Origin of Love - Drawings 

This is still one of my most favorite videos on the internet.

I love this...I always knew I had a "split apart" and now I have found him and our love is amazing...we are where we are suppose to be: together..finally.

this is best version ive heard. i don't particularly like the film version, i love this version it has the passion with the right amount of beats and anger.

I could watch this every fucking day; it makes me so sad and happy at the same time.

Thank you for this awesome job. It really makes a difference. Lyrics Here: When the earth was still flat And clouds made of fire And mountains stretched up to the sky Sometimes higher Folks roamed the earth like big rolling kegs They had two sets of arms They had two sets of legs They had two faces peering Out of one giant head So they could watch all around them As they talked; while they read And they never knew nothing of love It was before the origin of love The origin of love And there were three sexes then One that looked like two men Glued up back to back Called the children of the sun And similiar in shape and girth Was the children of the earth They looked like two girls rolled up in one And the children of the moon Were like a fork stuck on a spoon They were part sun, part earth, part daughter, part son The origin of love Now the gods grew quite scared Of our strength and defiance And Thor said "I'm gonna kill them all with my hammer Like I killed the giants" But the Zeus said "No You better let me use my lightning like scissors Like I cut the legs off the whales Dinosaurs into lizards" Then he grabbed up some bolts And he let out a laugh Said "I'll split them right down the middle Gonna cut them right up in half" And the storm clouds gathered above Into great balls of fire And then fire shot down from the sky in bolts Like shining blades of a knife And it ripped right through the flesh Of the children of the sun and the moon And the earth And some Indian god sewed the wound up Into a hole Pulled it 'round to our bellies To remind us the price we pay And Osiris and the gods of the nile Gathered up a big storm To blow a hurricane To scatter us away In a flood of wind and rain And a sea of tidal waves To wash us all away And if we don't behave They'll cut us down again We'll be hopping around on one foot And looking through one eye Last time I saw you We just split in two You was looking at me I was looking at you You had a way so familiar But I could not recognize 'cause you had blood in your face And I had blood in my eyes But I could swear by your expression That the pain down in your soul Was the same as the one down in mine That's the pain That cuts a straight line down through the heart We call it love We wrapped our arms around each other Trying to shove ourselves back together We were making love Making love It was a cold dark evening such a long time ago When by the mighty hand of Jove It was a sad story how we became Lonely two-legged creatures It's the story The origin of love That's the origin of love The origin of love.

This song breaks my heart and makes my soul ache.

I saw this video on a live production of Hedwig! Loved it!

This is art, my friend 🖤

Nice work StickdudeSeven. It's a great representation of the lyrics, subject and the spectrum of emotion.

This shouldn't be so absolutely relevant in 2021. Beautiful.

That was an awesome job.

Wonderful animation! Well done

such a beautiful story

i absolutely

Utterly awesome

This was beautiful.

So that's how you throw lightning bolts. Always wondered that.

@hiphopapotomas they always had until they were cut off, that's why they don't have them anymore ^.^

Can I use your video along with my cover please? I really like it. And I will really appreciated that. Thank in advance.

What program did you use for the flash animation?

Can I use it? :D it's very pretty :D

Hello !! I would like to record this music with my band in Brazil. Do you sell the rights of the drawing?

@stickdudeseven Hi, I'm not sure how else to contact you, but I would love to talk with you about using your animation for my local production.

the two other homogenous couples i assume you are referring to are actually addressed.

Im doing a performance of this song for a showcase, could I use this video if I make sure you're accredited for it's creation?

Since when did whales have legs? Care to riddle me that?

Some great ideas here - take it further?

Aside from the fact this song is about a cross-dresser who believes men were once women and vice versa and how we were all one at one point, i like some of the comments and how they affected the youtube community, Many Christians hate homosexuals and cross-dressers and transgenders but even the bible says we are all one in the eyes of god, this song holds deep meaning and I'm the Atheist

SIGH !!

@hiphopapotomasthis just google it mate. Its pretty common knowledge.

te olvidas de las otras dos parejas... una pena que no hayas captado el mensaje!

Can you email me info@retheater.org. I want to talk to you about using this for a project? Hope to hear from you!

how can such a silly bunch of drawings make me so sad...?

