Another Year (Credits) - "Who Killed Amanda Palmer" Video Series: Part 8

[@keaton_]

Ben Folds producing your music has to be one of the best moments in music history. He seems to understand your vision unlike anyone else in music has, in my opinion.

[@anorak78]

It was a well spent evening strolling down memory lane. I miss this era, and I miss myself from that time, too.

[@WerewolfMorgue]

two years and I almost forgot about this. I came back after writing something that I realized reminded me of this song. I still relate to her words, amazingly. Love you, Amanda.

[@taylorautumn6447]

I just found her video project for WKAP. I'm blown away. The amount of work and symbolism put into this makes me want to cry because I will never be as amazing as Amanda. She's here on Earth to make the rest of us really appreciate everything. (But mostly appreciate her.)

[@Astlay]

Thanks. From the bottom of my heart. When things feel too dark too take for even another hour, I often come here. It's like talking to someone who actually understands all the leaps and arguments my brain will go through, and INA the most beautiful and straightforward manner cuts them right in the middle. "I think I'll wait another year". Again.

[@candycanebabe]

definitely my favorite song from the album. absolutely epic.

[@llaslah]

I just discovered this song! It's beautiful! I love you Amanda!

[@konson1]

This song reminds me so much of myself right now and how we struggle and just wait another year.

[@arkanix1074]

You know...I have had this CD for...Well as soon as I could get my grubby paws on it, and I do not know how this missed me, and then turned into my anthem. My facebook page has turned into an Amanda Palmer shrine kind of thing...and all my friends think I am insane. But since most of my friends are insane, I guess I finally get to fit in. Even my partner who can't spell an artists name without it starting with Metalica has grown to appreciate this.

[@nlmphoto]

i've never seen these, i just went through the whole series, it's now 5:23 am. Happy Birthday, belated. You continue to inspire.

[@strangelittlebeing]

The piano motif in this song makes me want to cry it's so sad T_T And this whole song makes me angry at the things I regret and my own cowardice, always waiting another year...

[@sireggplant]

I've never heard someone so excited about bringing the beer, and I live in Australia.

[@feliponsh]

I hear this song every year for my birthday. Today's my 26th birthday. thank you Amanda.

[@hideandgleek]

I've never even thought about that, but it's so true. People don't realize that she's the most brilliant human being of this time, but they will one day. And just knowing we're alive while she is, that's a fantastic thought.

[@swiminthesea6724]

I’ve never heard this and I love Amanda ❤

[@Danielaway]

Shes just amazing! don't matter what ppl says.. and this song in particular really touches me! Go Amanda! :D

[@anorak78]

15 years later they're still giving her shit

[@arkanix1074]

This song sums it up for me. I love Amanda for doing this.

[@HTROXURSOX]

I think that she's not entirely certain of what she's waiting for. Who is? But the excuse always recurs. For myself, the promise of the future is what prevents me from engaging in life. It's the excuse to procrastinate, but also protection from the anxiety and significance of doing things that are important to me, and interacting with the people I love. Sometimes, though, it's the thing that prevents me from killing myself. "Another time, another year, but now I'm busy." It's postponing life.

[@alil7896]

to me the song is about posponing suicide over and over again

[@rbeigh4761]

I like that take on it: we put off things, wait another year, because in a way that makes it seem like we have that year, we have the luxury to decide to kick it down the road. We get anxious and scared when we think we might run out of time, but if we presume that the time is there, it eases the burden. Postponing life so the grim reaper might get the text, and cut us a break...

[@TheSpankymonkey]

"Anyone else dislike biting tape to cut it into sections? It always hurts my lips..." -Congratulations, you won this years random conversation on youtube award. :-)

[@dennasaurr]

you shouldn't struggle to wait, time flies by too fast

[@Vangelus]

I just turned 26 a few days ago Thanks for making this :D

[@swiminthesea6724]

It reminds me of Counting Crows ‘Colour blind’ 🖤 love Mange

[@thelaughingman79]

this might be the most powerful song i have ever heard. i have sat here for 5 minutes trying to decide how to describe it...but what use is it really....i'll just say ....mmm wow i haven't been this short of words since i was 4

[@scarletmisfit]

@XnightmarealiceX I agree. Most of the songs I call "my song" were written by her. She's fantastic.

[@starryhuik]

You know when something is special and here it is.......

