In my stoner days, whenever I'd be smoking with someone, I'd always play this song. 10/10 times the person would pause, jaw dropped, and demand to know what song this was when the drop hit. Still an all-time fav.
I wanna call this the golden era of iamamiwhoami, I remember I came back from work one night and this video just came out, I watched and saw my life queef before my eyes. Such nostalgia!
I remember arriving late to a festival in 2013 my buddies had talked me into and iamamiwhoami was the first artist we saw on stage on that evening and I remember thinking "what the hell did I get myself into???" Will never forget that weekend.
Agreed. The songs are great but the videos and music together are just so interesting and engaging. The Iamamiwhoami team literally created a world for this character, each song and album expanded the journey with loose narrative drivers leaving much of the story up to the viewer. And all of this is framed by such excellent cinematography, lighting and panoramic views. In my opinion, no other group has pulled this off as well as Yonah and team did with KIN and BOUNTY.
I love the moment when she becomes conscious in the fact that she has allowed herself to meld into the mindset of her captures. She's even dancing with them, trying on their fur and she has become lost and then she becomes terrified at what she has allowed herself to do.
I’ve always seen at as she tried making peace with her inner demons, only to find herself becoming one of them herself and seeing what she had become and loathing it.
I’ve always seen them as her inner demons, visions of those who’ve wronged her, friends, family, a lover. And by the end of her madness after having been abandoned in the field she starts to dance with her demons instead of fighting them, coming to the realization that in the end she’d become just like them.
This song is absolutely epic. The "dance now" idea, and how we are captured by simulating others (dressing like them), then showing up and dancing only to realise eventually that we are surrounded my monsters. "Like a puppet now, I cannot move to my own beat." And then "And to your rhythm I will shout. My love for play." We are all too willing to give ourselves up at times...
I thought she was talking about a relationship she feels like the love is playing with her like a puppet, but she likes it so she let's it happen or something.
its such a good line . when i first heard this song i thought it sounded playful , like she was looking for a partner to dance with . but as an adult , the line is a lot more chilling 😅
+jutjubow No!! That's not what I meant. It became my favorite song from iamamiwhoami. I like to think of myself as quite diverse when it comes to music. It takes a lot for a song to become my favorite. This song simply has a catchy synth rhythm.
+E'mon Harris WTF... you're free to enjoy anything you like... You don't need to explain it out! music is diverse and everyone has a different view on this.
[Verse 1] Moving closer now Your hand just knocked me off my feet Yeah, like a puppet now I cannot move to my own beat [Chorus 1] But I can dance tonight I'll make up songs for us to sing You hold my heart with cotton string And to your rhythm I will shout My love for play [Interlude - Vocalisations] [Verse 2] Take off your hat And pull a rabbit out for me I'm like a lackey now I'll lay on my back, get on my knees I'll lay on my back, get on my, my, my, my, my [Bridge] So I will dance now, dance now Dance now, dance now Dance now, dance now Dance now, dance now [Chorus 2] But I can dance tonight Dance now I'll make up songs for us to sing Dance now, dance now But I can dance You hold my heart with cotton string Dance now, dance now I'll make up songs to sing And to your rhythm I will shout Dance now, dance now My love for play Dance now [Interlude - Vocalisations] Dance now, dance now Dance now, dance now
When kin was released, this song was instantly my favorite and its music video did not arrange anything. Watching this again in 2019 makes me realized that nothing of the beauty of this masterwork is lost
the music paired with the visual effects is just perfection! I've been listening to their music for many years now and iamamiwhoami's stuff is the only kind of music that makes me feel in that special way. I caught myself dancing to their songs like crazy with closed eyes, like I was in another world, but was also crying because of the beauty of their art. I never had those kind of feelings before, it's kind of like a mixture between love, happines compared with sadness, darkness, a mature and artistic sexiness, craziness and a cold or warm feeling caused the temperature of the nature shown in the vids. I never took drugs, but I imagine it could feel like this. My friends don't like them at all unfortunately haha. now typing that comment I think i sound like a weirdo, but that's ok, I just want everybody to know how fantastic iamamiwhoami is
Don't worry, you are not a weirdo, I've feel the same till I listened to her the first time. It was like two years ago with album KIN and still stuck on all of the songs, I've never get tired of them. I feel exactly the same as you, and none of my friends likes her:( we should be friends hahaha
Probably one of my favourite music videos ever, not sure why, it's just so charming to me. Plus the Nordic countries are beautiful. Love all her videos honestly. Thanks to danisnotonfire for introducing me to this wonderful witch all those years ago (lol 2 yrs ago)
This nymph managed to make a departure from her usual sound and made yet another majestic visual and audio experience, appealing to all my senses. forever iamamiwhoami. xxxx
