Aldous Harding - Horizon (Official Video)

[@trikywu]

Man, she is powerful in her art. She bites. And it's so beautiful. Having her mom in this video is also a gorgeous and savage image.

[@guyjperson]

That's her mom with the Sheleighly? Interesting.

There are some performers whose expressive means are so pure that at time they're able to access a place at the very core of human expression, something between primitive and childlike, something non-linguistic. I haven't felt this since Bjork. Thank you for this song.

I'm obsessively watching all her videos. She's a quality musician, one of a kind. Soulful persona, impressive voice, captivating performances, and poetic lyrics. There's a respectable madness to them too which is refreshing.

[@adamjamesgee8612]

She Reads the Bible, and is a Satanic Witch.

@s.d774 Do you think this video is conveying problematic relationship between mother and daughter ?

The way she can paint and tell an utterly complex story with so little effort is just mindblowing.

When you hear a song and fall more in love with it with every note, every word, every beat. Christ this is good.

This song is so incredible! I just can't even...(sighs)...it's so freaking good! I've heard it I don't know how many times since the middle of last year...and it's still so darn great! Goodness! Aldous Harding is a revelation!

[@leenewman1980]

At certain times KZbin gets it bang on right with its recommendations. On this occasion, I first listened to "The Barrel" Then I listened to "Horizon" and then "Stop your Tears". (Stop your tears made me cry) - All amazing, my new found artist for 2019. I may be late to the party with this one but better late than never, I am blessed to hear such wonderful, heartfelt, REAL talent. Artistic without boundry.

[@carmenfernandez5396]

The 2 female wizards battle is absolutely epic. She is not only a good singer, the use of imagery in her content is just sublime.

[@therealitycollective9456]

I feel something different from this. Not a battle. More like dancing together in an act of creation. From what I read the actress in white is actually aldous's birth mother in real life. I think the video shows the mother raising aldous with white Magick to make the world a better place. Aldous expresses making the world a better place whilst wielding the power of humanity's repressed shadows. The video to me is an expression of yin yang concepts. But this kind of video is obviously open to interpretation so who knows.

[@adamjamesgee8612]

She Reads the Bible and is a Satanic Witch.

[@bah7140]

A truly fascinating artist. Some people are commenting on her live performances but I think she's mesmerising. Her music is so strong that it doesn't really matter to me how she delivers it.

[@colehartel7206]

Her music comes through her, body and soul. She could not deliver it with such honesty any other way.

*LYRICS:* Let me put the water in the bowl For your wounds, babe Let me fill you up with the fingers of love You can’t lose babe When you watch me play, does it feel bad, darlin’ When they choose me? Say again, this place Say again, this place I broke my neck Dancing to the edge of the world, babe My mouth is wet, don’t you forget it Don’t you lose me Here is your princess And here is your horizon Here is your princess And here is your horizon I’ve gotta scratch it down, I never could amount That’s it, babe And now the sugar’s run out And I don’t know what to say Say again, this place Say again, this place Here is your princess And here is your horizon Here is your princess And here is your horizon And every now and then, I think about When you’ll die, babe There’s a fall in my head It floods what you said into the room, babe I don’t belong in the desert Yes, I can see it, take me home, babe Say again, this place Say again, this place Here is your princess And here is your horizon Here is your princess And here is your horizon Here is your princess And here is your horizon Here is your princess And here is your horizon

I love this song. Aldous and her mother are lovely.

[@seanoconnornz]

I don;t comment on much. I don't listen to much right through. I listened to this. I am commenting. This is art. Fucking great. She challenges expectations of normal, acceptable and beautiful with her lyrics, appearance, emotional intensity and surprise, her arrangements and of course her voice. This inspires me to stretch myself and stop trying so hard to fit into a box. The mainstream is so bloody narrow at times and it takes something like this to push the boundaries, meet some resistance and make our perspectives a little wider. Of course if something is too far out and/or just plain BAD it will have no influence at all. So she has succeeded in catching the edge of the mainstream with what for me is a beautiful and powerful artwork, visually and musically.

[@lupcokotevski2907]

You will also like Laura Nyro, the Bronx genius who created gothic, dark pop in the late 1960's. Nyro is Rock Hall of Fame, Songwriters Hall of Fame, only second to Bob Dylan as the most influential singer/songwriter in contemporary music. Try her 'You Don't Love Me When I Cry' (1969), very powerful and intense. Nyro was a musical force of nature, an absolute genius. Her 'December's Boudoir' (1968) is just bewildering.

I am totally addicted to this! It has been a long time since music has made me feel this way. Funnily enough , 4AD has been there since the first time. Damn this moves stuff around in my soul that I thought was dead and rotten and all forgotten. So gorgeous. Never thought I would be kissed for the first time again!

[@DigitalPlumbing]

This is beautiful! That woman in black (Aldous) is the ever present specter of pain and chaos within the woman in white. The woman in white is white because she is able to ward the chaos off with hard work and routine. Which is represented by the meditative like motions. Even though the woman in white moves flawlessly, the chaos is eternally waiting on the sidelines, eager to pull her away. I guess i see the message as pain and catastrophe can never be banished entirely and we have to do our best to live with it.

[@calvinjonesyoutube]

How do you know that?

[@Woolliscroft1]

Well it's an idea, so who knows. In fact the woman in white is her mother, Lorina Harding, who is also a singer.

[@calvinjonesyoutube]

It sounds convincing to me, but i don't know why. I find the video mysterious and intriguing but the meaning elusive. I`m looking for some reasoning by someone who appears better at interpreting what we see on our screens.

[@AquaticAbomination]

Stumble.Stop.Repeat I love this song but at the same time, I can say that you are absolutely right, especially in your last paragraph. Too often people seem to connect their identity to their taste and get offended when someone doesn't agree with their own preferences, it becomes a threat. What does it matter if someone across the globe doesn't see the something the same way as I do? It doesn't cheapen or devalue my own experience. Rather, the mature way is to listen differing voices and still be able to stay rational, appreciating the fact the world is full of tastes and it's not a threat to ones own. My identity is not shaken by the fact that what I like, some other might see as pile of stinky doo doo. But KZbin comment section is the place for quick kneejerk reactions, step right up and get yours right here. And I'm not saying that as to be snarky- I think the format of communication online in places such as this fuels that kind of confrontational and bit simplistic communication.

[@MichaelPohoreski]

jane stradwick **Facepalm** What the fuck do you think song covers are??? Because there are infinite ways to express emotion through music. 1. Some artists SUCK and a cover is 100% better then the original. (e.g. Jimi Hendrix's _All Along The Watchtower_ by because Bob Dylan can't sing worth a shit.) 2. Other times a cover is _just_ as good but in a DIFFERENT way then the original. (i.e. A lot of Leonard Cohen _Hallelejuh_ covers) 3. And sometimes the covers suck (99% of the time.) Not every artist is as insecure as you else "Weird Al" Yankovic would be out of an job.
