Tessa Violet - Haze 

I am absorbed by this

The smoke has such good timing like how

filmography in this is genius. filming twice as fast and stretching the footage to real time in the lyrics and slow-motion on the actions. speaks volumes.

I love how she's so pleased with her "fifty shades of beige" joke

I'M LOVING ALL THIS DAAAAAAAAMN TESSA

This song hits me hard. How is she able to describe exactly how I feel in relationships, I thought I was the only one who felt this strange disconnected kind of love.

Listening to it at normal speed and at 1.5x Speed makes a complete different song.

Having shot videos like this, I can't ever watch them without thinking of how ridiculous they look when played to the sped-up chipmunks version of the track that Tessa was listening to when she recorded it BUT! I love this song and I love this whole new EP!!!

who's here having a tessa violet marathon?! 😍 we love an underrated amazing artist!!

I dont know why, but my favourite part of the video is 2:21, when she just completely freezes. She goes from smiling and moving rhythmically to just completely unmoving, staring into the distance and only singing. I don't know why, but something about that part just makes me love it.

this makes me feel badass, creepy and mesmerized at the same time. god, i love this.

6 years and I still come back; my favorite of hers

the dude behind the camera is a genius

This is SO GOOD and the music video fits so perfectly

as a person with depression, I think this is soo relatable.

let us not ignore the fact that that was shot in one take...

WE GET IT. YOU VAPE.

this is a classic. almost 4 years later and still loving the song, never getting tired of it.

"fifty shades of beige" why am i laughing

i've had this song on loop for a good hour now. no regrets..

2024 and I still love this song!

also WOW this is accurate for depression/bpd stuff thank you

Okay but how is she in slow motion and still in sync with the words

I love how the word ‘disconnecting’ is split in the on screen lyrics

IM SOOOOO LATE BUT THIS IS SO GOOD I CANT STOP REPLAYING IT

The aesthetic of this video is just

Just found this artist today, been watching videos and listening to lyrics. This lady is super intelligent, a wordsmith.

What a gorgeous portrayal of the "meh" side of depression.

PLAY: REPEAT

I love how her song go from "I can't feel' to "I could be your crush"

I used to watch Tessa's videos all the time back in 2011/2012, but then sometime after that, they stopped showing up on my RU-vid suggestions almost abruptly. I never unsubscribed, but they just sort of vanished and I don't know why. Like they say, "Out of sight, out of mind." I recently remembered her videos, and wondered what happened to her. Then almost like clockwork, this video showed up on my homepage the very next day. Very eerie indeed, but I'd just like to say that I had no idea she was a musician at all and I've been very pleasantly surprised! Lovely voice and lovely melody. Keep up the great work!

this is amHAZEing (im sorry i can only communicate in bad puns)

Such a beautifully hypnotic song, with superb rich lyrics - "nothing satiates me and I don't think that I hate me" - brilliant.

**overwhelmed*

feel like this is scarily accurate of depression

Cameraman: "cough", "cough", "cough", "cough"

I met a boy Who never knew the taste of haze *instant add to library in spotify*

I am so in love with this song, I never understood what Dodie meant whenever she described Novels by Rusty but now that Haze is out I finally understand what it feels like to fall in love with a song

I REALLY LOVE THE WAY SHE MOVED IN 'EMPATHETIC SAVIOR' PART!!! who else with me?

these lyrics oh my gosh this is amazing

"was I just built differently...." I nearly cried when I heard that. I love this song

love the clip, love the music ♥

I like how low budget her clips are while still being good

I still want Tessa to have a Grammy. Her lyrics are incredible!

Accidentally listened to this at double speed...works well both regular and double speed :)

I am physically angry at how many people's ears have not heard this masterpiece of a song and ep HOLY SHIT

For me, still the best all-round song from Tessa. The music, the lyrics, the video production, her performance - all "god-tier".

Tessa is a sweet poison and I need more of her. ☁️

This video is overwhlemingly beautiful.

This Music Video is my new high.

I'm obsessed with this

When the camera gets to the end of that rotation, it looks like you are giving off the smoke and it's such a crazy effect! I love this song more and more each time I hear it. You're killin' it, Tessa!

bro this song bangs

WHERE WAS I ALL THIS TIME WHY DID RU-vid NOT RECOMMEND HER TO ME EARLIER WHY DID GOD NOT LET ME SEE THIS BEFORE 😭 BUT. IM HERE AND IM NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

50 shades of beige...best selling haze book

Endlessly beautiful.

your song, lyrics, voice, and video are all immaculate thank you for sharing something so amazing

so good!!!