4:36 Something about that part always touches me. She teaches them to dance and rejoice, entertains them, and they start to dance without any regard to her
I ve been watching the video over and over again and every single time my hair stands up. And im coming down to realise that its not just the brilliance of this song, but as well the video art and all the people who worked for all this magnificent outcome. I am pleasantly surprised by human imagination and how endless it can be, when possible. My sincere respects for everyone who has worked on this track, audio and visual. Thanks!
There are not enough words to describe the feelings that this song gives me. There is no limit. It's like I'm everything. As if I had become an atom and could feel not only the totality of myself, but of the universe itself. This feeling is what I believe is the closest to perfection, and yet it would be limiting.
I like how in all her videos she always looks lost and confused but at the same time she looks amazed and bewildered by her surroundings she is seriously so precious
To me this explains her perhaps partying around a strange crowd and at the end finds herself out of place where she doesn't want to be around these people anymore, it speaks to me for I was in a similar situation with people whom may as well looked like wattted matts of fur.
If she was more attractive and young, you know this would have won a Grammy and gone platinum. The only way her music can get the recognition it deserves is if its used in a meme, or a Tik Tok video... Whatever, I'm still enjoying it 7 years later.
I absolutely and deeply love your art. Thank you for making my life a little happier, I can't stop listening to your albums. I love you so much! You're gorgeous!
everytime i listen to this song, i lost my mind, i enter to a brand new world,... its like drug... my skin just get paralized,... and i start to dance like nothing else matters
This is such a beautiful song. All of her work is beautiful. It makes me feel emotions I didn't even know existed. iamamiwhoami will always be in my heart
This song was my favorite 8 yrs ago when fountain premiere. In 2022 this is really cool. Still pretty good, sorry for bad English. Didn't understand why so unpopular today
Ahh the Carpet Monster is back again, and this time it is you. Or at least one of them is you. After seeing your music video for Drops, I was wondering, are all of the Carpet Monsters at the end in the car park, all supposed to be you? Are they all representing your Emotions or Fears or different personalities perhaps? I'd love to know what they represent or mean to you. I love all of your music and find your music videos truly inspirational. Thank you and I look forward to more in the future.
IAMAMIWHOAMI is an audiovisual experience. The albums are concept boards that tell a story. There are themes and symbols, like a riddle or jigsaw puzzle. Jonna Lee is a true artist, creative and daring. And absolutely adore and respect her craft.
Every video from iamamiwhoami talks about love in a tragical way, even the videos shows it! How hard is to find a person, the girl hidden by that man in drops, to have fun with a lot of man but in the end stills alone. Every side of tragical love she shows to us in her videos, sometimes I get sad thinking that Jonna Lee has passed it in real life...
yeah, i totally agree, she's so radiant and unbelievevaly talented in her vocalizations, theres a very stockholm feel to the design and production, it makes me want to move to stockholm
I love that Jonna really looks like she's enjoying herself in this video. What's great about iamamiwhoami is that it's not all about SERIOUS ARTISTE POUTS but that they have a playful side to them, as well.
+gerardo iglesias RIGHT OMG !!? +Too poo No but most of the time, people smoke to relax or at least release the stress by dancing, singing, working out or doing whatever, and this song is perfect to groove you out when you smoke weed, its good vibes makes that you can't help but dance the hell out of your soul and feel overwhelmed by the love coming out of this majestic beat ! But Jonna's songs in general are part of the best songs to smoke to, she's truly got that magic in her voice and art ! (-and heart as well, I believe)
Heard this by chance in pub in SW London, shazaam d it and watched the on here (all songs) . Wow Jonna, songs and videos are mesmerising to say the least (especially 'fountains' ). 👍from me !
![Far Caspian - Between Days [Full Ep]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/qm0ru2iBuB0/mqdefault.jpg)
when her son sees this video, he'll think "She's got a point, she's an icon, she's a legend and she is the moment"
10 years old and still feels fresh!
Holy cow, I did NOT realise it was this old already lol wtf
In my stoner days, whenever I'd be smoking with someone, I'd always play this song. 10/10 times the person would pause, jaw dropped, and demand to know what song this was when the drop hit. Still an all-time fav.
It is indeed an all time masterpiece
SAME she’s my go to stoner music, delicious
well you gotta listen to mick Jenkins “thc” then, it samples this and is an absolutely wavy track
This and ::Made:in:Heights:: were my goto smoking songs circa 2012-2013.
Should give it a listen on psychedelics 🤯
I wanna call this the golden era of iamamiwhoami, I remember I came back from work one night and this video just came out, I watched and saw my life queef before my eyes. Such nostalgia!
superb use of queef
You had me at life queef.....like. holy spirit coming out of the depths of fire.......enraged at herself

