Her Morning Elegance / Oren Lavie 

14 years later and I can remember the effect this video and the making of had on me. We need to remember these now classics and show them to those who’ve forgotten and those who’ve not yet seen. ❤

Who’s still here in 2024?

I can't tell if this song is supposed to be sad or happy.. but I'm feeling both.

I still watch this once a year. Found it 14 years ago when I was studying stop motion and was obsessed 🥲

It's 2021 and I'm still impressed by the fluidity of this stop-motion and song.

My mom used to watch this with my sister and me when we were little. As in really little; this came out when I was about 3. We watched it every single night and my mind associates it with those simpler times. Since then, my parents got divorced, my mothers mental illness became clear and very painful both to watch and because of what it causes her to do to us, presumably without even realizing. Since then there's been trauma and tears - so many tears. I keep on forgetting the name of this video but it's just such a vivid memory and I always manage to somehow find it again. I love it so much.

This is still one of the most beautiful pieces of art I've ever seen. I watched it religiously after I broke up with my fiance and though listening to it caused me to experience painful emotions, it was a beautiful part of my life during those very dark days. She married a new man within two years and now has a son and a daughter. I never married, and I've fathered no children, but I have found my happiness, regardless!

This explains why I am so damn tired when I wake up.

One of the best music videos I've ever seen

His voice is like a friendly cup of coffee on a crisp autumn day. All of his songs - great lyrics/great instrumentals/great talent.

I remember when this song came out. I can't believe it's been 12 years. Wow... time really flies...

One of my favourite music videos of all time. It's the kind of idea an art student dreams of having. It's executed so well.

Sun been down for days A pretty flower in a vase A slipper by the fireplace A cello lying in its case Soon she's down the stairs Her morning elegance she wears The sound of water makes her dream Awoken by a cloud of steam She pours a daydream in a cup A spoon of sugar sweetens up And she fights for her life as she puts on her coat And she fights for her life on the train She looks at the rain as it pours And she fights for her life as she goes in a store With a thought she has caught by a thread She pays for the bread and she goes Nobody knows Sun been down for days A winter melody she plays The thunder makes her contemplate She hears a noise behind the gate Perhaps a letter with a dove Perhaps a stranger she could love And she fights for her life as she puts on her coat And she fights for her life on the train She looks at the rain as it pours And she fights for her life as she goes in a store With a thought she has caught by a thread She pays for the bread and she goes Nobody knows Nobody knows And she fights for her life as she puts on her coat And she fights for her life on the train She looks at the rain as it pours And she fights for her life as she goes in a store Where the people are pleasantly strange And counting the change as she goes Nobody knows Nobody knows Nobody knows

2019, still one of my favorite videos.

This song in a way perfectly describes what it's like to have depression. Simply existing is a struggle in and of itself and daily life is indeed a fight for ones life.

Who's still here in 2020? :)

Beautiful, creative, awesome.

I saw this video 14 years ago it was free on iTunes. Today it literally just popped into my head on lunch break, somehow I remember the name.

Jon Snow may know nothing but he makes a damn good music video

My mom used to wake us up with that song in the morning as kids, now it holds a sort of ethereal nostalgic feel that makes my stomach sink to the best depths possible. I love it!

And in 2023, I still can't forget how this song helped me cross my darkest days... Thanx Oren 🙏 Shalom

One of my teacher told me to watch this video for pixilation stop motion ideas. But I fell in love for both the song and the amazing stop motion visuals.♥️ Love from Assam, India ♥️

been fighting with depression for over 2 years, and this song describes perfectly how it feels

i remember when my friend showed this back in middle school. the whole video is so amazing

On a shallow note, that woman is beautiful. And her hair~

My friend sent this to me when I was in the middle of a servere depression. It is so accurate. Depression depletes you of all happiness, energy, and hope. Everything becomes a struggle when you don’t have something to look forward to. Everything hurts. Breathing just fills you with more emptyness. It’s hard to describe to someone who hasn’t experienced it themselves. I remember one morning waking up and looking at these cactus seeds I had planted in my window still and seeing that the first small cactus had started sprouting. I started crying hysterically. It seemed like an act of kindness from the plant - like it responded to the care I had given it. It was such a small thing but it touched me deeply. This song makes me think of that. The way you desperately look for things that bring you a glimmer of joy or just a sign that things will be better. And how that can somehow be a beautiful thing.

