i can’t believe she’s gone. i can’t believe it’s over. she was great. she did so much for the music world, but as a trans person who makes music, her existence was so comforting.
NO CUZ WHY DO THE CRAP HEADPHONE BE MAKING SHIT SOUND BETTER. I had a song (Nisemono Chuuiho. - (Bko cover)) that sounded wayy better on crappy headphones
SOPHIE's sense of humor really shined through here. It's an uncomfortable raising of awareness about how plastic we appear to each other through social media, but also she had this tripped out "Under The Skin" vibe. She seemed to know how to poke some fun and ridiculousness into the whole ordeal. Love you SOPHIE, rest in power!
@@Hyacinth77 It’s a way of saying they were independent. Instead of looking at death as “She’s gone”and being miserable about it, it’s thinking about it as she’s still doing something great in the afterlife.
i think the message is the exact opposite - more of a question of whether or not authenticity even means anything. if ur achieving who you desire to be through plastic surgery, isn’t that authentic?
i’m literally crying. never felt this way about an artist passing away, but sophie really meant something to me and all of us. an absolute icon in the hyperpop community. you will be missed😭❤️
My sincere condolences to the family, friends, and all of you amazing fans🌹I am just finding out about this brilliant artist today...but I am already a fan🔥💕
Now this reminds me of Sophie's face. She died in 2021, in Athens, Greece. Sophie wanted to take a picture of the full moon but she slipped and fell three buildings and died. It was an accidental fall. R.I.P Sophie, you will live forever. IM CRYING- 😢
I managed to scare my 9 year old brother with this music video. Older siblings everywhere take notes. (Rest in peace sophie. The world is worse without you)

SOPHIE was a huge inspiration to me, and this all just doesn't even feel real. Missing her already, and I'll cherish her music forever.

i might be stating the obvious but i love the way she mixes up the words face, shop, front and real is as if to say that we’re blurring the lines between what is a front and what is real, or what is “shopped” or what is an actual face. i think my high school english teachers would be proud :’)
Thanks for explaining this i kinda knew there was some kinda meaning to it i just couldn't put my finger on it. Artful meaning to an artful song,with an artful video i love it.
This is the first time I’ve heard of Sophie and I have to admit that I’m not really into her music, but I can’t deny that the amount of talent and creativity she had was absolutely insane. Hands down the most original artist of our generation.
every time an artist dies people are like 'they were so talented'. I love sophie's music but it just pisses me off how everyone acts the same after an artist's passing.
*FOR ANYONE WITH PHOTOSENSITIVE EPILEPSY THIS VIDEO ISNT A GOOD IDEA TO WATCH* pls get this comment to the top because the video doesn’t have the warning.
Broke all the rules, pushed further then most could even understand or appreciate, unbelievably good, absolute visionary. Too young, too soon. RIP SOPHIE
I didn't really listen to SOPHIE before today, but somehow, after hearing a good third of her discography, I feel...shattered knowing that she's passed. I'm near tears because this was a woman of talent, of beauty, of creativity, and she's gone; just like that. From one practitioner of spirituality to another, I'll keep you in mind on the full moon, SOPHIE - rest in power, babes 🕯️♥️
She graduated from this world, she was too ahead of her time, the universe just knew she had to be somewhere better, somewhere higher. RIP Sophie ❤️ see you in the higher life
I used to think this was SOPHIE’s critique of artificiality and the sheer silliness of plastic surgery, and perhaps that’s still a valid lens through which to see this song, but I recently changed my view. I get the feeling that Faceshopping is really about the importance of reclaiming one’s right to transform oneself, from physical modifications or to abstract re-orientations of the self. See, us people who don’t fit into society’s categories of what is normal have always been chastised for not following the mold; as if our very existence is a violation, something incorrect and deplorable. Maybe Faceshopping isn’t about “plastic surgery bad and shallow!” But maybe SOPHIE wanted to take out the moral burdens associated with changing our bodies, and instead show there’s an overlooked empowerment angle to being able to decide how you want your body to be, (my face is the front of shop), how you want it to be seen (my face is the real shop front), and have your body, including its adjustments (my shop is the face I front) to be accepted as valid (I’m real when I shop my face), despite how people around you view plastic surgery.
It’s not just empowerment, the whole vibe of the song is her portraying herself as a mad scientist, demonstrating how much power and utter control she has over the human form. If frankenstein is what a mortal scientist could make, then SOPHIE’s form is what a god can create.
I agree. I've always seen this as the line between personal interest, making the brand, and fitting into the world. Many trans folk are against plastic surgery because they feel it leaves both the cis and trans people who don't fit into the "acceptable" bone structure in the dust. If you can just reface yourself, what's there to natural beauty either? But beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and the only beholder that _should_ matter (even if it feels like it isn't) is you. "I'm real when I shop my face" is a personal expression to me. But that's my interpretation.
Great start! Next you’ll realize that she’s speaking on the commodification of beauty. You can manufacture and purchase beauty to then use to sell products (my face is the real shop front). Think Kylie Jenner. Especially knowing SOPHIE’s other work and interviews, you will see that she’s embracing the culture of consumerism. Her album arts are all done in the style of white-background amazon product photos. It’s not irony or satire... it’s honest and subversive.
I feel so bad, because I just decided to start listening to her music. This is the first time I've thought of a pop song as heavy, like heavier than some metal. Sophie was such a good artist!
English:She would laugh a lot if she saw the comments saying "Queen never cry" Since she herself made "it's okay cry" Or She would be angry at people associating the song with that. Brazil: Ela riria muito se vê se os comentários botando "Queen Never Cry" sendo que ela fez "it's okay cry" ou estaria brava também pelo povo só está associando a isso
Beyond just the commentary on the way social media distorts reality, the song to me very much so carries the theme that the changes we make to our bodies as trans people do not make us any less authentic and instead bring us closer to who we truly are. This is most clearly shown by the lines "I'm real when I shop my face So you must be the one That I've seen in my dreams."
LYRICS: My face is the front of shop My face is the real shop front My shop is the face I front I'm real when I shop my face Artificial bloom Hydroponic skin Chemical release synthesize the real Plastic surgery Social dialect Positive results Documents of life Oh Nana-nana-nana-nana Nana-nana-nana-nana-na Na-na-na-na-na Na-nana-nana My face is the front of shop My face is the real shop front My shop is the face I front I'm real when I shop my face Scalpel, lipstick, gel Action, camera, lights Violence in your heart Memories of love professor?

