‘Moonflower’ Lyrics
---------------------------------------
Beautiful moonflower
Wandering under the night sky
Your nightdress lit up
A strange and enticing sight
Let's go for a sleepwalk
Together under the night sky
Through the orchard, into my garden
I promise I won't bite
But if I do, does it matter?
If you could lay in my garden forever?
Oh, if you do, does it matter?
If I could lay in your garden forever?
Mystical sleepwalker
Will you destroy my dear heart?
I feel part of it is already
Buried in your courtyard
Let me lay down beside you
Just like our childhood dream
My wild heart bleeds for you
I promise I won't show my teeth
But if I do, does it matter?
If you could lay in my garden forever?
Oh, if you do, does it matter?
If I could lay in your garden forever?
I'll never recover
From a reverie, you appear (oh, I'll be here)
With the ardor of a lover
You whisper in my ear
You are mine, you shall be mine
You and I are one forever
The sound of your dear beating heart
Is like a siren's call
I'll never...
But if I do, does it matter?
If you could lay in my garden forever?
Oh, if you do, does it matter?
If I could lay in your garden forever?
Lay in your garden forever? - Hudba

So many fun memories were made making this. Thank you for having me my dear friends
This is a absolutely beautiful song and video, awesome work!
@@nobodie9996 thank you
Thank you from the bottom of a Thorn's heart! This is perfect, beautiful, gorgeous and so many other superlatives... ❤
This was a wonderful collab. I didnt even know about you or iamthemorning until now. I hope you guys do more collabs in the future.
❤
I think I was right in that this is giving major Carmilla vibes. (I honestly expected Zora to be the vampire, but I think it was cool for her to be the human instead)
Usually Zora is a mythical creature yes
Haha! I did consider it, but felt it had to be the other way for this song. I hope you liked Moonflower! 🤍
I was expecting that too! I was happy to be surprised, though ^^
I love how they even used lines from Carmilla in the lyrics! Blackbriar is the best when making songs about old Gothic novels ❤
So glad of how big you made it. Just sad that I couldn't help your Kickstarter more all those years ago but was glad to see all the names that helped you make it.
Thank you for your kind words, it means a lot! 🤍
I get a "death brings a new beginning" between lovers vibe and it is PERFECT for spring! This is beautiful!
Thank you so much 🤍🤍🤍
It could be part of the twin flame ❤️🔥 romance
For the chills you never fail to deliver, for your commitment into every song, for the genius you have with music, for such a wonderful mix of awesome voices! For the perfectly bewetching lyrics...
It's like my birthday, but best !
Thank you, Blackbriar! 🙏🎶🙏 I love you so much ❤️
You're always making me smile with your sweet messages! Thank you so so so much 🤍
I thought the thumbnail was misleading but I was pleasantly surprised. Blackbriar + sapphic vibes. What more could I ask for 🎉
This is not LONG ENOUGH I NEED MORE I CANT STOP WATCHING IT PLAYING IT I NEED A TEN MINUTE LONG VERSION ASAP ITS SO BEAUTIFUL SO SAPPHIC I NEED MORE
👍👍That must be why I always end up listening to it 3 times in a row each time I want to listen to it once 😅
A Carmilla inspired song? My goodness, this is beautiful! Zora and Marjana voices go so well together. Not only are your songs all as beautiful as the others, but you also always have the best fictional inspirations and the most gorgeous aesthetics 🖤
i love the sapphic imagery in this video
This song is vary Sappic and im here for it
It's giving me Carmilla and Laura vibes. I love it!
And they were roommates. No but seriously, BEAUTIFUL, breathtakingly beautiful!!
This is so very special...! I’m beyond mesmerized! Nostalgia, sadness, astonishment… I can’t remember the last time a song brought such feelings to me.
It’s just so heart-wreckingly beautiful to put to words and movements the dainty way Laura fell in love with Carmilla and willingly gave up life for her… and at the exact same time conveying perfectly the hideous nature of Mircalla, ‘I promise I won’t bite’ = blood-stained mouth at the end…
Thank you! I didn't know before I saw in comments:
"Semkina has been an outspoken critic of the Russian government and the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, and has raised funds for the treatment of Ukrainian children harmed in the war. She took part in the anti-war protests in London in 2022 and was featured in UK media in connection with the protests."
