In the Mood for Love - Shigeru Umebayashi

"The roads gleam towards you
The oceans beckon towards you
A beauty beyond the lapping waves..."

[@cut--]

I'm 57. both of my parents died from covid and strokes in the last few months. I have no children. I have no bucket list. My brother died in 2004. I have nothing left but to hang on and wait for something. I have a small garden and 2 little dogs to keep me busy. There isn't ANY music that better defines my existence.

[@yelkapolic251]

youre so strong, im 25,and words like that make me think, I just have my dad and nothing more, nothing less ... is so sad

[@fahadkhalil9966]

I wish you peace and joy in your life regardless of the tragedies you have faced.. All the best..

[@alfombraspersasyorientaleslior]

I am sorry for your losses, for the time passt, for the loneliness and the pain. Dogs are best companions for the soul. I am 46 and have a very similar story to yours. Suddenly I have fallen in love this week and I now see, that my life was not at its end. This might be a new beginning. I have the feeling, thst the same will happen to you. You just need to accept the pain and open your eyes to every single day. The sun comes out for you everyday, and gives you an extra day. Use that extra day to love every single detail of your dog companions, of your garden, of your house, of yourself, and of nature. Someone out there is waiting for your soul to heal, so that she can love you.

[@melodysohn4306]

I’m only 29, and korean. But I can feel your emotions... On a difficult and exhausting day, please remember that someone in Korea cheered you on and thought.

[@jeskrana]

I'm sending you a big hug from Mexico. Love your dogs a lot.

Last year I worked at this coffee shop, it was warm spring evening and the place was empty, my manager was somewhere out and I took my chance. I opened all the windows and blasted this on the speakers. It was magical. Music was flowing down the streets, people living in the nearby buildings opening their windows and letting music in. People were drawn in the coffee shop, they were so happy. It was the most perfect, divine moment of my life. Edit: Wow! I couldn't imagine this would reach so many people. Thank you for all the likes and comments, it brings me the purest joy to know that so many of you experienced what I felt and that my story made you smile or brightened your day. I am very grateful and blessed, wish you all nothing but love. ♡

To everyone who has commented up here and made themselves vulnerable with their very personal and moving stories I say thank you. Like so many I have lost all of my loved ones starting at age 7 with my mother. I won’t tell my traumatic sad tale I just mentioned that because I can relate. I just turned 68 and my only wish besides world, peace, and the end of suffering, for everyone is to outlive my comfort rescue animals . I’m ready to go now, but I can’t leave them behind. I may be selfish, but I’m not that selfish. To anyone reading this I sent you light. I send you love. And I send you strength. I hope it reaches you and helps.

[@MM-jm8bg]

I'm 47, a single woman, having a midlife crisis, lost much during covid, and am now feeling stagnant in life. This music reminds me life can be a melancholic dance, and can be dancing only in circles, but who says it can't be beautiful? Even if it is sad and melancholic, who says life has to be all happy and all beautiful? As long as I can keep on dancing and am dancing now. Sadness and melancholy are meant to be felt and have beauty of their own, adding multiple spectra of emotions and different experiences to enrich life. Life is perhaps just a circle? We are all going back to where we came from somehow, someday; but as long as I have today and tomorrow, and my time hasn't come yet. The choice to continue dancing is mine to make.

[@user-jn6jm4bb6f]

I was in the place you are talking about, I knew it well and in all his depth. This is not a place of loss but of a new beginning, a fresh and clean beginning. without the chains that bound us. If you look carefully, you will see that instead of one path, many paths have opened up to you. Yes I know, it's scary when we are given the freedom to choose ourselves, will we know which path to choose? But you know what? The choice already exists in us, in our hearts. If you listen to your heart, it will guide you in the way you should walk. Not sure that this will be the easiest way, but in the future you will see that it was the right one.

I am 31 year old, got brain damage at the age of 28, I use to be physically very active, eat healthy food, always avoid junk food, dont smoke or drink, dont even drink soft drink.... but at age 28 it came shock to me why it happend to me? Doc discovered there was a hole in my heart which caused stroke, I learned that I was carry this ticking time bomb within my body since I was born but blasted at the age of 28 resulting in few part permanent brain damange after then series of problems, increased anxierty which also cause stomach problems, cannot breath like a normal person, havent felt my my body relaxed since then till now my stomach is not normal like before....but you know I accept it, I dont complain about it anymore, it must have be some bad karma from past life, I must go through it, accept whatever happens in life as life just trying to purify you, life is doesnt mean only happy, wealthly, healthy... life is also poverty, sadness, sickness... if you avoid any of it then you are avoiding life... embrace everything and just do what is best... sometimes best doesnt mean problem has to be fixed sometimes striving can be best.... just remember keep love in your heart for yourself and society and do best for others...sometimes very small gesture by you to someone can emprint long life impression on others.

