Harpist Is Accompanied By Adorable Woodland Creature In A Dreamy Scene Straight Out Of A Disney Movie BY MATTHEW RUSSELL
My harp session turned into a Disney movie, writes Redditor u/Noomie90.
The musician was preparing for practice when a white-tailed deer approached slowly from behind. With a smile and a song, she continued to play along.
The harpist performed The Sounds of Silence with a uniquely designed portable model.
The deer appears in the background of the meadow.
TIL harps can have slings so you can harp anywhere, commented Redditor u/nerdwaffles.
Its actually an altered guitar strap! replied the musician.
The deer comes very close to the harpist before going back into the woods.
The deer is mesmerized by the music and draws closer as the song progresses. But before the song is up, the deer dashes off back into the woods.
The harpist jumps just as her woodland audience bounds into the thicket.
Theres something so beautiful about them being drawn together by the music only to both be startled by each other., wrote u/greenline_chi.
he harpist was startled by the deer as it jumped into the tall grass.
The deer jumps back into the woods.
I had seen it in the distance, but the sound of it rushing off made me think it was charging at me! the musician wrote.

Most commentors in the thread agreed, u/Noomie90s harp skills are second to none, but what of the deer? What will this ungulate remember from this event?
For the rest of its life, that deer is going to remember that there are beautiful nymphs in the woods who play haunting music, but it will never see another one, wrote u/chickenstalker99. It will listen expectantly, and wonder where the harp girl has gone. In dreams, it will see her again, but awake to find her gone.
Redditor u/deucemagnet offered an alternative take on the video.
Rather than engaging in an arduous chase, the wild Noomie90 entices her prey closer with the melodious sound of Simon and Garfunkel played on a harp, u/deucemagnet wrote, attributing the narration, probably to David Attenborough. Here, she catches the attention of a whitetail doe. The doe is wary, but mesmerized. She cannot help but be drawn ever closer, where she will be clubbed senseless by the heavy instrument. Suddenly, the does instincts overcome the fugue state induced by the siren song. She flees, living to see another day.
Listen to the sweet sounds of u/Noomie90s harp in the video below.
Music hath charms to soothe the savage beast..................
Apples work, too.
Music hath charms to soothe a savage breast, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak.
-William Congreve
I can use a bass clarinet to speak to geese.
Do it at a zoo.
That’s cool.
“...beautiful nymphs in the woods..”
Yeah, I had a “beautiful nymph in the woods” once upon a time, too... I was 19 at the time... :^)
Nuff said...
I hope she slathered herself with tick repellent first...
“Apples work, too.”
I have 2 fawns, and a Doe that hang out in my backyard. I feed them apples that they cant reach from my Apple Tree. I find they also like tomatoes.
When I entertain on the weekends we have the music playing, and hang out on the deck. I have a woodpile about 10 yards away in which the fawn lays, and watches us. Too Funny.
I can soothe her savage breasts without music..................or with...............maybe some Lionel Ritchie in the background...................
I could make a few noises with it. There was a lake on campus with geese. One time I was walking with a girl around that lake, and a goose ran up and bit her right on her butt. Talk about being ‘goosed’! 8~)
