'I finally found something I want to protect, it's you Sophie.' ~Howl

This song just makes me want to jump into the picture and stay there forever ..

"There you are sweetheart, I've been looking for you everywhere" ~Howl

To be honest ‘’Howl’s Moving Castle’’ Is the best ghibli movie I’ve ever seen. To my opinion..

I once saw with my own eyes an image like this, it was Summer time, I was visiting Turin, Italy for work. One weekend I took a train up to the mountains in Bardonecchia. I swear it was the most beautiful sight I had ever laid eyes on.

I found the blessed part of the internet here. A little spot to hide from all the negativity. A place where i restore my faith in humanity. Thank you. I come here when im sad and remember all things shall pass like the clouds in a thunderstorm.

he gave her the promise of the world he who ate a falling star he was now hers...

Joe hisaishi is a genius. how can a human make magical sounds like this.

You can really tell that the pianist put a lot of feeling in this.

“You could easily set up a flower shop! I know you’d be good at it!” “I feel like you’re going to leave ...” - I think Howl had full intentions of setting up her life to the fullest, and dying in the war, until she saved him from Himself

Does the background seem like it's moving and alive to anyone else?

Life is short, Don't waste it being sad. Be who you are, be happy, be free, be whatever you want to be:)

When I feel the world is very cruel, and I listen to this song at the same time I want to cry even though I am a man. This song strengthens me, This song seems to say that even though no one cares about me, God still loves and cares about me. This song really helps when I'm feeling pressured and depressed. I'm very grateful to the people who wrote this song, I love you so much. And I hope we all stay happy :)

Did you use your magic to make this? . Only a little, just to help the flowers grow.

2:09 at this part of the music it makes me cry every time. It feels like im being comforted, being told that its okay and the world is a cruel place. Its okay that im in pain sometimes or feel lost.

I'm suffering from mental illness . Sometimes I'm okay, sometimes not. I pray that me and all the people like me will be okay soon.

As I lay there, in the soft grass, I can feel the cool summer breeze as it ruffles my hair. The wind caring the sweet scent of lavender and honeysuckle into the air. And there I lay, in the soft lush grass, smiling, thinking about her. And the many adventures we had...

Lyrics: Translation: Namida no oku ni yuragu hohoemi wa | Beyond these tears, my flickering smile Toki no hajime kara no sekai no yakusoku | Hold the promise of love from the beginning of time Ima wa hitori demo futari no kinou kara | Even though I'm alone now with our yesterdays Kyou wa umare kirameku | This day is born aglow Hajimete atta hi no you ni | Like the first time we spoke Omoide no uchi ni anata wa inai | Somehow I lost you among all my memories Soyokaze to natte hoho ni furetekuru | You brush past my face softly as the breeze Komorebi no gogo no wakare no ato mo | Though we slipped apart like sunlight through the leaves Kesshite owaranai sekai no yakusoku | The promise of love will live on eternally Ima wa hitori demo ashita wa kagirinai | Even though I'm alone now my tomorrows are boundless Anata ga oshietekureta | Like the kindness you showed me Yoru ni hisomu yasashisa | Hidden in the night Omoide no uchi ni anata wa inai | Somehow I lost you among all my memories Seseragi no uta ni kono sora no iro ni | In a brook's gentle song, in the depth of the sky Hana no kaori ni itsumademo ikite | In the scent of a flower, you will live on eternally

I remember hearing this song in the movie, sitting on my bunk bed eating popcorn while the rain poured down outside. Such bright colors in a grey world is a beautiful contrast. And the song is so much like this contrast, so sad and happy at the same time. Complete bittersweet for my soul I was 11 and now I’m 18

My heart aches every time I hear this soundtrack. But it also makes me feel contented and happy at the same time . This film is just too beautiful and breathtaking that it breaks your heart..

This movie is truly magical, some people are not able to appreciate the wonder this film instills. The characters, the setting, the GORGEOUS soundtrack, to me, easily one of the best soundtracks ever made. When you listen to a track from the film, you almost get transported to another realm, that rings true for this song especially, I always get so emotional listening to this one!

Theres something about this song that makes me happy, depressed, sad, frustrated, and nostalgic at the same time, especially when I listen to it at night. If I have kids in the future, I want to show them Ghibli movies just like my parents did with me, starting with this one, that way we can share these emotions

If this is not played in heaven I’m not dying.

These movies got me through the darkest months of my life. They made me feel calm and that there is so much to life. Thank you studio ghibli. P. S I want to frame all these moments around my house like they are forever framed in my mind 😍

the prettiest scene in the movie. I want to be therrrrre

I wish our world was that beautiful.

I am listening to this because I spoke with an ex-girlfriend again and we became good friends, we apologize and she is currently in college and has met people and boys. So I made the decision to let her go because she did the same, I would not like to meddle in something that is not mine. And I hope it goes well and with this beautiful song I know that the world will give me another chance to be happy

This song feels like the end credits to long, fulfilling life. The last hurrah before we move on to another plane of existence. Though our life was full of struggle and hardship, it was equally filled with Joy and Love. Even if there are some things we regret, some things we wish we could take back, we're still content with how it all turned out. Therefore we smile in the face of death, accept it with open arms as we pass on. Because what can we really do in the end?

