[@Gojirawars03]

Every other version makes the song sound a lot more heartwarming and pretty to ease the listener and remind them of Mothra’s gentle and caring nature. But this original version had a different idea. Human nuclear tests destroyed Infant Island. Those Sacred Springs were the only part of the island left untouched after the nuclear tests. Thus, this original song takes on a much more tragic and solemn atmosphere and tone.

[@mibukdesjarlais534]

And not to mention that the nuclear testings of the Infant Islands reminds me so much of the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima back in 1945. The radiation and effects that it caused towards the people of Japan during the aftermath of that tragedy was indescribable and very terrifying. Since this movie was made in the 60s and dealt with similar themes as far as death and destruction goes the haunting atmosphere of this lullaby hits even harder. So not only is this beautiful song about the Goddess of monsters and all things mortal but it could also possibly commemorate all the innocent souls that were lost during that horrible tragedy in Hiroshima back in 1945. 🦋

[@Algeriawindows69]

That's why i prefer this over the 1992 one

[@Stellamoth]

It gives a mourning vibe, like they're mourning the once beautiful island. While hearing this, it makes me imagine just how beautiful infant island once was.

[@PatricksCrazyPlace]

I just saw the Classic Media DVD release of this film with an audio commentary from Godzilla film historians. They said that composer Akira Ifukube turned down composing the original Mothra film because he didn't feel comfortable writing songs for the twin fairies. And yet he wrote this for Mothra Vs. Godzilla. I think his fears were completely unfounded. This is beautiful.

[@caribman10]

I had the honor of visiting Toho Studios just before they remodeled the recording room where Ifukube-san created his magic. Someone asked "Where exactly did he stand?" During our time in that room, every one of us stood on that spot at least once....

[@Gnevnyj]

caribman10 Somehow, that was beautiful, thanks for sharing the story.

[@treystephens6166]

A supernatural fear⁉️⁉️⁉️

[@DouggieDinosaur]

Sacred Springs is the kind of song that will make you believe in music again.

[@alexrodriguera4096]

according to Wikizilla, the lyrics translate as: Do you understand What goes on there? Is it beautiful there? Just come here Just come here Come and be seated

[@AngeeloRabaya]

Yes that translation is accurate I know because I understand the song Sacred Spring is in Tagalog a language from the Philippines. But some of the words were changed like "Mayroun doan" correction its Meron doon. Also "Marupo" is Maupo.

[@Albert_Lecter03]

Alex Rodriguera OMG they were not kidding the lyrics are Filipino!!! Yay!! I never knew it until I found this here.

[@mkaplan1383]

@@Albert_Lecter03 I had a feeling the indigenous natives of Infant Island has Filipino roots. According to the Godzilla fan map, the island Mothra is from is within proximity of the shores of the Pacific Islands of Malaysia and Philippines. This explains the natives attire is similar to the Philippines when they were indigenous.

[@Alusnovalotus]

One of my funeral songs to be sung for my children.

[@caribman10]

I had the opportunity to visit Toho Studios two years ago...we were able to go into the music studio where he recorded this...someone asked "Where did he stand when he conducted the orchestra?".....every one of us found our way to that spot at least once. It was...hard to describe. Ifukube-san was one of the greatest songwriters of the 20th Century and without a doubt the very best science fiction music source of his era. Perhaps of any era.

[@piecheese1214]

I have to agree, even with my love of John Williams.

[@soundtreks]

Ifukube was every bit as influential and great as John Williams. A master of his craft and marrying music to image.

[@backwashedsasquatch]

thank goodness for early cable, creature double feature, Tojo & Hammer... The Mothra Twins enchanted my youth with their haunting song & their mini-size representation on screen. To my child-mind, it made perfect sense that two, tiny princesses would live in a fancy box somewhere in the mysterious Pacific and sing songs in harmony to giant monsters to pass the time. Akira Ifukube deserved Academy mention for some of his compositions. And the Peanut Twins singing is beautiful.