When the earth was still flat, And the clouds made of fire, And mountains stretched up to the sky, Sometimes higher, Folks roamed the earth Like big rolling kegs. They had two sets of arms. They had two sets of legs. They had two faces peering Out of one giant head So they could watch all around them As they talked; while they read. And they never knew nothing of love. It was before the origin of love. The origin of love. And there were three sexes then, One that looked like two men Glued up back to back, Called the children of the sun. And similar in shape and girth Were the children of the earth. They looked like two girls Rolled up in one. And the children of the moon Were like a fork shoved on a spoon. They were part sun, part earth Part daughter, part son. The origin of love Now the gods grew quite scared Of our strength and defiance And Thor said, "I'm gonna kill them all With my hammer, Like I killed the giants." And Zeus said, "No, You better let me Use my lightening, like scissors, Like I cut the legs off the whales And dinosaurs into lizards." Then he grabbed up some bolts And he let out a laugh, Said, "I'll split them right down the middle. Gonna cut them right up in half." And then storm clouds gathered above Into great balls of fire And then fire shot down From the sky in bolts Like shining blades Of a knife. And it ripped Right through the flesh Of the children of the sun And the moon And the earth. And some Indian god Sewed the wound up into a hole, Pulled it round to our belly To remind us of the price we pay. And Osiris and the gods of the Nile Gathered up a big storm To blow a hurricane, To scatter us away, In a flood of wind and rain, And a sea of tidal waves, To wash us all away, And if we don't behave They'll cut us down again And we'll be hopping round on one foot And looking through one eye. Last time I saw you We had just split in two. You were looking at me. I was looking at you. You had a way so familiar, But I could not recognize, Cause you had blood on your face; I had blood in my eyes. But I could swear by your expression That the pain down in your soul Was the same as the one down in mine. That's the pain, Cuts a straight line Down through the heart; We called it love. So we wrapped our arms around each other, Trying to shove ourselves back together. We were making love, Making love. It was a cold dark evening, Such a long time ago, When by the mighty hand of Jove, It was the sad story How we became Lonely two-legged creatures, It's the story of The origin of love. That's the origin of love.

By the way, not to take away from StickdudeSeven, but Hedwig and the Angry Inch is going to Broadway with Neil Patrick Harris as Hedwig.

Very well done. This is one of the most beautiful songs from a truly original movie and play. Bravo! :D

So glad this video's still on youtube

Before Zeus cut them off with his scissors. DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is so well done! Fantastic job :) And what a great song.

this is one of the best songs ever... and, you did a great job on the animation.

THIS IS SO GOOD. Your drawings are so evocative of the emotions of the song. Thank you for sharing.

That was an awesome job. Cudos to you and a great song to do it with. You did Hedwig justice.

This is absolutely brilliant! Would it be possible to use it in a local production of Hedwig? Let me know how we can make it happen. Thanks so much for sharing your creative talent with the world...

Eu assisti com todo meu amor em 2001, e até hoje marca tanto a minha vida e a letra dói no meu coração. 🇧🇷😘👍

great work. but too heterocentric.

I'm doing a big project where I sing this song and I would be forever grateful if I could use these animations for my project with full credit being given to you.

Gods, I Love this song.

Hi! Could I use this for a local production of Hedwig this weekend? I'd be happy to pay you a licensing fee. Please let me know asap as my lined up animator fell through and yours is perfect!

🖤 my fav

Not sure if you're still reading comments, but I just found this and wow. This animation is just as good as the original. You have a lot to be proud of.

Aww, que bonita :)

Beautiful! We are doing a production of Hedwig and I think your animations beautifully show the story behind the words of this song. Would we be able to use your animations in our production?

Hey! I’m directing a production of “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” and would love to use this animation! Do you have a website through which I can contact you?

@welz16 me too. This video really explains so much about life. But i think it raised more questions than it answered

This is Great!! Could I use it in my production of Hedwig??

Hey. I love this! Can I use this in a live production of Hedwig?

Hello! We saw your previous response to the same question -- we are also doing a local production of Hedwig, we would love to use your animation if you would allow us. We will credit you, of course! Please let me know if this will be alright.

you have forgotten the other two posible and also nice couples (lovers), it's a pity you don't grasp the big message!
