Many of these lyrics are actually advices given from Gurdjieff to his daughter, some are word for word, and others are extracted and poeticized: "Be weary of being given a name if for some reason you’re not considered the same Once they name you, they have been known to lock you in." This is prevalent throughout Gurdjieff's work, that you and I are not one, rather we are a multiplicity, an infinite multiplicity of characters one in one moment one in the next, someone at lunch, and another at dinner. Laura is aware of the expectations put on the human, specifically her art, and how much her art has changed from her last album to this one, and of course this track being the single of the record, proves how much she either desires for people to accept what appears to be "HER" transformation, or willingly knows that this transition to another character will meet with some kind of controversy, and that that is fine. This video itself displays many of the sleeping features of man, Noone is walking around, they are all engaged in some kind of an activity, sitting, reading, laying down, cooking, drawing, etc. But when she walks over they move, some more slightly then the others. The distraction of man is incredible, and Laura sees this, but- in this video- she seems to be working off two of Gurdjieff's advices: "Treat every person such as it is your next to kin." and "Stop your self defending behaviours." As you noticed her lovingness to all of the people, was as if they were family. And many of them had an odd reaction to her, like- Go Away!- and yet she did not defend herself, she continued to move and love freely. I find this video very impressive. Specifically for a Modern day artist to have payed homage to Gurdjieff, and pulled it off.
Of course many people will watch this video few will recognize the small things that have been setup to tell a story. Firstly I can count two, after only watching the video twice ( however I'm sure there are more), images of Alejandro Jodorowsky's work. The poster of The Holy Mountain @1:02 The eyes of the cat( Book @ 2:55)... As few know, Jodorowsky had a love affair with Gurdjieff's daughter Reyna D'Assia. I believe it was short lived, but during this time she showed him many mystical things that her father and mother had taught her: Mostly sexual. However I find it hard to remember more of their relationship. Either way it is quite funny how Laura lures us into watching an entertaining high energy clip, but beyond each scene is something extremely mystical, esoteric, or really just Gurdjieffian. He was always a fan of SHOCK, but he made people work for it, it was never just: Oh you want to be my student? Sure why not, lets start. No it was very difficult to get in contact with him, very difficult to schedule meetings with him, very difficult to figure out his writing, enter stage left " Beelzebub tales to his grandson." All of this way highly intentional. As is the case with the content of Laura's video. There are, without a doubt, many more subtle images that one can find. But I've already said too much. The bottom line is, is that many will see this video as cute, and fun, and so forth, but concealed at another level are the profound messages of Gurdjieff himself.
Oh and just to add a bit more credibility, I did'nt notice the girls drawing the Fourth Way Enneagram @1:12. This is just too fun. This symbol was conveyed by Gurdjieff to Ouspensky. It was presented as an ancient secret being released for the first time, the truth behind things like the Philosopher's Stone. Supposedly handed down to Gurdjieff via a Sufi Master. Either way, Laura gives an ample amount of symbols. I do not know what happened to Gurdjieff's daughter, it seems her history ends after Alejandro's account of her, and the fact that she herself had a daughter named Ivanna. I wonder what happened to her.
Cody Snyder Gurdjieff was a crook and a user..Ouspensky finished alone, desperate ans alcoholic...don't give in all this..
How does this have anything to do with my comment? If your pointing me away from information just because of the person whose giving it, then i imagine you would prefer a person to be upstanding in order for you to even want to listen to their information let alone apply it. And that's fine, thats a perfectly sound system of belief. But for me, i recognize the imperfect nature of the human, specifically in regards to the metaphysical and occult aspects. These people are dealing with a different system of ethics and morals, rules, and guidelines. So of course ethically they are going to appear a bit odd, peculiar, or even "bad" etc. Regardless of the cultish, reishi eye'd guru status of ouspensky and gurdjieff, i still find their information to be prolific. Regardless of the person, if the information is solid, and I resonate with it, I see no reason to discard it.
+Cody Snyder excellent commentary !
Thank you for take the time to write this!
+Cody Snyder this is really useful info, thanks a lot!
I love seeing laura this way. So full of life and with so much charisma. And that dress is gorgeous. She is truly a goddess in my book.
I agree with you.. I've been thinking all the year that the dress is fantastic. I was wondering if I was the only one thinking that way.
Hey, I just showed up but I have to say that that is a wondeful dress i have to say
Gurdjieffs' advice to Duska Howard (30/80)1. Fix your attention on yourself, be aware at every moment of what you think, feel, want and do.2. Always finish what you started.3. Do what you are doing as best as possible.4. Do not be chained to anything that in the long run can destroy you.5. Develop your generosity without witnesses.6. Treat every person as a close relative.7. You must order what is disordered.8. Learn to receive and be grateful for each gift.9. Stop defining yourself.10. Do not lie, do not steal, for if you do, you lie and steal from yourself.11. Help your neighbor without making them depend on you.12. Do not wish to be imitated.13. Make plans and see them through.14. Do not take up too much space.15. Do not make unnecessary noises or gestures.16. If you do not have faith, act as if you do.17. Do not be impressed by strong personalities.18. Do not appropriate anything or anyone.19. Distribute equally.20. Do not seduce.21. You must only eat and sleep as much as is necessary.22. Do not discuss your personal problems.23. Do not pass judgments or criticize when you do not know all the facts.24. Do not have useless friendships.25. Do not follow fads.26. Do not sell yourself.27. Respect the contracts you have signed.28. Be punctual.29. Do not envy others’ property or goods.30. Speak only what is necessary.31................