It means a lot to us ❤This is a very important and human act.
Thank you so much for noticing and for your kind words, Nastusya, it truly means a lot
Didn't think Blackbriar could get any gayer after Snow White and Rose Red, but I'm glad to have been proven wrong 😂
Though I didn't expect Marjana to be the vampire, her voice fits a sapphic seductress vampire so much: smooth, inviting, soft, and deadly! Love this song!
Is anyone getting Dracula or Carmilla vibes because I know I did! This song is so good! Blackbriar NEVER ceases to amaze me!😆😆
same ❤
bitey bitey into the eternal damnation 😁
It was inspired by Carmilla!
This is so Carmilla! I love this song and the video, Blackbriar never dissapoints!
YES!! I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING!! AAAAAHH!! I loved it!😆😆😆
Getting major Carmilla vibes and I'm here for it
Legit the first thing I thought of! I'm re-reading it right now, actually!
The singing and the guitars are like the wing calmly blowing above a terrible battle...
Epic...
This perfectly describes the current tour (well, not the terrible part lol, Battle Beast was amazing!)
I LOVE her voice...it's what drew me to this band in the first place and I'm in my 50s.. grew up on hairbands, punk and heavy metal. But this ...yup
Thank you, Edward, that's amazing to hear!! 🤍
The part where they blowed out the candle on beat with the drop sent shivers down my spine.
Oh my god I can't stop watching this! I'm obsessed with your song and your voices, this is the most gothic, dark, romantic and haunting video I've ever seen !
this songs somehow speaks to me. like it calls to something in me long forgotten. it is really beautifull
Oficially obssessed with this song and video 🤎
Hi Bosquedetinta!
Beautiful video and song. Marjana and Zora sound marvelous together.
Thank you so much, Robert 🤍
I was loving the vibe, loving the song, and thinking, "hm, it has Carmilla vibes", and then "You are mine, you shall be mine
You and I are one forever" CASUALLY DROPS and I absolutely lost my mind. Thank you for so much 🛐
Holy fucking wow, how is it that Blackbriar never fails to deliver? This is absolutely gorgeous and well done, thank you for this treasure.
Side note, I have a character in D&D that calls her partner "moon flower" so this song is on point
I love the fact that they used all the meaning of Moonflower in every way.
Symbol of femininity, intuition, mystery and magic, representing romance, reminder of beauty which comes out from the darkness
And I don't know about others, but this MV kinds of reminding me of Mina and Lucy from Dracula.
Zora and Marjana are goddesses! The instrumentation and vocals intertwine sublimely with one another
Thank you so much for your kind words, Julian 🤍
Both of your voices together is like moonlit mist spun into ethereal silk 😍 I love the aesthetic of this, it's so enchanting in every way. I'm in love 🖤✨🌙
Thank you for your beautiful message, Julia 🤍
Still listening to it on repeat, with the ardor of a lover! Blackbriar and Marjana, what have you done? 😅❤❤❤❤❤
Fantastic song Blackbriar. Zora and Marjanas voices are beautiful together. 🥰♥🌹
Thank you so much, Serge 🤍
Blackbriar really just puts every other band to shame with just how beautiful their style of music and cinematography is. The sheer delight i feel watching this is incredible.
Well, I'm glad finding someone to dare saying out loud what I think in private 😂
Real artist!
🤍
I've decided. I'll listen to this on repeat for the rest of my life. ❤❤❤
Finally, someone with some sense on this planet! 😊
Man!!! Such a wonderful experience!! This was like a choir of angelic and sweet voices! I need another duo!!
Wow! Thank you, Jenny! 🤍🤍🤍
OMG! I am ascending!!!!! 😍😍😍 Both the song and video are sublime! Zora and Marjana, your voices are not only perfect together but that chemistry is beyond words! There are no words to describe how happy I am after watching this beautifully sapphic masterpiece!
