I was thinking a lot about these specific lyrics and I think this quote sums it up really well: “If your mind carries a heavy burden of past, you will experience more of the same. The past perpetuates itself through lack of presence. The quality of your consciousness at this moment is what shapes the future.” ― Eckhart Tolle
Love the layers on this, chaotic and beautiful like a relationship, it takes patience to understand what is actually being said, but you feel it all the same
@@randomcreativename I honestly never had an issue with the chorus, I'm a fan of bon iver but moreso shoegaze, so I love intricatley interwoven sounds of all types
Am i the only one who loves the extreme distortion? lol Also the lyrics hit home like crazy, but i like how when i first listened i had no clue what the song was about. It made me focus on the feel/melody first. Then when i looked up the lyrics, it was like discovering the whole song over again.
Jonah NeSmith completely what i was thinking! his digital fingerprint is all over the production on the chorus specifically. then at the crescendo at the end where they blend? just wonderfully satisfying music to listen to!
seriously THIS SONG. it’s like an abstract and expensive treasure, what an art from amber and justin. honestly I can’t stop listening for this in two days, only repeating this song not listen to other song!! I really likes this so much
It’s so amazing that amber has done this collaboration because I remember reading how she is inspired by Bon Iver and the fact she has made it this far is so beautiful
When I listen to this, the reality is washed down. With the beautiful melody and her angelic voice, it's a good song to escape when someone's life is overloaded. Can't get enough of her musics. Amber is a genius.
It's crazy how this group became one of my top 10 after a first listen, especially 'cause I'm not the easiest to impress music wise. Now I'm hooked and got their ish on mad repeat.
its quite interesting when it enters the reff part, they make it distorted, and it feels like the real "step on up", like you have to do something immediately with courage and without hestitation, like a beautiful rage.
The concept of this song is so refreshing and unique. I bet none of us didn't guess that the distortion part was about to come and when we did, it was unexpected and unique as the whole song is.
LYRICS: Listenin' in on everybody else Talkin' about somethin' meaningless Wishin' that someone would film the way I'm lookin' at you right now I wanna watch it back and then kill myself And I know it's not very sexy when somebody loves you this much and knows you this well But it's the way it is And I sense it's not the best time to be tryin' to fuck with your head and diggin' up old ground So I squash it down Step on up Pay them no mind You're alone with this one And they're angry Well it won't do no good Together, with your problems, doll Live alone, willingly (Yeah) I've been thinkin' about my storyline And how your past becomes your present if it's always on your mind We played Dionne Warwick, "Walk On By" And Freddy put his head between his legs and cried Step on up Pay them no mind You're alone with this one And they're angry Well it won't do no good Together, with your problems, doll Live alone, willingly (Yeah) Listenin' in on everybody else Talkin' about somethin' meaningless Wishin' that someone would film the way I'm lookin' at you right now I wanna watch it back and then kill myself Step on up Pay them no mind You're alone with this one And they're angry Well it won't do no good Together, with your problems, doll Live alone, willingly (Yeah) Wishin' that someone would film the way I'm lookin' at you Wishin' that someone would film the way I'm lookin' at you Wishin' that someone would film the way I'm lookin' at you Film the way I'm lookin' at you Film the way, oh dear
Just recently started listening to this amazing band. Such beautiful comments previously! I can’t add much that hasn’t been said. However, the lyrics, music, and her voice are absolutely beautiful! I love this song and the band!
Just say,the feeling this song brought me is like...a process,a change of mind,and i am so impressed by how amber and justin show those in a song,so genius
This was my song of the year in apple music review 2022. I'm so proud of myself.!! I love this song so much that I listen to it every single day!! ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
man i wish i could listen to all of her songs for the first time again. i want to say "you wont be disappointed" but it is such an understatement. enjoy :)
I discovered The Japanese House almost 3 years ago now and got obsessed with "Teeth". I'd spend every day listening to it, but I got busy with school and discovered other artists. Found this song in my Release Radar playlist, and I'm in love with Amber Bain's voice all over again.

