This video and song really means a lot to me. I was shown it during a time of deep psychosis after a heartbreak. I was convinced that this guy was coming back in my life and while I waiting for him, I went deep into my addiction and was not in reality at all. Everyday got worse and worse. It wasn’t until I started cutting back on weed and getting on antipsychotics( I was diagnosed with schizophrenia) that I started seeing clearly that this person I was waiting for was not for me and it was all a Delusion. Once I accepted reality, I started seeing a new future more and more. I’m now going to rehab in three weeks from today, and I’m now really happy to be single while I work on myself and well-being.
Dear Austra, the Hirudin album is beautiful beautiful beautiful - the folk textures with your positive love message combined with that crystal voice has reached out across this universe to me and sang of meaning, pathos and fecundity. I thank you as a musician, human and soul. With the utmost respect and appreciation, I thank you.
Such a beautiful video and such a beautiful song! It will always amaze me how you create such beautiful melodies and harmonies with your vocals! Everything just flows so easily and naturally and makes it sound so amazing!! and I just love the woman breaking free from that suit, such a wonderful moment of breaking free of being trapped or at least how interpreted it. Amazing as always ❤️
Wow. Seriously so good especially when the chorus hits it just knocks me over. And the bridge when the main vocals end and the background vocals continue with "Will you help yourself now, like I asked you to?" Just kills me. Also love the video. The crazy color suit the dancing girl wears is so cool and Katie's head on the pedestal thing was such a perfect level of strange that I love. It would be almost off-putting if the look in her eyes didn't express such a sweet and longing acceptance. Beautiful all around and an instant favorite for me.
This is one of the coolest video concept creations I have seen in a long time. It is a totally motion filled song beat so it is fitting that the motion never stops, and I love the Mediterranean sound and Greco-Roman style imagery, and the floating head and celestial body imagery seemed born directly from their socializing thought creations and experiments observed during their many communal bathing visits. Much of the video even seems like wading in a pool of water.🏛️⛲
whenever i have walked by the ocean in the past couple of weeks, listening to the waves, this song begins resonating in my head... interrupting the sound of the surf, yet i do not mind at all...this song sounds better on loud speakers !
This song was everything I needed when I stumbled on it. It's beautiful and god damn if it isn't super relevant to me right now. I hope you do get to play it live soon, if not already!
