“MANTA RAY”
Music byJ. Ralph
Lyrics by Antony Hegarty
performed by J. Ralph & Antony
Produced by J. Ralph
Co-Produced by Arthur Pingrey
LYRICS:
In the trees
Between the leaves
All the growing
That we did
All the loving
And separating
All the turning
To face each other
I divide
In the sky
In the the seams
Between the beams
All the loving
And separating
All the turning
To face each other
Without biodiversity
I'm nothing
It's like I never
Existed
Without my home
With no reflection
I cease to exist
And my children
Are dying now
Inside me
All I love
All I know
All I've known
I am dying now
Inside me
My children

[@roysudipta1258]

I still remember that night. This song made me shedding tears all the night. And that night I decided to study on environment science. Thought I was a student of business studies background. And, I think I took the excellent decision. ❤ For the nature.

[@Sporesmore]

The oscars missed the opportunity for an incredible performance by not featuring this song.

[@Sporesmore]

+Clarissa Harings Exactly. And here Dave Grohl is now on my tv when he is not eligible for any awards nor does he need the exposure. The president of the academy was just on stage urging moviemakers to be inclusive, well I urge her to do the same with the nominees.

[@typsom]

+Trevor Gilmore I agree with everything you've said here. They miss a lot of opportunities to offer exceptional work to a mass audience and definitely fail more than they succeed.

[@csjcsj2906]

+Trevor Gilmore Which also means that... "In Memorium" doesn't need any exposure?

[@Sporesmore]

So Jin Choi You're putting words in my mouth that I never said or implied. The time constraint dilemma could have been fixed by having Anohni or Sumi Jo perform during the In Memorium section. That kind of exposure could have been career-changing for both artists who actually deserved to be recognized during the ceremony.

[@ricardogarcia6616]

+Trevor Gilmore Simple Song#3 and Manta Ray were the only good songs from the nominees… They really deserved to be recognized :(

[@AlexanderLaurence]

this is too good for an Oscar

[@X-Flight]

truely yes...

[@samuel3949]

perfect

[@devilatyourdoor7068]

Hmm..I remember this song, whereas I can't remember whatever drivel actually "won.". Enjoy your life, you collection of cells.

[@thetechtron9465]

this is beyond Oscars. It was legendary documentary. I laughed, I cried I sobbed, felt desperation and hope. It had everything from past to present and future...

[@lizbourn4192]

the techtron Antony Hegarty/Anohni has the most amazing voice. So much emotion into everything he/she sings ❤️❤️❤️

[@furbetta7]

Anohni gives voice to all the loliness, sadness, melancholy, and all you can do it's cry. Voice from a far and lost world who believes in a change.

[@VivekDwivediDXTHSM]

Listening it for last 5 years. Every now and then, it makes it's presence felt in my life. Truly magical.

[@Sameoldfitup]

“Nothing can be loved or hated unless it is first understood.” Leonardo da Vinci.

[@cozimnot75]

Fuck the Academy. It would have been the most emotional moment on that stage ever, but clearly they don't deserve a precious gem like this one, a real masterpiece! Thanks to Josh Ralph and to Anohni, you, beautiful soul, unique artist that I deeply love since the beginning

[@p21v09]

Wow, Gianni Chelli. You said it all! A masterpiece. I also love your words for Anohni: beautiful soul, unique artist that I deeply love since the beggining! Hope she comes to Brazil soon!

[@kalexambing2507]

Racing Extinction made me want to drop everything and become a environmental activist.

[@김유진-s4w]

i know right?

[@tompouceful]

Okay, what let you? Just do it.

[@vurtegoflybar4573]

Same. That probably what I will be now when I groww up.

[@leonardotmkopon743]

True

[@TheAjstyle65]

Capitalism and consumerism is why we are probably doomed and already pass that point when we can revert this planet to its former glory, but still i hope itself not the case

[@juanmunoz835]

This beautiful song deserve the Oscar

[@vurtegoflybar4573]

@d d fuck you

[@sv5530]

Yes it does

[@madisondoty4961]

This song resonates with every fiber of my being, echoes my heartbeat and brings me to the verge of tears everytime I hear it. All life on this planet has importance, has meaning. Humans are the only creatures greedy enough to destroy the very thing they need to survive. We could learn a thing or too about compassion and humility from nature. The sad thing is that animals tend to have more humanity than humans.

[@Em3r1c4]

No greater truth has been spoken

[@andyb275]

Yes yes - I see you've watched Charlotte's Web also

[@ericmills100]

And we dare call ourselves Homo SAPIENS (sic), the single most over-populated, invasive, destructive and only SELF-destructive species in known planetary history. Beyond sad.

