This song will forever be one of my favourite songs from her. So captivating and well made
I'v been a fan since Molokai,knew the remix to this very well.But this video is scary good.Probably my favourite music video tbh....still no sure what's actually gone on.
mine too,
A crime that this album did not win the Mercury Music Prize. It was clearly the best offering...
This album is her masterpiece. I mean she's still doin' good but this record will probably be a "forever underrated".
Agree it’s even better than Roisin Machine
I don't know how to compare. this album set off a creative fire that is still raging as far as I'm concerned.
@Peter Piper • 32 years ago 💯. I was just listening to it again, and I think it’s an heir(ess) to Kate Bush’s creativity.
Hairless Toys is not an easy record. Let’s be honest. You have to be really patient with it. But it is her most underrated
One of the best tracks of the last few years. Absolute blinder 😍
How is this not more popular? This came on randomly the other day and it stopped me in my tracks. Discovered this song a week ago but have played it about 25 times. The last 2-3 minutes are literally-just- no words can describe it
Most people like music that is easy for their brains to understand. Róisín Murphy is more of an intellectual channeled music. Unfortunately most people are stupid, afraid of anything different, & don’t like things that require thought to understand.
I hardly ever make any comments on the youtube...but I could not keep it to myself you know ....
I mean, a full-time clown-esse, a profound composer, a poet, a psychologist, such an ironic visionnaire, now a sublime director, and just a small detail- a fashion trend setter .... Female David Bowie, David Lynch, Fassbinder.... WHAT A HUMAN BEING! ^_^
AGREED ❤️❤️😘
Agreed!
"Female David Bowie"
Nailed it. ...and obvsly still holds up
With no doubt Unputdownable is the climax of Hairless Toys, fantastic atmosphere and impecable lyrics.
Still gives me that same feeling as when I first heard it on headphones in a park in Thailand last May. Played it so loud and just let the tears steam down my face for no reason at all. Just pure emotion. Thank you Róisín. Come back to NYC!!!! We adore you.
Sublime happiness starting at 2:56. An amalgamation of transcendent chill beats, guitar, and vocals.
That's the climax. =]
This song reminds me of my amazing, gentle, and sweet old friend, who disguised himself as a cat, but he really wasn't.
I still cry. This song is so perfect.
As always, Roisin Murphy is as brilliant a lyricist as she is a composer/ musician/ singer/ fashion dragon.
(One of) the most creatively complex, artfully understated and diverse/interesting solo artists in "popular" music of the last 2 decades. Róisìn and her collaborators know how to plug into our universal microbiome and bring back realign beats, concepts, visuals, rhythm and phrasing that most artists out there sacrifice to the monotony of fame, fortune and fashion. Her song and accompanying video 'Simulation' says it all.
You can all keep your Adele! Give me Róisín and lots of her!
+Roland Baldwin she is a bloody fucking genius and underrated in all aspects of her art...people look to the ridiculous human being Kim Kardashian as a style icon and this woman naturally oozes art
+Brian Sawyer She's a true artist. That was her chosen career, before music. Lady Gaga took a LOT of pointers from her style in the beginning. Others copied her as well. She's 1 of a kind! Lady Gaga vs RMurphy- 29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kocht8e7xm1qzfs30o1_r1_500.jpg
Flash Cat yes! Very true. It is amazing how she gets such little recognition when she is when of the few truly visionary artists and cheap 2nd rate mimics get all the glory. But in the end I suppose glory is not what she is after....
+Flash Cat lol those comparisons are reaching, both wearing similar hats and holding a disco ball is enough to be considered copy, really? lol But ngl, Roisin has an amazing and more sophisticated style.
That was unnecessary. Adele and Gaga are both talented too.
One of the few innovative music artists out there. This is very good.
This is my favorite song on the album. The most beautiful song of 2015!! This was also her strangest music video yet. Not quite what I was expecting for such a heartfelt song. However, as with all of them, it is visually captivating. Love her dress!
good Lord. How great is this? Restraint, elegance, fun, melody, art, literature, cinema, pop star, artist, audience. She's seducing us with her charm, pop culture sorcery and sparkling ideas, just as a novelist pulls us in and delights with a story you can't put down. (Or a filmmaker does with cinema.) And those looks into the camera!