[@parisvoss9322]

She makes the world less scary. She makes it a better place to be in.

[@larkuciel87]

You know I stumbled on to Amanda Palmer through listening to Regina Spektor who is also amazing but Amanda does something with me that Regina can't do and I don't exactly know what it is...I mean I'm super obsessed with Regina but Amanda I just don't even know

[@shiteyanyo1111]

I think Amanda is much more raw and gritty while Regina is more dainty, does that make sense?

[@cravenlunatic1]

This album is simultaneously the best and worst thing for me to listen to right now.

[@D4VVN888]

For me too.

[@manus21]

beautiful video...but I'm sad 'cause it's the last one of WKAP :-(

[@modernmoonlight7350]

It's a new year today, I think i will wait another year.

[@gomzie666]

Yay.

[@roiybenkel682]

I tried to fall in it again My friends took bets and disappeared They mime their sighing violins I think I'll wait another year I want my chest pressed to your chest My nervous systems interfere Ten or eleven months have passed I think I'll wait another year This weather turns my tricks to rust I am a lousy engineer The winter makes things hard enough I think I'll wait another year Plus I'm only twenty-six years old My grandma died at eighty-three That's lots of time if I don't smoke I think I'll wait another year I'm not as callous as you think I barely breath when you are near It's not as bad when I don't drink I think I'll wait another year I have my new bill hicks cd I have my friends and my career I'm getting smaller by degrees You said you'd help me disappear But that could take forever I think I'll wait another year It'll be the best year ever I think I'll wait another year Can't we just wait together You bring the smokes, I'll bring the beer I think I'll wait another year

[@konson1]

I hope your right...Its been going so slow for me.

[@musisKat]

So is this year the year?

[@t3hsalsa]

If you watch the entire video series, each of the items is explained :)

[@shaloneithne]

I always think of people putting off something that scares them when I hear this. I thought at first, that it was about telling a guy how you feel. and with the bruises? maybe a fight with him?

[@rcrellen1980]

@jjlieb and it's stuck in my throat....

[@Danielaway]

..but that could take forever, I think I'll wait another year.

[@kmacmuzikmafia27]

This is morbid I know, but I was reading this book "Steppenwolf," and the guy in it says he feels better knowing he'll die at 50 because he's marked that year as the year to kill himself. So listening to this song, I think about that, and how people think maybe in one more year it will get better. And if not, then...

[@preyouandi]

i hope the new album ends on something this perfect

[@dennasaurr]

everything will pick up again soon. it always does :] dont worry

[@melikeyyeah]

Anyone else dislike biting tape to cut it into sections? It always hurts my lips...

[@VonBlade]

I find it strange that 1.4 MILLION fucking people have seen parts of this album here on the old tube, and less than 90 thousand have seen this. It's a song. You liked the other songs. Try this one.

[@Dotdotdot51516]

this is the best song imo

[@SaysBlake]

I suppose they're all just memories, memories which need to be rid of and forgotten... *shrugs*

[@GlennCraven]

I was hoping it was me, but nothing ever arrived.

[@Benji13Linus]

amanda u r great from russia with luv

[@JacobInvading]

Wait- what's she waiting a year for again? D:

[@TwisterCabaret]

Does she put chewing gum in the final envelope?

[@deboraborges4372]

This song completely destroys me.

[@calebzia]

kinda looks like she's got a bit of a black eye there.....wha happen???

[@HilliyGadam]

I'd give a finger to know what was in the last envelope.

[@RiotBadger]

The slightly de-tuned piano either makes or spoils this song... i can't decide.

[@embee5375]

You said you'd help me disappear...

[@TwisterCabaret]

It looked like whatever it was she was holding in her mouth, and then she sort of pressed it into place inside the paper like she was sticking it down. My guess is some gum, although I don't know what in the hell that could symbolise...

[@dttw04]

this reminds me, i have some letters i really should mail out.

[@bartlomiejmirowski]

Hence the sellotape

[@Xxlilith1697xXn2]

am I the only one who noticed the bruises?

[@xX4P47HYXx]

If my life were a song...

[@TheMetro666]

any girls can sing me songs like this??

[@charlieaic2052]

So...Bob Dylan is a poet... then Amanda Palmer is a Nobel Prize laureate of lyrics...just saying.

[@Iceknight212]

Bah. I don't see it. She's got the music, but not the voice.