I didn't notice it until I saw this comment. So funny 😁

This deserves a grammy

fuck grammy
No it doesn’t; that’s how good it is

As soon as the synth came in, became my favorite song.
+E'mon Harris
You must have some pretty low standards therefore. It's generic. Just good synth is needed to make your favourite song?! Lol.

😀😀😁😁😁😁😱😱😱
@@ap5ll5apollo LOL
This is so beautiful...I try to show people outside of the internet these songs and they just think im weird. How can anyone dislike this?
No empathy maybe 😂
[Verse 1]
Moving closer now
Your hand just knocked me off my feet
Yeah, like a puppet now
I cannot move to my own beat
[Chorus 1]
But I can dance tonight
I'll make up songs for us to sing
You hold my heart with cotton string
And to your rhythm I will shout
My love for play
[Interlude - Vocalisations]
[Verse 2]
Take off your hat
And pull a rabbit out for me
I'm like a lackey now
I'll lay on my back, get on my knees
I'll lay on my back, get on my, my, my, my, my
[Bridge]
So I will dance now, dance now
Dance now, dance now
Dance now, dance now
Dance now, dance now
[Chorus 2]
But I can dance tonight
Dance now
I'll make up songs for us to sing
Dance now, dance now
But I can dance
You hold my heart with cotton string
Dance now, dance now
I'll make up songs to sing
And to your rhythm I will shout
Dance now, dance now
My love for play
Dance now
[Interlude - Vocalisations]
Dance now, dance now
Dance now, dance now
The perfect synthesis of music and video. It looks exactly like it sounds.
Yes this, perfectly this. This is an audiovisual masterpiece
It makes me sad that not more people have watched and listened to this whole album.
i would like your problems
Rest is meh
Just discovered her, and i'm so glad I did.
Ikpç
People be different people with different paths my dude🤙🤙
HOW IS IAMAMIWHOAMI NOT PLATINUM WORLDWIDE YET?? SHE IS GENIUS!
When kin was released, this song was instantly my favorite and its music video did not arrange anything. Watching this again in 2019 makes me realized that nothing of the beauty of this masterwork is lost
gahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
tears to my eyes when this band plays!!!!
they really are fantastic and special....

