- Live at the Academy, Dublin, July 18 2013. I decided to leave the intro in as it gives the song a proper build up. The lyrics are plaintive and you can see by her emotion that it affected Amanda deeply.
I am a grown man in a puddle of tears at the moment. I really needed this
As a grown man, I'm envious of her shoulders. I'm half kidding, of course. She has incredible artistic ability and presence. But those shoulders, though.
I'm so glad that she chooses to fight her depression to make this beautiful and powerful music. She's my hero.
I saw her perform this in London, and it was the most surreal experience of my life. I felt like it was just me and her, the fact that I was in a room full of strangers just melted away. I had no concept of time, i couldn't take my crying eyes off of her. I've never been so deeply changed my a peice of art.
I deeply regret not giving her a standing ovation. but I couldn't stand at all.
Flamingo Williams how lucky are you!!??!!!?!! How Amazing Was That Experience...???!!!?? I think a live concert with this woman would do that for me also..!! Love her she has made me feel better about myself..!! ❤️
You can just tell that she's reliving everything while performing this. So incredible.
This is the first live music thing I've ever seen where the audience follows audience etiquette. Round of applause for them.
The mood in Amanda Palmer crowds is amazing, everyone should experience it at least once. It is so full of love and safety, I'd desribe it as being hugged by a thousand of your best friends.
Did she crowd surf? I remember almost fainting as she floated straight towards me and then over my head and it was my turn to touch her. The way she glides, it was so obvious that every single hand and every finger took thier patient time to be as gentle as possible. I too was mesmerized and forever changed!
Thank you for sharing. I've been reconnecting with Amanda's music, and it hits different a few years later.
Amanda, thank you so much for your contribution to the world. You are incredible.
I was driving and got absolutely taken by the song that it brought me to tears. I can completely relate to this in every way.
You're heartbreakingly beautiful. Inside and-or outside. It's your soul that shines like this incredible light, impossible to overlook
Tears are running down my cheeks. You are an incredible being with an incredible heart and incredible talent.
Brilliant as always. I fucking love you Amanda Palmer.
So much respect for her. Thank you for uploading this. xxx
You're welcome.
I wish this song had been around when I was in a hole for days, weeks and months on end. I hope someone hears this and knows they matter. What a great performance.
thanks again for makin me cry amanda
She's wearing a Klaus Nomi cameo corset.
I love it!!!!!
thanks

No problem.
Beautiful
This is the love more feeds our needs.
It's so hard listening to this song. Not just lyrically, but musically. It's so heavy, I feel big pressure in the voice repeating melodies and the ukulele ringing like this constant buzz sound... just like depression. Depression is not supposed to be easy, so neither is this song. I'm grateful that Amanda gives us exactly who she is, without hiding. That's freaking brave. It takes courage to feel the heaviness and not run away from it.
Beautiful!
Oh sweet jesus it broke me
I'm in awe.
You are not alone.
God I love her , everything she does is amazing !
Thank you for uploading this. Promise.
I first heard this song when I got out of my coma, and I just re-fell in love with her.
Love her.
DANG
I'm so sorry for what you've been through, but isn't your point the exact same one she's making in the song. That yes she does feel that there are other much bigger problems than hers that she feels useless in comparison. That someone out there connects with her so much that they write into her website to tell her this awful thing that has happened to them. Knowing Amanda Palmer, she would be there for you anyway you needed and wanted. She's so used to people determined to criticize her music
This chick isn't messing around
It's annoying that people talk through what she's saying, because what she's saying matters. Good for her telling them to be quiet! I ended up sobbing ridiculously through much of the song. It didn't help that she was clearly holding the tears inside as best she could. Makes you want to give her a hug
The amount of pain you go through is completely different from the person who might have gone through the same thing. Some things that bother you may not bother me, it's not fair to sit and poke at Amanda for dealing with her pain in her art form. She wasn't "comparing" her issues to the young boy, she was being very honest in this song. You're not entitled to be crude just because you've been hurt, everyone has. There's no measurement for that. It's not a contest.
