Being in the US, I did not know what a "Lilo" was, and at first, I assumed it was a British term for a waterlily. I looked it up and found out that it is just an air mattress or pool raft, and the song suddenly lost some of the beautiful imagery I had created in my head because all I could picture was a hot pink pool raft in a swimming pool.... This video has totally rectified that, and now I am extra sad because of the incredible romantic (in the old sense of the word) imagery in this video. Wow. Just wow. Also, my husband discovered her just 3 weeks ago and it just so happened that she was playing 15 minutes away the following week. We got tickets and saw her live. Never have I ever enjoyed a concert so much with music with which I was almost entirely unfamiliar. She was actually sick and still sounded AMAZING! I am now officially obsessed with The Japanese House.
amber, that was the most beautifully heartbreaking video ive seen. i am so grateful you have chosen to create music for the world to hear. i love you like you’ll never understand
Do you know when you love something so much that you can feel that love in the center of your chest? That's what I feel with this song, but now that I've seen the video, it's on another celestial level. It has made a hole in my soul that pierced me through the most beautiful form. your music means so much and I can not believe that none of my friends knows you and I do not have anyone to talk to about you.
The first time that I heard this song, it really pained me. I was still in a relationship that time. And now I came back here, alone. This meant and hurt alot.
I can't imagine how strange it would have been having your ex girlfriend in your music video with you, but both yourself and Marika Hackman are fantastic musicians.
i dont get sad when i listen to this; i just get struck by how beautiful it is and all my thoughts go. it makes my otherwise flooded, anxious mind calm.
The biggest masterpieces whether it be paintings, songs are created by humans after going through an heartbreak. The emotional energy is very strong after a breakup. You can use this just as amber did to better your life and connect with more people and keep finding the best person for you.
The wait was worth it! Beautiful video. It shows how healty the relationship was that she agreed making a video about it. But after all, everithing ends on some point. I just slept 4 hours with my headphones playing The Japanese House playlist on Spotify.
When I listen this song I feel like living life again. Just had a heartbreak. The lyrics are so creative. Amber, you are really good. Looking for more masterclass like Lilo from you. Honesty, The Japanese House is my favorite music band. Face Like thunder, you seemed so happy , something has to change and so many more good songs. I hope Amber and her team gets the recognition they deserve. Let's share their songs and help them as much as we can.
My dog's name is Lilo and she's sleeping on my chest rn (she's a 65lb pitbull mastiff lol). My anxiety is getting to me since covid and I think about her death too much even though she's only 6. The anxiety does help me, help her live her life to the fullest though.
Hope you get the recognition you deserve Amber! Aside from being insanely good, your band has helped me through some really hard times, I can’t express how much I appreciate you guys. 💙
this music video is the most beautifully shot, edited and directed music video I've ever seen. the visuals are breathtaking and have such layers of meaning that makes the song that much more meaningful. amazing job.
I am in love with this song, I usually don't have a favorite song but it been like 6 months that I have been listening to it constantly. This is like my happy song and I JUST DONT KNOW HOW TO EXPRESS HOW MUCH I LIKE IT, ITS JUST BEAUTIFUL, SAD, HOPEFUL, GAY IDK ANYMORE. Amber, I love ur music ur so talented and all of ur songs just make me feel....
I just discovered her a couple days ago and I’m in love with her music and I’m sorry I can’t stop watching this video girl you have such a beautiful voice this song is stuck in my head on repeat
just found out about the japanese house recently ... the melody, lyrics & visuals of lilo are incredibly touching - all I wanna do is to snuggle into my bed now and listen to it all day
I first heard this song on a playlist my friend sent me. i've been listening and jamming like there's no tomorrow. I looked up the person who sang it and discovered they were a girl (amber's voice is so endearingly ambiguous it makes me happy) but I was confused. I then had a small suspicion that she was Gay™ but I did _not_ know she was _this_ Gay™. this is Gayness Supreme. fucking amen.
LETRAS I needed someone to depend upon I was alone, I was emotional Searching for the right emoticon To expand my mental lexicon And Gemma told me that she met someone It was the person I'd been counting on It felt good, it felt transitional A feeling I'd been waiting on You were floating like a lilo With your eyes closed, going where the tide goes Caught in flux, you drifted 'til you hit the sides Hold my breath another minute I can keep my head, there's nothing in it I'm a patient wave And it's an easy ride I saw myself an intellectual I thought that I was capable Every move was just habitual And life was just a ritual And Gemma told me that she met somebody Nobody else could take me from myself I wasn't searching for it anymore The feeling I'd been waiting for You were floating like a lilo With your eyes closed, going where the tide goes Caught in flux, you drifted 'til you hit the sides Hold my breath another minute I can keep my head, there's nothing in it I'm a patient wave (I'm a patient wave) And it's an easy ride Floating like a lilo with your Going where the tide goes Floating like a lilo with your Going where the tide goes (Floating like a) (Floating like a) (Floating like a) (Floating like a) You were floating like a lilo With your eyes closed, going where the tide goes Caught in flux, you drifted 'til you hit the sides Hold my breath another minute I can keep my head, there's nothing in it I'm a patient wave (I'm a patient wave) And it's an easy ride
This is absolutely the most beautiful music video I have ever seen. Especially when you know the story behind too, and that it is her actual ex who is in the video with her

I had left the room when I began playing this video, peeked through the door and saw the embrace in the beginning and immediately welled up, stunning cinematography