I discovered it last year and, since then, it has become my favorite band. They make my days happier. :)
You're not a weirdo (I guess). I feel exactly the same way about them.
Don't worry, you are not a weirdo, I've feel the same till I listened to her the first time. It was like two years ago with album KIN and still stuck on all of the songs, I've never get tired of them. I feel exactly the same as you, and none of my friends likes her:( we should be friends hahaha
Why be just a normal person when we can be crazy and change the world!!!
Type in search bar Throw Joy Wes Peden :) It's the most brilliant trailer for a movie, and it has this very song in it... ;)
Such energy and such rare beauty
this is the greatest song ive ever heard in my life, and i have heard alot of stuff
You would most likely really like purity ring then.
This is nothing like purity ring...
Probably one of my favourite music videos ever, not sure why, it's just so charming to me. Plus the Nordic countries are beautiful. Love all her videos honestly.
Thanks to danisnotonfire for introducing me to this wonderful witch all those years ago (lol 2 yrs ago)
I was 9 years old when I first discovered this song, now 19 and it still hits me like a big truck, the nostalgia hits harddd💜💜💜
Sing like no one is listening.
Love like you’ve never been hurt.
Dance like nobody’s watching,
and live like it’s heaven on earth
She's a beast yo!! LoVE this Girl..The voice, the words, the song the video..everything absolutely out of this world beautiful...
This nymph managed to make a departure from her usual sound and made yet another majestic visual and audio experience, appealing to all my senses. forever iamamiwhoami. xxxx
4 years of jamming hard to this song and it's almost at 1 mill views omg my baby is growing up
Over 1 mill now)
The artist with the most BEAUTIFUL videos probably.
I'm still so in love with this... like it was still 2012
4:36 Something about that part always touches me. She teaches them to dance and rejoice, entertains them, and they start to dance without any regard to her
Makes me sick
@@nikkiroxsox001 LMAO
Am I the only one that thinks it's kind of attractive that Dan really likes this song, I just love his music taste.
Who’s here in 2022? 10 years later. Can’t believe this masterpiece is already 10 years old!
☝...👋🙌👏 💛 ✌✊
My favorite song of all time, ten years running.

AMEN
Yesyesyesyes
When the beat dropped it became my favorite song.
Ikr!
It took me years to let this song grow on me but now we are inseparable. This is another masterpiece of Iamamiwhoami.
This is one of my all time favorite music videos. It's beautiful.
I like how in all her videos she always looks lost and confused but at the same time she looks amazed and bewildered by her surroundings she is seriously so precious
This song makes me feel to jump around with a basket of flowers and a flower crown on my head singing LA LA LA LAAA!!
Hahaha!!!
Oh yesssssss ! Crazy 😍
I can't believe it took me this long to discover this treasure!
This is the most happiest iamamiwhoami song.... sarcastically, of course.
a masterpiece! the whole album, the music, the videos... thank you from the heart!
Can't. Stop. Listening!!! D:
This has been one of my favourite songs for over 6 years now💜💜💜💜💙
they used to play this song at All Saints on Miami Beach, I fell in love with it the first time I heard it...
I remember I was soooo in love with someone when this song came out and I listened to it till it makes me sick 😌
Me too.
im glad dan brought me here, shes amazing!
2 Years of sheer brilliance by this music group brought me here. Thank you iamamiwhoami.
this song is probably the best in the album Kin
of*
Loves it. Reminds me of Kate Bush and Eivor. During Suspended in Gaffa. !! Love this song and many more xoxoxo from WI.
To me this explains her perhaps partying around a strange crowd and at the end finds herself out of place where she doesn't want to be around these people anymore, it speaks to me for I was in a similar situation with people whom may as well looked like wattted matts of fur.
So happy that I found you again...
I blame Dan for bringing me here ;-; she's awesome I hope she goes on tour sometime
+salvi no nerd
I love this song and video. One of my favorites by iamamiwhoami. Beautiful voice and awesome style of music.
Is anybody here after the Doja Cat Coachella set??? I straight up thought of kin the second i saw her performance
FACTS why hasn’t anyone else pointed this out??
You have finally experienced that moment that a lucky few of us on this planet experience... discovering really really good music for the first time.
Forever in love with this song.
Whenever i feel the blues kicking in, I turn to this masterpiece for peace and solace ❤❤❤
How many other amazing songs are out there that I’ll never know about
The existentialism crisis associated with finding good songs
I think about this often
Been here listening to her music for 7 years. It made me feel free....
I was just at concert in LA and it was amazinggggg i got touch herr!! So amazing
Her songs just keep getting better and better, I love Play so much I can't even comprehend how she comes up with this stuff.
If she was more attractive and young, you know this would have won a Grammy and gone platinum.
The only way her music can get the recognition it deserves is if its used in a meme, or a Tik Tok video...
Whatever, I'm still enjoying it 7 years later.
I absolutely and deeply love your art. Thank you for making my life a little happier, I can't stop listening to your albums. I love you so much! You're gorgeous!
isso ainda continua muito bom, master
This is my first newly discovered artist of 2022 and I'm addicted

(just marking down the songs I want my future unborn children to listen to when I am deceased or unable to show them)
This is such a beautiful song. All of her work is beautiful. It makes me feel emotions I didn't even know existed. iamamiwhoami will always be in my heart
Yeah... Dan Howell brought me here, no regrets!!

