Unofficial video for "Like the Moon" by Future Islands.
Footage is from the 1981 Russian sci-fi film, "To the Stars by Hard Ways."

This has got to be my favourite unofficial music video to a song.
Adore this film, saw it as a child, still absolutely awesome in 2024
The woman in the Russian sci fi movie is Yelena Metyolkina. For an actor of the time, she had a distinctly alien vibe, and before acting was a model for GUM, the big Soviet department store. Russian sci fi is a rabbit hole worth falling down - the filmmakers had to be careful to avoid running into the buzz saw of censorship, so they were very allegorical and crafty. Often with the low budgets, they had to pare down special effects and crank up storytelling. As a result, some of the films are truly haunting and spectacular. This film (Через тернии к звёздам) is one of those, but check out Letters from a Dead Man and of course Solaris and Stalker from Tarkovsky.
I heard this song and searched for it by using the lyrics. Now, I am curious about the movie. I appreciate your information and thoughts about the Russian sci-fi films. Thank you.
I'm officially obsseded with this bands music. I could listen to it 24 7.Sams voice is breathtaking and the background music is beautiful.
This song and video feels like one of those strange dreams you wake up from that makes you feel indifferent.
indifferent?
@@Maria-up2yv "indifferent?" ?
@@Maria-up2yv indifferent, you know.. not different? If you had a dream where you were the girl, then you might wake up feeling like a drop in the ocean, with nothing special to offer the world. Thats how I interpreted it.
same
Phillip Dennis pretty sure it’s made for people tripping lol
What a unique voice! I really appreciate the emotional investment the singer has put into this song. I feel connected.
Bear Boy yeh i do like that about it he doesn't sound like he's jerking around with this situation.
made my day
Have you seen him dance? It's not only vocale emotional investment.
Makes me think if Dracula formed a modern band or something
He's like this with every song he sings. He just throws his entire body into every lyric. He's a sweaty mess halfway through his concert performances because of the energy he blasts into his song.
future islands is easily becoming one of my top bands.
the way he pumps out "she knows me too well" hits deep, she knew really knew me better than I did and I miss her more than the moon
The way that base guitar moves the song is breathtaking
Приятно видеть родной фильм под такую высококлассную музыку!
Спасибо всем деятелям искусства ! )))

А что за фильм? Я смотрела на космодроме по русский были написаны планеты.

This video combined with the music is one of the best I've seen in my life. Good job.
you're right, this dude definitely got it ❤
I can't hear this without the video!
does anyone know the name of the movie?
@@aSrRx96 damn I've watched it a couple years ago because of this video and now I don't remember anymore what the name was :D