[@ktatmanaasc]

Easily one of the best tracks

[@ChillDfect]

Makes me cry every single time.

[@ilhamfauzi6410]

The director has already confirmed the main mothra theme will be in the film (probably an instrumental version). Odds are good this will be in it too.

[@RamonRodriguez-hq7vn]

This song is hauntingly beautiful.

[@-mothra26-47]

We miss the Peanut girls :')

[@greywillowgaming2366]

This piece is even more haunting the more you put in your head that Godzilla is an actual threat to the people of Japan and possibly the entirety of the world. All of Japan's most powerful weapons (sans an atomic bomb) are nothing but irritants to Godzilla and it seems they have run out of any means of stopping his country-wide rampage. So their only option left is to call upon Mothra to oppose him and put all their hopes that she can stop him.

[@shaneoliver4362]

Shobijin: thank you for listening us now. Now if you be so kind, "get the f*** off our island!"

[@erindurkin4441]

[@greendecepticon6148]

@@10dev785 it's the other mothra song this one is not confimed

[@caribman10]

Perhaps in the new movie, as happens in the better Star Trek movies, there'll be a quote from the air of this tune, as the ST people do in quoting Alexander Courage's original theme song. Perhaps. I'm so hoping that they don't squat the whole kaiju idea. After all, how exactly is King Kong going to fight Godzilla? One good session from the Ronson and Kong would be a crisped skeleton.....

[@aliegan2109]

AXIIXP WRUUHV I'm scared they won't have the song or include the mothra priestesses at all

[@Laserbeak316]

Well the Legendary Monsterverse is trying to go for a more realistic approach. I know that’s a weird thing to say given how it’s about giant monsters breathing fire at each other, but what I mean is they’re leaning more towards giving Kaiju ancient origins and not being mystical or from another planet (it hasn’t been revealed yet if Legendary’s Ghidorah will be an alien, but we’ll just have to wait and see). While of course those origins were more then appropriate in previous Godzilla movies, that’s just not the angle they’re going with for the Legendary movies. So while Mothra will likely be some giant ancient species of moth, who was probably worshipped by natives as a Goddess, I don’t think they’ll add the twin fairies sadly. Believe me, I’m bummed out too. But given how Legendary is trying to keep things realistic (which again, by making Kaiju ancient species) and keep things from getting out of hand, you can’t blame them for not doing this since that would conflict with what they’re trying to do.

[@snaake9389]

Laserbeak316 I feel like it can still be realistic if the priestesses of the tribe that worships Mothra are at least normal sized twins. Also that the radioactivity of the island doesn’t harm its natives, similar to that aspect of the 1960s film, and that it may affect some lineage of family who have some sort of telepathy. Or to make it even more digestible, maybe just have some sort of explanation that involves Mothra being attracted to or obedient to a specific arrangement of frequencies that just so happens to be the Mothra songs that are scattered throughout her mythos, and that the twin priestesses are the ones who’ve studied and memorized them all their life. I feel like they could head in those directions without it being completely absurd to the average moviegoer while having it be close to the source material.

To this day, no other Godzilla song is as beautiful or as touching as this masterpiece. Thank you Akira Ifukube, you truly were the greatest composer of any Godzilla film.

[@Stellamoth]

This song gives this haunting vibe, as if they're mourning a once beautiful island turned into a desolate wasteland by atomic testing. The little sacred springs, it reminds them of the entire island in its former glory. Every time I hear it, I imagine how much of a paradise Infant Island once was. This is why Mothra is my favorite kaiju (Godzilla's my second). She is one of the first kaiju to have such a close connection to humanity, the first kaiju to be a protector, the first kaiju to carry such emotional moments with her, whether that be through her deaths or through the fairy twins. The fairy twins and Mothra will always be some of my favorite characters in kaiju fiction. And Godzilla is a great character too, who also has plenty of emotional moments, but Mothra will always be my favorite kaiju.