So rare to see her smile like this, so cute
Probably the best song on the new album, or top 3 at least.
PJ One of the best songs of 2015!!
+Palpy each to there own
She looks so different now and I'm not only talking about her look but she seems happier and confident. Comparing this to her first performance on Jools Holland, I can't help but to feel happy for her and she has come along way now.
Marika Hackman and Laura Marling!!! :)
I love Laura and am glad she looks happy.
Run, Laura, run! This is excellent!
Lyrically.. Visually... Totally amazing
i took a quiz on what i should listen to, it said laura marling. 4 minutes and im already fascinated!
She's been my obsession for years. She dated marcus mumford and he was in her backing band for her first two albums. She just released this fifth album and her music is always new and different. She can't be pigeonholed. You've stumbled upon pure music and the best lyrics you could ever hope for.
Check out Noah and the whale she was with them for a little while.
Glad to see Laura smiling. I liked this video!
Maybe she is feeling the world in a different way, or simply felt like doing something new.
Well, I love this song, it's real and sincere like all her songs and THAT is what makes Lura Marling special.
Such an intriguing and thought provoking video. Simple but beautiful. The relationships with the different characters Laura meets in the house is subtle yet somehow clear. Great acting. Wish I could step on to my roof like that.
it's got a dire straits/pretenders feel to it that I love
This is what should be popular nowadays. This is real music!
Damn she's beautiful!
She's my celebrity crush! It sounds like she has a perfect personality in her interviews
Oh loving this! Best song along with Divine and False Hope. And I Feel Your Love. And Worship Me. And Easy. Ok they're all amazing go buy the album!
Hey, Marika Hackman's there too!
Really liking this video. It's so different from her previous videos. I hope we get to see more of this kind of thing. This is definitely one of my favourites off of Short Movie.
Love the spunkiness of this woman.
Rostam!
brilliant single choice, one of my favorite songs on the album. :)
She runs so fast! love her a lot :)
the more often i watch it the more i discover. she's acting out the weirdnesses that i do, and they look at her the way that they do. reflected much! a mixed bag of a video - meaningful and also beautiful, isn't it? For me it might be the most poetic and important music video i have seen, ever, so dear Laura, thanks, you probably know how good it is because you made it. but know that it's being received.
Such a beautiful song! Upbeat, catchy, wise- love it!
Ahh Laura is so radiant it blows me away. I saw her Short Movie tour a few weeks ago and I wept like a baby. Twice.
(Also, not to seem like a massive materialist or anything, but I think it's important for my health that I know where her dress is from, because holy wow is it gorgeous).
I require the same knowledge for the same reasons.
Surprize! I Like the new album, great, superb two songs: False Hope & Gurdjieff's Daughter, love, love and love!!!
there's something sultans of swing / Hurricane - B. Dylan about this ......................... nice
Kieran Dacey Yea I see were youre comining from it has similarguitar sound as sultans.
Nick Thomas slightly similar vocal phrasing too :) love it
Kieran Dacey was thinking exactly the same thing. the delivery is very dylan.x
I didn't like the new tunes at first but its growing on me ... deeper than the first album.
Kieran Dacey Yes, I've thought for a while that there are echoes of His Bobness in the poetry and delivery. Agree with you re Hurricane. Although it was actually Black Diamond Bay that came into my head when I first heard this, though ;)
Amazing Song! Cannot stop listening!
What an awesome voice! Made me want to keep listening. Although, I also feel like I not only burned calories watching this but also may have pulled my hamstring.........
She always leaves me speechless....
So beautiful. ❤
My father worked with John G Bennett, who was Gurdjieff's right-hand man. ❤
Laura gets to do what she wants at this point and like other favorites of mine of past, I'm glad she's pursuing it. Awesome song! Keep changing it up! More new.
Is this the most middle-class video ever? I thought it was a home in Brighton until she went outside and it's obviously the States , my guess is Portland ! Love the song !!!
NoPants I guess this is the house she bought (or rented?) during the time she moved to LA, and where she wrote most of "Short Movie"!
i discovered another great artist
great video and a great song. and she is so beautiful!!!
our singing pixie of the soul
this video is so full of life, I love it!
Having actually watched the video, it is brilliant also.
Laura has a new sound and I love it!
this is the best song of 2015
Still love this brilliant.Hoping to catch her at Somersault in July unless Im on duty as Im a steward ...magic!
I love this performer. Beautiful lyrics, voice and music
In my opinion this is the best album of 2015.
I looooooooove one-take song videos *--------------* And this was simply
Still watching in Lockdown May 2020.
same!
from the biggest SLAYER fan of all, she is the coolest musician since DYLAN! Video is delightful! She's not only smiling but having a blast. And killer inspiration for us youtube video making cats... this is low budget meets super creative, good as it gets!