Sophie died at around 04:00 local time on 30 January 2021, aged 34, at Attikon University Hospital in Athens, Greece, following an accidental fall from a balcony. A senior official in the Athens Police confirmed that the artist fell from the rooftop of a three-storey building while attempting to take a photograph of the full moon. Sophie's girlfriend said that "it took the police and fire brigade around 90 minutes to get [Sophie] out" before their arrival to the hospital where Sophie died. Many artists, including Rihanna, Sam Smith, Vince Staples, Charli XCX, A. G. Cook, cupcakKe, and Christine and the Queens, expressed condolences.
Why the fuck did it take 90 minutes? I heard it was hard to get to her because she fell in a parking lot, but still, how is it hard to get into a parking lot??? If there isn’t a clear explanation then it’s giving Diana level of fishiness
@@l.gaga5508it could due to the paramedics suspecting a neck injury, which is common after a fall of such severity. Moving her would’ve paralyzed or killed her, so they tried to be careful, maybe too careful, unfortunately
I want to be clear and say I'm not making an edgy joke, but this has been worrying me since I found out. Do we know it was an accident? It feels very.... I'd hate to think she would hurt herself, but ..... Did she? I have to ask.... 🙁

I felt that
IM CRYING 🤣
But it doesn’t theirs actual lyrics
@@barrydabee6752 no shit
It really hit me in the guts
Shit wuz tight.
i might be stating the obvious but i love the way she mixes up the words face, shop, front and real is as if to say that we’re blurring the lines between what is a front and what is real, or what is “shopped” or what is an actual face. i think my high school english teachers would be proud :’)
Thanks for explaining this i kinda knew there was some kinda meaning to it i just couldn't put my finger on it. Artful meaning to an artful song,with an artful video i love it.
Just learned she passed three minutes ago. So I'm listening to her music to pay tribute. R.i.p artist
How did she die
@L No, I'm pretty sure she fell off a balcony at a hotel she was staying at accidentally.
@L it was her apartment building's roof
@L Mountain? I thought it was a balcony... Dumbass.
@L I'm surprised you responded after 7 months.

This is the first time I’ve heard of Sophie and I have to admit that I’m not really into her music, but I can’t deny that the amount of talent and creativity she had was absolutely insane. Hands down the most original artist of our generation.
same
As a music producer i have to tell you i cant begin to imagine how most of these sounds were made. Im sure im not the only one that thinks this.
yeah i agree with you
you're only saying this because she's dead
every time an artist dies people are like 'they were so talented'. I love sophie's music but it just pisses me off how everyone acts the same after an artist's passing.
my grandma liked this so much she started dancing on the floor
HELP 💀
So funny 😑😑😑😑😑 wow 😑😑😑😑

excuse me?
i didn’t expect QUEEN NEVER CRY
Many people synthesize and sculpt their drum sounds and beats - but no one has ever done it like Sophie. Incredible song and unparalleled production.
i wonder if prince ph*lip listened to this before he collapsed
No I think he drank listerine mouth wash.

