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.
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.
Thank you for this awesome job. It really makes a difference.

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.
Before Zeus cut them off with his scissors. DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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!
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...
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?
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.
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.
+Anna Tantillo Hello and sorry for the late response. Yes you may use this video for your production, I am very happy to hear this. I'm not sure how to direct message people on TH-cam, but if you do, please PM me and I can provide you with a better quality video of this animation.
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

Kimberly Adkins Life... you’re doing it right.
Kimberly Adkins That's beautiful! I'm glad you two found each other!
I am so happy for you
Can I ask if 10 years on you're still in love?
@@mdstanton1813 I want to know too
This is still one of my most favorite videos on the internet.
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.
THIS VERSION DESERVES A HUG.
Very well done. This is one of the most beautiful songs from a truly original movie and play. Bravo! :D
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.
thanks alot
😭
Wonderful
Perfect
I could watch this every fucking day; it makes me so sad and happy at the same time.
This is so well done! Fantastic job :) And what a great song.
THIS IS SO GOOD. Your drawings are so evocative of the emotions of the song. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for this awesome job.
It really makes a difference.

this is one of the best songs ever... and, you did a great job on the animation.
That was an awesome job. Cudos to you and a great song to do it with. You did Hedwig justice.
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.
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.
This is art, my friend 🖤
I saw this video on a live production of Hedwig! Loved it!
Wonderful animation!
Well done
That was an awesome job.

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

Can I use your video along with my cover please? I really like it. And I will really appreciated that. Thank in advance.
@welz16 me too. This video really explains so much about life. But i think it raised more questions than it answered

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?
Can I use it? :D it's very pretty :D
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.
This is the best version of Origin of Love, where did u get, can PM me?
Hey. I love this! Can I use this in a live production of Hedwig?
What program did you use for the flash animation?
the two other homogenous couples i assume you are referring to are actually addressed.
Since when did whales have legs? Care to riddle me that?
hiphopapotomas before Zeus cut them off, obviously
Some great ideas here - take it further?
what was this made on?!!?
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?
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.

SIGH !!
te olvidas de las otras dos parejas... una pena que no hayas captado el mensaje!
you have forgotten the other two posible and also nice couples (lovers), it's a pity you don't grasp the big message!
how can such a silly bunch of drawings make me so sad...?
great work. but too heterocentric.

This is amazing! Well done. :D