Did she even know who's house that was?????
I LOVE LAURA
English sarcasm is never understood.
Still listening to this. Anyone else April 2020?
and June
And still June ..... one of my fave LM tracks...
Yes she is awesome!
July 2020 and I still love it
Words cannot describe how surprised I was to see Marika Hackman! Marika Hackman and Laura Marling are some of the best UK indie artists out there!
i love laura so much oh my god. angel.
I AM A FLY...... is the buzzing of my wings not my trumpet like mouthpart and air from my tiny lungs ....?....... Laura I love you
I like Laura and she's got plenty of good tunes, but this one is just on another level man, knocks me out every time.
I think I love her
I need this dresssss
Who weeeeeeps for them sometimes I dooooooooo
Cannot wait to see her in London in September!
Please come to New Zealand Laura! Seriously we love you over here!
George Gurdjieff...Maestro de Maestros !!!
Marco Campos Bonilla no para tanto! saludos
Laura runs faster than me, damn!
I like the song a lot - have listened many times; but I'm so glad to be out of those groups - so competitive, so injunctive, so exclusive.
She changed so much.... I find it so hard to bear. I think I miss "I speak because I can".
Run Laura, Run!
My queen.
3:51 - me running away from every party I ever had..
What a voice!! I've followed laura since devil's spoke and this is different from what she usually does. This song reminds me of a dire strait song. can't remember which.
Well done, laura! Andd what a Beautiful house :-)
The only Dire Straits song I know is Sultans of Swing, but LM's song reminded me of it.
Yes that's it. Thank you RobinHarling.
I am in love.
LOVE this song and video
Love this song and the video
FA-VO-LO-SA. Bellissima.
I admired Gurdjieff ideas when I was a teenager.
What happened?
Love it love it love it
She is so darn cute
I just hope that there was no broken glass on that road.
Lyrics
If they adorn themselves with crystals
To make them look sharp
Sleep with their hand on a pistol,
They’re afraid of the dark
Well if it wakes you,
Which it has to be known to,
Don’t be alarmed
Darkness can’t do you harm
Fear will hurt you
And outside, if wind is beating
A tree to a bed
Don’t fear that it might be meeting
Some untimely end
They do what they’re supposed to
But they have been known to
Stand strong and tall,
Weather it all
Take what you can
Never give orders,
Just to be obeyed
Never consider yourself or others
Without knowing that you’ll change
It may not surprise you,
But pride has been known to
Rise up a storm
Countless lives lost
At the hands of pride
And I’ll fall
Who’ll weep for them?
Sometimes I do.
I do sometimes
Who weeps for them?
Sometimes I do.
I do sometimes
You can’t see it, it might be behind you
Keep those eyes wide
You can’t see it, it might be behind you
Keep those eyes wide
Don’t be impressed
By strong personalities
Sincere words
Are rarely sickly sweet
But if they fool you,
Which they have been known to
Don’t lose your sight,
Know something’s not right
And look at the stars
Be weary of being
Given a name
If for some reason
You’re not considered the same
Once they name you,
They have been known to
Lock you in
Statistical sin
They’d rather ignore
Who’ll weep for them?
Sometimes I do.
I do sometimes
Who weeps for them?
Sometimes I do.
I do sometimes
You can’t see it, it might be behind you
Keep your eyes wide
You can’t see it, it might be behind you
Keep those eyes wide
Keep your eyes on the back of your
Keep your eyes on the back of your
Keep your eyes on the back of your mind
Bravo
This is my fav song off the new album :) and great vid :)
Sehr schön 😍
Love it!
Los consejos de Mr. G adelantados aún a nuestro tiempo resuenan desde el futuro impregnando la cultura pop con un ritmo de sultanes con acústica muy tonificante . . .
Talented and Beautiful inside and out. Great role model for young girls and also other aged humans of both sexes.
That was fucking brilliant.
Perfect Pop
musica linda ;)
THANK YOU _____ for telling this to me.!!!!!
Awesome video ♥
nicely framed ;it's lyrical !
2:00 Marika Hackman 😘
Good!
reminds me of sultans of swing
G.I. Gurdjieff was a remarkable man. I was very much into him and his war on sleep when I was a young man. I read all his books, only to find out he died when his car ran off the road after he fell asleep at the wheel. Oh well, no one is perfect.
he didn't die of a car crash, he died of cancer as a very old man, get it right!
thewidgetqueen wasn't he in a car crash though? I may be thinking about someone else
Yes.
Short Moive is really something even it's just Laura's 'whatever'
beautiful house
aaw I like how it ended just like Hello Saferide's "Arjeplog" =)
aside from that I guess there is nothing in common hahah but whatever
Best vid Ever
Knopfler-esque!
Nice.
Okay, so the first time I saw this I really liked it. However! I did not know she was chilling with Marika Hackman at the time. So realizing that, this vid completely changed my interpretation of the lyrics. She literally weaves a tale..."You can't see it ? It might be behind you" and she turns around and hugs Marika...LOL. I wondered why she seemed so happy lately! Awesome : D
+VideosfromElle Sorry I meant to mention things you are running from, as well. lol