The song of the past and the future. It feels nostalagic yet so hopeful. It makes you cry and smile at the same time. Its like how grateful we are that we able to get through the past and how ready we are to face the future with a smile.

_one little flower can do so much in someone's life especially life long memories that reminded you of your beautiful past where you didn't need to worry about anything except for growing up and not being able to do the same things as you used to. seeing the sky reminding you of how much fun you had and all the people you miss now. those people still think of you and remember you through those memories. ✧_ _flowers die, but memories don't ✧༄_

i play this song when its late at night or super early in the morning and i'm doing assignments. it helped make my last three years in high school easier. i'm playing it now again as i do an assignment due tomorrow. shoutout to everyone going through something difficult, i hope this song brings you some peace. you deserve to feel happy. take care

We can all agree that we yearn in that place just sitting while listening to this music forever and we're contented.

This music make me cry

Makes you wanna leave this place and go somewhere far far away .. Everyday waking up to nature of beauty is just blessing ..

Who still listens to this theme in 2020?? 😍😍

Reminds me of my childhood days Where i watch that movie every time..

I wish I could drift away from this world while lying in that field, watching those clouds overhead, with the scent of those flowers engulfing me... as I close my eyes and dream forever.

I just wanna say thank you so much to Ghibli, they make really good songs and anime. And, my childhood is Ghibli. I remember watching Howl's Moving Castle at my tv after school, and it was memorable. I just wanna go back to my past life.

Am I the only one getting flashbacks of my childhood days in sepia tone (for some reason) ? I can't help but recall when I hear this. The times when kindergarten ended early and I get to hang out with my friends while eating sandwiches and juice boxes, talking about cartoons and whatnot. Or the times after school when our car broke down that little me had to walk a few blocks home with my mom at noon, passing by the green fields, the warm breeze gently blowing through the peaceful scenery. Or when my brother and I played around the neighborhood or sat down to watch these kiddy shows dubbed in our own dialect. They were so weird yet that's what made them memorable. They were honestly such simple days and yet I love them more everytime I think about them.

I'm making a promise to myself that if I get married someday, this song will be our first dance. My heart is just both happy and emotional rn T-T

Hold me close like the dream I've dreamed Where we once lived by the sea Where the wind softly once caressed A dream that I can't forget The wind now blowing behind me so goes the promise that you gave The waves are rolling in the sea Now my loves gone to the graves Hold me close like the dream I've dreamed Where we once danced by the sea Where the wind softly brushed my dress A dream that I can't forget

I remember back in high school, me and my best friend was walking home from school through this beautiful park and she introduced me to this song. The first time I heard this I nearly cried. The park, the sunlight, me and my best friend sharing an earphone to listen to this song :") good times

This song tells me that how miserable, destroyed life is, everything will be okay

Well since I was a little child and I was watching that....I felt everything like every feeling the characters had except the falling in love part....I remember learning every line and every night I played theatre to my parents😅😅😅but now that I'm in love and I'm in a relationship....it feels a lot different....cause I understand how howl and Sophie feel. Me and my fiancé watched that the previous week and I was crying in his hug with Marry go round of life while howl and Sophie were walking in the air saying I want to get married to this song😅😅and a minute ago he stood up and said "let's dance" I mean.... we're dancing with this song on our wedding next month😭💞

Is it just me or do the clouds appear to be moving?

So many scenes from this movie reminded me of my home, and I forget at times how lucky I am, to live in as beautiful a place as I do.

Oh .. Some tears on my face :') Seriously , a lot of thanks for this beautiful song ❤

The lightness of this just gives me such a profound lovely feeling in my heart.. it reawakened me to the human experience.

That huge flower field is really what i imagine heaven is like. Along with this music ❤️

Namida no oku ni yuragu hohoemi wa Toki no hajime kara no sekai no yakusoku Ima wa hitori de mo futari no kinou kara Kyou wa umare kirameku Hajimete atta hi no you ni Omoide no uchi ni anata wa inai Soyokaze to natte hoho ni furete kuru Komorebi no gogo no wakare no ato mo Kesshite owaranai sekai no yakusoku Ima wa hitori de mo ashita wa kagirinai Anata ga oshiete kureta Yoru ni hisomu yasashisa Omoide no uchi ni anata wa inai Seseragi no uta ni kono sora no iro ni Hana no kaori ni itsu made mo ikite

Again, with tears in my eyes, a beautiful piece of music and the film is inspiring

first heard this song so moved...it was like sleeping into the song in a most peaceful manner...happy but couldn't stop crying inside...ever since then, i come to listen to this music trying to say to myself " you are ok. everything will be fine. never give up."

It always makes me happy to see how much others like myself adore studio ghibli and the incredible arrangements composed by Joe Hishashi. Howls moving castle is profoundly beautiful. An unquestionable masterpiece.

I listen to this EVERY SINGLE NIGHT as i am about to sleep but out of nowhere: RM of BTS played this on the piano and i cried buckets why is that?

