"The Moon:" an owlphanumeric collaboration

[PuppyZwolle]

Made me smile again. Totally in my heart this song.

[IamNotTheMoon]

@PuppyZwolle My dear Puppy, you are such a romantic!

[PuppyZwolle]

Came back to admire this masterpiece again and noticed it's been a while since last I made my presence known. So.. thanks again. Still enjoy this very much.

[IamNotTheMoon]

@PuppyZwolle Thank god you are still present!

[PuppyZwolle]

@IamNotTheMoon Yes, stuck between past and future there is always the gift of now.

[Poemsapennyeach]

Excellent on every level...great voices combo...effects...Marvellous.

[IamNotTheMoon]

It'll have to do for now, I suppose.

[PuppyZwolle]

Oh ooh aah. Like fireworks. Damn this is so pretty and an orgasmic pleasure to hear and watch.

Faved.

[IamNotTheMoon]

Sigh. I should probably go back to making videos in this style, eh?

Thanks for having an orgasm while watching this!

[PuppyZwolle]

I was a lot of fun but 'going back'?

We'll always have Paris.

>;^)

[IamNotTheMoon]

I guess it wouldn't necessarily be going back. More like drifting laterally.

[couragemyboy]

This song is most beautiful! I felt compelled to grace it with a comment in its little box because it made me smile.

Lyrically fantastic! lots of love and thanks for giving the internet this gift

[IamNotTheMoon]

My boy, you have encouraged us, and for this I thank you.

[LeopardJoy]

Beautiful!!! Owl's voice is like a clear bell ringing out! Just gorgeous...and this video is just plain adorable!

All the best,

Joy/the Leopard Lounge

[IamNotTheMoon]

YOU are adorable, Ms. Joy.

[weegingayin]

That is just too clever.

Perfect marriage of music lyrics and visuals

[IamNotTheMoon]

You are obviously a man of discriminating taste. I thank you, sir!

[chevkoch]

you're the thing that waxes me

and what my waning's for

Brilliant. My mind somersaults at how much work this piece likely demanded.

[IamNotTheMoon]

Callie wrote those lines...but I sure wish I had! How clever is that?

Getting my mind to somersault would require more energy than I put into this video...but I appreciate the thought!

[lynnedjones]

great!

[IamNotTheMoon]

Oh, pshaw! But thanks just the same!

[Appropriator]

sublime

[IamNotTheMoon]

Now it's your turn, my brutha!

[BRIDEofAVDJ]

wonderful.

[IamNotTheMoon]

Thank you, oh bride.

[smartbluecat]

Love that moon shot!

Wonderfully constructed as usual. Great tune too.

:o)

[IamNotTheMoon]

Finally, somebody who notices the song's construction! It is an architectural wonder, isn't it!

[smartbluecat]

It certainly is my friend. You are extremely good... if a tad tardy when responding to comments.

:o)

Have a great weekend man.

:o)

Gary

[IamNotTheMoon]

I guess I'm just a little RE-tardy...

ha ha ha ha ha !

[lapislazuline]

very,very good!

[IamNotTheMoon]

Thank you very much!

[lapislazuline]

that,s alright,don,t mention it

old chap ;)

[BigLoveZone]

I always feel like I've fallen down the rabbit hole when I watch your videos. Believe me when I say I enjoy this weird but awesome place you've carved out here.

[IamNotTheMoon]

Well, in my defence, I think that, as holes go, it is very warm and tidy.

[BigLoveZone]

Steven, I go looking for rabbit holes. It's plenty warm and tidy plus it has a dessert bar. Who could ask for more?

[IamNotTheMoon]

Absinthe, anyone?

[nitemareglitch]

This reminds me os RatherGood hard.

[IamNotTheMoon]

I can think of several things that are rather good hard. I wonder if we are thinking of the same thing?