I didn't really listen to SOPHIE before today, but somehow, after hearing a good third of her discography, I feel...shattered knowing that she's passed. I'm near tears because this was a woman of talent, of beauty, of creativity, and she's gone; just like that.
From one practitioner of spirituality to another, I'll keep you in mind on the full moon, SOPHIE - rest in power, babes 🕯️♥️

@UCOlB68S6wM9E4iGQLJ4AJfw GOD BLESS YOU!
I used to think this was SOPHIE’s critique of artificiality and the sheer silliness of plastic surgery, and perhaps that’s still a valid lens through which to see this song, but I recently changed my view.
I get the feeling that Faceshopping is really about the importance of reclaiming one’s right to transform oneself, from physical modifications or to abstract re-orientations of the self. See, us people who don’t fit into society’s categories of what is normal have always been chastised for not following the mold; as if our very existence is a violation, something incorrect and deplorable. Maybe Faceshopping isn’t about “plastic surgery bad and shallow!” But maybe SOPHIE wanted to take out the moral burdens associated with changing our bodies, and instead show there’s an overlooked empowerment angle to being able to decide how you want your body to be, (my face is the front of shop), how you want it to be seen (my face is the real shop front), and have your body, including its adjustments (my shop is the face I front) to be accepted as valid (I’m real when I shop my face), despite how people around you view plastic surgery.
It’s not just empowerment, the whole vibe of the song is her portraying herself as a mad scientist, demonstrating how much power and utter control she has over the human form. If frankenstein is what a mortal scientist could make, then SOPHIE’s form is what a god can create.
@@nigelthornberry5375 Love that
I agree. I've always seen this as the line between personal interest, making the brand, and fitting into the world. Many trans folk are against plastic surgery because they feel it leaves both the cis and trans people who don't fit into the "acceptable" bone structure in the dust. If you can just reface yourself, what's there to natural beauty either? But beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and the only beholder that _should_ matter (even if it feels like it isn't) is you. "I'm real when I shop my face" is a personal expression to me. But that's my interpretation.
@@GuiSmith this thread reminds me of an interview she did for billboard where she was quoted as saying "transness is about taking control"
Great start! Next you’ll realize that she’s speaking on the commodification of beauty. You can manufacture and purchase beauty to then use to sell products (my face is the real shop front). Think Kylie Jenner.
Especially knowing SOPHIE’s other work and interviews, you will see that she’s embracing the culture of consumerism. Her album arts are all done in the style of white-background amazon product photos. It’s not irony or satire... it’s honest and subversive.

I wish I discovered Sophie before she left the earth. Rest in Power Sophie you will always be remembered 💙💖🤍💖💙
Beyond just the commentary on the way social media distorts reality, the song to me very much so carries the theme that the changes we make to our bodies as trans people do not make us any less authentic and instead bring us closer to who we truly are.
This is most clearly shown by the lines

So you must be the one

Sophie died at around 04:00 local time on 30 January 2021, aged 34, at Attikon University Hospital in Athens, Greece, following an accidental fall from a balcony. A senior official in the Athens Police confirmed that the artist fell from the rooftop of a three-storey building while attempting to take a photograph of the full moon. Sophie's girlfriend said that "it took the police and fire brigade around 90 minutes to get [Sophie] out" before their arrival to the hospital where Sophie died. Many artists, including Rihanna, Sam Smith, Vince Staples, Charli XCX, A. G. Cook, cupcakKe, and Christine and the Queens, expressed condolences.
@Sasha_Uchyonova others don't. Not everything is about you. I found this very interesting.
Why the fuck did it take 90 minutes? I heard it was hard to get to her because she fell in a parking lot, but still, how is it hard to get into a parking lot??? If there isn’t a clear explanation then it’s giving Diana level of fishiness
@@l.gaga5508it could due to the paramedics suspecting a neck injury, which is common after a fall of such severity. Moving her would’ve paralyzed or killed her, so they tried to be careful, maybe too careful, unfortunately
I want to be clear and say I'm not making an edgy joke, but this has been worrying me since I found out. Do we know it was an accident? It feels very.... I'd hate to think she would hurt herself, but ..... Did she? I have to ask.... 🙁
I wonder what cupcake said
