It is an enchanting interpretation and your german pronounciation is really cute. Especially the the short end of every strophe makes this interpretation so special. It let feel the loneliness so good. Nice animation too. My compliments for the artists, well done. Heartly greetings from Germany

[KingdomHeart87]

Really cute.

I love your singing.

*add to favorites*

[jonny141]

wow superschön!

[Annakonda2]

Sehr schön *schnief*

[Annakonda2]

Is the flying thing a dog? :-)

[UKISOCIETY]

I've compared this to other versions of the song and am amazed by your wonderful interpretation, especially making it fit so beautifully to the ukulele. It's a masterful arrangement. Truly.

[Harlekinopal]

So schön! :-)

[dickchurch]

just found this, very beautiful singing and animation.

[I1DR4U]

Amazing...

[DardisMusic]

[ludo281160]

[owlphanumeric]

Hope your sunday is wonderfully wonderful ;-D

[redbaron863]

Very sweet..

[owlphanumeric]

thank you so much!

[cogermax91]

super video !!bravo very creatif !!!!*****

[owlphanumeric]

Yaffle is an animatory genius, don't you think?

[Gigi69SentByAngels]

This is soooooo cute!! :) I happen to be German & think you did a great job! Going to share this with my German YT friend Wolfgang.

[owlphanumeric]

i hope wolfgang doesn't cringe at the german ;-( ;-D

[redbaron863]

No, it´s a sweet German...:)

[owlphanumeric]

i studied german in school, but my teacher was austrian. it was only years later that i discovered that a lot of what i learned was very different structurally than germany;s german. having said that, i realize that my mistakes are heinous bout in austria, german and some parts of belgium;-)

i appreciate your sweetness...

[redbaron863]

Don´t worry, be happy...;)

Austria and German language is not very different. Austria is near Bavaria, thats why they speak a little bit strange...lol

Best whishes

Wolfgang

[avisualjourney]

Beautiful piece, love the vibrancy of the animation.

[IamNotTheMoon]

THIS is why I stay on YouTube. Because now and then the stars align, and people give the world their best.

[josephhoh]

beautiful voice. I love the folky picking too

[PuppyZwolle]

Oh man this is so... Im moved to tears. Next to "Der Erlen konich" my second fav German song/poetry, and yes I do know a few more ;^)

[personalimagery]

I still didn't find "different" words to write. love to you and yaffle.

[NIGHToftheBUNNIES]

owlphanumeric , this is incredible. great work with the German. and the singing is pretty. yaffle is a genius, no? The design of this video is very appealing. How does he do it? Glad I came across it.

[LadyDiWolfe]

That was beautiful! It's an old tune but when it's performed in this way, it is ageless. :)

[czmma]

This could not be more achingly true.

[eaglecrowowl]

What do I comment on first?! Callie I love you singing in German. I love you singing period. You inflection is very real, you sing with sweetness and with pain at the same time. I find it very touching. and then....

YAFFLE! How can he be so good! I love the egg bouncing through the mountain channel. I love the bird. It's so charming. LOVE IT! Five hundred starts. :)

[MBRHIndustries]

Nicely done you two.

[luvagirr9]

omg i have missed me some owlmusics. i use to take german back in high skool foreverago and i prolly understood 10% of that tharr there. but either way, ja voll wunderbar ich mochte ins kino gehen und discotek tanzen, aber wo is die toilette? meine jacke ist klein aber das lied war sehr schon... ganz vielliecht ganz totally.

[squirereset]

I love this...

[owlphanumeric]

haha! are birds misfit reps.? now i know why i love them so much!

[eddusfledermaus]

This is so so incredible. Callie singing in German and Yaffle animating birds! This is a dream video! So fantastic!

[owlphanumeric]

i do love birdies...;-)

[nightie82]

[merlin4012]

Gorgeous! Hypnotic, enigmatic, affecting. And many, many more adjectives of praise.

[krabbers]

superb

[frumpyframpton]

I was rooting for her getting with the bat =\

I'm really glad youtube exists to let me watch yaffle animate you =]

[owlphanumeric]

you pervert! birds are for birds and bats are for bats!!!

make a video now.

[frumpyframpton]

Patience, patience. I'm working on a couple videos, so hopefully soon there will be regular output, at least for a bit.

Everyone needs a bird, even bats.

[temo]

cool man i love it.....

[owlphanumeric]

did you just call me man??? !!! ;-D

[temo]

yeah but in a completely unisex kinda way.

my dear woman

[CheapRobot]

very well done both of you

[owlphanumeric]

we thank you

[IamNotTheMoon]

Wow!

