Emilie Autumn - What If

[@PetulantKim]

I'm 65 yrs old last week. Emilie is much younger than me, but a kindred spirit and a fellow traveler. nuff said!

[@galaofthetruth8302]

When we are the original we all know who we really are as trust me we both know who we really are and now I know that together we will find out what the truth behind this truth we can really do because now she knows I have proven more than we have believe we could ever return to I'm pretty sure she will be returning to me very soon because we have been wishing for this to be true and I have seen and done what we use to do long before we were human

[@omi8618]

Wow

[@Mysanthropiya]

Hope you had a wonderful 70th birthday ❤️

[@janelemoon]

I listened to this on repeat when I was younger. Found it again 2021! Still love her

[@kindness6861]

It’s 2023 and I’m still in love with this song.

[@PetulantKim]

i love this song and i'm 64 yrs old!

[@aragland49]

I'm 54, male, and bipolar. Emilie's work appeals to me for a number of reasons. This particular song has a lot to say about how people form opinions of others and then try to work from handy labels instead of seeing the complexities that are actually there.

[@MadStrawberryPie]

I've always loved this song but this is the first time I can fully, fully identify with the lyrics. It feels so different now. I know no one cares but I'm totally fascinated by how much that changes how I feel about this song.

[@_Hal_9000_]

Whenever I hear this song, my inner child feels hugged ❤

[@katiaplantscientist]

This song really resonates with me. I was once very close to someone I thought I could share the journey of life with, but at every turn they wilfully misunderstood me and tried to turn me into someone I was not. It was exhausting trying to fit myself into their narrow definitions of gender roles and social expectations.

[@jessicaabbott10]

This song was perfect to use as the epilogue, because it provided a “cliffhanger” for Opheliac - that’s there’s a totally different side to her yet to be explored.

[@winggoddess]

This song makes me cry and gives me shivers. It’s my favorite by her. I can identify with many of the lyrics.

[@gnvrlnn]

I had these lyrics in my head & had to play this song : What if I'm the nicest demon, something you may not believe in. I love this entire song.

[@vinceniaannuzzi8027]

Wonder if this was before or after devils carnival

[@GardenfRedRoses777]

I absolutely love this song, it describes how I think, how I feel, how I view things, the way my mind works.. And how not many really understand me and try to advoid me at all costs, lol

[@calicoc1335]

I haven't listened to this in several months. I forgot how calming it was. :)

[@amyrose6255]

Serious goosebumps listening to this! Just stunning!

[@embluvya]

This song is very empowering.

[@rolihadeszodzzczomegagenomnius]

Such a beautiful song I hope she makes more and more music

[@horsts5986]

Underrated af.

[@icarusbinns3156]

I have adored this song for… I don’t even know at this point. Still my favorite

[@AvSias]

Just... brilliant.

[@cadencepiper1]

I love the oppositional lyrics in this song. Perfectly bipolar.

[@mirandav7477]

I love this song since I was 13, my sister penina showed me to her and I love all of her songs and albums, and she's literally perfection!

[@harvesterofstorms4932]

This song guided me towards the light at the end of the tunnel that was beating my depression.

[@bubby260]

the part that most relates to me is " what if I'm a socialite who wants to be alone" I connect with that and get that lyrics, because I love people, but I'm also a HUGE be a homebody =^D

[@piegirl333]

The most amazing song

[@bibidibabidibuu7618]

She's just so amazing,her music relaxes me♥ *-*

[@ivoryalice9470]

beautiful music, amazing lyrics, this song is just gorgeous ♥

[@free.the.plants]

Never gets old

[@anidavis927]

So beautiful.

[@Robertoni7]

“What if I’m a mermaid in these jeans of yours...”

[@shilohivy4590]

Love this song

[@PersephoneWatching]

This may be my favourite song purely for the line "I like to sit upon the floor" Sitting on the floor is great. Go ahead, try it. :-)

[@facgce960]

I love this song ❤

[@gabrieladerre2862]

The sound of this reminds me of Tori Amos' Silent All These Years. In a way.

[@cannedbread3829]

that’s exactly what i thought!

[@AmoranthCoylle]

I knew that song before this one, both are one of my favorites. Silent all these years brings back my middle school nostalgia.