22darian : Agreed! And I want to add how important it is that we all learn NOT to play “oppression olympics” and/or “pain olympics” (which we’ve all been taught) b/c it’s one of the strategies (imho as an intersectional feminist) used to keep all of us from coming together in coalition to end ALL forms of violence and ALL interlocking systems and ideologies of power privilege and oppression.
We CAN do this and I also believe we CAN create a more just world for every being on Earth and Earth itself if we UNlearn this kind of stuff and instead come together w/ love, compassion, kindness and solidarity.
Much love and solidarity, Jesse 🙏🦋🧚♀️☮️
I love her!
This song is great... and depressing.
Every time I hear "Bigger on the Inside", I think of the T.A.R.D.I.S, though... and remember that Neil Gaiman wrote an episode of Doctor Who in which a character says humans are so much bigger on the inside.
I can't believe people are hating her for having too much empathy
@John Afella It's there for a reason.
This song affects me so deeply that it feels like I can't breathe, but when I already can't breathe, it's like a breath of fresh air.
trying is the point of life
I can't deal with how much this speaks to me and how it was like a hand reaching down into the hole of my depression to help me out of it two days ago.
ukanthandlethetruthh
two days and two years ago
I hope all is well with you
do you know what you captured here?...
THANK YOU
I wish I could cry more easily - this song is just gorgeous, and so powerful. Yeah, Amanda, I need a fucking hug right now, too.
For anyone who needs - I have transcribed the lyrics to SongMeanings.
the Klaus Nomi corset🥺 I know how much is SUCKS to be an artist and depressed :C...FINALLY!!! SOMEONE GETS IT!
Wow.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I have been watching various gifts from you on youtube over the last week. I remembered that one of the gifts of great art, one of the ways I am nourished by great art, is when it reminds me deeply of something my soul knows to be true, but has lost sight of in the fog. And in so doing calls to me across the abyss, and calls me back towards me own best. And that inspiration gives me the strength to reach towards life and myself and others again with renewed hope, strength and love.
Thank you. Thank you for this gift. For your hand.
Every show I've seen, she it's always able to get complete silence, usually because no one wants to miss anything. It's so quiet, you can hear the glasses at the bar getting cleaned up. Love this song.
Damn, I'm actually sobbing right now.
thanks a ton for uploading this.
You're very welcome.
Been watching this over and over again for an hour. Cannot stop crying.
i got to see this live a few years ago. this is the saddest song ive ever heard i cant not tear up whenever i hear it. its amazing how much emotion and honesty and vulnerability is in this song. i love her so much.
How dare you trivialize depression and use your personal perspective against another person in pain. If you are unable to feel any kind of allegiance, shut up and contain yourself, but don't ever start a crusade against a person who has done nothing to you outside of your own imagination.
What an intensely emotional and real, raw song. It is done in only a way Amanda Palmer can do, and it's masterful. Made me cry with you, lady. Good upload, Munich Reilly
I'm glad you enjoyed it Boss Darcie :-)
Goosebumps. Eyes watering.
Hauntingly beautiful.
Thank you Amanda.
Pretty much the greastest song she's ever created. Seeing this live, I was in tears like everyone else in the audience. Her music just....touches your soul in a way I don't think anyone else can.
this woman should never stop making music.
Yeah, but let her die when her time will come, not another Mickael Jackson
Oh my, what a lovely lovely, honest, pure performer... Brought tears to my eyes.
Absolutely love this. So raw, full of so much emotion. Amanda Palmer is the best.
I love everything she does. It's her rawness. I love her voice too it's so authentic. It's like her pain comes through it. She is very physically beautiful too. Her Ukulele is wonderfully childlike and it's obvious she has musical talents.
The first thing I noticed is the yapping that always goes on at shows. I paid $60 for these tickets and I'm going to talk to my friend for 2 hours straight and not remember anything about it! I am glad she called them out.
I be stupid. but not as stupid as you, yappy..
Aaron Gautier-Borrell wanted to share this with you. Don't know if you are familiar with any of her work, but she is amazing in my opinion.
I can relate to this song so much. I've been battling depression and anxiety disorders for the last few years now. I lost a loved one just a few months ago. And feel so guilty that I've completely stopping doing my photography. This sadness and darkness has stolen my passion for all the things I truly love. It kills me inside.
But there is also beauty in the breakdown. And those same dark thoughts can end up being the very inspiration you needed most. This is an example of that.