"and I know its not very sexy when someone loves you this much and knows you this well" is such a great line
"Wishing that someone would film the way i'm looking at you"
PERFECTION.
"I've been thinking about my storyline and how your past becomes your present if it's always on your mind"

@@ananyaiyer19 HI.!!!!!
@@smriti7149 fancy seeing you here :3
Love the layers on this, chaotic and beautiful like a relationship, it takes patience to understand what is actually being said, but you feel it all the same
what a beautiful thing to say, sums it up perfectly
@@randomcreativename I honestly never had an issue with the chorus, I'm a fan of bon iver but moreso shoegaze, so I love intricatley interwoven sounds of all types
Have to comment so this comment is saved for me. So well said.
This may be the most beautiful thing I have ever heard.
It is the most beautiful I thing I think...😌
Oh my gosh; I was just thinking last week how Japanese House and Bon Iver are my two favorites and how PERFECTLY their sounds would go together!
This is pure gold.
The fact that this song was probably only heard by the smallest amount of people makes me kinda sad but proud at the same time.
That chorus, how can someone ever create that?!! And the whole song is just a masterpiece
Not the song you want to relate to but glad its here.
"I know it's not very sexy when somebody loves you this much and knows you this well. But it's the way it is."

I LOvE the distortion, it’s so fitting
This words the whole process of loving the Japanese house so well! 👏👏👏❤️
You encapsulated well the very same sentiments I have!!! Love this song so much.
100% this!!
@Sahana Simha... No You ain't, I'm loving it, too ;)
This song's just very captivating musically as well as lyrically!
That part where she sings Dionne Warwick Walk on By gets me every time! It's just so clever and beautiful.
How is it even possible that every single song she makes is just a tiny miracle that immidiatly hits your soul and melts your heart... Amazing!
this song will spend a lifetime with me
Well said. I feel the same.
these lyrics really just put every single thought in my head into a song
⬆️me
Their musical styles melded together just works perfectly. WOW.
What do you mean?
@@user-ke4hi2el5k like, the verses are very Japanese House, and the chorus sounds very Justin Vernon. Not just vocally, but stylistically too
Jonah NeSmith completely what i was thinking! his digital fingerprint is all over the production on the chorus specifically. then at the crescendo at the end where they blend? just wonderfully satisfying music to listen to!
The fact that I’ll never get tired of this song
this is literally perfection. every single song is amazing.
Their voices work so well together!
I'll die for her voice...
same for his
I'd rather live to see what she puts up next XD
true
I know
seriously THIS SONG. it’s like an abstract and expensive treasure, what an art from amber and justin.
honestly I can’t stop listening for this in two days, only repeating this song not listen to other song!! I really likes this so much
It is... undeniably .... *an absolute banger* 💯💣💥
It’s so amazing that amber has done this collaboration because I remember reading how she is inspired by Bon Iver and the fact she has made it this far is so beautiful
Her favorite album is Bon Iver, Bon Iver (as is mine). This must be so freaking cool for her
When I listen to this, the reality is washed down. With the beautiful melody and her angelic voice, it's a good song to escape when someone's life is overloaded. Can't get enough of her musics. Amber is a genius.
I love towards the end how they expertly layer both their vocal througout the song over each other repeatedly. So genius. I want more.
i check every day to see if there's a live version yet
I feel like my subconscious thoughts are being communicated to me and it’s pretty damn healing.
same
Everything about this...oh my...am bursting into raindrops
This song puts me in a different time, stage and surrounding. Brilliant, a painting..
You love moments like this, when you find a great song and it's new and you just keep playing it on repeat and loving the fuck out of it.
My week is literally saved!! I feel saved!!
I simultaneously don't understand this song and feel like this song understands me
Always coming back to this gem.
It's crazy how this group became one of my top 10 after a first listen, especially 'cause I'm not the easiest to impress music wise. Now I'm hooked and got their ish on mad repeat.

