Isle Of View - a music video poem by duvid

Time to share another beautiful video that was shared with me on Moonlight Chill. This video is a very clever music video poem. The creator has chosen a beautiful and relaxing piece of music and set it to amazing shots of nature and the words of a beautiful poem.

Just as with the previous shared video, this video was sent to me over two years ago, and as with the last one I can't believe that it has so few views. It deserves far more. Please take a look and then have a look around Duvid's channel.

The video that he shared is called Isle Of View:





I would like to thank Duvid for sharing this video with me, and through it his channel. I only wish I had looked earlier as it really is a beautifully calm and relaxing piece of music, as are the others on his excellent YouTube Channel.

Peaceful and Relaxing Harp Music

As promised, I am starting to work my way through videos that have been sent in for me to share, and then sharing the ones that fit in with the Moonlight Chill channel on this blog.

This first video was sent to me over two years ago by the YouTube channel Peaceful Music, and is a beautiful and relaxing piece of music featuring a harp.





Amazingly, this video has still not reached 5000 views after two years, so please take the time to listen and visit the channel, where there are other similar videos to view.

I will continue to share more videos that have been shared with Moonlight Chill over the coming days, so keep coming back to see more wonderful instrumental music.

Sharing Shared Videos

Moonlight Chill was created out of a love of good music and the desire to share the music I love with a wider audience. At no point did I ever expect that audience to be anything more than a handful of people who stumbled across my channel. The fact that thousands of people have now subscribed to the channel, and that the channel now has millions of views, still astonishes me. It is good to share my musical tastes with others - as eclectic as those tastes are.

One of the privileges of having so many subscribers is that when I do produce new videos I have a ready made audience to view those videos and to get the ball rolling by recommending those videos to friends on YouTube, Facebook and Google+. 

Anybody who produces a new YouTube video faces an uphill battle to gain even a handful of views simply due to the number of new videos that they are competing with. One of the methods that some people use to publicise their new videos is to share them with other channels in the hope that they will enjoy the video and then help to spread the word. Moonlight Chill regularly receives requests to share new videos with subscribers but, as someone who notoriously neglects keeping up to date with inbox messages and comments, I have not done anything about these requests to date.

I have decided to start posting some of the shared videos on this blog to provide a helping hand to other video producers. I wont be able to post every video shared with Moonlight Chill, nor would I want to. I will try to strike the right balance between keeping the shared videos within the context of the Moonlight Chill channel, while also including new ideas and content to spread the boundaries of what is offered.

I wont make any promises as to how often I will post shared videos. Moonlight Chill is a labour of love carried out in my (limited) spare time. For the most part it is a selfish indulgence that I use to enjoy listening to music I love rather than spending time creating or posting. However, I will do my best!

Another One Bites The Dust - Video Blocked

Sadly another video has been blocked on YouTube - 'Adagio for Strings - Samuel Barber: Relaxing Grass In the Wind.'

Samuel Barber's piece, performed by the New York Philharmonic, has been blocked by the copyright holders in every country. It is possible that at some point they may make it available again as the video has not removed, simply blocked in every country. As ever, I respect the copyright holder's right to do this, but as the video was not monetized (as none of Moonlight Chill's videos are) it is a shame that they did not choose to simply monetize it themselves as other artists do.

Moonlight Chill always encourages all listeners and viewers to support musical artists by purchasing the original pieces, and by leaving open the possibility of those artists monetizing videos to earn an income from each viewing on Moonlight Chill.

We hope to add more music to our channel soon to replace the two pieces recently removed. Thank you for your continued visits and support.

Two Million Views On YouTube

In recent weeks Moonlight Chill has reached two new milestones thanks to the continued support of everyone who visits the channel, and it is time to say a very big thank you!

The Christmas Peace video now has over two million views on YouTube. Christmas Peace is a collection of instrumental Christmas music set to images of falling snow to help get everyone into the festive mood. With such a tiny fraction of videos on YouTube hitting one million views, I was amazed that Christmas Peace achieved that milestone last year. It is even more remarkable that you have all kept coming back again and again to help the video reach two million views before this year's Christmas season is even in full swing.





Thank you for continuing to listen to Christmas Peace, and I hope that you are able to get many more hours of listening pleasure out of listening to the relaxing Chritmas instrumentals throughout this year's Christmas celebrations.

As well as Christmas Peace reaching 2,000,000 views, Moonlight chill also reached 2,500,000 total channel views recently. Thank you for your continued support of the Moonlight Chill music channel. It is very much appreciated!

Video Removed: Air On The G-String, Bach

Sadly, Moonlight Chill has had its first video removed from YouTube. Air On A G-String, by Johann Sebastian Bach, has been removed due to a copyright claim with regard to the visual content of the video. Technically speaking the video is still on YouTube, but it is now blocked worldwide meaning that nobody can watch it. This may seem like a subtle difference but it is an important one as it means that no strike has been recorded against the YouTube account - for which we are very grateful.

Having videos removed is always a risk when you create compilations of other artist's work, and ultimately it is the copyright holder's right to choose where and when their material appears. Moonlight Chill never monetises its videos, which means that all adverts that appear on the videos go towards providing income for the copyright holders. Moonlight Chill is not (and never will be) a money-making venture. Our sole purpose is to share our love of beautiful music and beautiful imagery.

As the audio content of Air On The G-String was not subject to the same content blocking we will be hoping to re-upload the piece very soon, set to different visual content. As soon as it is uploaded we will update the blog so that you can see the video as soon as it appears on YouTube.

In the meantime, we thank you for your continued interest and support of Moonlight Chill.