Hola yo tengo hipotiroidismo, lupus, irc y fibromialgia. Al principio sentía horrible porque al igualq tu y otras personas, la vida cambia en un cerrar y abrir de ojos pero cuando salí del hospital y vi a mi hija, solo le dije y me dije a mi misma: la vida es así, no te da lo que quieres si no lo q necesitas. Y supongo q paso porque yo soy muy chillona y tenia q aprender a dejar de serlo y mi hija podía ser igual q yo pero ahora es bastante fuerte. Pero tu forma de exponerlo es más bonita y tranquiliza el corazón. Mucho éxito en tu vida

Some of the comments that moved me: 1. Life is a circle. We're all going back to where we came from. 2. Music really unites us all. ( I also believe it heals all wounds) 3. This music gives me peace . 4.who says life has to be all happy n beautiful! 5. You have to walk alone in the end. May I add: Pain n longing make us feel human and alive. The tears wash away our sorrows. We learn to live with a broken wing or a broken heart till we learn to share love with all around us. The ones we have lost are there in all.

The movie In The Mood For Love came out when I was a young medical student in the early 2000s. I loved it so much I bought the DVD (remember them?) and played it over and over. Now I’m a middle aged doctor with all sorts of heavy responsibilities but hearing this song take me back to when I was young and more hopeful. In these 20 years I have loved and lost. I’ve despaired and have felt pain and anguish. I’ve hurt those I loved and been hurt by them as well. This song exposes all those emotions and make them raw again. But I suppose it’s better to feel something rather than nothing.....It’s strangely melancholy yet peaceful.

Much adulation in order for someone who's been saving lives and curing diseases for 20 plus years. All you front line medical folk should never underestimate the jarring impact you have in the world. Even one person you've assisted or saved can go on to do unforgettably great things for the world. I know the "looking back on your life and wondering what if" feeling more than most, and the only vaccine for it is hoping and striving to make what you have in your present and future as good as it can be. Keep up the good fight my friend. Cheers.

[@engletinaknickerbocker5380]

Not quite 70, but close enough. I keep hearing a French theme in this music. The title in the typical sense of the word doesn't really fit what I'm thinking along the lines of displaced moral compass in the world. In my mind the everlasting issue of domination in the Middle East is just that much more confusing than usual in the past year, with a lot of innocents dying, as well as in Central and Eastern Europe for the last few years. And, that's not to say that those aren't only the main focus of anyone living in the USA for the last few years, either. It's just that the news cycle with those elements and the vivid corruption on display here is at the forefront.

Nostalgia is a Greek word. From "Nostos" (missing) and "Algos" (pain). Oh, my beautiful mother language.. and then this divine piece of music that couldn't describe better this painful feeling of missing someone or somebody.. Like the child yearning for his mother's chest, the once-beloved without his mate, the refugee tore apart from his homeland, the old lady remembering her long-gone youth, the lonely passenger standing at the bus station, the unforgiven and the unforgotten.. Again and again. In the darkest of times, remember that we, people, have more similarities than differences, no matter what conflicts our governments lead us to, we are all the same, we feel the same, same dreams, same fears, same pains, same hopes.

The music is perfect... but, I was also amazed by the painting so I decided to google the artist (Gao Xingjian).. a genius Chinese novelist, playwright, and critic who in 2000 was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature "for an oeuvre of universal validity, bitter insights, and linguistic ingenuity." He is also a noted translator, screenwriter, stage director, and a celebrated painter.!!! His paintings are so amazing that I got lost in them. I will keep coming here...

I love this music and have listened for years to this video, although today was the first day I read all of the comments. So much pain and hurt out there.. Ultimately, my dear friends, nothing will get you peace or happiness that is outside of yourself - you must find that route from within. Difficult? Yes, but the only solution. Last year I lost my 95yo mother, my 24 yo daughter, covid, dog, etc., but these are exactly the moments that build mental fortitude. How you react to these events determines your fate. In the words of Miyamoto Musashi: "There is nothing outside of yourself that can ever enable you to get better, stronger, richer, quicker or smarter. Everything is within."