[nitemareglitch]

Maybe....hhmmm

[IamNotTheMoon]

Ok, it's been 7 months, and I still don't really know what your comment. meant. Is RatherGood a band or...what? forgive my ignorance.

[nitemareglitch]

It is a web site, and they produced songs and videos in this same vein. You should check them out, you would have something in common with them for sure.

[IamNotTheMoon]

wow! this is great stuff! wish I'd asked earlier. Thanks a heep!

[nitemareglitch]

Of course! Always looking to spread some creative love!

[nightie82]

This video is so wonderfully weird.. and your voices go so very well together.

[IamNotTheMoon]

Stay tuned! More weirdness and wonder to come!

At least, I hope it does.

[eaglecrowowl]

I feel the same way. I love the music, the sound of the voices, the crazy beautiful animating images. The moon shadows are especially nice. Your work is so intricate and seamless. Wonderful!

[IamNotTheMoon]

Thanks, Caren! Although I don't know about seamless...I keep seeing all the little flaws and errors I didn't notice before putting it up.

[speedyconkiwi]

that was so beautiful!

is there a way one can have that song as mp3? i love it so! :D

[IamNotTheMoon]

The song's chord chart belongs to me, as does the melody, lyrics and harmonies sung by the male voices. Callie's part, both melody and lyrics, was written by herself. Putting the two parts together at the end in counterpoint was also her idea.

[fluorisch]

wow, you're becoming more and more skilful it seems! and what a wonderful song! did you write it? and callie's voice is pure velvet, so beautiful ...

[fluorisch]

gee, I should read the description box before commenting. but still: who of you made which parts of the song?

[eddusfledermaus]

So beautiful!

[IamNotTheMoon]

Yes, she is.

Sigh. But she's taken.

[eddusfledermaus]

you're both beautiful! <3

[IamNotTheMoon]

Thanks! : )

But she has nicer clothes.

[personalimagery]

have no words, sort of... how amazing. images and song.

[IamNotTheMoon]

what the heck, say it in portuguese! I'll take praise in any language!

[personalimagery]

ainda sem palavras. but I can say... great work. and I love Callie's music.

[IamNotTheMoon]

You got that right! Callie rocks in any language!

[ebob58]

What a great video. I love this song. Great harmonies. Your visuals are unique!

[IamNotTheMoon]

If by unique you mean totally, incomprehensibly weird, then I would have to agree!

[deach69]

Wow! Incredible video and awesome song!

[IamNotTheMoon]

Grazzi! Wasn't Callie awesome!?!

[commonteri]

Great music collaboration! The music production is just plain excellent.

[IamNotTheMoon]

Thank god for computers. No tape hiss!

[CasualDaveDotCom]

gorgeous vid, gorgeous song, gorgeous performance!

[IamNotTheMoon]

gorgeous comment! thanks a bunch!

[owlphanumeric]

oh steven, every time i watch one of your videos, i have to come down afterwards. ;-)

[IamNotTheMoon]

Imagine what my vlogging would be like...

[IamNotTheMoon]

actually, no, scratch that, the thought is too horrible to contemplate!

[SomebodyIusedtoknow]

wonderful, both of you.

[IamNotTheMoon]

Now I feel like I've scratched behind the ear! Thanks, Mariam!

[Loreleila]

Very clever, great song. The link to Owlphanumeric is broken though.

[IamNotTheMoon]

Yikes! You're right. I'll fix that link right away.

[Clobberbob55]

The HD looks soooo good.

The song, delightful.

Some fancy manipulatin' going on, there.

Easy favorite.

[IamNotTheMoon]

Thank god for HD! The hard part is figuring out which settings to use in order to get it!

Glad you like the song! In hindsight, I rather wish I'd asked Callie to yodel...but that may have taken it a little over the top.

[tps607]

I love the many moons! Great song,video and collaboration! *****

[IamNotTheMoon]

I guess the stars, and moons, were all in alignment for this one!

Thanks!

[tps607]

very much so!