Thank you so much for your beautiful words, Sharonliv 🤍 It means the world to us!!
Nice fairytale duet! Makes the Netherlands shine again.
2 beautiful girls with beautiful voices😍
It's incredible how so few things can give such a magical look, Zora's voice with Marjana's was like a passionate dance, I loved every part of this story ❤
This was truly amazing just like every Blackbriar song I adored it dearly, the music video was stunning like I always expect of Blackbriar.
Wow! Thank you for your beautiful words, Alex! 🤍
Absolutely magical, exquisite.
Oh, liked the incorporation of the Carmilla lines in the lyrics
This video remind me the novel story of the vampire carmilla
❤❤❤ This is such a beautiful piece again. Beautiful song (music, lyrics, vocals) and Marjana is a great match for this song. I love how the voices of Zora and Marjana combine so well. The videoclip is fantastic.
We're so happy you like it, thank you, it means a lot!!! 🤍🤍🤍
Gives me hardcore Carmilla vibes 🧛🏼♀️
Yeap, totally!
Absolutely! And I love it!
One of the most romantic clips I've seen so far.
seeing them interact gives me goosebumps.
So haunting. Two beautiful voices blended perfectly together.
omg, this brings me back to so many memories of when I first discovered Blackbriar!!! The first song I've ever listened to of this beautiful band was Snow White & Rose Red.
Keep the good work and music, guys!! This was haunting and enchanting 🖤🖤
This was my first song too. I was totally flashed and in love with the perfect combination and the Voice of Zora.
Same.
And this song was shared by my best friend ( who's an asexual lesbian).
Same first Blackbriar experience for me too. Should we create a club ? 😂
I found Snow white and rose red because I searched "Blackbriar" on CZcams 2.5 years ago, and it's the one I picked from the results. And I searched "Blackbriar" on YT thanks to a comment on a Scardust video. (The luckiest comment of my life)
@@PW_Thorn I got the song in my rec. list and it looks good from the thumbnail 😂
This made me cry. It's such a beautiful song, i love this band more and more. Beautifully done. Can't wait to see you in Italy this october. 🥰
Wow, thank you so so much, it means a lot! See you soon! 🤍
Your voices blend SO WELL, what the heck? 🥰
why is this now one of my favorite songs ever? listen 20... listen 30... on and on. it never gets old. so classically beautiful. I hope people listen to this in future music classes or something along those lines. What an absolute masterclass and timeless piece of artistry.
i've found like 4 levels of meaning in this thing. not even thinking about the video. and then you can can mix and match the ideals and lyrics from the video into the music. It gives me so much. Thank you BlackBriar. the best positive tearfuel ever.
@@NarinsNewAge-zz2hfmy personal definition of Blackbriar would be : "why humans have ears".
Нежная и проникновенная песня. Радует классическая трактовка вампирского образа в клипе. Сейчас это редкость, готичненько.)))
Exactly. People have said Blackbriar should do a vampire themed song. They finally did! I envisioned tacky modern vampires. Im so glad they went this route because i this style is very Blackbriar!
🤍🤍🤍
Beyond amazing. This just became one of my favorite songs. I've been a fan of blackbriar for a while now, but this is a new high.
Oh, my!
This is hauntingly, poignantly beautiful.
Others have already said it, but I'm loving the Carmilla vibes! 🖤
Thank you 🤍
oh, i love that last shot with the red strand of hair on Zora's neck
i legit thought it was blood
I've been listening to your music since your first album. You guys make me feel like I'm in a fairy tale.
Песня - просто любовь, летняя ночь и сладкий запах дурмана, тревога и соблазн. Обе рыжие чаровницы в кадре просто прекрасны🖤🖤🖤
I couldn't stop playing this song for like a solid week!
What a PRECIOUS song. A masterpiece, as all you do. Awesome collab as well with such magical voices. 🩵
❤❤wow!!! their voices match perfectly. Carmilla is my favorite gothic book .
I loved the clip❤❤
Very good song and a beautiful video! I love the tension, both in the video as in the song, between the two singers here. Marjana's airy and soft voice is like a siren call to darkness.