So beautiful, it makes me weep.
Róisín Murphy for president of the world!!!
+daavichon.....
+daavichon Presiwhat? QUEEN of the World !! There's a difference :
"Why does this woman is not the Queen of the World" was a comment that I see years ago in another video and that guy was right.
Or at least of my imagination.
This video is extremely well made, I felt like I was watching a movie, my God. The music is beautiful...if you let me
I mean… everything Róisín is brilliant, but this is my absolute no.1. It’s timeless magnetic charm is indescribable, and its certain simplicity transformes into it’s captivating and immesurable beauty pretty much uncompareable to anything else. And with each listening it just gives me an absolute bliss.
this is top five favorite records ever
When Roisin directs a music video you really don't know what to expect, other than feeling oddly satisfied.
+Benson Clark
A big inspiration for that video was the work of german director Rainer Werner Fassbinder, especially "Lola".
+Joshua Regitz So I guess there are two ways to spell that name: Fassbinder and Fassbender (as in Michael).
+Benson Clark I agree! And how sublime.
fuck! this woman! Going hard with the surrealist Italian film influences and I'm loving every gorgeous scene!
For me one of her best tracks up to today. She's a poet.
A quiet place to sit
A little light to see
Some time to read
Is really all I need
You're unputdownable
A story so confounding
The pages turn so easily
You are my favourite book
And I like to spend my time
I'm fully occuplied
Reading betweet the lines
You're unputdownable
A plot that's so unpredictable
That I read on complacently
Well I'm left in confusion
By your epilogue
Where is the conclusion
A narrative arc
Well it's just been enthralling
The disbelief suspended
On top, standing still
No myth or fairy tale
Will ever be quite the same
No moral to the story
You only go down in a blaze of glory
You're unputdownable
A fable so fantastical
I've learned to ready voraciously
And when at last I come to the end
I turn back to page one and again
Pour over every word
Beautiful and absurd
You're unputdownable
A story so astounding
Could only be the truth you see
Well I don't like intrusions
And if I had my way
I'd close the door behind me
And they'd all melt away
I'd open up the book and
Climb right out of the town
If you'd let me
If you'd be so kind
If you'd allow me
To read your mind
If you'd let me
If you'd be so kind
If you'd allow me
To read your mind
To read your mind
To read your mind
To read your mind
To read your mind
To read your mind
To read your mind
thankssss
Yes, even without music, this is poetry.
You are very wellcome to read my mind😀
Absolute masterpiece thank you 😎🎸🥁
I love you Róisín! You are the greatest, this song is stunning and gives me chills. There is no music like yours.
"Well, I'm left in confusion
by your epilogue
Where is the conclusion?
A narrative arc
Well, it's just been enthralling
The disbelief suspend
On top, standing still..."
Brilliant. One of the best things I've ever discovered. Flippin' brilliant.
Shes as far removed from the fucking X-Factor you could possibly get. Does her own thing, sets her own agenda. She's a powerhouse Queen Midas.
I just love the fashion from this album. Roisin Murphy is my WCW.
This song is as close to perfection as I think I will ever get.
THAT...BASSSS (LINEEE)!!!!! ...god...daaamn
+Dani Robnik where? show me!
TK86
the new paradigm of music ... she is ...indeed...I love all she produces, performs, composes...the truth, you see...incredible she is...
Roisin Murphy is proper!!!!
this woman is so underated she time after time brings out blinding songs well overdue a mercury
Great song, cannot stop listening
I just discovered Murphy sick dope artist!
Check out her previous band...Moloko
Thanks Luv I had been listening to some of their work as well, adding her to my pandora list. Thanks for letting me know Luv Peace and Light!
Roisin is damn magical. Loving this album so much.
Very intricate and seemingly indecipherable video. From 2:55 and onward I really feel the video syncs with the lyrics, music and voice over. It's very beautiful. For those of you who might feel the video is too abstract, I can point you to a couple of areas of interest; modern German and Italian cinema (50's-80's) are especially evident as heavy influences. The song itself is about the correlation between literature and human interaction (in very broad terms). Therefor the video might also be drawing on specific characters from European literature as well, although this might be too much of an assumption on my part.