I JUST REMEMBERED THIS SONG EXISTS AAAAAHHHHHH
This song was my favorite 8 yrs ago when fountain premiere. In 2022 this is really cool. Still pretty good, sorry for bad English. Didn't understand why so unpopular today

IAMAMIWHOAMI is an audiovisual experience. The albums are concept boards that tell a story. There are themes and symbols, like a riddle or jigsaw puzzle. Jonna Lee is a true artist, creative and daring. And absolutely adore and respect her craft.
i just saw her in concert a few hours ago, I never cried out of happiness before. It was amazing. She is a wonderful human being
.
É uma obra de ARTE!!
one of my favorite songs and music videos EVER
This woman is a goddess!!!!!
Such a great song!
I've been listening iamamwhoami for 2 years and it still gets me so well
The music video scares the living shit out of me, not going to lie...
Aside from that, the song is extraordinary.
This, Play, Drops, Good Worker, Sever and ;John are my favourite iamamiwhoami songs. I love Jonna Lee.
Have they ever had an interview discussing their music production ( eq habits, processing, instruments (analog of course), etc)? @iamamiwhoami
Every video from iamamiwhoami talks about love in a tragical way, even the videos shows it!
How hard is to find a person, the girl hidden by that man in drops, to have fun with a lot of man but in the end stills alone. Every side of tragical love she shows to us in her videos, sometimes I get sad thinking that Jonna Lee has passed it in real life...
This song is soo powerful
yeah, i totally agree, she's so radiant and unbelievevaly talented in her vocalizations, theres a very stockholm feel to the design and production, it makes me want to move to stockholm
This is delicious.
ha ha ha ha ha
Sure this is!
I love that Jonna really looks like she's enjoying herself in this video. What's great about iamamiwhoami is that it's not all about SERIOUS ARTISTE POUTS but that they have a playful side to them, as well.
Why does this remind me of 'Where the wild things are'?
I THOUGHT INWAS THW ONLY ONE OMG😝😝😝
Now I know I'm not alone on that😆
This song never gets old. I can't believe it's almost been a year since its release. I've listened to it hundreds of times :D
This video is like a sexy version of 'Where the wild things are"
Mrlegend947 Nah I feel like where the wild things are is 10x more rapey. Especially when they all jump on the kid and almost suffocate him.
MEU DEUS!!!!!! Quanto tempo queria saber o nome dessa musica!! Encontrei!!!!!
Masterpiece
This has some 2012 vibes that can’t be replicated
One of the heaviest beats and songs I've ever heard. MUST be played loud as fuck.
me and my aunt love this song I listen and I never feel empty I can express feelings with this song I love it
I use this song to smoke weed.. these sounds are just ... great
me too hahahahaha
Sameee
What does your comment even mean. You use a song to smoke the weed so like the music from your speaker lights your weed for you or something?
+gerardo iglesias RIGHT OMG !!?
+Too poo No but most of the time, people smoke to relax or at least release the stress by dancing, singing, working out or doing whatever, and this song is perfect to groove you out when you smoke weed, its good vibes makes that you can't help but dance the hell out of your soul and feel overwhelmed by the love coming out of this majestic beat ! But Jonna's songs in general are part of the best songs to smoke to, she's truly got that magic in her voice and art ! (-and heart as well, I believe)
Doing that now 😍
Heard this by chance in pub in SW London, shazaam d it and watched the on here (all songs) . Wow Jonna, songs and videos are mesmerising to say the least (especially 'fountains' ). 👍from me !