It's a bit naive, but still. I liked it very much when I was little.
For some reason as a kid, I always thought that The Fifth Element might have been inspired by this old film. I know this is probably not true... but...
This makes me cry every time. I feel like her on this planet that we are turning into Mars again.
I feel the same ... and like Your comment a lot !
Never again light : )
Finally a comment that even acknowledges this. I hate people.
Oh don't worry! We're turning Earth into Venus. Mars is much too cold for what our politicians have in mind.
the movie's name is "to the stars by hard way " directed and co-written by Richard Viktorov and Nicolai Viktorov
I struggled so hard to fine ENG subtitles to see it, did not regret it. It's almost on par with Tarkovsky's Solaris.
Also called "Through the Thorns to the Stars" (1981) czcams.com/video/bRKzF1xMluQ/video.html
Thanks I was glad to watch this movie
Thank you
Русские вперед!
Wonderful music video!👍
I watched this sci-fi "Per Aspera Ad Astra"/ "Сквозь Тернии к Звездам" (1981) in my childhood and remember that I was completely mesmerized by these big beautiful intelligent eyes of Neeya (actress Elena Metelkina). They were like dark infinite space itself...
There is something in the film, which makes it still magnetic and "immortal" to me even after 30 years. Highly recommended!
For me this video is so perfect that I consider it as the official for this song.
Thank you so much for doing it, I also watched the movie!
The video is from a movie?
@@amitsingh3396 Are scenes from the Russian movie "to the stars" by hard ways (1981)
@@julianajeronimo6691 Soviet, not Russian.
Every once in a while you find a song that is so perfect and masterful that it really makes you take a step back and just sit in awe. This song is that for me, it comes so damn rarely, but I guess that's what makes that fateful discovery so great. If I got it all the time, it would only serve to cheapen the wonder. It's a full moon out...
I can't stop listening to this song and really feel his voice. Great voice.. awesome band
She looks like the moon
She says, "it's your eyes"
She sees everything
She knows me too well
She looks like the day
She says, "it's the light"
Something in the way, she says, "goodbye"
And she looks like the moon
So close and yet, so far
She says everything
She knows me too well
And I can call you, "friend"
And I can be the world
Silent chatter held
I won't be around
And I can be a friend
But I won't be around
Silent chatter, bound
Just don't push me out
She looks like the moon
She says, "it's your eyes"
She says everything
She knows me too well
And I can call you, "friend"
But I won't be around
Silent chatter, bound
Just don't push me out
We don't have to speak tonight
Just don't say, "goodbye"
Making a home in my body
Letting it grow in my body
Taking these chains from my body
Letting it go from my body
Letting it go from me body
Taking these chains from my body
Is harder than you know
She looks like the moon
She says, "it's your eyes"
She says everything
She knows me too well
And she looks like the day
She says, "it's the light"
Something in the way, she says, "goodbye"
Just don't say goodbye
I can be the world, tonight
This video gives me such a 'watching MTV after midnight in the 90's and discovering a great unknown artist'.
The imagery fitted so seamlessly with the music, I don't know if there's an official video, but if not, this one should be it!
I never expected the scenes from "To The Stars In Hard Ways" made into such an excellent music video! Empathetic! Fantastic! Wow!
Smack of David Bowie !!! I'm 67 and I feel like I'm in highschool. Your generation is kinda keeping so many flames alive. Panic in the disco brought me here. And for me U're Is My Freddie Mercury !!!
Hey just wanted to let you know you are extremely cool
OH GOODNESS! I've never found such an exponential archive of songs! With so much pure EMOTIONS! such pure PASSION!!!! OH MY GOD! PLEASE KEEP DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING! ITS ALL SO GORGEOUS! ITS LIKE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING IVE EVER SEEN!
Over 3 years later and this is still fabulous!
Thank you.
Спасибо!! Это лучшее что я видел связанное с этим фильмом и другой культурой.
Dude, you're so great at choosing the footage and implementing it at the right moment. Sweet work and great taste man.
thanks Danil!
+David Dean Burkhart Really amazing work. Hats off to you.
Wow! Great video footage and great band. Love it
It's a bit like the sadly closed suburbanbatherson videos, nice music, obscure videos matched up with them.
What movie did you take the clips from?
Well, I had a feeling this wasn't the original video to the song and reading comments after that's confirmed. But man, either way it's one of best music video's I've seen in..., well too long!
This song and { Isolation by The Impures ) are some of the only things getting me through the beginning of 2022. Times may be tough but everything going to be okay in the end. I hope everyone is doing well. .....
I love you!
Chills up and down the spine...the combination of music, voice and film is brilliant! Bravo, and greetings from Thessaloniki, Greece!
Mad editing skills and a unique ability to find and edit obscure films!
cheers man!
Yes this is made really really really good. i'm a music videoclip edittor myself and it's gooood
Fuck my butt it's bleeding please hurry 😯😯😯😯
Check out clips of 2001: A Space Odyssey if you digged this!
Gustavo Castillo basic
film title is from Seneka's phrase "Per aspera ad astra" - "Trough the hardships to the stars" Girl's name is Niya. All film scenes of dying from pollution planet Dessa has been shot on the planet Earth. Hope earth will never become like this.
Like in "There Will Come Soft Rains" Ray Bradbury's
You're telling me it wasn't mars???
no this movie was not about mars ) or snickers lol
Imaginable planet called "Dessa"
ElricLa2 OK glad you commented bc I was wondering what this was from. Now I gotta watch this one sometime.

I haven't been able to stop playing this, Fantastic!! Thanks a million
The singer reminds me so much of Bowie. Great editing on the video.
That's the first thing I thought
I thought the same. Imagine David Bowie sing this...
Yup , and a tinge of Geoff Tate
Just thinking this exact same thing right at this moment...
Uh I was listening to this outside, never heard it and it reminds me of Roxxy Music
This song introduced me to the Islands. Will LOVE forever!And ever.
Can't stop playing it in loop! Simply, amazing
David Dean Burkhart je suis votre fan. Superb music
BRILLIANT VIDEO.....BRILLIANT SONG...
Future Islands - Like The Moon
Still Corners - The Trip
Metronomy - Aquarius
The holy trinity of weird spacey tracks
Im looking up those other 2 right now! Btw what d'you think of this one: czcams.com/video/qOCvS-Iect8/video.html
this is just beautiful i have no words.. the visuals and the music itself..now i'm few steps from tears of joy
How have I missed this channel for so long? This guys is a genius. All plans are cancelled until further notice.
Love this song!!! I can listen to over and over again without getting tired!!!!
Это вам не Марвел и не DC
Эт глубокая философия советского кино
Но создавший клип американец что то понял
И вот он шедевр!!!
И куда привела эта философия? Планета в еще большем дерьме, чем раньше. Когда я думаю об океане, о мегатоннах пластика, которые разрывают желудки китам и дельфинам, мне становится почти так же плохо как Нийе.
Who's still listening to this masterpiece in 2023?
Me
With tears of pleasure in my eyes, yes
Absolutely!! Actually never stopped 😊
Moi ❤
I just found it in 2023 last month of. December 3rd

