Haven't heard this since I was a young kid... forgot all about it and randomly this got stuck in my head. I remembered it perfectly, I absolutely love this.
I will never tire of listening to and seeing Aquaharp. I believe this is truly one of the world’s musical treasures as are all of the pieces those two men created years ago when there was even less computer graphics capabilities than today!
"In a hidden water filled room long forgotten by the world, a mysterious harp plays, its only source of power coming from the water it stands in. At the dusty crossroads of music and academia, it's rumoured that this harp harbours the soul of a long deceased musician who found immortality through their music."
The harmony in this one is unmatched very pretty background with water and the little fish pecs where very good touch!. This one aways used to put me to sleep when I was little.
I’ve known “Aqua Harp” twenty years already. But I never fully realized how beautiful it is to me until tonight. I shared it to a very many contacts and I’m looping it like an OCD patient !!!
I wouldn't be surprised at all to see this in an elven palace in a D&D game. it's the only Animusic piece without mechanical elements and that makes it seem so magical
My elementary school music teacher played these sometimes (she was very strict so these videos were rare treats) and this one was always my favorite. One of my friends actually fell asleep while it was playing once (I think we were in third grade at the time)!
I have such nostalgia for Animusic. I remember I would watch both 1 and 2 all the time as a kid and this one was always my favorite. It's just such a calming song and the visuals and atmosphere are so captivating.
I started to listen when the eight or nine head guitar first play, if it was on tape I’d would have wore it out. The men and women who worked on this are a credit to their job. Today I still love the sounds, and light with the vibrations of the music. Thanks
00:20 When it’s dark and the stars can’t be seen, I’ll be there for you - your bridge between. I won’t let go of your hand, no way, You are my light, my brightest ray. I’ll always be with you, In joy, in silence, through the storm too. The world may be vast and wide, But your heart is safe inside mine. The cold winds blow, the rain may pound, I’ll protect you, your gaze profound. Don’t lose faith in what we’ve become, We’ll be together, no matter how far we run. I’ll always be with you, In joy, in silence, through the storm too. The world may be vast and wide, But your heart is safe inside mine. Let there be challenges on our way, We’ll face them together - just call, I’ll stay. You are my hero, my soul, my song, With you, even silence feels strong. I’ll always be with you, In joy, in silence, through the storm too. The world may be vast and wide, But your heart is safe inside mine. We’re building a world that’s warm and true, Where fear can’t live, where it’s me and you. Every moment, every brand-new day, Is a love where shadows fade away. I’ll always be with you, In joy, in silence, through the storm too. The world may be vast and wide, But your heart is safe inside mine.
animusic was a big part of my childhood. im 20 (now 21. i still come back to this lmao) and stumbled across these remasters through my recommendations. hell, i sleep with aqua harp in the background sometimes. you definitely earned a sub from me for remastering these edit: i know no one has said anything about this, but i just want to make sure no one thinks i meant it like this: "You definitely earned a sub from me" as in im so important lmao (and now 22. ok im done😂)
yooo its the same for me... my dad showed animusic dvd's on our old home theater when i was younger. this is a masterpiece for sure, it gave me goosebumps.
I am so impressed. Could sit for hours and listen, dancing sometimes, other times making my own words fit, or making up my own words too. Thank you for a wonderful day❤
Being Autistic with Cerebral Palsy; I finally figured out why this makes me so sad. When I was a child and I watched this for the first time I had a dream/vision of the Aqua Harp, but then the song was concluding and it was at that moment I finally comprehended something I long did not understand: complex grief. Just like when I now listen to "Journey" by Michael Salvatori; I always cut the song off right before the part when the song concludes because the song ending is what I will never be able to bear the heaviest burden of...💘
This is such a great song. I know that this is mainly showing off computer animations back then. Coming back to it these string instrument ones are definitely my favorite. Specifically Aqua Harp, Pogo sticks, and Resonant Chamber. But all time favorite is Pipe Dream.
I’ll always remember laying back on the hard carpet floors of my elementary school music class, room dark, listening to this and almost falling asleep.
An interesting part of this is that the harp strings are vibrating in a way that suggests a dominant 3rd harmonic contributes strongly to their tone. Not being a harpist, I can't speak to whether that is true or not for the real-life instrument. But it certainly seems it could be possible.
I remember watching these s a kid in music class. I always think bout them now again and ws always captivated me. The visus, the sounds. Just everything was so fun.
i wanna know how they rig the strings for animation because i can tell its not physics based but is instead based on curves ... i wanna see about making this in blender lol
@@W4t3rf1r3 yes but the rigs that drive the animations need to be setup properly it does not just do what you want you have to tell the rig which thing does what and add key frames between notes so it appears fluid i wanna know how they rigged the strings specifically
I believe something to do with having some sine multiplied onto each segment in the string, like having a static string being multiple 0, and a fully sine at multiple 1, and then doing something like sine(time*3600)*intensity for the actual wave bit, when the string is hit, set time to 0 and intensity to the hit intensity, decrease intensity until 0 through some curve, or maybe its some mathematically calculated string, or maybe its something completely different because the strings on the far sides appear to almost be a point sliding across the moving instrument with two strings
@@samuels1123 im aware of the sinewaves bits but thats not the issue ... the issue is how would one rig up a workable system in blender to do this properly
@@Ponlets I'm far from an expert but I'm sure a Python script could do it. Throw a thin cylinder onto a path(?) and deform the path with it. Edit: Oh yeah you might also be able to use geometry nodes, forgot those were a thing now lol
Funny you say that, there was a restaurant I'd go to sometimes and the celing looked just like the celing in this video. I always called it the Aqua Harp room.
I used to have my teacher in my old middle school play these videos. It was a good time but I got bullied alought. It was a very bad time for me. But otherwise this helped me become strong.
i thought of lyrics: Lying on the sand ground, In the beautiful sea Fish start swimming around. The clear water is free No restrictions or sound. Bubbles pop with much glee There was a harp that I found. I'll play it, guaranteed. I might get hurt by the strings. I don't care about that. I just wanted to play.