I thought it said "nothing could take away this tasteless Hazelnut"

This song is so eerie. At first when I heard it I was confused because it sounds just like a chill, mellow song. But the more I listened the more uncomfortable I'd get. There's just something so dark about it, and so profoundly disturbing to me. After a while I realized it's because it reminded me so much of a situation I was in with a girl a while back. Only it's from her point of view, not mine which is why it took so long for me to realize why it resonated with me. This whole song, especially the lines "And I get drunk; on a boy who asks me if I'm up...I'll be your empathetic savior call me up I'll meet you later; you can praise me for the way I always know just what to say; I'll carve into your ribs and leave you crying for a kiss just for kicks" and "There's a circuit in my chest unconnected from the rest;....disconnecting my mouth from my thoughts" literally give me chills. I've been the boy. I know what it's like from the other side, but I've never seen her side of it and it's honestly horrifying. It's a song about addiction (from what I've gathered) but an addiction to drugs. It's a song about a girl who knows what she's doing is wrong and devastating to the people she interacts with but who's disassociated her actions with her emotions so much she can't stop it and a guy who can sense that something is wrong about this but is completely addicted to the girl and can't stay away. As you guy a part of you is angry and hurt and repulsed by becoming so dependent and close to someone like this just to end up being a pawn for their own impossible to decipher reasons, but from the girl's point of view it's just as bad. It makes me think that, at least in my situation, maybe she didn't just use me for her own amusement. Maybe she did it because it gave her a rush to do so, and she actually just couldn't stop herself. Either way, a fantastic song that shook me to the core. Tessa Violet is brilliant and talented, but honestly terrifies me. And I pray for the boy/boys who this song was directed to.

Hi Tessa! If I'm honest, your music has never been my cup of tea (absolutely no offense meant, you make excellent music in your genre, I'm just not friends with the genre), right up until this moment. I am deeply in love with this :) Congrats on reaching the point when even people who aren't into this kind of music obsess over your creation! (I srsly mean this as a compliment, only explaining my usual stance to emphasize the achievement ^^ )

Oh my god, you look so good in this style Your hair, your beautiful face, casual clothes.. Awesome

this is just gosh. amazing

I love the replay button

the first time I came here, I was just drifting along the waves of my attention span. Wondering like a desperate moth that flies into the next fading fire. I don't usually come back when I've tasted certain colors but the fact that I've found myself circling back into your light means a lot.

Man this video is look so simple but beautiful at the same time.. it's inspiring me, never thought something like this.. Loved it.. that smokes really cool..

1:13 gives me hella "sweet dreams (are made of these)" vibes

Damn this video is shot so well. They must of filmed it sped up then slowed it down in the edits to match the song?

This is one of the best songs I have ever heard in my life

the song was great but the video on top of it OH MAN THIS WAS SO FREAKING INCREDIBLE.

this moment is wonderful. You know when something new just plays your heart and takes your thoughts… I am feeling this now. I feel lucky to be on this planet with all of you

Whoever had the idea of the video, is great. VERY simple, and yet SO good!

i love this so much thank you for being friends w the vlogbrothers

"Cause nothing satiates me, but I don't think I hate me." Is an incredible lyric!

there some lil typos but a++++++++++++++ song omg so niceeee:D

Loved the use of smoke and the creepy and yet compelling feel of the video. The song is mesmerizing.

This girl can pull off anything at this rate, honestly.

I wish I could give this video 10 thumbs up. One isn't enough.

Anyone else getting a Melanie Martinez vibe? Love it Tessa!!! xx

Fun fact: She is actually signing faster to sync it in slow motion The original speed is 1.75x to 2x, that is how she actually sang the song

this song makes me feel so evil and i love it

i have never heard anything like this like it had some similarities to melanie martinez or marina and the diamonds but also cage the elephant and like idk some blues-ish partd I LOVE THE RHYTHM THIS SO GREAT I CAN'T EVEN

still her best song

this song is so good I always come back to it when I'm feeling hazy and it tunes me back into my feelings and I can move on, its amazing thanks tessa for this timeless gem

Love the tempo of this song! The pitter patter you mentioned in an earlier video sounds so good. :)

This song hits me right in my adhd heart.

god this baseline. hallelujah its juicy LOVE it! you need to make more electronic inspired music, its so damn brilliant good job tessa! i always loved your vocals and songs, but with some electronic stuff it takes it to a complete new level

Tessa

Has it been this long??? I miss this part of you. The ethereal game you play makes you a lighthouse for the blind. I'm a Tessa Fan 4 Life.

Overwhlemed

its soo good, and it hist so hard for me rn!

I want to know everybody’s favorite lyrics. Here’s mine: ‘Cause there’s a circuit in my chest unconnected from the rest of my mind And it’s the spot where my words are gettin’ caught And I try to walk it off, but my brain is filled with fog Disconnecting my mouth from my thoughts I just can’t get over how beautifully these lyrics describe wanting so badly to tell some kind of truth, but not allowing yourself to. Iss very good

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW, omg this is so flawless!!! IT´s just PERFECT

Hang on. This is in slo mo... But then how hard you lip syncing in time to the music? Did you have to lip sync in double time when you filmed this?

I have always loved the direction of this song

One of my favourite songs from you, Tessa!

I freaking love it. 'nuff said. don't know if I really understand what the tasteless haze is, but the music is powerful! And there are some beautiful poetic lines. The melody just touches me in a way I can't discribe, and I just love your George Gershwin style of blues.

Six years late to the party is actually pretty good for me!

Your hair looks such an amazing colour in this omg.

I hate that I don't know how to describe how much I like this but let's just say on a scale from 1-10 this is a 10000000000