[@ginabeaudette158]

Many years, almost a lifetime ago, while in Peru, deep in the Amazonian forest, elderly native women held me under a black starlit sky and sang lullabies in their native tongue, stroking and loving me as if I were a child while I wept. This music has taken me there, to the same sweet healing place and time. The nectar of this melody carries the entire world from the beginning of time, within it.

Here is my story: My best friend and I used to listen to this very thing all the time. We loved these paintings so much that we searched for it. Printed it and got it framed in our little hangout. We were psyched that day. It was a beautiful day when we put up those frames on the wall. We planned to decorate our walls further. But he lost his life tragically almost 2 years ago and this is the first time I have gathered the courage to listen to this tune again. My life has been a hell without him by my side. I have been terribly lonely. Even as i type this i am sitting all alone on a rainy night. I plan to use this tune for one my videos and upload it on you tube as a homage to our friendship. There is nothing but immersing myself in music and work now for me. Thats what life is all about for me now. I love you all. Thank you for sharing your sorrows here. I feel less lonely now.

Reading the comment section was so helpful. So many beautiful stories and similar sentiments.

The comment section with hundreds of comments, mostly in English, but by people of different nationalities. I'm just attracted we all unite in music, love, and heartbreak, without having to speak the same language. Languages, races, ethnicities, religions etc. Those barriers all fail when we speak of emotions, or when we are in the mood for love, maybe. This music... It reminds me of the need to break all those barriers for the sake of being in the mood for love, peace, and empathy.

[@ivankatheheadhunter4857]

Is that russia? Well, it's started many wars. For example, in Syria, Georgie, Ukraine and in fact annexed Belorus

im 35 , not married , dont have jobs and currently taking care my parents. One day i will disappear from these world, i hope anyone reading these will have better future from me and be happy with what you have..

[@octavia476]

Almost the same here

[@sedaduman2396]

I feel you...there are people in 30s having a career and boyfriend/girlfriend to hang out with, but nothing to do/no connection with their parents. Spending time away from the core values. Which is what? we must consider. You have a big heart taking care of your parents. It will pass and turn dont worry.

[@mathematicsguru97]

[@ArtificialHuman69]

Likewise brother

[@cael_1212]

I am 18 and I just love the variety here. Different people,different ages expressing their different ideas on love.

[@A_QuestioningSoul]

If you too feel moved, sad, melancholy with memories of love and pain that life brings, and yet a smile caresses your lips, your eyes twinkle at yet the world so wide and vivid, you are a friend who I might never meet, but in spirit we are friends; forever! 🙏🏾🙂🇮🇳

[@Ubarcus]

Awww that's exactly what I feel, love you my friend ❤

[@jemecalmesijeveux9440]

C’est beau ce que tu dis… love it 🙏🇫🇷

You are indeed my kindred. Greetings from Texas

[@Doylefaust]

And one day I will find a person who’s voice makes me feel the exact same way as this song.

59세 나에게도 화양연화와 같은 시절이 있었지~ 요즘은 문득,문득 나의 그 화양연화와 같은 시절이 생각 나기도 했는데~ 그래서 며칠전이 영화를 또 봤는데 또 며칠이 지나서 그 주제곡을 듣다니~ 놀랍다.

[@shohrehpourmand9906]

Not only this beautiful music, but the lovely comments are so heartwarming. Thank you.

[@berradi5521]

This music make my tears come out. I hear two sounds, one represents my perseverance in this life, the second my heart pains. The two of them walk together like one peace. This music represents perfectly my feelings now.

