Some stories refuse to fade. They wait patiently, like the moon in the night sky, until the right moment arrives to tell them again — differently, more powerfully, and with greater clarity.
The Love Of The Sun and the Moon (Reimagined) is one of those stories.
This song began its life as part of my album Volume Three (A Promise Kept), where it existed primarily as a poetic and musical expression of longing, devotion, and distance. Over time, however, I felt the story asking for more — not just to be heard, but to be seen. That desire ultimately led to the creation of this official music video and the decision to fully reimagine the song itself.
To do the visuals justice, the music had to evolve.
The reimagined version places the electric guitar at the forefront, supported by stronger percussion and heavier drum beats, giving the song a cinematic intensity it didn’t previously possess. This wasn’t change for the sake of novelty; it was necessity. The story demanded greater emotional weight, more momentum, and a sound that could carry the vastness of the cosmos and the power of divine intervention.
At its core, this song is based on a poem I wrote that draws inspiration from a Japanese legend about the enduring love between the sun and the moon. Despite being separated by time and space, their love remains unwavering. The sun burns with intensity, while the moon glows with quiet serenity. That contrast creates tension, doubt, and longing — particularly for the moon, who sometimes questions whether the sun’s love remains the same.
Yet the sun cherishes her mystery. He loves how she changes, how she glimmers with just enough light, how she remains herself night after night. The moon, in turn, waits — loyal, aware, and cautious, knowing that love so intense can also burn.
Their separation feels eternal until the Divine intervenes, creating the eclipse — a fleeting but sacred moment where the sun and the moon are finally allowed to meet. That moment represents everything this story stands for: that love, when sincere and steadfast, can overcome even the most impossible barriers.
This release also marks the launch of a new 4-Track EP, with The Love Of The Sun and the Moon (Reimagined) serving as its title track. The EP explores the song through multiple lenses, offering both high-energy and immersive experiences:
-
The Love of The Sun and the Moon (Reimagined)
-

-
The Love of The Sun and the Moon (EDM Mix)
-

Each version reveals a different emotional texture, while remaining faithful to the heart of the story.
The official music video brings this legend fully to life through cosmic imagery, symbolism, and motion — transforming poetry and sound into a visual narrative written in light, shadow, and orbit. You can watch the full music video now on YouTube at @ChristopherLouiePoetry.
Ultimately, The Love Of The Sun and the Moon (Reimagined) is a reminder:
If there is will, faith, and sincerity, no love is truly impossible. Sometimes, all it takes is patience — and the courage to believe that even the heavens can move.