[@jeannemacaluso162]

The voice of an angel. It’s beauty almost always brings me to tears.

[@OscarScheepstra_Artemis_]

I am so in love with this song. Anohni is amazing.

[@loretosilva7687]

Feel the same....

[@MideanStone]

one of the only songs that can bring me to tears every time i hear it. beautiful.

[@andrearodriguez5103]

Came here because it was nominated for an Oscar. Very Well Deserved!

[@witchisyours4592]

This video and music moved me to the very inner soul of my body!!!

[@mundoinvisivelxd1936]

+Darie Fisher no this music is sad ..I am not a english speaker ,and I find this sad ..Its like the mother earth singing for their children .

[@RF-Ataraxia]

+Ckyntosh Your vocabulary may be too small to know the difference between "heartmoving" and "sad" No offense.

[@witchisyours4592]

+Ckyntosh Yes I agree !00% It made me cry, and feel very very sad for our beautiful earth . I've watched it over and over, and also shared it with my friends. It's heartbreaking !! I'm really not sure why people think I'm happy about it???? I never said it was uplifting music nor did I say it was a happy video to watch. The way I wrote my comment was to say that it struck me from inside in my heart and I felt the sadness. .

[@witchisyours4592]

+Royal Fenikkusu Sorry you don't understand the way I express myself, but no where in my comment did I say that this was happy or uplifting music by any means. I said it touched my inner soul which it did, and it saddens my heart to watch, and I think everyone should see it.

[@RF-Ataraxia]

By "heartmoving" I meant, it makes us think about what we are doing to our planet, and gives us this feeling, that we can make a change. Not just making us feel sad. I think *I* was the one who didn´t express it correctly. Though i never said it was uplifting, but touching.

[@Aarma]

It deserved the Oscar ...

[@GESYSOP]

All of you that love this song, please let's be united, I was invited by Ric O'Barry to go with him, but could not at that time, still J.Ralph get my eyes wet, every time I play this song, be part of us and share this song with everyone you love, is our planet, is our world, and I cry with it, this song brakes my heart.

[@courtneyvilla1886]

this song changed my life

[@ManuelaMoraes]

This is absolutely beautiful. Couldn't skip the ad. The beauty of microscopic life is stunning.

[@videlos]

Me parece una mierda que los organizadores del Oscar no hayan invitado a la grandiosa Anohni a interpretar esta obra maestra....pero que se puede esperar? vende mas la fama de los que si fueron invitados que el arte, que algo que no es comercialmente muy explotable. Esta cancion me hace llorar, es poesia directo para el alma, no tengo palabras para describir esta joya, es simplemente sublime, te desgarra el alma pero con caricias, disfruto de esta melancolia tan profunda que mueve en mi con su voz.

[@saullg272]

Opino lo mismo, una terrible injusticia.

[@wernerjulinhomantillapizar8255]

Me la imagino con su gran atuendo blanco, su mirada taciturna, empero, poderosa, y su gran presencia haciendo retumbar todo el anfiteatro. Dios, qué desperdicio no haber puesto en escena esta obra maestra.

[@oliviapaiva8118]

Verdade o que você falou uma obra linda dessa ,quem tem alma para sentir chora ao ouvir 😢

[@elenef3605]

It makes me really happy to see such a beautiful song bringing attention to environmental issues.

[@sinaawdijan152]

I hope you guys win the Oscar! On top of that, Antony is an outstanding singer. Wonderful!

[@alyssatricomi]

bro that scene in racing extinction with that cute bird that went extinct singing a song and having no other bird to sing with it MADE ME CRY

[@brandaocavalcanti]

I will cry now...very sad

[@adammarckelly]

this music really penetrates me. its so much more than a score and song. it really is like a song given to us from the universe

[@vasilisaltikis3164]

Adam-Marc Kelly z

[@getstarted7168]

Well put. A beautiful song, isn't it?

[@emiliobello2538]

This song and imagery are so calming and I don’t know why

[@newpianotutorials]

Let's hope the Academy actually listen to this amazing song and it wins ahead of the hype of Gaga and Sam Smith ...

[@lezliemiguel7091]

Till it happens to you and writings on the wall are amazing,truly amazing!

[@thewinghoops9477]

The Weeknd should win

[@ivo4532]

fuckin sam smith won.... i hate the Academy

[@vanessalizeth4266]

So disappointed this didn't win 😢

[@wilsonmartinez678]

+Ivo k. yes, I'm so mad, that guy didnt deserve the OSCAR

[@aledarcobrazil]

OMG!!! What a piece of art!! Shivered from head to toe!

beautiful music , beautiful video , i didn't skip at the first time

[@videlos]

This song deserves the Oscar. For real....

