Saw her last week in Philadelphia. She said between songs: "It's a strange thing, giving strangers everything...I wouldn't do it if I didn't think it was worth it."
I think "I drove my inner child to a show, we talked all the way home" has got to be one of my favorite lyrics of all time. Idk why but it really resonates with me.
I've always been blown away by her writing. Her lyricism is so refined and precise, like sculpting stone with water. The same goes for her performances. She is an artist with the word, the music, the theater, and the visual art of all of her music videos. She is supernatural. And this song is right up there with her best ones.
Her art is always sweet and dangerous, creepy and alluring, catchy and strange, simultaneously mainstream and underground. For me it's her combining opposites and the tension between them that makes it so interesting and thought-provoking.
I cannot believe that through my decades with 4AD that they still find immaculate art. Aldous is just immaculate art! A wonder and a heart break. Blown away by this amazing artist! Just incredible!

I've never looked that good in purple. If I had a fruit pastel that size floating near me I simply would not be able to concentrate. I've loved 4AD for decades. This is why.
I watched this video on loop a year ago and find myself returning over and over again. "Do you love me?/Again/Again in the morning in the light" has got to be some of the most devastating lyrics I've ever heard.
@@dedclownsRfunny I feel the "fake" quirkiness in what we see now is coming from the video art which she might not have a lot of influence over. Listening to this project over her last ones, it seems the quirkiness in the voice inflections etc are not happening on this album as they were in the past either.
I recently saw her live in Chicago and got to talk with her after the show. Right before I left, I took her face in my hands and told her "You are beautiful all the way through". She waved her hand and said, "Oh, go on now." Surreal doesn't begin to describe that experience. It was a blessing.
"It was a blessing". There, those are the words I was looking for. I witnessed her live in Cambridge, early 2019; a gig like no other I had ever been to in 40 years or so. Utterly absorbing, fascinating and memorable. But you words are best - a blessing, yes indeed. Her music, she, is a blessing.
I only recently learned of Aldous Harding. I’m currently watching ALL of her videos and downloading ALL of her music. I’ve had the Designer album on repeat since purchasing it. Wow!
This song/video is a beautiful rendition of the genie and the bottle. The spirit of limitless potential escaping the confinement of circumstance. The self choosing the nurturing guiding voice and together concurring the voice of self criticism and doubt.
This artist just keeps getting better.... absolute joy listening and watching her. Seen her in person 3 x now and each time she is more mesmerising than the last. Stunning videos and pure vocals. Such talent.
I was lucky enough to see her live in Atlanta on Saturday, and all I can say is if Aldous comes anywhere near you do what you have to do hear her live. She was incredible.
Agreed, mate...I've seen her three times down here in Melbourne - I think she still lives here - and she's been extraordinary each time. Not everyone's cup of tea though, my girlfriend was unimpressed. Ah well.
@@tobeysmith6425 It's so weird you should say that :) as I saw Aldus a few months back play Cambridge, and my only disappointment was that she didn't play "Fixture Picture"! I assumed it was because the harmonies were really tricky to perform live...... Recent set lists suggest that she's now performing the song, so I'll have to go and see her again (London I guess)... lol ;-) what a drag :)
Dominic Cahalin Weight of the Planets is my fav. And I think it captures the pressure of becoming a global focus of attention in an honest, delicate, human way
I adore both the Designer, and Party Albums a great deal. I shall look forward to watching, and listening to this Premiere come this Tuesday Evening. Some fabulous videos already up here from both Albums. Many Thanks to Aldous Harding for all of her wonderful songs. and to 4AD a great label.
@@4ad_officialHello there I have been trying to get hold of Hannah she has not been using her Facebook group page " Aldous Harding " I'm I right in thinking someone on her behalf runs it ?
Thanks 4AD. I'm really taken by this song and video. It's quite something, and a wonderful addition to Aldous Harding's Zoo Eyes song. I find myself most enchanted. Love the dark masks and bright bubbly coloured make up, not to mention the landscape here.
I dont know what it is about her? Ive been hooked for about a year now and i dont get hooked on much. Oh well. Just gonna go with it. Thank you thank you..ms. Harding
"What am I doing in Dubai?". I understand the concept of feeling adrift, lost, somewhere you shouldn't be, a rock you jumped on and stayed for a minute... It's a mad world, a riotous journey if you're open to just expressing and feeling what's there in the moment... Aldous seems to encapsulate the real and unreal parts of it perfectly. Phenomenal stuff. Just been recommended by a friend!
How can you not love this woman. Hay"it's, the greatest show in life you receive , all love is free " it's the greatest show on earth you shall receive.love it.
