I watched the movie before and I almost cried because of these 2 reasons: 1: Muru sings the most beautiful song I have ever heard. 2: aleu leaves her dad to lead some wolf pack.
Praise for the high tide Praise for the seaside Praise for the sun at high noon Praise for the lightning Praise for the singing Praise the father sun And sister moon Praise for the red dawn, Grass that we walk upon, Praise for the river's whispered tune. Praise for the wind brother, Praise for the earth mother. Praise the father sun, And sister moon. Hey-ya, hey-ya, hey-ya Hey-ya, hey-ya, hey-ya
I saw this film when I was an adolescent and I’ve never forgotten it in all my years, I’m almost 30. Just revisiting it for the first time in decades, just as touching as I fondly recalled. And yeah the film is extremely mediocre even for a straight to vhs animated film haha
The irony for me is I loved the first Balto movie and never saw the full second movie but when it came on tv once this is the EXACT spot I came in at...really great song just wish there was a version where Muru's opening chants were louder instead of seeming to be ripped right from the movie itself.
After all these years, I still haven't forgotten muru's chant. I still hum it to myself every now and then, with lyrics of deep wisdom. Always there, just out of reach. The truth, barely hidden, but always there. Every part of this song raises my spirit, but for me it's "Mother Moon, and Brother Sun". That's just me, though.
This music is majestic. One second of this opens my eyes. Trees swaying. Stars sparkling and hearts dancing. Natures melody. That is what I picture with this tune!! :)
Praise for the high tide Praise for the seaside Praise for the sun at high noon Praise for the lightning Praise for the singing Praise for Father Sun & Sister Moon. Praise for the breath of dawn Grass that we walk upon Praise for the river's whispered tune Praise for the Wind Brother Praise for the Earth Mother Praise for Father Sun & Sister Moon, Praise for Father Sun & Sister Moon Hey-ya- hey-ya -hey-ya Hey -ya-hey-ya -hey-ya.
I'm glad you feel the same. It takes those of a rare mold to remember: nature is beautiful. We take it for granted every day, but the world around us is thrumming with life. The same force that makes you and I live is the same force that gave birth to a seedling, which became a sapling, and grew up after many years to become a magnificent tree. In this way, humanity and the tree are brothers. We are all one. And out of one we are born. Good luck, I hope you find your answers. I have mine.
Praise for the high tide, Praise for the seaside, Praise for the sun and high noon. Praise for the lightning, Praise for the singing, Praise for the father sun and sister moon. Praise for the red dawn Grass that we walk upon, Praise for the rivers whisper too. Praise for the wind brother, Praise for the earth mother, Praise for the father sun and sister moon. Praise for the father sun and sister moon. Hey ya, hey ya, hey ya...
God......a true masterpiece, huh? I love it. It is as if it speaks to your heart. And, oh, I love her howl. Well any wolf's howl. They're beautiful creatures, like all animals......
little hard to hear the beginning so hear are the lyrics Praise for the high tide Praise for the seaside Praise for the sun at high noon Praise for the lightning Praise for the singing Praise the father sun And sister moon Praise for the red dawn, Grass that we walk upon, Praise for the river's whispered tune. Praise for the wind brother, Praise for the earth mother. Praise the father sun, And sister moon. Hey-ya, hey-ya, hey-ya (Aleu howls) (howling continues) Hey-ya, hey-ya, hey-ya
I agree but I was a little boy when I saw this movie and all I new was that u liked it very much a nod I would lob to see it again and actually watch it but Balto was the best movie in 90s that was right their in the heart and can watch that movie all the time if i could I
Just watched this film about half an hour ago. It brings back few memories and the nostalgia isn't great, but the part I do remember is right after this scene where Alue looks at the spots on the bear. Even now I don't know a great deal of what she means, I can only guess.
this is so deep and old it couldve been sung by pagans centuries ago! im a wiccan and i use this in my devotions, you wouldnt believe the power it raises!
This is a native american praise song to give praise to nature. While I agree with you in the powers it can raise, it bothers me that you would actually say pagans could've sang this. Native Americans have had enough stolen from them. Why not just say its a beautiful and deep song and keep the credit to the native ppl?
I would really like it if someone put the song that played when the moon phases occurred to show time passing in the film. I really liked it for it had a nice symbolic tune to it with the whole story.
Man I wish they had used to original voices for balto and the bears and the goose and all the previous characters from the first one, but after watching it you kinda get used to it. But the first one to me just seemed way better produced as far as audio goes.
Alright just gonna throw my two cents in here. Look at it however you want honestly. Part of it is you have to look at the context of the movie. Muru is meant to be Alue's spirit guide. I see him as a shaman type character but each their own. This also happens to be my favorite song in the movie, I wish there was a full version of it.
@Eagle1Division2 I choose to interpret it more as being thankful for these things which god has given us, as they are part of him for being his creation. I grew up with this movie, and never went to church because of my parents disagreements regarding beliefs. I don't think, therefore, that this movie really endorses pantheistic or polytheistic religions. If it did, I probably would have turned out differently.
Does anyone know the song that is played when they show the moon phases to show the time passing? I really liked that part. So far I haven't found anyone putting that piece of music up anywhere.
@WhitePlumeria23 Ah, another atheist who knows everything and has found a true understanding of the underlying structures of reality and knows the entire universe without question or doubt. Truly, your vast knowledge is amazing. Do you mind if I bask in it? Oh yes, tell me how mankind has uncovered all there is to know, and how truly superior we are to our ancestors, and how foolish their "wisdom" was, because obviously we're much smarter. Tell me how you know all of reality, I want to know.