Romantic, haunting and stunning ✨💜👏🏻
I really hope that you do another duet with Marjana in the near future. This song is hauntingly beautiful and addicting!! Great work!!
So beautiful and great! Love it so. Once again Blackbriaar has a top hit from the start.❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍🤚
Thank you so much 🤍
Know that here in Brazil you're seen as an amazing artist, as we usually say, "quebra tudo amiga, voce arrasa"
Simm
É tão bom encontrar outros fãs brasileiros dessa banda incrível ❤
Yet another hauntingly beautiful song.
Thank you 🤍
Iam obsessed by Blackbriar's music omg...
That's amazing to hear 🤍
I love all these videos by blackbriar. Dark and haunting with mystery and beautiful stagecoaches, graves…love love love…
Absolutely beautifully dark. I love your music so much
Simply breathtaking! The story, the music, the voices - so amazingly beautiful my heart aches. Reminds me of the Carmilla story.
That was actually the inspiration of the song :)
Beautiful team-up of vocalists!!

Beautiful moonflower

Oh, if you do, does it matter?

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This song sounds so heavenly💜💜😭 it's literally perfection to my ears
Thank you so much 🤍
This music video is giving me Carmilla vibes 🦇👩❤💋👩🖤
Ah yes, the classic lesbian vampire. Glad to know I wasn't the only one getting that vibe
Truly, you never ever disappoints me regarding the hauntingly beauty of your songs and videos! Loved the mix between Zora's and Marjana's voices!! So mesmerizing guys!! In love❤
Thank you 🤍
Their voices! So beautiful!
The music gave me goosebumps.❤
Thanks for all your great music.
Oh my god!!! You two are the perfect duo!!! I LOVE this video!!!!!
So glad Spotify brought me to this song, and everyone involved ❤
It's an enchanting pleasure to come home from work and see that you've released a new song, and with an artist with an incredible voice! Your presence and your voices fascinated me, and I still love your songs! Thank you for this wonderful song ❤
Thank you so much for that beautiful video, you're so talented! Your voices match perfectly I'm bewitched
this song is amazing i have it on repeat 😊
We're so happy to hear that!!! Thank you 🤍
Мне так нравится влюбляться в ваши песни сильнее и сильнее с каждым следующим прослушиванием. Порой простая симпатия превращается в самую большую любовь, и это потрясающе ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
❤your voices sound like singing angels❤
A truly excellent slow-build Gothic Symphonic Metal song that does everything right. The outstanding feature is how well structured it is - the music portraying a seduction, from enticement, building passion and finally - the bite. The melody is beautiful, and the well-chosen hookline is instantly memorable and will entrench itself firmly in your mind. The production is perfect. And though I'm never here for the video, that was excellent too. Who can resist a lesbian vampire story?
My Score: Excellent 5*
Thanks for noticing. Each Blackbriar note always exists for serving the meaning of the song. That's a big part of why they are so unique and I ❤❤❤ it so much!
Not only is the song perfect, the video is too! ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Thank you so much, Christoph! 🤍
I like carmilla and loved the song so much and such a great video as always
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!
Wow you guys have outdone yourself 🥺 Immediately I’m obsessed with this song
That was super beatiful! Awaiting for new album!
Thank you so much, Sergey 🤍
This is the most beautiful song I've ever heard. I'm obsessed. Thank you blackbriar and marjana semkina! Love you! ❤
This song and the MV reminds me so much of Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu 🖤 Couldn't love it more!
I was gonna make the same commentttt :)
it's actually inspired by Carmilla according to the band!
Beautiful! This song and video is mesmerizing, haunting, enchanting, and relaxing all at once.
Thank you so much 🤍
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL
I was 15 when I first watched Until Eternity and started following this band. I even stitched the band name onto my back pack. I'm grateful for every song release and I think I will pick up Camilla from the book store.
Concert was awesome!!
Too bad no MOONFLOWER song 🎵
Hugs everyone❤❤❤❤
This is so... no words! Very beautiful!