The video is still very cinematic in its composition and thematic material though. See for example the structural effect of the very first sequence and the very last; These revolve around the camera being present, as well as the time stamp included above when the camera comes into focus, and the thing our female lead whispers in the ear of the camera operator (or literal film maker) - whereas the inner projection of the image is evoked and the circle completed when added to the lyrics of reading someone's mind (in which the film, in this meta-structure, is also being reviewed in both German AND Italian).
I myself see two very specific sources for inspiration: the cinema of Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Federico Fellini. I hope that might serve as inspiration - because these directors are definitely worth the trouble of making the acquaintance :)
Not much Fellini, as Bertolucci in movies like Novevento and The Conformist
It's "Beware of a Holy Whore" by Fassbinder.
amazing ty
Roisin is the great artist. I went to Moloko concert some years ago and she was great.
Fassbender 2015. Love it
this video is so in Almodovar style.. Love!
Entirely arresting as always! Come back to NYC!
#adultmaterialC4 brought me here. A beautiful song for a beautiful scene. Had me in tears 🙈❤️
Me too. Wonderful series, wonderful song
Dear Roisin, I would like to thank you ever so much for your amazing songs and creative videos, you are such a gift, I have been following your career since MOLOKO. You never fatigued me. Your songs gave me strength in my daily routine. PS: Each time I am having diner with my friends at Zedel, I think of you ever since... Best Wishes to you. DDB. xxx
She is second to none...I love her...that's it...she is someone else, rather a trend in music...
outstanding vid, every scene is packed with interpretations and creative decisions that break conventions all around
I'm pretty sure that I'm responsible for about half of the 500 thousand views and I'm not slowing down!
So many twists and turns on this album, very well executed. Loves it.
Still obsessed
No 1 on my playlist!! Luv her!!
La mejor canción del álbum junto con Evil Eyes. Eres genial.
I'm madly in love with it!
i see my prayers for this to get a video have been answered.
Inspiring, atypical... I broadcasted her songs to some friends who like that kind of music. She deserves 1M+ views
Wonderful! What a clever song!!
How u win the Mercury Roisin you deserve it. The album is just brilliant, well done, your like a breath of fresh air 😋
Stunning conclusion on the narrative of "Hairless Toys " Trailers
COME TO MÉXICO, eres increible, saludos desde MEXICO!

You really are a fantastic director! I know you've had to have heard this? Simply amazing ❤️❣️
could listen to roisin nonstop
this is the show of your life
Progressive pop art...once again with Roisin Murphy... i feel like we're nearly in '77 again...but not quite that either...
She's got a place on her own in a peculiar space n' time
She's insane
Wow! What a great song.
This Songs Is Marvelous
so fab! I watched this video and have connotation with Lynch and Fassbinder too!
the Queen is only one - just you Miss Murphy
I wish I'd have a day with Roisin when she'd be able to tell me all her videos meaning.
100%GORGEOUSLOVE!!!
This song is fucking brilliant.
glorious you are, Roisin...unputdownable a creature you are...
Quel genio della Roisin! Love it!
Beautiful ! Thank you !
Amazing album!
Una guida per sognatori verso la realtà!!
Roisin the princess of the universe
The Tom Demac remix of this is one of my favourite songs of all time
Achingly beautiful
Loved this, great work!
I can't turn it off!
Go see her perform this (and every other) song live and you know that music can make you high as a kite. Don't do drugs kids!
NEXT LEVEL.
One of the best
A classic
Nice tribute to “Daisies” ❤😄
Wonderful song. Freaky vintage cool video
I LOVE THE 80´S STETIC
The best and only!!! Less fame than Madonna but much better
Why compare. They are completely different and from different generations too. Madonna is awesome in her own way.
@@agnesm_23 why not compare. Madonna has achieved a lot, but I also agree Roisin is easily the better artist. a much better singer too.
I want this to be played at my funeral
I'm an idiot. I promise to listen more. Better late than ever. But oh such moments I've lost.
2023 we are are still at it...❤❤❤
For myself.. "Roisin is the best female artist of this century"!!
Awesome record
pure ART
this visual is such a serve!
!!!! This, love it
The Queen of Roisim
Best song on album
