    Recently found Amanda through her TED Talk and so grateful that I did. Fell in love with her and her music. One of the few songs I've listened to so far and definitely gonna have this one on repeat for the next month or so. Video reminds me of a painting... don't know what it's called, but search up Mogwai - Take Me Somewhere Nice. 😃

    • @Grimosaur
      @Grimosaur 8 років тому +7

      I don't know if you know this but this isn't her song, it's a cover of the song No Surprises by Radiohead, but it's still a great cover anyway. Though the video is a bit more depressing than the original as the water doesn't even come back down!

    • @aneffortlesssmile
      @aneffortlesssmile 8 років тому

      I honestly didn't know this was a Radiohead song until now, so thanks! I must admit I prefer Amanda's cover over the original. And I agree with you on that last bit, I feel a bit claustrophobic whenever I watch this.

    • @marinunoli

    " The pain, so unexpected and undeserved had for some reason cleared away the cobwebs. I realized I didn't hate the cabinet door, I hated my life... My house, my family, my backyard, my power mower. Nothing would ever change; nothing new could ever be expected. It had to end, and it did. now in the dark world where I dwell, ugly things, and surprising things, and sometimes little wondrous things, spill out in me constantly, and I can count on nothing."
    -Bob Arctor; A Scanner Darkly
