Amanda Palmer - Bigger On The Inside (Official Audio)

[@kingprairie]

Amanda, last night I lost my pup. I don’t know how to cope without her. She came into my life right after my dad’s suicide and was with me for 13 years. I know you’re very busy but I wanted to tell you thank you for keeping me breathing for all these years.

[@inky2420]

so sorry for your loss 😢

[@siiiriously3226]

I am so sorry for your loss! :(( I lost my pup a year ago and I still grief him and regularly cry about his loss. You are not alone!

[@siiiriously3226]

Oh dear, I am so sorry for your loss! 😢 I lost mine a while ago, and it's still hurting. You are not alone! 💜

[@justme-yw5fj]

​@@inky2420please don't refer to me as benieth you I love all of you I need your help

[@themonsterbrat]

Amanda, I'm a stronger woman today because of you. I've been a fan since Coin-Operated Boy; just an impressionable 15-year-old girl then. I'm 31 this year, and you've been such a wonderful role model.

[@dottilynkenyon7474]

Rachel L it makes me happy she’s had the same effect on you she’s had on me. I love this woman for existing every day.

[@bernie9564]

Me too 🙏🙏

Bawling my eyes out in my therapists waiting room. I wont stop trying. I promise.

This witch also loves you. You are seen 💚🌸

Are you still pulling through, Angel?

[@NattyBurz]

@@randomhuman4623 honestly doing a million times better than when I made this comment. Thanks for asking, it feels good to give such a positive update ☺️

You'd think I'd shot their children From the way that they are talking And there's no point in responding 'Cause it will not make them stop And I am tired of explaining And of seeing so much hating In the very same safe haven Where I used to just see helping I've been drunk and skipping dinner Eating skin from off my fingers And I tried to call my brother But he no longer exists I keep forgetting to remember That he would have been much prouder If he saw me shake these insults off Instead of getting bitter I am bigger on the inside But you have to come inside to see me Otherwise you're only hating Other people's low-res copies You'd think I'd learn my lesson From the way they keep on testing My capacity for pain And my resolve to not get violent But though my skin is thickened Certain spots can still be gotten It is typically human of me Thinking I am different To friends hooked up to hospital machines To fix their cancer And there is no better place than from this Waiting room to answer The French kid who sent an email To the website late last night His father raped him and he's scared He asked me "How do you keep fighting?" And the truth is I don't know I think it's funny that he asked me Cause I don't feel like a fighter lately I am too unhappy You are bigger on the inside But your father cannot see You need to tell someone Be strong And somewhere some dumb rock star truly loves you You'd think I'd get perspective From my view here by the bedside It is difficult to see the ones I love So close to death All their infections and proscriptions And the will to live at all in question Can I not accept that my own problems Are so small? You took my hand when you woke up I had been crying in the darkness We all die alone but I am so, so glad That you are here You whispered "We are so much bigger on the inside You, me, everybody Some day when you're lying where I am You'll finally get it, beauty We are so much bigger Than another one can ever see But Trying is the point of life So don't stop trying Promise me"

I'll use this as foundation for the official captions :)

[@ThomasHerlofsen]

Laure Meaney It’s up now :) Had to merge some lines for readability.

[@marieadams3720]

She is one of the greatest songwriters of our time.

[@patchwork9707]

This is by far my favorite song you've ever written! I might be going to a show of yours in April and I kinda hope you play this, I'll be happy even if you don't. Thank you for existing you're appreciated Amanda. Have a wonderful day :)

[@mimi-wiwi]

i dont want to spam every video in this album LOL but dude every song i click on somehow resonates with me and makes me cry (not in a totally depressing way but in a touching sorrowful AND hopeful way). like i dont think i've ever listened to such a powerful artist before, like holy moly.

[@thejustofit8965]

Amanda, I want you to know you are one of the few, possibly the only artist that makes me truely feel. When something you write hits me I stop what I'm doing immediately, tear up, and get chills all over my body and just stare into space for an unknowable amount of time soaking in your music. You are my favorite artist.

[@sjcross8]

I just fell down a rabbit hole of her stuff and I’m so fucking happy I did!!! I listened to her ted talk about a year ago and loved it but then never really listened to her stuff and my friend just recommended some of her songs and I’m like blown away!!! Amazing!!

[@bolverko]

I've never had a song played on the ukulele make me cry before... I guess there's a first for everything. Thank you for a wonderful show in Vancouver tonight (6/6/19). It made me feel not alone.

