Are There Any Sequels To 'Moving On From You'?

I get why you'd want a PDF—those melodies from 'Howl's Moving Castle' stick with you. I dug into this a lot when I tried to learn the main theme a few years back. There are official, licensed sheet music books for Joe Hisaishi's work (the composer for 'Howl's Moving Castle'), and those are the safest places to get accurate, complete scores. You can buy physical books or legitimate digital copies from major sheet music retailers. What I warn friends about is that lots of PDFs floating around the web are unauthorized scans or fan transcriptions uploaded without permission. Those might be tempting and sometimes sound correct, but downloading them can infringe copyright and they often have mistakes. If cost is the issue, check your local library (some libraries lend sheet music or will get copies through interlibrary loan), look for sample pages publishers post for free, or consider simplified official editions if you only need an easier version. I also found that following a MIDI or tutorial and making a personal transcription in notation software was a great learning exercise for me—time-consuming, but deeply rewarding.

I get sentimental about lists like this, so I’ll be a bit indulgent: the poets and novelists who keep surfacing in my life when I want a line that actually stings with passion are Rumi, Pablo Neruda, Khalil Gibran, and William Shakespeare. Rumi’s collection of translated poems is almost a whole library of longing and spiritual heat; his lines feel like someone leaning close in a crowded room. Neruda’s 'Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair' is practically a manual for aching hearts, every stanza a small, combustible thing. Gibran’s 'The Prophet' slips in philosophical ardor that reads like advice from an older friend, while Shakespeare’s sonnets and play speeches supply that theatrical, heart-on-fire language that still makes me gasp. I also keep returning to Emily Brontë for stormy obsession and to Anaïs Nin for sensual, diary-like confession. If you want a practical tip: pick one author and follow a single collection for a while rather than sampling everything at once. Their voices build on you, and a string of quotes by the same writer tends to feel more like a conversation than a collage.

I get this itch for those slow, steady stories where the protagonist keeps getting up no matter how hard the world pushes back. For me that itch was scratched by longform fanworks that treat setbacks as part of the plot instead of an excuse to reset the clock. Two pieces I always point people toward are 'Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality' — it’s a marathon of problem-solving and stubborn forward motion — and 'The Shoebox Project', which is quieter but so full of people learning to carry on together after trauma. If you want more, hunt for tags like 'redemption', 'post-canon', 'recovery', or 'found family' on Archive of Our Own. Those tags are goldmines for characters who slowly rebuild their lives, whether it’s in superhero worlds, post-apocalypse settings, or just the aftermath of a big battle. I often read these on late-night bus rides; there’s something comforting about a protagonist who refuses to give up while the city blurs past the window.

If you're on a mission to find lines about gods and time that actually make your chest tighten, I have a little treasure map from years of late-night reading and random rabbit holes. Start with primary texts: read 'Meditations' for that quiet, stoic take on time slipping through your fingers; 'Four Quartets' by T.S. Eliot for lyric meditations on time and eternity; and 'The Bhagavad Gita' or 'Tao Te Ching' for ancient reflections on cosmic order that feel almost like conversations with a deity. For modern fiction that nails the dread and wonder of godlike forces and temporal loops, dig into 'Steins;Gate' (visual novel/anime), 'Neon Genesis Evangelion', and 'Fullmetal Alchemist'—they're full of lines people tattoo on themselves. Online, I live on Wikiquote for verified citations, Goodreads for mood-based lists, and the Poetry Foundation when I want the original poem. If you want audio, search for readings on YouTube or Librivox. Pro tip: always pull the quote from the original source or a trusted translation—context transforms a pretty sentence into something devastatingly true. I keep a tiny notebook for favorite lines; it’s surprisingly grounding when time feels chaotic.

There’s something stubbornly alive about books that don’t try to be flawless, and that’s exactly why so many people call this novel perfectly imperfect and moving. I was reading it on a rickety bus ride home, the kind where every pothole feels like an extra page, and the protagonist's clumsy attempts at kindness hit me like small, bright truths. The characters aren’t polished archetypes; they bruise and fumble and say the wrong thing. That messiness feels honest. It’s like having a conversation with someone who’s trying, not performing, and that effort translates into emotion you can’t fake. Technically, the prose does odd, beautiful things—sentences that stumble and then find a surprising cadence, scenes that end on an unfinished note instead of a neat period. Those “imperfections” are deliberate; they mimic how memory and feeling actually work. I found myself thinking about a line days later, not because it was a perfect aphorism, but because it felt earned, messy, lived-in. Also, the novel trusts the reader: it leaves gaps for you to fill, it doesn’t over-explain. That space invites you to be part of the storytelling, and being invited like that can move you more than grand declarations. On a quieter level, the book’s tenderness is small and cumulative—little acts of care, awkward apologies, quiet breakfasts. Those tiny moments build a kind of emotional architecture that’s oddly sturdy. When the novel reaches its softer, aching beats, they land because the author earned them through flaws, not polish. That’s why readers call it perfectly imperfect: because its flaws are human, and its humanity is what ultimately moves us.

I've been obsessed with metalcore for years, and Asking Alexandria's 'Moving On' holds a special place in my playlist. From what I've gathered, there aren't any official covers released by the band themselves, but the fan community has gone wild with it. YouTube is packed with talented musicians putting their spin on it—everything from acoustic renditions to full-blown symphonic metal versions. My personal favorite is this one Ukrainian guitarist who turned it into a haunting fingerstyle piece. What's fascinating is how the song's emotional rawness translates across different styles. The lyrics about heartbreak and self-destruction seem to resonate universally. I've even heard a jazz trio cover it at a tiny underground club in Tokyo last year—completely reimagined with smoky piano chords and a walking bassline. That's the magic of great music; it becomes this living thing that evolves in others' hands.

Man, 'Moving On' by Asking Alexandria hits hard every time I listen to it! That track is pure emotional fire, blending heavy riffs with raw lyrics. While it didn’t snag any major awards like Grammys or Billboard Music Awards, it was a massive fan favorite. The song dropped as part of their 2013 album 'From Death to Destiny,' which did chart well globally. What’s cool is how the band’s shift in sound around that era sparked debates among fans—some missed the old scream-heavy style, while others loved the more melodic direction. Awards or not, 'Moving On' remains a standout track in their discography, especially for those of us who vibed with its introspective energy. Still gets played at my gym sessions when I need a motivational punch!

Man, I love Asking Alexandria! Their lyrics always hit hard. For 'Moving On,' I usually just search on Genius—they've got accurate lyrics with annotations that break down the meaning behind the words. Sometimes, I cross-check with sites like AZLyrics or Lyrics.com too, but Genius feels the most reliable. If you're like me and love diving into the emotional depth of songs, reading the lyrics while listening adds so much more impact. That song in particular has such raw energy, and seeing the words written out helps me appreciate the craftsmanship even more. Definitely worth a deep dive!