My ears and eyes tell me Bowie would have loved Aldous. Just perfect in her own way. Oops I just saw somebody else felt the same thing before me.🙃 Wanted to add, I think the whole album is timeless. Also, I love that all of Aldous' videos are simple, but here's the proof you don't need a big budget to do expressive stuff. If you haven't already watched the older ones, go for "Hunter" and "No peace" and for Marlon Williams' "Strange things" please.
I’ve been all over the world either traveling by plane or with my eyes closed and rare is your brauty. Every land has its own wisdom. Your land must be steeped in great oracles still unknown to humanity.
I just got home from the post office, received the long-awaited CD with the new album Aldous. And then there's such a gift on UA-cam !!! Coincidence? I don’t think so!
Can't get enough of this track. It's the greatest show on earth you shall receive. What wonderful thought out lyrics and very well done. Like it is. Am a new fan from this day forward
Saw her live at the Olympic in Boise Idaho and asked her to sign my vinyl I purchased. She looked at me like a cow looks at an oncoming train and said, “Did you even watch the show...” and walked away. I wish I could return the entire signed album, what a peach she was. @4AD @Aldous Harding
Watch her videos. When she snaps that stare straight into the camera, she can see you, and that's how you're chosen. Till then, maybe look at all the peaches?
I haven't listened to this song in months... saw it in the sidebar; listened... and it was wondrously beautiful. I am so happy to have heard it again. I know, for the next week, I will be singing "what am I doing in Dubai?" Thank you, Aldous
Yep. Aldous proves once again her ability to transcend the simple music video format to an art form rarely seen. She poetically adds layers of meaning, mystery and complexity to her music employing a simple style that is nonetheless entirely captivating. Well done!!❤️👏👏👏
Saw her in Brooklyn recently. See her. She elevated my mood for weeks. From the very first moment she steps out on stage you know you’re on the ride and it makes you giddy.
0:26 is the funniest entrance ever put into a music video - a split second blur of Aldous being chucked into the scene. The whole video seems to be inspired by a mushroom trip. I once ate psychedelic truffles with a friend, and the experience was similar to this video.
this era has some of the most interesting music videos i have seen in a while. The music is also unique itself and this is one of the best songs from the album
man this has been in my head for days now...i keep unconsciously singing it everywhere I go my friends keep saying your doing it again..hahhaha whatever I don't see it stopping anytime soon
I don't know a better artist to bring people together. Just look at all these heartwarming comments. I love Aldous so much❤️ wish to see her live one day
Saw her last week in Philadelphia. She said between songs: "It's a strange thing, giving strangers everything...I wouldn't do it if I didn't think it was worth it."
Yeah she's making bank!
Nice! Saw her at Johnny Brenda's this past April... she was fantastic!
Literati Crux Sh*t just missed her-I could have been there.
Literati Crux totally jealous. I’d love to see her. She’s ridiculously talented in so many ways.
omg i am soooo bummed i missed her im in philadelphia too. she is my icon for this season 2019
I think "I drove my inner child to a show, we talked all the way home" has got to be one of my favorite lyrics of all time. Idk why but it really resonates with me.
Same✌
flora !! Yep
🙃
Resonates here too 🌸
I though she said ‘’…to the shore’’
But yes, agreed… I feel similarly with her lyrics… such beautiful poetry
Hannah - another golden thread connecting NZ and Cymru - straight through the centre of the planet......Fyccin Tydi luv
Wow, so pleased to have discovered a truly unique and quirky artist of this calibre. Wonderful music.
I've always been blown away by her writing. Her lyricism is so refined and precise, like sculpting stone with water. The same goes for her performances. She is an artist with the word, the music, the theater, and the visual art of all of her music videos. She is supernatural. And this song is right up there with her best ones.
In another era she would have been celebrated as one of the great poets battling the dark night of the soul.
Her art is always sweet and dangerous, creepy and alluring, catchy and strange, simultaneously mainstream and underground. For me it's her combining opposites and the tension between them that makes it so interesting and thought-provoking.
Ambivalences
@@skepticonolion5970 that's the word I was looking for....So I used too many :D
@@OleanderProducing my pleasure
That was her plan
Irina I beg to differ, I’m not getting any mainstream here...
I didn't love her at first, I'll admit. . . but the more I immerse into her quirky world, the more I think she's absolutely genius!
Whenever I go down the Aldous Harding rabbit hole I never want to come back up, I could live there forever..
I cannot believe that through my decades with 4AD that they still find immaculate art. Aldous is just immaculate art! A wonder and a heart break. Blown away by this amazing artist! Just incredible!
Kindness is the greatest wisdom... I feel that deeply from this artist. I don’t know when was the last time I felt so comforted by something.
i exactly feel the same about her :D
She embraces her uniqueness in a way not many do. The beauty in her art is its freedom.

