    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 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.

    • @highspacefox
      @highspacefox 2 роки тому +4

      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.

    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...

    • @50zezima
      @50zezima 6 років тому +7

      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.

    • @CorpseTongji
      @CorpseTongji 4 місяці тому

      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 😅

  • @scarlethelen
    @scarlethelen 12 років тому +110

    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.

    • @shanelogan630
      @shanelogan630 Місяць тому

      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.

    [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 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

I feel exactly the same as you, and none of my friends likes her:( we should be friends hahaha

    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.

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)

    The music video scares the living shit out of me, not going to lie...
    Aside from that, the song is extraordinary.

      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.