I feel like youtube has got streets, corners, districts, neighbourhoods, it's like a big metropolis that grows forever. There are like super-well-known and giant neighbourhoods like the pop music ones. You listen to a pop music, you'll go to another pop music. But there are less known bars, cafés and some weird alleys with bohemian folks or weird people whom you want to be friends with - like the macro-café of videos of the songs Yael Naim - Toxic, Hindi Zahra - Stand Up, Damien Rice - Cheers Darlin'. I've just discovered this by taking the route from Stavros Lantsias - Vals of the Eyes, but I don't even remember how did I get there. Probably I left the Yael-Hindi-Damien cafés, cops (that work for the metropolitan area of the KZbin City) saw that I liked that kind of thing. Then, they drove me one square down that same street and came to the Vals of the Eyes "independent theatre": it's not like a café anymore, but a little group of weirdos who like that kind of classic thing who decide to turn their house into a theatre, something pretty cozy and hospitable, with comfortable sofas, a fireplace, a cinnamon scent in the air and local artist's paintings in the walls. There might have lots of comments, lots of views, lots of likes - but like in any other place, people come, people go. All that remains are memories: memories of who have already enjoyed that strange, tiny little place, like if the views and etcetera were signature books full of messages, sketches, scrawls, declarations of love, drawings - but it's not only here! It's not only all over that KZbin city, but all over the whole Internet. Everything written on the Internet was written on the past. Like that comment. I started writing that since the video was about counting 2 minutes. It has now passed the 25 min marker. Everything is in the past, everything we have are mementos. That's so beautiful. Stopped writing at 34:30.

[@Κίκο-ξ3ε]

KensoulEu That's a wonderful thought to make 😊

[@davidlillo1606]

Great analogy !

[@saoirserosenstock8144]

KensoulEu you have such a beautiful perspective! And yesss I love vals of the eyes I actually got to see him live in naxos he was amazing. X

[@alain3768]

Do a search for Cocolino Deep .... You deserve it ;-)

[@hannahmsiqf2048]

KensoulEu sending you and people like you love ❤️

[@oracledreamhealer]

Tears of sadness and longing. Tears of joy. What an enchanting, hunting melody. I danced to it alone and wept a bit. My tears then transformed into tears of quiet ecstasy. I have lost all the people i love, but they all danced with me, as i danced to this tune. No one was missing. Don't be afraid to feel the depth of your emotions. Release them. It is hard to be human, but life is still a beautiful gift! Keep your heart open and the universe will give you all the love that you need. Dance! Dance like there is no tomorrow. You are never alone. Thank you for posting this video. ❤

[@ThreeDogHeads]

Delightful. Gorgeous. Simple. Whimsical. Gentle. Counter-intuitive. Appropriate. Umebayashi is a marvelous composer.

[@raquelcampo3059]

Cuanta emoción. Alegría de leer a tantos seres hermosos, sensibles, llenos de amor, de fragilidad, de fortaleza, de realidad. Sólo desearos ganas de disfrutar, de comprender, de aceptar, de renacer...de amar a todo y a todos...

[@anacolle6264]

this is do beatiful, full of love and longing, presence of people that have left and moments to liven on . i am 74 and living alone with a cat and a small garden to care for. i love music thanks to my mom

[@dantikks]

hello to you, your cat and garden!

[@micasa4412]

Rainy day in Washington D.C., thinking about my father who pasaed away three months ago. First Father's Day without him. Death somehow glorifies life. This piece echoes the journey we have, sad, repetative yet painfully beautiful. When we learn to embrace all moments, we still need to love, love and love...

[@eva_.___]

Im sorry. I feel you.

[@moss34]

It's like the solo violinist is "you" and the other strings in the background is everyone around you, as they all conform to society and interact as a community, meanwhile you just hand around with your own thoughts floating aimlessly in your head: no one else bothers about them but you

[@okyongiscute8732]

this commentttttt

[@sarame6361]

Wow! It’s exactly what this music makes you feel.You explained the reason of it.

[@diamend85]

sometimes when i am working nightshifts there is this moment when i feel tired but still awake, when i let all the guard down that stands between me and my experience, where i feel everthing so pure and so big its almost overwhelming. sometimes we lost a fight and had to watch somebody die, sometimes we won or nothing big happend at all. but from time to time there are those moments where you stop thinking and the experience of everything hits you in a fullness that is just inexplicable.. the only thing that can help to grasp it is the right kind of music..

[@justacasualviewer]

Such melancholic music, such longing, such human connection. ❤ I've downloaded this video, just so I can go through the comments section when I feel like I need a safe community. ❤

[@ferdawsyakoubi4720]

I put this music before sleep. It became related to my dreams. It calms my mind. It’s magical. Reading some comments made me feel that this piece brought us together to a world of magic and dreams❤

[@marielarodriguezponferrada6424]

Me identifico en tus palabras ❤

[@Ubarcus]

Yes

[@natalijajevdjenic3257]

This music is like connecting the great sky and the endless sea, the East and the West an all beautiful minds in all these lovely comments in different languages here. All of them are very inspiring to me ❤
