I Google you Late at night when I don't know what to do I find photos you've forgotten you were in Put up by your friends I do, I Google you When the day is done and everything is through I read your journal that you kept that month in France I've watched you dance And I'm pleased your name is practically unique It's only you and a would-be PhD from Chesapeake Who writes papers on the structure of the sun I've read each one I know that I should let you fade But there's that box and there's your name Somehow it never makes the pain grow less or fade or disappear I think that I should save my soul and I should crawl back in my hole But it's too easy just to fold and type your name again, I fear I Google you When I'm all alone and don't know what to do And each shred of information that I gather Says you've found somebody new And it really shouldn’t matter Ought to blow up my computer But instead... I Google you
I saw this in the related videos box and shouted "WHAT?" so loudly. I thought my interests in Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer were freakishly distant. Man, am I out of the loop.
I just Googled some guy I've been crushing on for the past three months. Come to find out, he's part of an international money laundering scheme and probably will eventually be under investigation by the FBI. Guess I won't go there, then. Thank God for Google. : )
@TheQueenOfMediocrity Yes, all about love and the ever contracting gender spectrum of engagement. Smells like 'mean' spirit? Of course. One should never make the personal general. Thanks for your comment and the fact that my head, though bowed, is unbruised :)
@bacchante1 wtf are you talking about. its a win win situation either way. i dont know if you noticed, but in the last 5 years or so, COUGAR/MILF is now "in" and accepted. welcome to 2005.
@tsyrlb Hey, it was YOUR catchphrase I went with, so if you want a better one, come up with it. :-p I know some people in older/younger, too, and not only do they get looks, sometimes there's flak. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt as far as this -- maybe it depends on where you live.
@35xSeries I personally think it's absurd to really care much about the fellah's personal life...and I bet he might feel the same way. Who cares about the details of his relationship status? His literature is what is significant....everyone go read a book!
@tsyrlb You know exactly WTF I am talking about. Cougars and MILFs work if you're famous, or look like Demi Moore. It doesn't work for the everyday person on the street, Mom-dating-son's-friends. Welcome to 2011, where things haven't changed much since 1911.
@koriina Unfortunately, that formula breaks down along gender lines. A 38-year old woman dating a 21-year old college guy is 'desperate' or some creepy 'Mrs. Robinson', whereas a 38-year old man dating a 21-year old girl makes him 'studly' and admired. It shouldn't be this way -- at all -- but sadly, it is. :-/
Firstly it would be more funny if Amanda wrote the words and the chords were from Neil. Secondly as Gaiman gets older he looks all the most with Morpheus. The next video he will disappear half way.
@jungrobot Umm... Neil and his wife separated a long time ago and it had nothing to do with Amanda Palmer. He is still very much a part of his children's lives. Apparently you're not much of a fan of the man as much as the work since you don't seem to know shit about him.
I think if ya'll are arguing about social conformities on a video featuring Neil and Amanda, you're overlooking some pretty obvious shit. Good job. Meanwhile, back on topic: Ha! Neil is such a creeper. It's hot.
lol, no thats not true. i dont know how else to say it but that way. i dont know how to argue you except that off the top of my head i know a handful of people in older woman/younger man relationship. nobody gives two looks about it either. and yeah, a shitload has changed since 1911, get a better catchphrase dude.
One of my dreams is to be their neighbor, go ask for sugar and stuff. Play scrabble together, maybe pictionary. I'll always lose but I'll be glad about it.
It is immensely sad to see that, after watching someone so talented passionately share that talent with the world, people are moved to comment mostly about the how the artist pencilled in her eyebrows. Human beings do not deserve this thing called art.
My favorite singer and my favorite author. I cannot believe this exists. I want to kidnap them and force them to live together in a gigantic transparent bubble so that I can always watch them and love them and keep them forever. MINE!
I’m relieved somebody finally said it. I’m a fan of the Dresden Dolls and think Amanda is obviously talented, but when I’ve brought up her weak vocals to other fans they simply cannot accept.
I've been waiting for years for one of the people I stalk to ask me how I found out about that thing they posted so I can burst out into song. This song.
@MsHypatia1 When you are younger, this is certainly true. Dating someone 25 years older than you when you are 18 is not usually advisable, due mostly to the naivete of the 18 year old. However, as you grow and learn and mature, age differences begin to matter less and less at a rather rapid pace. The typical formula used to determine the youngest a person can date without it being creepy is age divided by 2 plus 7--so in this case, 50 divided by 2 is 25, plus seven is 32.
@frajilhart Bisexual? "The most important thing for me was to never, ever, ever deny it. But I didn’t really have the courage to talk about it. I was thinking, Well, the people who need to know I’m gay know, and I’m somehow living by example by continuing on with my career and having a full, rich life, and I am incidentally gay, but it’s not a big political platform. I justified it in so many ways. Believe me, I had a very, very long and difficult struggle with my sexuality" Portia de Rossi
@frajilhart I wondered about that so I investigated (i.e googled) Portia's bisexuality and found this: "A lot of models call themselves bisexual, so I just hid behind that title for a very long time", Portia de Rossi.
@koriina And some day I will learn to read and do math better. *L* I was thinking about the 'almost 18 year age difference', not the formula. But it kind of still holds true.
Happy for them; yes but I'd like to see just one bisexual woman choose a woman and give meaning to the word! (0k, bring it on, I'm covering my head and cowering: truly)