This it wat i luv abowt geniuses; they attract geniuses to make big genius. they swim together in the new worlds they make.
When a song starts off with a "Why? What am I doing in Dubai?" It has to be good.
Meaning perhaps that city should have never existed in the first place, I mean for what it is today.
Probablemente depende del dinero que te pagan en el trabajo!!!
I am immensely thankful Aldous Harding exists
Amen
You and and I both❤

Somehow this felt like it lasted for 1 hour and 1 minute at the same time. Absolutely ethereal. Perfect. Inimitable.
I've never looked that good in purple. If I had a fruit pastel that size floating near me I simply would not be able to concentrate. I've loved 4AD for decades. This is why.
700,000 views, completely deserved. Was so fortunate to have seen her with her amazing band last night. They were phenomenal!
I watched this video on loop a year ago and find myself returning over and over again. "Do you love me?/Again/Again in the morning in the light" has got to be some of the most devastating lyrics I've ever heard.
obsessed with how she makes me feel
AJ Baines word.
I fancy her
Aldous has done something that is getting almost impossible to do these days - be utterly unique and compelling.
AMEN TO THAT!
And consistent.
Nothing unique about her, sorry. Insipid falsetto and deliberate (fake) quirkiness has been done to death.
@@dedclownsRfunny We're all entitled to our own opinions. I just wonder, however, why you're here commenting if you despise her so vehemently.

There's something quite hypnotising about all her videos, find myself coming back to them again and again.....
My 6th time watching it today
One of the greatest, original, and true artists out there.
I recently saw her live in Chicago and got to talk with her after the show. Right before I left, I took her face in my hands and told her "You are beautiful all the way through". She waved her hand and said, "Oh, go on now." Surreal doesn't begin to describe that experience. It was a blessing.
That sounds amazing. It' great you got to have that moment with her.
@@Missjunebugfreak yeah I'm jealous

@The Guru of Kang ??? Strange comment.
Saw her both nights there. What an amazing experience. Also went to the show earlier this year.
The pixelated look for the goth makeup is iconic
Yahhh. And her expression with that makeup is so full of like... motherly love. It makes me feel seen and held.
She alternates seamlessly between warm/adoring and cold/emotionless so well, though!
I only recently learned of Aldous Harding. I’m currently watching ALL of her videos and downloading ALL of her music. I’ve had the Designer album on repeat since purchasing it. Wow!

Love how her videos always have an element of eccentricity that catches you off guard in a really good way.
she's so weird and wonderful, we need more people like her!!!
Yep... I'll be watching this a million times just like all the others...
I have to stop trying to understand her and just appreciate and absorb her. ... I'm getting there...
This artist just keeps getting better.... absolute joy listening and watching her. Seen her in person 3 x now and each time she is more mesmerising than the last. Stunning videos and pure vocals. Such talent.

Her Austin show Monday night was a religious experience for me. If I had the means I would follow her around the world.
Turns out she lives in Cardiff (Wales) now...
Yes!
I have quickly become a bit of an obsessed admirer of this woman,like just in the last seven hours
Same happened to me. 😊
ditto
God I love this person. Every damn song blows my skirt back.
It’s phenomenal. Truly.
I'm stuck on her, rarely i come across such talent, she is mesmerizing, fascinating stuff.
YES! I was so hoping we would get a third video from this album.
I was PRAYING that this song got a music video and I was NOT disappointed
Aldous Jodorowsky
Mallet and aforethought...
Nice. Yes
She's really further away...
@Robert Bruce It's a reference to the Chilean director Alejandro Jodorowsky. He seems to feature clowns in all his films.
A more perfect comment does not exist. :D
She knows something we don't.
Yet we recognize it when she says it.
Please, stop your idol worship.
N.Z. Storm Waver It could be a cult against idol-worship, for all you know...
Speak for yourself Scotty :P
She knows where to get lots of 'shrooms
Wow she's beautiful, & has a beautiful voice very talented.
Damn, it's been 5 days and still playing this contageous tune nonstop
I love this singer/person, what a an artist.
No doubt David Bowie must be watching her, smiling, singing along, loving her work.

Es fantástica. David Bowie? Why?

Slowly, steadily, recovering my interest in videos thanks to someone like her.The MTV awards don't know about real video artists!
Aldous, you are beauty.Thank you for this. The video is wonderful !
Meeting this artist has reinforced my hope in the ability of human beings to reinvent themselves and how beautiful their creations can be.
This song is so awesome and hypnotizing. I love it!!!!
"Its the greatest show on earth, you shall receive" could literally be on repeat forever and i'd be like "this is fine."
Saw her in Brooklyn recently. See her. She elevated my mood for weeks. From the very first moment she steps out on stage you know you’re on the ride and it makes you giddy.
She's the art's most terrific dramatic expression nowadays.
As a kiwi, I’ve got to say she represents everything wonderful about this beautiful country.
Thank goodness, still shamanic artists in music ind. this day and age
Authenticity to oneself can be all consuming... thank you for giving so much.

Eric Kent yes also that clown type outfit gives a similar vibe to that album (:
Enchantress. Do not lose your young eyes Aldous.
What I love about this video is that we finally get to see Aldous' face expressing joy that is wide open!
