chapter 3 of the audiovisual series BLUE by iamamiwhoami. released april 28 2014. www.twimc.cc credits: music and performance by iamamiwhoami direction, edit and post production by WAVE produced by To whom it may concern.
When I was pregnant with my son, I'd play her music and he'd kick up a storm. Now he's here and we dance around the living room to her music. I hope he loves her music just as much as I do, she's gotten me through the best of times and the worst.
That's really cool story! I used to crave music, before I could talk, unfortunately my parents weren't really into playing music very often. It sounds like you're having a lot of fun at home
My 4 year old niece just loves her. She refers to Jonna as, "the winter girl", although she is still convinced that Jonna is part astronaut, mermaid, and space fairy. :3
'I want the world rushing through my veins". Some people may think she's talking about success but for me, she's singing about something that is almost spiritual. She wants to feel life. She wants to live every moment and experience nature, herself and find her own as she wants to find her path. I think this explains a lot of what we live every single day. We're always searching and living for something that we know and don't know at the same time. And it's amazing when someone put it into a song that sounds so beautiful. Thank you iamamiwhoami!
I wish I was a millionaire and give them so much money to keep doing this magic, to keep generating this magic. Music has a new meaning for me because of iamamiwhoami. There's hope for music after all.
I watched this video already 15 times I think... And told every friend about her. But noone give me a fuck about it. Anyway I still love Iamamiwhoami and still with my opinion that she is wonderful amazing artist. LOVE JONNA LEE
We don't give a fuck about that too :D I love her forever and always ! And Claes too, and everyone who we can't see , but who participated in this masterpiece !
Want want want (You) Stretching out before my eyes Are riches a ruler requires Regal shimmer, blinding shine But hollowness when all this is mine Through all the shallow depths, I had to wade This could've become my darkest hour Enough of days living in the shade I see harbor, ooh ooh ooh Is it underneath the tide vista? Hide my land of frozen soil That’s why some go scared through looking at mine Can you follow me and I’ll do if you take it ALL Chase us all to the end, but it will finish you, take ALL Improbable place unknown Untouched and all undestroyed Here I let my armies grow Our voices will loudly crow In the middle of a deadly current Never believed to cure the doubt I want the world rushing through my veins I see harbor, ooh ooh ooh Is it underneath the tide vista? Hide my land of frozen soil That’s why some go scared through looking at mine Can you follow me and I’ll do if you take it ALL Chase us all to the end, but it will finish you, take ALL Want only you to take me all! [want (me), you, take ALL (me)] I want you to take ALL! (me) Can you follow me through a second round? Yeah Can you taste the pale white salts against your tongue? I see harbor, ooh ooh ooh Is it underneath the tide vista? Hide my land of frozen soil That’s why some go scared through looking at mine Can you follow me and I’ll do if you take it ALL Chase us all to the end, but it will finish you, take ALL
I think fans aren't generating enough. It's not just about the money. It's the sharing. Generating interest. As it has always been for iamamiwhoami. They depend on us. We need to keep sharing. Don't give up. Share their music with everyone. Get those youtube views overflowing. We are their army and we cannot become restless. Generate!
I am loving this song, which gets better and better with repeat listens. This is definitely my favorite single they've put out so far in 2014. There's a really beautiful feel to this song, with a great nostalgic vibe that harks back to the 80s without sounding in the least bit cliched or redundant.
when i first heard this song, i actually kinda hated it. i would listen to every 'blue' song released except for vista. then, one day, the chorus from vista just started playing in my head for some reason, and so i listened to it again, and i realized what i was missing out on. such an amazing song, all the 'blue' songs are. jonnaaa
Absolutely in love with this song and Ionna Lee. I know I'm coming in about 7 years too late. I can't help giggling at the 3 silhouettes when they're mimicking her dancing, "are we doing this right?"
You thought you have created a place of purity, peace and beauty. A sanctuary where you feel safe and whole. But they will come, they always do. And they will taint your creation and mock your art. They might even chase you out of your own realm.
Hahaha ! I love that there's a bit of humor in this with the black dudes posing all suggestively and weird, it's a nice contrast to the usually mysterious and heavy subject matter explored in their videos. Amazing video and song, that goes without saying !
i heard this playing on the radio in my dream last night......i was very happy that the BBC were giving the band airplay, they sure as hell deserve to be played on the bbc
WOW JUST WOW... a Wonderful song and fantastic video from Mrs.Lee..the environment reminds me of Winterhold area or near Dawnstar Sanctuary on Skyrim.. Beautiful... :)
She can control her demons so much better, she's not running away from them anymore, now she dances and they follow. Well, at the end she started running again, but at least she ended up controlling them a little bit.
I wonder how much it costs to film in the ice mountains, and how cold was it for her she doesnt look like she has enough on. Nor do the guys in the black outfits. Loving the shuffle they do at 3:40 ! This has to be the most beautiful video I have ever seen. I wish I was there.
I think for this album, when it is complete, all the videos will tell a story when played in reverse order, last video to first video. For 'kin', all of the videos were a sequential story in order. For this album: • At the end of 'vista', the "shadow men" begin chasing at the end of the video. • At the beginning of 'hunting for pearls', the shadow men are continuing their pursuit. Their prey eludes them at videos end. • 'fountain' has many symbolic symbols for death. Jonna in the boat at the beginning, such as Charon the ferryman. Also the spreading of ashes in the water. I believe the ashes may be the remains of the cube which is placed near the fire earlier in the video. And I think the cube could be a representation of the physical body, as we see at the end of 'goods' from the 'kin' album. Jonna (spirit/soul) is inside the cube (body). It will be interesting to see how the remaining videos integrate with the first three.