Challenge: Write a poem or anything that can express what you are feeling right now while listening to the music. There's only 1: You can only write when the music starts and stop writing . This is just for fun and feels, and maybe, it can help you express what you want in a form of writing. There's no winner or loser. Just try it.

Guys I’m crying rn 😭😭😭 I finally finished this!!! Granted it’s not full speed , more like 75% but I’m getting there! It took me 4 months! I started learning piano with a teacher 6 months ago but had 4 years of self taught learning to back me up, I love this rendition so much , dare I say more than Kyle landry’s

2:08 when the song goes quiet and the moving castle theme swells it makes me feel nostaglia, heartbreak and happiness all in one

This makes me cry of emotion, my baby always dances in my belly when I listen to this 💜

WOW! I love it...there's a place for us together, a place filled with beauty and love, a place just like us, beautiful loving beings...I love you Bastien🥰😍😘❤💕💓💞💗

The background's so pretty!! For some reason it just makes me happy :3

when I hear this it brings me to an open field with flowers and green grass its night and there is a big stary sky and my best friend is right next to and we are talking about all the fun things in life just like we used to when we were younger and I don't wanna leave I wish my life was just like this song I would love to spend forever running in these fields with my friend not growing older or younger.

This song makes me just want to sit and close my eyes for eternity. I feel so safe and sad. You know, when you're old, you feel so relaxed just looking at the sea breeze.

I’m so in love with every studio ghibli movie and their soundtracks and some of the pieces from this film in particular stay with me everyday and I’m SO determined to learn them all on piano :,)) starting with this then one summers day from spirited away

i love this story, howl was a dream guy that will never existed and I'm so sad for that :(

If you're reading this, I hope your life will be blessed and you will spend the best days of your life soon! Keep going, you're an amazing and unique human being, you have the capability to create happiness, spread love and produce art. Don't let the challenges this life presents drain you, remember that you're worth it. Good day/night♡♡

2:26 Listen carefully, and you'll hear a chord that's the exact same as one in Umi no Mieru Machi, from Kiki's Delivery Service. :P

Makes me think of the amazing husband I'll never have 😂😭

Thank you so much for sharing this!!!! It feels so nostalgic and makes me want to cry T_T I want this to play at my wedding and every important event of my life :D

You can find places like this if you go hiking in the mountains. I always used to go mountain hiking with my dad as a kid. I miss those days and I hope one day I make enough money through my art and animation to get a car and visit the mountains again. This song reminds me of my childhood and the beautiful places we used to visit. x

Listening to this song without lyrics reminds me of the future screen when my parents pass away. The music with lyrics make me want to cry even more.

Most beautiful song in piano ever. So promising and fulfilling. Especially 2:10

I don't care what the critics say Howl's Moving Castle is my favorite Ghibli film ❤️

I come here after I listened "In the house, in a heartbeat". Now I'm in peace. The world is so beautiful

この景色に見惚れ続けて虜のまま

had listened to this song since long ago but i didnt watched the movie till today..im too late .. it was breathtaking.. those scenerys , its beyond amazing.. the sea , the garden , the town everything .. a production from 15years ago.. impressive and definitely unbeatable

This song makes me daydreaming about dancing with my nonexistent wife. I don't even have a gf.

music is something incredible it makes me forget the sorrow and be comforted

So beautiful, right now I'm studying and practising this at 2018.

Everytime i play it, i love how the music is very warm and nostalgic to listen at

It's got a happy yet sad tune to it. I don't know what to feel about this 😵 Doesn't matter though, I love it still💗

Missing my childhood where I worry less about responsibilities and stuff, where I play games and spend most of my time with my friends and family. I wish life was beautiful as this music. This is very peaceful and gentle.

Its sooooo awesome. I don't know what i've ever done if music of studio ghibli wasn't There.....

Howls Moving Castle is irreplaceable ❣️

Today i was fortunate enough to watch Howl's moving Castle for the first time. It was an amazing experience. made me smile and warmed my heart up.

that scene is so breathtaking 😊

When I listening to this song, I just feel enough. Nothing less, nothing more. I feel a peace of an oldman that ready to face death and I don't scare of it. I just happy and grateful for everything I had, those people that I met, and those place I have visited. I just feel enough.

I like to slow it to 75%, I feel way more emotion by doing that

Wow this brought me to tears

This song feels like peeling off my old set of scales so I can be new and whole and ready to grow again, it's scary until I hear the next comforting note

This song is really really good it makes me feel like I'm in that place so beautiful and I'm being emotional of hearing this kind song there's a deep meaning of it there's a happiness and sorrow or sadness

Make me remember when I still in junior high school and watch this on Disney channel soo much memory when hear this again

음악의 규칙성은 마음이 공통된 실을 따르고 안전하게 긴장을 푸는 데 도움이 되기 때문에 마법과도 같습니다. 좋아요

Hearing this song always makes me want to burst into tears😭❤️

The level of simplicity of this cover is just amazing. It feels so warm.

I want this played at my wedding

I cried while listening it's too beautiful and melancholy

Man stop killing me...😭😭😍😍😍love this!!!

i could've swore the picture was moving with the music.