[owlphanumeric]

a man of many words as always;-)

[bearchay889]

Well done beautiful singing and video.

[owlphanumeric]

thankyou!

[chevkoch]

Die Genialität von euch beiden... Callie, du hast die Stimme schön für immerdar. Mr. Yaffle, what an animation adept you obviously are. That enchanted cloud! If for nothing else, the cloud alone would have made my day more complete. Wenn mich jemand sucht, man findet mich nun auf Wolke Sieben.

[owlphanumeric]

OMG, i'm on cloud n9! which is so close to cloud 7! float a little higher so we can float around and play harp together!

[chevkoch]

I'll pick a bit at Csus, it should propel me up. Where do you plug that harp in on clouds?

[owlphanumeric]

i've got an outlet in the bottom-side of my cloud...it's nice up here...

[chevkoch]

AC/DC in the skies. Heaven?

[mikecrazy03]

That was sooo beautiful! I'm so moved too :) You're German sounds very good. You haven't a American accent, more a dutch accent :)

You're German voice is soo nice :)

[owlphanumeric]

a dutch accent! hahaha..probably a flemish one! how funny, and marvelous!

[samisorad]

I loved this even though I didn't understand a word (thank you for the translation!).

The animation was precious too!

Lovely <3

[SomebodyIusedtoknow]

i love your beautiful minds ♥

[owlphanumeric]

we love your beautiful everything.

[bwhahrhr]

I am totally moved by this.

Your german is wonderfull and your dialect (?) is charming.

Yaffle has out done him self as well.

[owlphanumeric]

you mean my poorly pronounced words? and that extra T in erwachen? you can blame my retarded austrian teacher for teaching my horrific german. if you ever teach me some, i can blame you;-) hi m. hugs galore to ewe.

[K80Blog]

Love it. Beautiful job both of you.

[owlphanumeric]

hearts galore to you k80blargh

[ournationalspace]

Yaffle is amazing. Combined with the incomparable Owlphanumeric and the result, like this, is touching, real and timeless. This is really special because it's sweet without artifice - just what it is. How lucky are we, the tiny few, who get to see the works of you two. Imagine if YouTube's front page for "most viewed" were filled with videos like this - all full of blossoming breath and sinew - living not just being - and not looking for views but searching for expression!

[owlphanumeric]

your appreciation means the world to me, ONS. it's friends like you who are the inspirational fuel.

[russbuss415]

wonderful performance and animation!

[worschd21]

plain lovelieness!

one of the songs from my childhood i love to remember. lovely song and animation!

[owlphanumeric]

i'm completely inspired by your music...what an amazing raw talent you have! and pretty hands too!

[mctrmt]

Simply beautiful.

[joelovesyou]

ummmmm,, beautiful!!!! Wunderbar!!!!! soooo pretty:):):)

[owlphanumeric]

tweet tweets at you joe!

[HerfJerf]

Wowzer!

[UKISOCIETY]

SO beautiful....!!!!

[timelapse19]

[Mikey34549]

Sweet!!

[deach69]

Awesome video!  I don't schprechen but it sounded great!

[owlphanumeric]

thanks!

[cheekychen]

that was lovely.

[owlphanumeric]

hey paul! how are you?! i sometimes miss your "self" ;-)

[cheekychen]

hey hey.. yeah I'm not bad thanks. I moved back out of town for a bit so I'm enjoying having nature back at my fingertips for the summer :)

How is life in Belgium treating you?

[owlphanumeric]

I am, at the moment packing up our house in the burbs and preparing to move into our new 500 year old house in the very center of antwerp. we're on opposite parallels;-)

[cheekychen]

No way! that sounds amazing, I can't wait see it! i really liked antwerp though we were only there a few days.. There was a cool outsider art exhibition at a big gallery in town. It was awsome.

Good luck with the move :]

[BasicModelling]

Sung from the heart? Does that mean you're some sort of ventral-oquist??? :)

[owlphanumeric]

oh my gosh, how long have you been waiting to release that?! how awesome! ;-D

[BasicModelling]

I saved that one for a special moment.. like now.. :)

[bCurious2]

Wirklich ganz  wundervoll!!!

[owlphanumeric]

my comment back keeps getting eaten! you're so sweet for giving the sweet compliment!...;-)

[speedyconkiwi]

: )

[owlphanumeric]

you missed that extra T in erwachen! hahahaha
