I think music like this should be on the radio but yet they say it's not radio friendly enough for it to be on the radio because it's a little outside the norm and because it don't fit into one particular genre of music yet real musicians who aren't afraid to go outside the norm are the real musicians, look at Irene moon she is probably one of the strangest musicians out there she does really weird dungeon type music and they put her on the radio it don't make any sense why they can't put something like this on the radio
I think she smiled because the volume was too high and intense. Like laughter. Regardless, this is my favorite version of her song. And I like mistakes personally. I think it makes art more beautiful ❤
I think they're different and that this one subjectively is better and feels larger like it's got a little more depth. The tail end of the song is so majestic
I came across this song as a little girl and I never understood the lyrics or its depth but I knew it spoke volumes just by the way it’s so beautifully harmonized. Now over a decade later, I can now interpret the lyrics in my own way and it makes it even more beautiful.
I was watching another full performance at KEXP and I came here by mistake. It's the 4th time in row that I'm watching this performance. I can't stop it.
He's alone in his house out there, far, far away, he sleeps with his eyes open. He was so sad last night, in this house out there, he took my hand and whispered. And life is so sad in this house out there, his window's alright, his garden is wonderful. But this waterfall salt tears comes from him, he will fill his house. He takes my hand and whispers: I'll drown when I see you, I'll drown when I see you, I'll drown when I see you. These tears run so fast in his house out there he tried to get out, his house took our hands and smiled. You'll never escape from this sad, sad house, I take his hand, we sink. I'll drown when I see you, I'll drown when I see you, x2 I'll drown when I see you, I do.
+Alexandra Andreea I'm quite sure she says 'his windows are eyes'. like the house is a metaphor for his head. like overall its someone suffering from depression.
I mean please take me to Iceland I need to hug people there. Of monsters and men and this one at the same time is so rewarding. I don't know what good did humans do to deserve them. Just too good dude. Who's doing it?
From what I understand about the country, they value the arts, for one. Nearly everyone there is writing a book, making music or visual art. If you're not they wonder what's wrong with you. Haha. Aside from that there must be something in that glacier water that comes out of the tap.
Iceland is, in fact, amazing. There's no crime really except petty theft and some vandalism, Reykjavik is owned by cats, mineral water flows out of every tap, the supermarket's logo pig is silly, the clothes are cool, the landscape is beautiful. The only downside is that everyone speaksEnglish and it makes you feel like an entitled tourist.
Out of the 3 million views on this, I think about 2 million of those are mine.... I LOVE LOVE LOVE this version. She completely nails it! It's so beautiful!
I interpret the house representing his love for her that’s making him sad because it’s unrequited thus the line “He is alone in his house out there” but she takes joy in it and that’s why she performs the song with a smile. She says “These tears run so fast in his house out there he tried to get out, his house took our hands and smiled. You'll never escape from this sad, sad house.“ The lines “he sleeps with his eyes open” means he doesn’t quite trust her The lines “his windows alright, his garden is wonderful but this waterfall salt tears comes from him” means things seem fine on the surface but he’s depressed He also whispers to her that he’ll drown when he sees her again then she takes his hand as they sink into his sadness almost like she guides him there. Basically I think the song is about a story where she enjoys causing him sadness and he tries to stop loving her but he can’t so he spirals into a depression she guided him to maybe it’s also just about an unhappy relationship that continues and I’m reading too much into the lines about her being happy or content with the situation and that just represents the good parts of a bad relationship alternatively but I can identify with being in love with someone who enjoys breaking your heart for the fun of it so I don’t think it’s too farfetched
Jesus Christ this is exactly what I’m going through. It hurts so fucking bad but I have no one else and she makes me so happy when I’m with her. She kissed me once, but she says she never felt like more than friends and wants to keep it that way. This seems to conflict with everything she ever said or did with me. I took her on like 5 dates, we both had an amazing time and I could feel her warming to me and my touch... I’ve had a crush on her for years and I wanted this so bad. I talked to her for months, we were talking every day. She just got out of a relationship, and I think deep down she likes me but wants to deny it or is having trouble feeling attracted to anybody. She says she doesn’t want a thing with anyone.... wtf. She says she doesn’t know why but she isn’t feeling attracted to me sexually although I’m pretty sure she felt attracted to me in HS. Why am I telling you this. You ruined this song for me and it’s one of my favorites :(
He is alone in his house out there far far away he sleeps with his eyes open. He was so sad last night in his house out there he took my hand and whispered I like his old style in his house out there his windows are eyes his garden has waterfalls. But his waterfalls are tears, (they) come from him he will fill this house he takes my hand and whispers. I’ll drown when i see you His tears run so fast in his house out there we try to get out his house took our hands and smiled we’ll never escape from this sad, sad house i take his hand We sink. I’ll drown when i see you
You gave me the purest feelings a man can ever experience. I've never felt this way before. Georgeus. Great. Totally. Words won't describe it. Thank you so much.
Her live performances are even better which is very rare for most singers. I notice her live performances are even more strong, deep, powerful, and a striking profound. Astonishing indeed!

Soley will become a legend in no time! She reminds me of the late American-Canadian Lhasa de Sela....simple and unique vocals that are always captivating.
8 years later, and I’m still just as much in love, if not more.
Still gives me chills
Yessss
Same.
3 years later.