The fact that these two are together is just... It's like the world should implode with awesomeness any second now. :D
i am fans of both and was totaly mind blown when i heard.
I used to think this was a funny song but now it's my life.
Me too. It's fucking tragic. Straight to the heart.
Indeed
Well in that case, what's your name online so we can google you?
Her eyebrows make my world go around.
And this combination, these two brilliant people just about make my world explode.
Happiness is this song.
I Google you
Late at night when I don't know what to do
I find photos you've forgotten you were in
Put up by your friends
I do, I Google you
When the day is done and everything is through
I read your journal that you kept that month in France
I've watched you dance
And I'm pleased your name is practically unique
It's only you and a would-be PhD from Chesapeake
Who writes papers on the structure of the sun
I've read each one
I know that I should let you fade
But there's that box and there's your name
Somehow it never makes the pain grow less or fade or disappear
I think that I should save my soul and I should crawl back in my hole
But it's too easy just to fold and type your name again, I fear
I Google you
When I'm all alone and don't know what to do
And each shred of information that I gather
Says you've found somebody new
And it really shouldn’t matter
Ought to blow up my computer
But instead...
I Google you
Amanda your chords and melody made me cry too, its gorgeous. xo
Just spent Valentines alone. This song then appears in my "Recomended For You". Too damn accurate, UA-cam, too damn accurate LOL
Damn Neil anything you write makes. me. cry. everytime. Amanda you are beautiful. A Peas and carrots you both are.
She is so beautiful. I adore the facial expressions she pulls when she sings.
I came here after i watched jinxs monsoons' version. 😉
Wait jinkx monsoon has a version?? Thanks time to go look that up!!
HAHA ! Me too. I've been in a jinx UA-cam vibe today I love her
Oh, it's so beautiful and adorable and true and neil and amanda and oh my god.
neil gaiman freakin rocks!
neil is amazing and so are the dresden dolls
I am sooo happy for the two of them! They make a wonderful couple!
Neil and Amanda: Officially the greatest celebrity couple ever. They are just fucking adorable.
I dare anyone to find a better suited couple than these two. They make me so happy. =)
i love this song with a passion
love the setting as well!
Congrats, Amanda and Neil!
neil gaiman is the very definition of "awesome".
Great song!
god damn i LOVE Amanda
I can only hope they will collaborate more in the future.
I saw this in the related videos box and shouted "WHAT?" so loudly. I thought my interests in Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer were freakishly distant. Man, am I out of the loop.

goddam i love it

Now this is what Neil meant when he said 'make good art'.
Amanda should be mine, MINE! No other man may have her. 'Cept Viggie.
@bacchante1
wtf are you talking about.
its a win win situation either way. i dont know if you noticed, but in the last 5 years or so, COUGAR/MILF is now "in" and accepted.
welcome to 2005.
The do make a talented couple.
10 people don't know how to google someone.
@tsyrlb Hey, it was YOUR catchphrase I went with, so if you want a better one, come up with it. :-p I know some people in older/younger, too, and not only do they get looks, sometimes there's flak. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt as far as this -- maybe it depends on where you live.
lyrics?..
lyrics: letras.mus.br/amanda-palmer/1379586/
@breedak You can be a bisexual woman and still marry a man and the word can still be meaningful. After all, it's all about love.
@drewbowden BOSTONIAN GODS EVEN. 8D yessss.
@meowmeowkazoo Well they do live together. So all that we need to do is get them into a gigantic transparent bubble.
antony hegarty and her must make a record together
@35xSeries I personally think it's absurd to really care much about the fellah's personal life...and I bet he might feel the same way. Who cares about the details of his relationship status? His literature is what is significant....everyone go read a book!
@cherrybombchick666 He has an ex-wife and kids. And how he's married to Amanda.
@tsyrlb You know exactly WTF I am talking about. Cougars and MILFs work if you're famous, or look like Demi Moore. It doesn't work for the everyday person on the street, Mom-dating-son's-friends. Welcome to 2011, where things haven't changed much since 1911.
your right,she's doing a rufus wainwright knockoff.but what the fart,at least she's trying.
Is she channelling Rufus Wainwright?
@steelstrings87 No, it sucks. It means Neil is off the market...for now. :-p
@koriina Unfortunately, that formula breaks down along gender lines.

