The song "Old Love" (which is based on the Japanese folktale, "The Chrysanthemum Pledge") is a story about two Samurai of opposing factions who fall in love. They meet amidst the aftermath of a terrible battle - and in a moment of acknowledgement of the futility of war, they set aside their swords to care for each other... A deep love blooms between them over the coming weeks, but soon they are pulled by the yoke of war. The Samurai make a pledge to return to each other, once the war is finished, and once the chrysanthemums have bloomed. Unfortunately, they are unable to uphold their vows by the time of the blooming, so both, in the throbbing, festering anguish of impossible love, commit harikari. The song is mostly centered around the anguish and eventual suicide of one of the said samurai. However, upon his soul's arrival into heaven, he is greeted by the warm embrace of his lover, who marched into a similar fate. A pledge upheld and true love requited.
What I really wanted to capture in the song - and I'm not sure of the best way to put this - is that there is beauty in tragedy and violence. Their love is forbidden, but sincere, sensitive, and beautiful. Sounds kinda silly to say it like that, but it's what I was feeling when I wrote the song. I felt very connected to these characters and as a fan of Japanese literature, I really wanted to do the beautiful source material justice.
I was introduced to the director, Paul Zito, of Portland, through a mutual friend and instantly fell in love with his work. He immediately seemed to connect with the story when I pitched it to him and cannot overstate how much I appreciated the level of respect and sensitivity he gave to the source material. I should also mention that he made something like 10,000-15,000 paper cut outs and spent like 4 months on the project. The man is an exceptionally talented animation machine - and also just an all around awesome dude. The song by itself only tells so much, but Paul's creative vision turned it into a fully realized piece of work. I am super thankful to have been able to work with him.

--LYRICS--
we met on the battlefield
drank from the ladle by the moon
the blood expanded cross the field
like chrysanthemums in bloom
is there really so much to fear
when we’re all just taking sides
work it out, seek it out,
work it out, uh oh
a promise is a promise
will you finish what you started
i was born to believe, that the change of leaves
could really mean anything, love
i’d cross the mountains and the ocean for ya
just to see ya
i need that old love
and i’m swimming in the dark
i need that cold love
and i'm frozen from the start
i strained my eyes to see
but it was too dark inside and out
how i long to hear you breath
how i long to hear you sound
i so wish to understand
these pangs of solitude
maybe my sword will be peace
will it place me next to you
a promise is a promise
will you finish what you started
i was born to believe, that the change of leaves
could really mean anything, love
i’d cross the mountains and the ocean for ya
just to see you
i need that old love
and i’m swimming in the dark
i need that cold love
and i'm frozen from the start
oh i fear what i have become
lord will they forgive me
all i got left is love
lord with they forget me
i’ll go to the forest with a samurai sword
and I'll spill out all of my love
i strained my eyes to see
but it was too dark inside and out
how i long to hear you breath
how i long to hear you sound
i so wish to understand
these pangs of solitude
maybe my sword will bring me peace
will it place me next to you
small rose blooms turned in the water
as my body fell to the side, but i fell deeper
into the silt of your love, silently waiting
for your infinite embrace, and there i floated
with your arms around me, closing on the distance
eternity is in us now that you're by my side
each sensation is a memory from our lives?

I’m crying, it’s really a masterpiece. I haven’t heard anything more touching and penetrating. And this animation is gorgeous.
Thank you Anna! Glad people are still running into this song :)
The way this song makes you feel high by listening to Otis insane
I was definitely high when I wrote this ;)
I heard this song on a commercial and cannot stop listening to it. My hearth is happy✌️☮️
haha what commercial?
Ha, same! Used Shazam app to find it Joe - it's a complexion (device?) YT commercial. Was too into the song to pay much attn to the ad, lol
@@zaniac7584 yes I did too.
@@JoeHertler I don’t remember the product but it was someone skating somewhere near a beach.
The commercial was for a company called "Omnilux" @@JoeHertler
Great song ! Heard it on the TV and stopped what I was doing in another room to groove to it.
I’m here because of David Jones , David really knows good music:D
Same!
@scammpy ADAYOOOOOOOO!!! Sean and he rips with his rip stick

FINGER BOARDDDD WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKK

thank you for checking it out :)
Oh my god! I have been trying to find who sings this song. I heard it on the Omnilux Mini commercial on YT and couldn't get it out of my head. So glad I found it. Instant fan. Subbed to your channel. Will treat myself to this song!
came here to say this as well!
Yes!! Incredible talent. I can't stop listening to this amazing band and watching their videos. To think I heard this song on a skin care device commercial of all places. Glad you found it too. We are birds of a feather, lol! @@IonucaW
I've listened to this song multiple times a day since it showed up on reddit. The bass line and the flute really make this song a masterpiece. Props man. Props.
"Eternity is in us now, that you're by my side
Each sensation is a memory from our lives"
These guys are amazing song writers, my god. So fucking good
I heard incision instead of sensation
2:30 gives me chills every time
ill send this to my loved one
Thank you for bringing this to world 😭
My, Suptic has a good taste in music.
ayy yes
Hell yeah
I've listened to it everyday since I heard it in his video.
Yes
I know it's so awesome, already discovered the rascals and foxygen as well as this group through sugar pine!
Found this as an on hold song for “Figs Scrubs” what a jam
For those wondering: they're both male. It's based on a classic Japanese story _Kikka no chigiri_ (The Chrysanthemum Pledge), first published in 1776, but based on an older folk tale from China - _Fan Juqing jishu sisheng jiao_ (Fan Juqing's Eternal Friendship) which first appeared in print in a Chinese compilation of stories in 1620. Both belong to the "ghost story" genre. In the Japanese adaptation, it's about a young monk and a samurai (not two samurais, that was forbidden), Hasebe Samon and Akana Sōemon. It was sort of a love story, but the main themes were loyalty and keeping promises. And yeah it was pretty blatantly about a gay relationship. They also weren't from opposing sides either and there were no battles (at least not ones they were directly involved in). But I like this adaptation better. ^-^
yeah, i definitely made some changes to the OG story - and I hope it doesn't come off as insensitive (because i adore the source material). thanks for posting this, though. you're one of the angels of the internet!
yeah, i took a few creative liberties :)
Wait you’re telling me that it’s not mulan

Thanks Mr Ly, this was great
The fact that this video has not gone viral makes me sad.
Banana Man
there is a love-between two warriors playing out in time-and clear it is they will be together-whether loving or warring/hunting/preying- together they belong and it is strong-with all a wedding may be found- with two shall be an eternity- without embracing the officiator-darkness ensues for two...
amazing
This song and story is so wonderful!! I fell in love with it immediately! Thank you so much for making a song about this!