14 years later at 4 am i’m reminded of this clip and i go watch it. it gives me the same joy it did that many years ago ❤

Who's here on 2021!? This has been one of my fav songs since 2009 😍😍 its awesome that I don't get tired of this song.

This song is so underrated!

crazy to think 8 years has passed since this song came out. I still adore it.

It's July 28th, 2022. Just checking in. Remembering this moment in time when life was slightly better and simpler.

That is stunning!

Any 35 yo single ladies out there, living as a foreigner in another country with no family and close friends, still recovering from a breakup a year ago, not being brave enough to love again in this city, experiencing the same depressed moments day in and day out as what depicted in this song? Before listening to this song today, I prayed to God to release my numbed feelings because I really need a good cry. This song has just helped me so. Now I hope I could wail and not just cry....

this is mine and my mom's music video. we always watch it together. it means everything to me.

A true RU-vid classic. I always go back to watching this video. Soothing and lightheartning it is. :-)

Discovered this sweet song/video in late 2023 while learning about stop-motion filmmaking. Lovely!

i still love seeing this video. i can't believe it has been 6 years since.

I saved this song in a youtube playlist 10 years ago. For some reason it popped in my head the other day. I could not for the life of me remember the title. All I could remember was the music video, the artists first name being someyhing like "Orion" and the word "she," which is not helpful at all. I searched and scrolled through all my old playlists and FINALLY found it because of the video image and the artist name Oren, which is similar to what I remembered being Orion? Hah! Love it. It's just such a peaceful beautiful deep song. So happy to have found it again! P.S. It's ironic that the song just popped in my head, because I have just recovered from a period of Seasonal Affective Disorder ska SAD, which is a form of depression caused by daylight shifts, and I never realized this song is about depression until I read the comments. If that's not my subconscious or fate bringing this dong back to me after ten years, then I dony know what is.

I remember watching this after reading about it on a Yahoo article about how beautiful the video is…that was in like 2009 or 2010. So damn long ago….

It's 2021 and I still find my peace with this song❤️

Just as good as when i first watched it years ago.

Over half a decade after it's been made, still love it. Work of art!!!

A friend once told me that this song reminds her of me, and knowing how generous she is and how beautiful this song is, I know it was an act of love more than facts probably. But whenever I'm lost in life and need a place to rest, I come here. Thank you guys for making this, and thank you, buddy, for giving me a place to rest in life.

2022, it’s five in the morning. My boy is at work and the bed is so empty. Can’t sleep without him🌸

Spent years trying to remember this song and video- I finally found my way back 💜 2019 tap if you up ✌🏼

Like so many other comments, I remember seeing this years ago and it stuck with me, even though I didn’t know what it was about and I still don’t. It sounds to me like it’s about carrying extraordinary pain or hardship through an ordinary world that has no idea what’s going on inside. But it’s also about being seen-the singer/songwriter is an entity in the scene, one who sees, knows, and admires her when she isn’t aware she’s being seen.

My art teacher showed us this video in a class on stop-motion and it took me 7 years to find it again. I love this song.

I’m back 4 years later. This is still an elegant dream.

i had never heard of this artist, this song or this video until this past weekend. I love everything about it. Even though its five years old,I find the video so original, the vocals are beautiful, soothing and refreshing and the lyrics sheer poetry. just wonderful, I hope this dude got plenty of awards for this work.

I’m taking a stop motion animation class, and my teacher showed us this for inspiration. Now I can’t stop watching it!

2022.. and here I am... again.

Took my breath away 15 years ago the first time I saw it and is still just as magical. ❤❤❤❤

So nostalgic... i was 21 when i started listening to this im now 35 and i still do. i love it.. it's been 14 years since, i can't believe it. timeless music tho

This song is like a bandaid for my soul

For some unexplainable reason, this song and music video makes me feel like going to somewhere very beautiful

I lost this song many years ago and never remembered the title or the singer.. it is now I see on RU-vid recommendations! Amazing!