This got that 80s soft rock vibe I LOVE IT
Amo tanto, foi trilha sonora de fundo em momentos unicos meus vividos. Depois de anos continuo aqui morando ou de passagem ate a eternidade 💚
Every time I hear a new song of Future islands (new for me) makes me love their music more and more... they are now one of my top music bands
She looks like the moon
She says “It’s your eyes”
She sees everything
She knows me too well
And she looks like the day
She says “It’s the light”
Something in the way, she says “goodbye”
And she looks like the moon
So close and yet, so far
She says everything
She knows me too well
And I can call you, “friend”
And I can be the world
Silent chatter held
I won’t be around
And I can be a friend
But I won’t be around
Silent chatter, bound
Just don’t push me out
She looks like the moon
She says “It’s your eyes”
She says everything
She knows me too well
And I can call you “friend”
But I won’t be around
Silent chatter, bound
Just don’t push me out
We don’t have to speak tonight
Just don’t say “goodbye”
Making a home in my body
Letting it grow in my body
Taking these chains from my body
Letting it go from my body
Letting it go from my body
Taking these chains from my body
It’s harder than you know
She looks like the moon
She says “It’s your eyes”
She says everything
She knows me too well
And she looks like the day
She says “It’s the light”
Something in the way, she says “goodbye”
Just don’t say goodbye
I can be the world, tonight…
+fingerfish heartbreaking.
she looks like a moon,
she says it's ur eyes
I say it's Uranus

Ребята! Это потрясно!
What a great voice, and wonderful band with so much talent
This video introduced me to the band a couple of years ago and now I'm a huge fan, thanks to whoever made this, the movie scenes fit in so perfect with de song
Wonderful band ... I like Samuel Herring a lot ! what an authentical man. Very rare in those days ...
I love this...every single thing about it I just love.
This song / video strikes such a chord in my heart.
Wonderful video
The timing is perfect.
Good on you man.
Can’t believe it’s taken me so long to watch this video ~ visually stunning especially with the music - such a clever
edit!! Bravo!!!
fantastic video ; you;ve got serious talent !! huge kudos to future islands, i think they are the next roxy music; we will be talking about them for years
Still WATCHING 2020.RESPECT.
Surely it has already been written in some comments, however I repeat that the film used as a video is: Per Aspera Ad Astra (Through the Thorns to the Stars) (USSR 1981) Directed by Richard Viktorov
Not only musicians and producers but guys like burkhart deserve a medal or something really.
Nunca la había escuchado, se convierte más todavía en mi banda favorita .
Crei que era el unico que hablaba español aqui...
ufff si escuharas sus demas canciones
@@maygtk nop
Masterpiece.
I know I stumbled upon this years ago and visiting it again today it’s so nostalgic I love this so much
FI are so underrated its ridiculous... makes us feel lucky, but at the same time i want to see the lads get the success they deserve. Superb band
Instrumentally influenced by David Bowie and an overwhelming cinematographic experience! Lots of great music and cinema references! A job well done! Loved it!
Que bien lo hacen estos señores musicalmente, y la película que aparece en el vídeo ni hablar! Lo máximo!.
Can't believe i'm soo late to the future islands party, saw there performance on Jools holland which I loved and then I came here and now I'm hooked on both songs, what's amazing I can let other songs play in the background but when these songs come on I have to watch the videos lol.
Amazing.
Thank David Dean for share.
Very good stuff. I so wish I was just a little bit as creative as u. The visuals remind me of the feeling I get when I can't remember if I've seen something on television when awaking from a dream, or if i`ve really seen it long ago from my childhood.
this is amazing. absolutely amazing
that feeling when you find a new song you understand with your soul and one that understands you too ahhhh thank you to the shrub whom recommended this band to me this video is perfect. she actually does look like the moon. I am so in love with this moment I could bring myself to tears. July 17 the month I found this song...
Sounds so like 80's dark wave. Love it.
I can watch this over and over!! Wish I knew more Russian to watch the film!
+Buried Muse One thing you can do is learn the Russian alphabet. It's actually pretty easy and gives you a lot more understanding of what's going on.
What movie is it?
Per Aspera Ad Astra, and the USA screen name - Through the Thorns to the Stars (1981)

You can watch by using subtitles
You're such a genius David !

Stunning!
I heard this song for the first time about two years ago, I haven’t heard it in what seems like forever. I forgot the band’s name, the song and the lyrics.. I have been searching for it because I loved it so much and there was just something about it, but the only thing I could really remember was the female, how unique the guy’s voice is and something about a moon.. it’s 4am I’m trying to sleep but I really want to know this song and so I tried sing it in my head (to think of a beat or think of lyrics), what the song was called or the band’s name, I wanted something.. then I thought “what if I try she’s like the moon” that sounds about right... and I see it.. it’s her.. my heart stopped and I felt so happy and relieved.. I still love this song and I can’t believe I actually found it lol I thought I lost it forever, I’m glad I didn’t.