once upon a time i watched this animation as a young-un at a really low quality, thought the harp was fully submerged underwater, and thus mistook the harp picks for fish
True OG’s would recognize how the ending of Stick Figures and beginning of Aqua Harp fit in perfectly together. That’s cause it went in that order, Stick Figures them Aqua Harp then I don’t remember the rest.
this song to me reminds me of the area of Elpis from FFXIV Endwalker. a place where the world was yet unsundered and perfect. yet the undertone of sorrow hints at darker days ahead
I have always loved Animusic and the creative genius behind it. I now challenge all to listen to Alone in Kyoto from Lost in Translation soundtrack and tell me there are not similarities!

Same, except middle school.:3
Same
Same
Same it would always put me to sleep in music class
Same

Perfect for nap time

When I do tire of it, I'm falling asleep to it!
Tbh I just enjoy the music and the way it touches your heart tbh its beautiful music and makes you feel relaxed.
Animusic will always have a place in my heart... My dad showed these to me when I was 4 or 5 and ever since I have always come back to these videos
How can a song, be so depressing, yet so soothing, calming, yet still so emotional, all without words. Animusic is pure art
Animusic was not apart of my childhood, but I know it was for many other's, and watching the whole series has made me realize why
"In a hidden water filled room long forgotten by the world, a mysterious harp plays, its only source of power coming from the water it stands in. At the dusty crossroads of music and academia, it's rumoured that this harp harbours the soul of a long deceased musician who found immortality through their music."

