When I first heard the original theme for Howls moving castle I imagined a dance at the ball with your loved one, with fancy clothes in a magnificent mansion. But this almost feels like dancing with the corpse of your loved one in an abandoned mansion. With only candle lights to illuminate the setting.. also it feels like this song is moving at a faster pace as if your dancing alone.

[River-btnq]

listened to this while washing the dishes...most passionate dish washing ever experienced

[OwlsSkySailing]

I feel like Howl would play this after a long day of Sophie being out and about as he’s passive aggressively lamenting about how lonely he was all day without her, being the true dramatic king he is

[andrewdorsey]

It's always fun to see just how much a minor key can change how a song feels

[lilac.___]

Howl's Moving Castle ending if Sophie arrived to late to save him and he was not able to turn back to his human form

[Anika_ya]

Is it weird that I still hear a certain joy in it? Like, it feels almost frantic or manic at times, but it still has quite a lot of energy. I am imagining this would have been the score, if Howl had actually been the evil wizard without a heart, the general population makes him out to be.

[Lilyium]

This song captured the darkness that both Calcifer and Howl shares, Calcifer loses his freedom but gains a heart but is bound to serve, Howl becomes heartless (in the emotional sense as well) but gains more freedom.

The eerie part is that you can still hear the original and its happiness and it makes you think just how drastically the mood can be changed

Facts: no matter how dark or depressing you make this song, its always gonna sound beautiful.

THIS IS HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE BAD ENDING

[HausofHoneyy]

Funfact! In the books the witch of the waste plays a more sinister role, she goes around Ingary stealing body parts from male wizards so she can sew them into one whole body and she will make that into the king so she can become the Queen, throughout the book she is actually chasing howl so she can get his head and use it for her corpse-puppet

[seacyren]

It doesn't sound sad, it sounds darkly romantic.

[jessiestolz]

Okay but why isn’t anyone taking about how insane this guy’s piano playing is... HOW

[rainhound]

Writing an essay while listening to this, it's about to be the most elegant text anyone's ever read.

[unicornqueen]

Calcifer: He’s doing it again, SOPHIE

[hachi]

this sounds like you’re slowly becoming the villain in your life and you don’t want to but it’s inevitable

[blizzarddash]

Howls moving castle, except the castle is creepy flying mansion instead.

[whitneywonton]

Sophie:
Calcifer: He did this last time a girl broke up with him

[jerryvee]

Feels like a studio ghibli rendition of Dracula and his romancing sofi.

[tonyemmerson]

This is the song you hear when you pass away. And see a thin man in a suit. You know nothing of him. But in a trance you are pull towards him. You start to waltz together as you see he is a skeleton. As death waltz with you. Showing you flashes of your life. Both happy and sad you forgotten. To know your life as it fades away. Dancing into the nothingness he controls. Given final rest. And peace as he twirls you one last time and let’s go. Returning your soul to the void
