Three big cheers to Voltaire for keeping the true spirit of "goth" alive! It is so embarrassing to be inaccurately associated with all of the emo bands or the death metal whenever I mention that I was a "goth" in high school. THIS is more like it!
Now THIS is what the music industry today is missing: an artist who has a unique sound, a GOOD sound, a great voice, and doesn't just have to skate by on his good looks. I love how different Voltaire's music is ^_^
I ll admit it. I never heard of Aurelio Voltaire in 2008. I was busy listening to Mindless Self Indulgence, Emilie Autumn and industrial metal at the time.
My friend sent this to me today (it's my birthday). I gotta say, this was probably the highlight of my entire day. Thank you, Voltaire, for making me laugh on my birthday.
This is the best birthday song I have ever heard. A friend of mine sent me this song as a birthday present because today is my birthday. I'm so happy that they did, I'll be singing this when I blow out the candles on my cake :) Thank you for making this awesome song!!! :-)
Yeah, this is definitely going to be my go-to birthday song from now on... unless I really feel like annoying someone with Binky The Clown.. I love the production on this video, the clothing is brilliant!
Holy shit. I didn't know that you'd ever actually made any music videos, so I was going to congratulate the maker on finding an impeccable Voltaire look-alike. Kudos on this video! It looked like an absolute blast to be a part of.
Im very grateful that you made this song so all us misfits,sarcasm lovers,cynics,goths,darkers etc etc etc have a nice song to send to our loved one on their birthday :D
this has got to be the best b-day song ever! but well, since it's voltaire we're talking about, that was to be expected! because, my dear goth gentleman, you're THE BEST!
Dude, Voltaire, if you're reading this, first off, you rule man; music's awesome, messages you convey are genuine, amusing, and something we can all take to heart. Second, you should really do more videos when you get time. Not just for your new album (although a video for Beast opf Pirates Bay would be sick) but also your old stuff; I can totally see a video for Day of the Dead. Anyways man, that's just my opinion.
A fine music video, "old-fashioned" in a unique kind of way. Music televisions around the world really need more Voltaire's videos to show... I hope we will see some other classics transposed in a music video sooner or later! Perhaps using Voltaire's incredible stop-motion talent!
Gotta say, I enjoyed your books, and was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled upon this delightful song. It's perfect for sending to all my friends on their birthday, and they all enjoy it, also
For having a recent Birthday myself i love this song aand a good deal of the rest of your music. Thank you Voltaire for all your delightfully twisted songs to brighten even my worse day i raise a glass to you good sir
@Midnaization HAHA yes. xD That was me. For my brief few seconds of being in the video I owe it to Voltaire of course though. He's a very generous man indeed. (Though we all know my deadybear was the true star, don't we ^.~ )
I love this song its just so demented i have to say i would find it quite humorous if i was able to get someone to play this at my funeral for grins and giggle Great Song Voltaire you are a genius when it comes to these types of songs P.S. may everyone have many many days before your last moments come
I just recently ordered this whole album and it's excellent! To The Bottom Of The Sea is so catchy. I'd LOVE to see Voltaire perform live if I ever get the chance. Watched his live shows on youtube but I'm sure the real thing is twice as amazing. :D
Feel good song, great players, artistic talent everywhere - this is now my default 'I'm sending you a birthday song' tune :) Thanks again, V, good stuff!
Such a fantastic performance. The music is both witty and pleasant, probably why I enjoy it so much. I do hope to see you in concert one day, come to Pittsburgh lol
AWESOME VIDEO!!! It seems all the gothic Birthday songs from "Happy Birthday" by the Birthday Massacre, "Happy F**ing Birthday" by Combichrist AND especially Voltaire's, is nothing short of awesome!
Hooray! It's my birthday!!!!!!!!!!! lol I told everyone that if I died on my birthday, I wanted this played at my funeral; I made sure that my mom knew, too, so she could make arrangements for it:) lol
@voltairenyc Today Is my Birthday, and I'm going to start it by reading my copy of "Paint it Black" which is an excellent read, and listening to this song, Thank You so very much for the wonderful music, and being you Voltaire :)
Just got to midnight here in Scandinavia so its officialy the 1st october and the day of my 20 years birthday.. No birthday is complete without this song playing.
My friend sent me this for my birthday and I instantly fell in love with it. I went on to listen to a bunch of other songs but this is by far my favourite.
I love this video, I love your songs and I love lolita style so I'm surprised my head hasn't exploded by the sheer awesomess of it. Pity itunes mexico only has one cd of yours T.T I wanted the others.
Im gonna sing this song at my friends birthday next saturday, we both are great fans of Voltaire, but (I think) he still doesnt know about this song. He was the one who told me about Voltaire by introducing to me the song "When you are Evil" (one of his best, by far) Since then I just can't stop hearing his songs!
Three big cheers to Voltaire for keeping the true spirit of "goth" alive! It is so embarrassing to be inaccurately associated with all of the emo bands or the death metal whenever I mention that I was a "goth" in high school. THIS is more like it!
Oh my god.. Voltaire is without a doubt a genius!!
I love this video but above all I love him!!!!
My birthday's today and for the past 2 years I've listened to this song all day.
Glad I found this today, cheered me up on an otherwise lackluster birthday. Been humming it all day! Gonna miss seeing you at Dragon*Con this year.
I think I'll dance to this at my wedding one day. Thanks for making this awesome song!
What about stuck with you, where he sings with Amanda Palmer?
Awesome! I really liked the descriptions of aging too. Awesome.
Everytime a friend or family member has a birthday, I share this with them. The good thing is all of them has enjoyed it.
Now THIS is what the music industry today is missing: an artist who has a unique sound, a GOOD sound, a great voice, and doesn't just have to skate by on his good looks. I love how different Voltaire's music is ^_^
I love literally everything about this.
I ll admit it. I never heard of Aurelio Voltaire in 2008. I was busy listening to Mindless Self Indulgence, Emilie Autumn and industrial metal at the time.
Lol I was an 8 year old in 2008. Discovered Voltaire via AQW a few years later, as well as one eyed doll
back when voltaire had a myspace.... dear lord that's a scary thought
i am so happy my friend sent this to me on my birthday again this year :D
My friend sent this to me today (it's my birthday). I gotta say, this was probably the highlight of my entire day. Thank you, Voltaire, for making me laugh on my birthday.
Admittedly, even I sung this to a friend that had a sense of humor at work on his birthday. Great going Voltaire, and kudos to the camera crew!
a friend sent me this video on FB for my birthday, just turned 30, and now I send it to everyone on their birthday! I think it's awesome!
I actually may have already commented this but I post this song for every birthday on Facebook for anyone under 40. It never disappoints.
This is the best birthday song I have ever heard. A friend of mine sent me this song as a birthday present because today is my birthday. I'm so happy that they did, I'll be singing this when I blow out the candles on my cake :) Thank you for making this awesome song!!! :-)
I sent this to my good friend on her birthday, and she said it totally made her day. Thanks Voltaire! :D
Oh my gosh. This is so much fun. It's Voltaire, so that is certainly consistent. :0)
Yeah, this is definitely going to be my go-to birthday song from now on... unless I really feel like annoying someone with Binky The Clown..
I love the production on this video, the clothing is brilliant!
Holy shit. I didn't know that you'd ever actually made any music videos, so I was going to congratulate the maker on finding an impeccable Voltaire look-alike. Kudos on this video! It looked like an absolute blast to be a part of.
OK, this song just took over the spot as my favorite birthday-related song!
Love the video! Keep it up!
i believe you found yourself a new fan voltaire :) with this one is my 8th favorite song of yours :) been checking your songs for awhile
Im very grateful that you made this song so all us misfits,sarcasm lovers,cynics,goths,darkers etc etc etc have a nice song to send to our loved one on their birthday :D
this has got to be the best b-day song ever!
but well, since it's voltaire we're talking about, that was to be expected!
because, my dear goth gentleman, you're THE BEST!
Ahahahaha, it's mine and my dad's birthday today so I just played him this song and he laughed and laughed ^_^
Thank you Phil. That was a stunningly wonderful gift here on my 72nd b' day.
This is pure gold and diamonds! Never have there been a better video. It's a piece of heaven! I LOVE YOU VOLTAIRE! :D