[@rachelhimes7715]

That’s because it’s basically the same song. 😂 I wont be too hard on her though her darker stuff still slaps. Misery loves company will always be my fave 😊

[@damaracarpenter8316]

The melody and chord progressions are very similar.

[@alindsey1013]

So much love

[@shelbyreeder5326]

Reminds me of tori amos- silent all these years

[@HoursofMovies]

I love this song! Don't get me wrong. I prefer Emilie Autumn's darker and more Gothic work, but seeing this as the last happy and lighter song before the morbid song 'Opheliac' brings out the sensitivity in me.

[@lasauvageonne9701]

+HoursofMovies Well, couldn't agree more.

[@isidoras.9742]

I find this lovely, I wouldn't say it's happy though...

[@kutyaember]

This is far from happy, more like a calm admission of having bipolar disorder or borderline personality disorder.

[@rik4950]

wonderfull

[@hannahskiles1349]

CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW THE ENDING OF THIS SONG IS THE MELODY THEY USE FOR THAT GODDAMN UGANDAN KNUCKLES REMIX SONG

[@m3n4lyf]

lolwut

[@jessicaabbott10]

It’s a sample from the “prologue,” Across The Sky. This song was the album’s closer, or “epilogue”.

[@jenya-was-here]

No matter how much I dislike Emilie now, I will ALWAYS love this song. ♥

[@mituna-senpaipsiioniiccapt7397]

how come you dislike her??

[@HoursofMovies]

Could be because her later work is much more morbid and gritty. But I like her either way, Hauntingly beautiful, or brutally morbid.

[@ronnie337]

HoursofMovies I really prefer her now but i like this song too.

[@jessicaabbott10]

@@mituna-senpaipsiioniiccapt7397 Many fans don’t listen to her now because of the controversy from almost 10 years ago. That, and musical tastes just change over time.

[@ashleywatters4718]

[@vampirecalyx]

I love this song so much!!! Keep it up!

Enchant is my fave EA album ✨🧚🏿‍♀️

I LOVE YOU EMILIE! my sis said shed take me to your concert one day!!! but im not even 10

[@snaveluos]

Thank you!

[@BayleesCrazyLife405]

Perfection

[@LunaSanguine]

The vibes of the music remind me of Disney but I mean that as a compliment.

[@ThaiZeo]

I regained my childish sense of wonder at 25

[@mariamembreno4421]

Don’t mind me. Just going through my middle school music 💀

[@celiabennett2835]

Shisco ....and in the 3 years since you posted this, I have a feeling I may very well be one in a small handful of people who got that reference (if not the only one) I don't know whether or not to hate you because I will forever make that connection now, or if I should just be entertained... kinda chilling somewhere in between XD

[@lucadasilva343]

i like emilie but some of her songs r scary! but this is one of the best ones that arent :D

[@TheEliKaulitz]

Does anyone know where I can find the sheet music for the violin part of this?

[@laceyspacey8161]

Does this have anything to do with the puzzle?

[@tezka2]

yup its good real good, but across the sky still the best ...

[@MerryMoss]

Absolutely beautiful song ~ just really annoying that the lyrics appear about a full sentence after it's sung... doesn't really make it any easier to sing along xp

[@crystalcottagetarot206]

i am a paradox

[@billyh558]

Ohhh he'll no bitches she's her own musican like me

[@AidaRaven]

Sounds like she was channeling Tori Amos here :).

[@SarahHolmwood]

Nah, their music is pretty deep and much the same but they don't... ok what ever lol

[@isidoras.9742]

You're right! This sounds a lot like Tori's work. I love them both.

[@Vixxenkiss]

By channeling Tori Amos do you mean it sounds like Silent All These Years as in same key and same time signature and more or less the same tune and the choruses both start with What if? Yeah.... I guess I can sort of see that

[@celestial_stuff]

I noticed that too. LOL

Lyrics are that slow so if they were just a little slower, they would start in next song, god dammit! But every other thing in the video is amazing.

[@Nastasyashanti]

This song is so similar to all these years by Tori Amos both musically and lyrically

[@AlieNczech]

I love this song. I hate this song.

[@itsme69mdc]

what if i am a siren singing gentlemen to sleep....

[@davehshs651]

Emilie is a very talented singer and songwriter -- who seems to have made a career with songs about how misunderstood and victimized she is. Being her must be hard.

[@JonnyBoyMach2]

Do Tori Amos' lawyers know about this?