[@FJRuizdearcaute]

[@gabrielacuadra7038]

Muchas gracias

[@citallizavaleta7177]

Hay alguna versión subtitulada?

[@1979andreju]

Grazie, greetings from Italy!

[@chikitof1]

The deepest song I’ve ever heard .

[@Tracydot3]

So beautiful! There's no other word for this.

[@honomale]

Absolutely beautiful, meaningful and inspiring. Congrats to J. Ralph and Anohni for the Oscar nomination.

[@creditbrunch]

Cried so hard... So beautiful is the life we are living. So Beautiful is the song.

[@konstantinosprountzopoulos933]

it is the feeling that we are conected with nature, with all the beings.. we are part of past elements and we carry life that existed before.. this song is unique, magical and sad at the same time for me. It's the environmental grief

[@darcilarae]

Watched the DOC tonight and I had to come listen to this again. So beautiful!

[@mariuszskubisz3666]

Darci- me too! I heard beautiful piano music and then had to find it on web. But I was surprised because this song in doc does not have vocal just instruments and here there is vocal which I did not hear in doc...

[@sethmaula]

In the trees Between the leaves All the growing That we did All the loving And separating All the turning To face each other I divide In the sky In the the seams Between the beams All the loving And separating All the turning To face each other Without biodiversity I'm nothing It's like I never Existed Without my home With no reflection I cease to exist And my children Are dying now Inside me All I love All I know All I've known I am dying now Inside me My children

[@lexn8052]

This is now my favorite song on the entire face of the planet.

[@elisabethfurst8082]

It doesn't matter if the movie or this song deserved the Oscar, what matters is, that our Earth is saved, mostly from ourselves. And so at least its nomination did a good job for showing more people the problem, more than it would have did if it was not nominated.

[@felicitybraxx9394]

To wonderful to win an Oscar.......Beautiful beyond words.♥️

[@p21v09]

Amazing voice! Amazing song! Superb interpretation. I still cannot really believe Anohni wasn't invited to perform? It is unbelieveble. Amongst artists, love and inclusion should be a reality, and not discrimination nor bias. Can't really understand.

[@jakubjanicek8878]

I can't explain the beauty of this song in words. Heartbreaking.

[@enquvist]

I can't believe the Oscars have screwed you and Antony over like this, ridiculous!!

[@rene9406]

+Cade Buchanan anohni*

[@anthonnyvaquedano792]

Murk Bernson still oscars sucks

[@anthonnyvaquedano792]

it is not the opinion of the Oscars, it is the phobia, it is not the first time that the Oscars have been denounced for lack of equality

[@anthonnyvaquedano792]

It's funny to see how you like your own comments little piece of shit

[@anthonnyvaquedano792]

Oscars still sucks lmao

[@debbietomasums1204]

Such an important message beautifully delivered by Anohni.

[@medievalknight9519]

The Most Attractive Ad I've ever seen!!! O.o

[@baphomick]

I wish it would never end.

[@arnaldogoncalves7838]

What a beautiful video. I am not specially fond of Antony recent incarnation in his/her new form but this song deserve a plus. It is really beautidul. I still believe that 'I am a bird' and 'The Crying Light' are his/her best achievements as an artist and most talented singer. I don't know what the future reserve to us but Antony is a being of another planet or dimension that doesn't fit in the traditional classification man-woman. He has the elegance not to fit in the sad travesti clownization of music and culture.

[@jonandreson54]

Beautifully stated and one has to admire such iconic talent.

[@EmmanuelOlalere]

Awesome track!. Never skipping this ad

[@aleidaroa1701]

I love her voice.

[@mazilustefanstefan8358]

Superb! O piesă de excepție pentru un documentar de excepție. Acesta merita un Oscar!!!! :((((

[@Katsinum]

OMG it's the first time i'm glad i've seen an advert. Beautiful.

[@alice1995ize]

what's that? I've never felt that way before by hearing a song it's something in my heart I don't understand if it makes me happy or sad and that's why I want it to win the Oscar because I can tell for sure. ..THIS SONG DESERVES IT

[@junabella6743]

this documentary made me want to cry

[@Dreambleed]

Best song i heard in the last 15 years ❤

[@VincenzaFava]

meraviglioso, microcosmo e macrocosmo, il mistero della vita in tutta la sua bellezza, il mistero è la bellezza

This song touch my soul...... Thanks, Anohni !!!!!

This so could've made an emotionally powerful live Oscar performance...especially with that image of all those microorganisms under a microscope

I can't believe the song won't be performe at the Oscars.