My son played this on my birthday for me. It's now my favorite birthday song.
For my 15th or 16th birthday, my mom sent me this video in a link on FB. Best mom ever!
Love to my Mama. :)

I love this video Voltaire. So nice to see one of your song in an actual Music Video.

Voltaire is the best singer I've ever seen. You're amazing!

I love sending this to all my older friends on their birthdays!
Great video, great song!It could be a scene from a Tim Burton movie!
I send this to all my friends on their birthdays anymore. Never once have they not gotten a kick out of it.
Hooray! It's my birthday!!!!!!!!!!! lol I told everyone that if I died on my birthday, I wanted this played at my funeral; I made sure that my mom knew, too, so she could make arrangements for it:) lol
I'm 43 today, and I appreciated it. Though I already know the song. Thanks!

Just got to midnight here in Scandinavia so its officialy the 1st october and the day of my 20 years birthday.. No birthday is complete without this song playing.
When someone sings this to you, you don't know whether to be angry or grateful!

I used this song at my dad's birthday and he became a Voltaire because he loves (and so do I) his humor.
My friend from across the country sent this to me, he said since he couldn't sing it to me in person he'd just send this to me. So awesome xD
Ya decía yo que no eran ideas mías el haber visto vestidos lolitas ¡Buen trabajo!
A friend showed me this song and i went downloading your songs, Dude, you are really awesome, keep on doin what you do o/
From now on whenever one of my friends birthdays come up I am sending them this.

He was the one who told me about Voltaire by introducing to me the song "When you are Evil" (one of his best, by far) Since then I just can't stop hearing his songs!
