    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"

    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.

    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.

    • @shanelogan630
      @shanelogan630 5 місяців 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.

  • @EgorAnanyev
    @EgorAnanyev 11 років тому +151

    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 7 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.

      +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.

    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

  • @SassySistaaa
    @SassySistaaa 10 років тому +342

    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

    [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

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 don't understand how people are even arguing when you have such a piece of fantastic right before your eyes. xD

    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...

    one day maybe when I have a sebatical year off from work I will go full detective and put newspaper cuttings, draw line on my walls between the videos/songs and find out what this all means, nothing would make me happier.

    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.

    One of the heaviest beats and songs I've ever heard. MUST be played loud as fuck.