I could not overlook how she smiled right after she started singing. This is a real musician. You can see how she enjoys doing music.
She heard it sounding good as hell and couldn't even help it

She gets the starting lyric mixed up too I believe that’s why she smiles when the verse starts
You mean Musigian right, as I'm just as enchanted by this magical play.
Just remembered how great this is. That first chord still hits me like a truck.
God, do I love all these KEXP performances. There's nothing like a voice, a piano, and not much else to hit the feels.
- I love how she smiled after that first piano chord; powerful shit.
So good. She heard it, we all did..she got it just right.
1:02 I want to spend the rest of my life watching this smile.
+Mert Yasin Ardıçlı Yes I agree
that is just pretty darn creepy.
rhis is what we need only smile
It's gets me every time! 🙏🏽💓
simon que si esee!
what an enchanting song, and adorable artist
The range of emotions she undergoes throughout her performance is astonishing - I could watch artists like this forever.
We can, through ourselves.
This version has been giving me goosebumps for at least 6 years. Every. time. I. listen.
That smile after she loops everything
this was absolutely one of the most amazing performances I've ever seen, but it ended so abruptly and awkwardly. such is life.
such is death
death ends abruptly?
and awkwardly
Indeed, and such is...
420SweetLeaf I guess what you mean.. and yes, I agree ;)
I drown every time I watch this performance, in my tears, conjured up by Soley's beautiful vocals and as I said before her mesmerising smile.x
this is absolute magic
8 years down the line and I just stumbled on this, and it still makes me smile.
Same man, sad I didnt know she performed a KEXP version.
Sin duda alguna su sonrisa al minuto 1 es realmente contagiosa y plena.
This version is so much better than the album version
it's deeper...
evankingmaguitars kexp been known to do it
I think they're different and that this one subjectively is better and feels larger like it's got a little more depth. The tail end of the song is so majestic
It is the kexp effect :P. Most of kexp performance are better than studios :)
This has got to be one of the best live performances of all times.
you can hear her smile
Oof
Ten years and still amazing
I'm in love with Soley, Can't wait for her new album next year.
God, I'm in heaven !
1:00 - I love this smile
Esta canción huele a 10 años atrás, a un chai latte, al otoño y a mis caminatas eternas.... 🍂 huele a mi juventud
That smile... makes me feel better today!
Presente después de 10 años, amo está canción ❤

The smile on her face. That's the feeling when the music is just right.....
this smile in the beginning
11 years ago? Wow times flies.... and this ages like fine wine.
She's funky, I'm in love.
I could drown in that smile at 1:02. So beautiful what music can make you feel!
it's a pleasure to watch you make music, you have soul in the sounds you create
Beautiful.
i love how you can hear thr depth in this song, you can almost feel the water swelling and swirling as you drown
I was watching another full performance at KEXP and I came here by mistake. It's the 4th time in row that I'm watching this performance. I can't stop it.
i love when she smiles, it shows she really enjoys her music
i don't care how many times i see this; it gives me chills and my eyes get teary.
Read this as my eyes began to tear:)
❤ reminds me of the depths I’ve come up from.
I love her outfit, and her voice, and her music, and everything about her!
this girl is made of music
He's alone in his house out there, far, far away, he sleeps with his eyes open.

I'll drown when I see you,
I'll drown when I see you, x2
I'll drown when I see you,
I do.
Alexandra Andreea I just wonder what it might mean.
+Alexandra Andreea I'm quite sure she says 'his windows are eyes'. like the house is a metaphor for his head. like overall its someone suffering from depression.
If you go to her website, the lyrics are there. No more insight on the meaning, though.
When she says " He sleeps with his eyes open" and that little head nod, is something I could watch over and over and over and over again.
that gorgeous smile
I watched this 12 years ago and it blew my mind. Glad I was able to find this gem again.
I love this song som much, she is such an amazing performer + that sweater ROCKS
Tellement doux et profond...10 ans que je l'écoute avec toujours autant d'émotions
she is a real artist, so beautiful
1:00 That SMILE ♥ The song is amazing, Sòley is perfect ♥
Elle me fait voyager, elle est extraordinaire !
Her smile made me smile too
Me tooo :)

Mad drum skills
0:55 her smile... she, this song, her love for what she's doing - is simply beautiful.
So addicted to this scene. Love Soley and Garry Bean the most.Garry Bean - Northern Town
I like it too. What scene would you try and label it as?
Nick L The hipster scene
Nick L The Iceland Scene. Icelandic music whether it be Bjork, of Monsters and Men, and Soley is always just that, Icelandic.
Absolutely, beautiful. No other words to describe this. Simply fantastic. We need more honest, real musicians like this.
Femine tenderness is a rarest in contemporary consume pop culture..... Sensitive Sóleý creative art performence ;)
I wonder if you have ever heard My Brightest Diamond? I love her too (Shara Worden aka My Brightest Diamond)
Soley performs songs that one could imagine in a haunting dream--mysterious, bittersweet, and ethereal.
Never gets old :)

He is alone
in his house out there
far far away
he sleeps with his eyes open.
He was so sad last night
in his house out there
he took my hand
and whispered
I like his old style
in his house out there
his windows are eyes
his garden has waterfalls.
But his waterfalls are tears,
(they) come from him
he will fill this house
he takes my hand
and whispers.
I’ll drown when i see you
His tears run so fast
in his house out there
we try to get out
his house took our hands and smiled
we’ll never escape
from this sad, sad house
i take his hand
We sink.
I’ll drown when i see you
i heard it as *his garden has wonderfulls-his wonderfulls are tears* my imagination... hah ;)
Laura Trujillo T merci de vous êtes donnée la peine d'écrire les' paroles...elles vont m'être très utiles. 😊😀😇thankfully.💙👋
Thanks
Lyrics helped me appreciate this wonder
Wow, seems like she's talking about depression. The house being depression "personified".
This is the spitting image of my daughter. Right down to the dimples. I'm not sure it's not her.

that melodic throat clear at 5:50 though