I suffer of anxiety and depression myself... And I'm just 23!!! I have learned to conquer my demons, well most of them. Just when I'm heartbroken is when I have made my best work,(poetry)... It got lost within the years and all my movings, but I still remember the passion I had those days, the blood tears I cried, and the granade-on-my-chest feeling I had. Never give up. Rise like a Phoenix.
Absolutely adore you Amanda Palmer.
YES! I can't be more attracted to any other human than her right here...
thank you for uploading this and for leaving the start in, i agree it gives the song a proper build up. the whole video is gorgeous, thank you so much :)
I was one of the people at the Nashville kickstarter house party. We were the first to hear this. It was truly beautiful to sit next to her and watch her sing it, how much she put into it. She is truly great.
Shes awesome!
Lyrics are great!
Music of this song too monotonous for me.
I love u Amanda!!
Song starts at 2:24 for people who don't care about intros. Although the intro is really nice.
She is so beautiful...
Beautiful song, but I can't help but wonder if Neil wasn't dreaming up an episode of Doctor Who when he said the eponymous line.
You could be right!
Thanks a bunch. Sometimes you find the one thing that you needed at the right moment. I needed that.
I cried...I cried a lot
Lilly Love So am i.
pt2 but I think she'd feel awful that she felt you were made to feel smaller by her, when this song is only about realising that we are bigger on the inside than anyone ever gives us credit for. Like I said, I'm so deeply sorry for you and the young man in the song, and I'd be suprised if Amanda Palmer felt her problems compared to yours. If only we could not compare and just be unified, but I suspect this is always impossible.
She sang this at Lincoln Center on Aug. 9th, as well. Made me cry then and I'm crying now.
This song always makes me cry. Why did I click on this? Bad Kate. Bad.
I'm sure her sexual thingy played into it but I think it is wholly less specific. The lyrics say it plainly. He asked her how she keeps fighting but she feels weak. Anyone who listens to her regularly knows this to be fault, but this song just shows such raw emotions of uncertainty and insecurity--we all feel that at times (at least the ones of us who really feel). There's a variety of situations laid out in this song...I mean "I've been drunk and skipping dinner eating skin from off my fingers" can describe my life. The point is there's more to everyone than we like to give them credit for. You can't see the inside of someone when there's so much skin in the way.
I don't know who/what your comment was a response to, but this song has absolutely nothing to do with sexuality. Her two best friends were both dying from cancer.
This started playing automatically after another AP video and for a while I thought it was a recent experience related to Covid/quarantine. Wowow.
Speechless
Saw her perform this songat Glastonbury lat year.... it was so brutal and raw. Made me cry. Fucking love Amanda.
not an attempt to compete or compare pain, just to understand and connect and love
Thank you. I think you’re songs are amazing. Especially lyrically, but in most cases in every way. Been a fan for a while. This song (and the potentially unspoken kinda funny subtext to the title) hits super close to home at a time it really helped to hear it. Stay awesome.
When I'm feeling down and things aren't going right, this song makes things okay again.
This is really beautiful and beautifully real.
It hurts my heart
Oh my...
What a great artist.
This is so powerful.
this is great and all
but it could have seriously used a fucking bridge
or
like
something
holy shit.
This song meant a lot to me after I was raped. So Thankyou.
Omg I’m engulfed in her. I can’t explain the feelings
i don’t feel like a fighter lately, i am too unhappy.
I cant help but cry everytime i watch!
I was there it was magical
The background chatter is annoying 🙄
This song is perfect
That was beautiful
Oh Amanda... You've saved me so many times
I think I cry while watching this video
thank you
Te amo diosa de la vida
Thank you...
holy shit that was good. great youtube stumble, thanks! i have similar issues. wish i could be unconsciously happy like everyone else.
Nobody can be unconsciously happy; everyone has pain. But they could learn a thing or two by being honest like you. Someday people will realize it's totally okay to hurt.
OMG...face drenched. HOW does she DO that??? That is truly, a brave heart. Speechless...
Wow
THAT IS THE SHIT !!!
Did she not answer the other person who shouted something to her.
Probably didn't hear 🤷♂️
well that's me crying
