Epitaph for Moonlight

When I first read the title of this video, I didn’t really think of anything. I liked the “Epitaph” word, it sounded like something I’d say in a sentence to confuse people. Yes, I do get a kick out of confusing people, and awkward situations :) .

When I first clicked it on it, I paused it because I was watching something in another tab and then all of a sudden it played itself and I thought it was part of the other video I was watching. Then I kept playing the video and that part wasn’t in it, took me a while to realize it was the moonlight video.

I think this video is really amazing because the visuals and the sounds go hand in hand. It sounds like something you’d hear in a movie, a scary one. It sounds like people’s voices. It sounds like a million things. A million mediocre things put in one sound composition to make something sound so beautiful. It sounds so out of the norm, like the vocals are in your face just slapping you. Not those hard slaps, but the soft ones that just make you smile… if those exist in the real world?

I had a few questions on this video, and I google’d it to see if I could find any answers. My first question was what the heck does epitaph mean? I found out it means the words/phrases on a tombstone or monument in memory of the person buried there. Does that mean the moon is dead? Or does it mean the light of the moon is dead, because it’s daytime and obviously there is no moonlight during the day. I confused myself, but point being I feel as if the title to this video means something. Not just any kind of something, but a significant something.

I wanted to research more on the video, but nothing came up because the person put the video and the sound piece together themselves. But all in together-ness, fall out the weather-ness. <– nothing to do with this. I just had to add that because I don’t know how to finish this post :)