I don’t know what made me think of this video after all these years, but I used to watch this a lot maybe 12+ years ago

I still remember watching this around the time it came out. I was 17. I loved it. I still do. So many memories associated with this song too.

loved this video back then, and seeing it again in 10 years almost made me cry

this song has taken on new meaning for me after dealing with a crippling bought of depression. Happy to have come across this again

This is the song my sister made me discover years ago. I love it. Thanks, Anastasia. I hope one day you will read this and understand how cool you are to me! Love you, sister❤️🌸

incredible

This song will always be a favorite of mine. I was introduced to this song two years ago by a good friend of mine at a time when everything felt exciting in life. Before I ever looked into the meaning of it- it seemed happy- the lighting, the soft melody, the smiling girl. I interpreted it this way, because I saw life this way. Whenever listening to this song, it always made me happy because it reminded me of that time in my life. Two years later, things are different now in that I still feel this happiness, but it isn't as readily available as it once was. A lot of my days are spent similar to this girl- fighting to accomplish the mundane things in life. On the outside, a lot of us can make it look like everything is going great in life, but in reality, a lot of us are fighting these internal struggles like the girl in this video portrays.

2023 and I’m still listening to this on a burned cd from ~2009-2010 in my Kia Rio. :)

this is my favorite music video ever

One of my fave videos of all time

vocals and visuals to this are beautiful. i still keep coming back to this timeless song, even after years and years. have you ever felt that connection?

Its’s 2024 and I‘m still obsessed ❤

9 yrs have past since this was uploaded and it was my first time hearing this.... music really never dies and has the capability to bring you back in time.

The drummer guy recommend this song to myday 🥰

Its 2022 and i still remember the lyrics like how i first heard this song 🖤

2023. 14 years later. My life long song. Thank you.

thank you dowoon for bring me here!

Watched this in class for our stop motion animation project. This video is truly amazing, as is the song!

Woww.... So much hard work and such a beautiful and amazing video

2022? Anyone. Grew up obsessed with this work of art.

小さい時に初めて見たけどそれからずっと好きでたまに聴いてる。 癒されます。大好き！

I came back to this masterpiece because of Day6 Dowoon !

Still one of my favorites 10 years later

2023 !!🎉 this song just dropped back into my memory randomly ❤

*I was 8 years old when I first heard this song and watched this mv. I loved it. Listening to it felt so happy, dreamy and calming. A decade later, i listened to this song. Now it struck me like lighting, i now felt the gloomy vibe it tells. Age made me realize the true message of this song. It's both calming and depressing. I still love it until now, more that I felt and can relate to the emotional value of this beautiful song.*

this was 7 years ago? time goes so fast!I still think this the most creative music video and the song brings back memories of old youtube

Whatever version I heard on the radio is way better. How is that even possible these days

2022. This song has somehow only gotten better ❤️ It’s a gift to be able to make people feel this strongly.

One those great songs that you always need in every playlist. 😁

This song was in my mind this morning while walking in the rain to work and now while I'm browsing RU-vid, it pops again!!❤️ Love it again and again ❤️

I could watch this over and over

havn't listened to this since i lived in nyc omg i was so happy to remeber it... what a amazing song...

いつ聴いても飽きない。 オーレンさんの曲おしゃれで好きです。

I like the sock fish.

Man, I remember watching this in 2009, thinking this was the coolest thing ever. Good job guys!

Many years have passed and I still enjoy it as if it were yesterday the first time I saw this legend. 😍😍😍

I absolutely love this song. I first heard it a couple of weeks back when my bestie introduced this too me on her phone, and I have looped this for hours. She gets pissed sometimes when I borrow her phone because I forget to unloop it. Also, kudos to the guys who made the video. The stop-motion is incredible--especially the underwater part.

2021 - Still awesome!

Happy to revisit this song again in 2019.

Сколько раз смотрю, а все в восторге и слезы в глазах!

If this were 2007, this would be my Myspace song.

This is Professor Snape's greatest fantasy.

i remember watching this video when i was 12 or something. i used love this video so damn much and i just thought of this song during class today.. man I'm feel so good now!! its been really a long time

This is what a weeend morning should look like for her, and I hope it does