@dhardtofind eyebrows? what eyebrows?xD
I google the Cat in the Hat >
@MsHypatia1 It doesn't matter! ... just trolling a little.
but really. it doesn't matter. :)
@meowmeowkazoo well... they ARE married...... so getting them together for the kidnapping shouldn't be that hard.
Isn't it though?
@meowmeowkazoo
they're married to each other, you know
Shit, I'm doing this.
@jungrobot Umm... Neil and his wife separated a long time ago and it had nothing to do with Amanda Palmer. He is still very much a part of his children's lives. Apparently you're not much of a fan of the man as much as the work since you don't seem to know shit about him.

What is wrong with her eyebrows?
i want to be part of their marriage. i just do.
i after hiddin frum da kuntz
LOL Stocking is funner thanks to Google
@ FauxFurz You would have truly loved him, you would have followed him. Shame on you
@mypantsRoff Mmmmm cat turds
lol, no thats not true. i dont know how else to say it but that way. i dont know how to argue you except that off the top of my head i know a handful of people in older woman/younger man relationship. nobody gives two looks about it either. and yeah, a shitload has changed since 1911, get a better catchphrase dude.
how frightening is this? ugh...
oh my.. she just screwes up EACH AND EVERY note... awful, this could be gorgeous.. Piano is amazing though......
bad
@steelstrings87 perhaps a little stranger too... which isn't bad of course.
I love how he looks at her.
This feels so much sadder now than it did then
One of my dreams is to be their neighbor, go ask for sugar and stuff. Play scrabble together, maybe pictionary. I'll always lose but I'll be glad about it.
oh my god the way he looks at her like she's the greatest thing in the world (which she is) UGH I JUST LOVE THEM.
I like Amanda singing this song better then Neil. I mean Neil is a good singer but just fits Amanda better.
Because Amanda is actually a singer lol
@@kurbaga6041 Neil 's also a muscua
It is immensely sad to see that, after watching someone so talented passionately share that talent with the world, people are moved to comment mostly about the how the artist pencilled in her eyebrows. Human beings do not deserve this thing called art.
This is such an amazingly powerful yet understated song. As well as a great collaboration between two great artists.
My favorite singer and my favorite author. I cannot believe this exists. I want to kidnap them and force them to live together in a gigantic transparent bubble so that I can always watch them and love them and keep them forever. MINE!
I love the way he looks at her. Adorable.
And this is a legit torch song! Such genius.
Neil Gaiman, back for more tears!
Amanda is only a fair singer, though she has great spirit. I’d love to hear this song sung by a female who is a great singer.
I’m relieved somebody finally said it. I’m a fan of the Dresden Dolls and think Amanda is obviously talented, but when I’ve brought up her weak vocals to other fans they simply cannot accept.
I've been waiting for years for one of the people I stalk to ask me how I found out about that thing they posted so I can burst out into song. This song.
"It’s a song I wrote, about what people do late at night after a bad break-up…" - Neil Gaiman

@ciaranrr I knew that Neil Gaiman had gotten married to a woman he calls "Mandy" but I had NO IDEA it was *this* Mandy.
@GoldenQuiet Molestation =/= a joke. I agree that she's fantastic! But please never to be molesting
Neil and Amanda porn would be him perpetually writing songs for her to sing...
cute ^_^
Can I have both of them please? Like right now?
This song is so funny and so very very sad at the same time
these guys are the next ben folds and nick hornby.
@UnanimousCowherd no they're not
her eyesbrows are melting off.
Does anyone have the lyrics?
I did all that :(
Two deliciously dark and brilliant people get together.
Proof that true love exists. The best fucking proof ever.
Reminds me of a great pic on Google I found, of Amanda and Death (from Sandman), singing about Death while Neil watches on lol.
Their both Badassness Personified!! after hearing this song and seeing them together my coolness meter just came....
Engaged! :)
They *are* married.