They should do making music more and more. What a emotional and sensitive song this is. I have never listened ever before.
This song came out on a day when I needed a hug so badly. I never knew music had the ability to fill that void. Thank you :)
pondering about life while listening to the japanese house somehow comforts me
I love when she sings those deep notes
Why do I listen to this till now? Omg this song is just wow, Justin's voice is insane
I’ve been listening to this song on repeat since I woke up and i still can’t stop
Same!
lakers35 I’m losing my mind this song is living in my head rent free 😣
I need a studio version of this would love to hear her unfiltered voice w/ violins blending in❤️
MY TWO FAVORITE ARTISTS WOW IM BLESSED
"BUT THAT'S THE WAY IT IIIIIIIS ... " love that part. this song is so fuckin good.
The concept of this song is so refreshing and unique. I bet none of us didn't guess that the distortion part was about to come and when we did, it was unexpected and unique as the whole song is.
damn theres so much meaning in 'live alone willingly'. amazing
I think this is the best song ever! I love love love it..
We loved you Justin Vernon last year in Luxembourg! You make the best music!
This song is everything to me
That's my name, Dionne 😁 when I heard this song for the first time it just blew me away. What a perfect one, lovee it, The Japanese House!
LYRICS:
Listenin' in on everybody else
Talkin' about somethin' meaningless
Wishin' that someone would film the way I'm lookin' at you right now
I wanna watch it back and then kill myself
And I know it's not very sexy when somebody loves you this much and knows you this well
But it's the way it is
And I sense it's not the best time to be tryin' to fuck with your head and diggin' up old ground
So I squash it down
Step on up
Pay them no mind
You're alone with this one
And they're angry
Well it won't do no good
Together, with your problems, doll
Live alone, willingly (Yeah)
I've been thinkin' about my storyline
And how your past becomes your present if it's always on your mind
We played Dionne Warwick, "Walk On By"
And Freddy put his head between his legs and cried
Step on up
Pay them no mind
You're alone with this one
And they're angry
Well it won't do no good
Together, with your problems, doll
Live alone, willingly (Yeah)
Listenin' in on everybody else
Talkin' about somethin' meaningless
Wishin' that someone would film the way I'm lookin' at you right now
I wanna watch it back and then kill myself
Step on up
Pay them no mind
You're alone with this one
And they're angry
Well it won't do no good
Together, with your problems, doll
Live alone, willingly (Yeah)
Wishin' that someone would film the way I'm lookin' at you
Wishin' that someone would film the way I'm lookin' at you
Wishin' that someone would film the way I'm lookin' at you
Film the way I'm lookin' at you
Film the way, oh dear

日本生まれ日本育ちの日本人ですが、この音楽は完璧で最高です！

Its almost midnite in indonesia and i get a great voice thank God for this moment 😇
Would love an acoustic version 😱😍
Wait a couple of weeks/months and I’m sure there’ll be one 😌
Floating through the clouds right now ❤️
Perfect collaboration!
This song blew my speakers...and I don't mind 🤗
every song she makes is pure art
No matter how i want to hear justins voice clear, the distortion sound adds something so good to this song
I really needed this
I have never clicked so fast! I knew I'd love it even before I heard it!
so happy she got to collab with one of her big inspirations!!
First listen: this is an odd song, but kinda interesting
Second listen: alright, kind of a vibe
Fourty-fifth Listen: JUSTIN KILLED IT AGAIN
justin? but what about amber?
@@d0wntownki2k and you right!!
This was me haha took me a while to warm up to it but now it’s my favourite song on the Ep
God.... this is the only song on the EP i never heard till now. And holy ... what gorgeous words. ♡
Please come back
I miss your music 😭
I- I have so many emotions. So much love for you, Amber.
*Is it just me that The Midnight, 1975 & The Japanese house gives me the same vibes.*
always perfection 😚
Dirty Hit records :)
guess what, i was just thinking the exact same thing ! XD, read my mind huh, we need a collab
The 1975 collaborates with The Japanese House often for production which is why they have similar sounds. :)
The Japanese House is produced by the drummer of the 1975. That's why.
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG FOR NEW MUSIC AND THIS IS A MASTERPIECE I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT SM THANK YOU SO MUCH AMBER AND IM SO PROUD OF YOU 💗
I never knew I needed a song so much til I heard this when my heart got broke
I love this so much
Thanks Steven
Thank you, Gossip girl!!
This is beautiful... time to dive in & discover The Japanese House
man i wish i could listen to all of her songs for the first time again. i want to say "you wont be disappointed" but it is such an understatement. enjoy :)
I discovered The Japanese House almost 3 years ago now and got obsessed with "Teeth". I'd spend every day listening to it, but I got busy with school and discovered other artists. Found this song in my Release Radar playlist, and I'm in love with Amber Bain's voice all over again.
Bon iver is a literal genius. And amber is brilliant as always
This distorted acid trip type of lyric video was exactly what I imagined when I first listened to this song.
this is my favorite rn
Japanese house is soo good
lyrical and musical perfection ✨ bliss