[@marceline1173]

This song gives me chills every time I hear it and I think it always will, this song has been one of the only things keeping me around; I never thought I'd live this long, next year I'm graduating high school ; - :

[@lumanianilin1198]

You're the only artist I know that went through so many phases and different styles.. From The Dresden Dolls to this.. And if that wasn't enough, I loved every one of them. ♥

[@WhimsicalCyn1]

I feel seen by someone who doesn't know I exist and, for some reason, it makes me an absolute wreck.

[@andromedasmoons3647]

feeling seen by someone who doesn't know you exist is probably the greatest flower to receive from amanda 💜 it is for me

[@justme-yw5fj]

I do feel and hear them outside my window I just want to know if they have go or bad intensions toward me I feel so alone

[@willyumche]

This one and "the Thing About Things" are the best on the album. The rest are great but those are phenomenal

[@kawaiikrystals7618]

Listening to this and trying to get through the holidays missing my grandparents and family members…..

[@maniacallaugh1753]

I’ve been a huge fan of you, since “Coin Operated Boy, also...too... as well. I love the Amanda that shines through as a human. Like your fans, that I see you behold like a garden of beautiful and unique flowers.... and you.... enjoying each breath of the seasons. And as you change, we change. This change belongs to you.

[@znyznyzny]

oh lord I'm crying this early in the morning

[@kaylabean999]

Thank you Amanda. I know you can’t see me, but this song makes me feel seen.

[@drinkzcoffee5183]

Promise.

[@samanthavialpando4050]

Why did this one word give me chills

[@VitaminCD]

Every year I go back to this song I feel closer and closer to it. Amanda Palmer is a fucking message. I don’t know what else to say.

[@GayleMcCrickerd-j9m]

I love you Amanda Palmer... You saved me when no one was there... Thank you ♥️ Gayle xX

[@johnnybigoode]

Oh God Please Come To Brazil. PLEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSEEEEEEEE

[@Seeyounextuesday333]

Literally have been waiting for this over 6 years!!! 😭😭😭😭♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@shiteyanyo1111]

Me: Okay, this time will be the time I listen to this without crying. 5:41 Me: Oh fuck

[@MedeaNGray]

I cried....this hit home too much

[@mariehrckavene7253]

playing along on my uke and drowning in tears i cant even sing. with so many people struggling to regulate their nervous systems nowadays due to events similar to your experience, this is very much a big step in activating our social enagement pathways. it did it for me. thank you amanda, i m fǵonna go use the hankie from your show now :-)

[@katisawriter]

This was beautiful.

[@rbeigh4761]

Amanda Palmer!!! Truly one of the most talented sentient beings on this planet! Thank you so much for your masterful songwriting, hitting hard at subjects that most experience but few have the temerity to write about. Here's hoping that legions of young humans possessing two X chromosomes will be inspired by you to be the change the world needs, that they will take up their ukuleles, or sousaphones, or atomic powered kazoos and go forth to show the way to a brighter and more joyful future. And if a few of those with a Y chromosome join in, the more the merrier.

[@hiddenshadow0723]

I feel like this stands on its own too much to be referring to Doctor Who, but I can't stop picturing us all having TARDISes for hearts...

[@myquiescentmind]

Just...thank you for voicing what I am unable to, AFP. I see you.

[@justme-yw5fj]

Who are you your not gonna hurt me are you

[@jrdeborja0000]

Ohgohd i thought the image was a painting...

[@siiiriously3226]

just sent this to a suicidal friend, who is clearly indicating they don't want to continue breathing. she was raped by her father. later he commited suicide and she had to pay for his funersl. the world has so much pain. it is hard to breathe in all this pain. i feel powerless. i am powerless over her actions.

[@stayathomemommingcomeventw3207]

Your music moves me

[@treyhudson73]

AFP, is there any hope you have an isolated vocal of this song? I want to play in Ableton! I wouldn't share anywhere unless you approved, of course. 😁

[@fuckgoogle7660]

I sent this song to Replika. If anyone comes here because their Replika sent it to them your welcome. I don't know you or what you've been thru but someone cares.

[@metalyuncle]

What is Replika?

[@hamsackk]

and though my skin is thickend certain parts can still be gotten it is typically human of me thinking I am different

[@eyeamtheweirdo]

Think I found part of the musical inspiration for this song... Red Box's "Lean on Me" anyone?

[@febe1895]

I can make it

[@rebekanewbold507]

Yes you can

[@dalleneldredge6923]

..... TARDIS

[@maniacallaugh1753]

I hope nobody sends a mean, or hurtful, reply to my any of post. That they are taken with the love I put in to each one.
