself. No time to waste, time itself is still moving, and like a story, there is an ending.
Essa música... é só sentir! Sem explicação a paz e alegria que traz.
I just put a hand over my mouth, and tears just started to fall at the first sound. Like Oh.My.God. This is beautiful! I just love the moon so much, and it just had such a fitting song to go along with it. It's tragic yet such a beautiful piece.