Altijd een genot om naar te luisteren en kijken. Groet uit Nederland. ❤

I appreciate the creativity of combining all the different instruments into one. Beautiful. Reminds me of my grandpa who used to show me these
B-E-A UTIFUL 💓💗👏🏻👏🏻🥰💕💞💛❤️😍💖
That was beyond a simple masterpiece. I was truly saddened to hear it end.
All good things you know
I absolutely love this song, it’s my favorite track on the whole album, I get goosebumps every time I listen to it. 😊
Ah, Aqua Harp is such a wonderful song by Animusic. I just love the combination of the flute, tubular bells, harp, cello, and violin!
Gute Idee
Genau so, Tape
I started to listen when the eight or nine head guitar first play, if it was on tape I’d would have wore it out. The men and women who worked on this are a credit to their job. Today I still love the sounds, and light with the vibrations of the music. Thanks
Ahhh, Aqua Harp never fails to bring a smile to my face and make my day. Such a beautiful and relaxing piece to listen to.😊☺️🙂😌
This is absolutely stunning. It really touches the soul. Thanks for uploading this fantastic piece!
WOW!!!! Enter the Peaceful Music..... Water.... Only thing's missing Candles a Comfy Chair and Relax!!

Dude, it's so sad to hear that most kids didn't grow up listening to this. I still have the DVDs
I love this song so much. It is a soothing song for if you are stressed of angry
Or
I am so impressed. Could sit for hours and listen, dancing sometimes, other times making my own words fit, or making up my own words too. Thank you for a wonderful day❤

To me it sounds a bit pro wrestling-ish. No idea why.
I also like Acoustic Curves' wild west sound, and Harmonic Voltage's Guardians Of The Galaxy (and Tron, the 80's movie) feel!
Beautiful piece of Music. Never get tired of listening. So peaceful.
fantastisch, sensationell und wunderschön!!
I’ll always remember laying back on the hard carpet floors of my elementary school music class, room dark, listening to this and almost falling asleep.
Очень красивая, приятная и спокойная музыка, которую хочется слушать и слушать! Видео потрясающе красиво! Спасибо 🙏 вам огромное! 🥰👍❤️
Anyone else fall asleep to this?
never tire to listen this piece of art
I've listened this for so many-many times... And each time I go: SUPERB! AWESOME! NEVER GETS OLD! And it's SO HEAVENLY!👍👏💓
Extraordinary... Abundantly creating!!! Namaste!!!
Wow from Swiss, nice Music.
Thank you Julian, for this remaster.
Ah wow, it's almost like Shivers (1995) in 3D! Beautiful.
It makes me feel sleepy 😴
The one piece of animusic that makes me cry
I had insomnia as a kid so to help me go to sleep I would put this song on and leave the DVD running for me to sleep to
An interesting part of this is that the harp strings are vibrating in a way that suggests a dominant 3rd harmonic contributes strongly to their tone. Not being a harpist, I can't speak to whether that is true or not for the real-life instrument. But it certainly seems it could be possible.
After twenty years, I finally realized that the water droplets that were plucking the strings triggered the flutes.
I’m gonna happy cry a little.
I remember watching these s a kid in music class. I always think bout them now again and ws always captivated me. The visus, the sounds. Just everything was so fun.
This is pure fantasy vibes. The trickling water completes the mood.