Discovered this song on Slacker Radio and googled the video. As I watched I was reminded what a thrill it was to experience audio with video in the 1980's. The song is amazing and is enhanced by this beautiful work. Can't stop hearing it my head and I LOVE it. Outstanding art.
Want, want, want (you) Stretching out before my eyes Are riches a ruler requires Regal shimmer, blinding shine But hollowness when all this is mine Through all the shallow rifts, I had to wade This could've become my darkest hour Enough of days living in the shade CHORUS: I see harbour, ooh ooh ooh Is it underneath the tide vista? Hide my land of frozen soil That’s why some go scared through looking at mine Can you follow me and I’ll do if you take it all Chase us all to the end, but it will finish you, take all Improbable place unknown Untouched and all undestroyed Here I let my armies grow Our voices will loudly crow In the middle of a deadly current Never believed to cure the doubt I want the world rushing through my veins CHORUS Want only you to take me all! [want (me), use, take all (me)] I want you to take all! (me) Can you follow me through a second round? Can you taste the pale white salts against your tongue? CHORUS
Stretching out before my eyes All riches a ruler requires Regal shimmer, blinding shine All hollowness when all this is mine Through all the shallow depths, I had to wade This could have become my darkest hour Enough of days of living in the shade My icy heart will turn to gold Gazing underneath this tidy sky Claim my land of frozen soil Rest my eyes on this grand view, making it mine Can you follow me never to be found Tasting salty in the great blue we will shine Improbable place unknown Untouched and undestroyed Here I let my armies grow Our voices will loudly crow Whoever needed identity to reign Make them believe to cure their drought I want the world rushing through my veins My icy heart will turn to gold Gazing underneath this tidy sky Claim my land of frozen soil Rest my eyes on this grand view, making it mine Can you follow me never to be found Tasting salty in the great blue we will shine Can you follow me through the second round? Can you taste the pale white salt against your tongue? My icy heart will turn to gold Gazing underneath this tidy sky Claim my land of frozen soil Rest my eyes on this grand view, making it mine Can you follow me never to be found Tasting salty in the great blue we will shine
I like the thicker accent that she sings in here. It sounded to me she was singing in Swedish at first, but it's English. Didn't notice anything like that in previous songs (from Kin or Bounty). Could it be purposeful, as in adding character of the "Ice Queen"? I guess it's most probably just how it sound to me (a non-native English speaker), but it's interesting; I like it :)
Yes, I can follow you Jonna, to the end of the world if that's necessary. Omg when she smiles, so cute. I love how they are using ICE this time to represent the video. So beautiful, I loved the song too! ANOTHER MASTERPIECE. There's one more video left and this era is over, I'M SO SAD.
This is so unfair!!!! because Jonna Lee haves a lot of talent and an special voice and they are not so famous!!! and there are another people more famous and their songs and lyrics are literally bullsh*t, iamamiwhoami deserves more than this! A LOT MORE!!
***** I don't think they should be taken seriously. in each of the albums, there is a villain that has ambiguous qualities: the clumps in kin and the underwear guy in bounty. What scares or haunts us can be quite absurd to another person
She needs to kick it up a notch. These new songs all sound like the beginning of something before it gets going. I keep waiting for something to kick in and it never does. Anti-climactic. Yet still amazing.
Everytime i listen to this song i feel like im at the top of a beautiful huge mountain, wearing a light silk cape with the wind against my face singing this chorus at the top of my lungs and everyone in the world is listening and singing along with me
Очень удачно подобран сценарий с черными человечками.Так была бы одна и пела себе,а с ними она не одинока,и они как бы становятся ее ангелами-храгителями,которые в каждом клипе присутствуют.Это хорошо!)
Все клипы Йонны это одна история они как бы продолжают друг друга, конкретно в эре blue черные человечки олицетворяют ее поклонников, а тема воды это интернет-пространство)
From 2:02 there’s this repeating “oh yeah” run through a choir effect sample-turned-instrument and played on a keyboard and it’s one of my favourite things ever I love this track for many reasons but that little detail just feels so beautifully triumphant I adore it.
i have been obsessed with this song for years... Recently, I played it for my 60 year old mother... We have never had the same taste in music... She thought your song was absolutely beautiful and wanted to know more about your art... It made me realize that your sound is timeless.
I've been waiting for awhile for the release of the video, and I have to say I'm very impressed. I love how all the iamamiwhoami videos tell a little story :)
insuperables. cuando lanzan un video uno piensa "ya mejor que esto no se puede" y sin embargo, al video siguiente MEJORAN! La canción es, creo, la más abstracta de lo que va de este nuevo disco y el video, el más conceptual. ENAMORADO TOTAL DE LA REINA DEL HIELO Y SUS SÚBDITOS!
Lejos la mejor canción!!!, imposible no quedar anonadado con la sonrisa complice de Jonna, y la letra es aún mejor!!!. Gracias Iamamiwhoami. Vengan a Chile :)
By far one of the best songs of iamamiwhoami. The way she uses her vocals over amazing synths is absolutely beautiful. For being fairly new to the electronica scene, no one can match miss jonna lee. Shes already an icon and the queen of her genre. She will always be my favorite artist. No one compares.
I know im gonna get trash, but its no coincidence that quite a few people disliked what is out of this album, its just so underwhelming... Kin and B.O.U.N.T.Y were so different from each other and yet each song was so incredibly amazing... they're last songs... all sound so much alike, no magic, no mystery, no nothing... still love them no matter what i guess.
i have listened to both of those albums and yes there are different from anything out there maybe this is why you like them so much but im ADDICTED with this album i discovered iamwhoiamwhami a month ago and listened to all of the music and i think she achieved true art with this album