Funny you say that, there was a restaurant I'd go to sometimes and the celing looked just like the celing in this video. I always called it the Aqua Harp room.
Like stars? Or the wall's texture
@@Villagerslime An ocean of stars!
pure aesthetic
2:32 to 3:16 is the most beautiful part, ESPECIALLY 2:50, it makes me want to cry every time.
Fascinating and engaging as always. But I'd like to think of the rocks at the bottom of the pool as coins donated by past audiences.
Thank you so much for putting these on RUclips! I can now cherish some great memories and make new ones with my kids
I always thought they were two fish, in love 🐟
Aw!
Das Video nimmt dich für eine kurze Zeit in eine bessere Welt mit, wenn man will, dafür Danke.
That is simply amazing !! I've not seen or heard of this before, but I like it 👍👍👍
This is like a lullaby to me. It helps me sleep :)
Very very beautiful song from the aquatic harp
This video is Awesome! I love this song period! Just relaxing and beautiful!😊
lsdlaldoamaga d3 soon kaidoqkokakz🥲
I used to be a substitute teacher and whenever I would substitute for the High School teacherr, she would have me play Anamusic. I very much like it.
Beautiful music can capture the imagination and free the mind from reality
This Song Always Makes Me Sleepy 🥱
Forbidden nostalgia unlocked-
Ahhh, good memories.
Thanks!
Core Memory Unlocked: Animusic
When I was younge and watched these I used to picture it as a magician playing these lol.
Karya terbaik,dan byk lagi yg sulit di nilai.
I used to have my teacher in my old middle school play these videos. It was a good time but I got bullied alought. It was a very bad time for me. But otherwise this helped me become strong.
This was the first Animusic song I ever saw!
... in School!
My favorite
If you had a heart like this then you would put it in a grassland
I mean harp
i thought of lyrics:
Lying on the sand ground, In the beautiful sea
Fish start swimming around. The clear water is free
No restrictions or sound. Bubbles pop with much glee
There was a harp that I found. I'll play it, guaranteed.
I might get hurt by the strings. I don't care about that.
I just wanted to play. Here comes the note g flat
The harp's sound is stunning. It has beautiful matte.
When It comes to music, I'll make sure to act...
The ocean goes dark (Sleep the night away)
The oceans grows cold (Freezing in dismay)
Lying on the sand ground, In the beautiful sea
Fish start swimming around. The clear water is free
No restrictions or sound. Bubbles pop with much glee
There was a harp that I found. I'll play it, guaranteed. (Here I am, listen to me)
I might get hurt by the strings. I don't care about that.
I just wanted to play. Here comes the note g flat
The harp's sound is stunning. It has beautiful matte.
When It comes to music, I'll make sure to act...
The ocean goes dark (Sleep the night away)
The oceans grows cold (Freezing in dismay)
Lying on the sand ground, In the beautiful sea (Beautiful Sea)
Fish start swimming around. The clear water is free (Here I am, listen to me)
No restrictions or sound. Bubbles pop with much glee (so gracefully)
There was a harp that I found. I'll play it, guaranteed. (Here I am, listen to me)
I might get hurt by the strings. I don't care about that. (Care about that)

Nice beautiful lyrics.
This is so under-rated
Quite amusing! I hope someone would do a cover on this, since I myself can't sing.
YOU ACTUALLY DID GREAT!!!
NOW I ACTUALLY WANNA SEE THIS!
WE NEED MORE ANIMUSIC WITH LYRICS
One of my favs!
it is the most relaxing music in animusic
Feels like an anime song but better
This is my favorite
Truly relaxing
Back when times were simpler
my favorite!!!
Fantastic !
Beautiful.
This is tremendously excellent. Saved to goog
once upon a time i watched this animation as a young-un at a really low quality, thought the harp was fully submerged underwater, and thus mistook the harp picks for fish
At 1:44, the two high notes that play are not the same between the flute and harp portions. Never noticed this before lol.
I noticed that too. It is a minor error, but noticable.
The key to music is all life? That brings all happiness in the world 🌎
Hope
Прям по струнам души..............
0:51-0:59 It takes me loving 🖤❤️🤎🤍🤎🤍🖤🤍🤎♥️
The nostalgia...
Superbe 🎶💓🎶
My childhood music class was basically just all of these
True OG’s would recognize how the ending of Stick Figures and beginning of Aqua Harp fit in perfectly together. That’s cause it went in that order, Stick Figures them Aqua Harp then I don’t remember the rest.
This sounds like something for a water temple in a zelda game
Wow 😲😲😲😲😲😲😲
Yukina, you home?
Voor mijn begravenis. ❤
Who watched this as a kid ?
Who's here in 2025?
im not crying u r
this song to me reminds me of the area of Elpis from FFXIV Endwalker. a place where the world was yet unsundered and perfect. yet the undertone of sorrow hints at darker days ahead
The start sounds like the theme for 'Donnie Darko'
I have always loved Animusic and the creative genius behind it. I now challenge all to listen to Alone in Kyoto from Lost in Translation soundtrack and tell me there are not similarities!
Just like Erutan's lullaby.
love your vid. you just earned a sub from me 😊
Думаете, мир без людей это мир гармонии.
