[@belledujourx]

No one has ever understood how much I love iamamiwhoami, and why. I’ve tried to show people where to start, given them possible interpretations, told them significance of lyrics/objects/presences/etc in the videos... No one cares as much as I do. I started listening back in early 2010. I remember sitting at a desk, staying up late to watch the first live concert and being absolutely entranced. I’ve kept up with all the new music throughout the years since then. It’s still just as magical as it was to me then. ❤️

[@seffay6875]

nkfox I just got introduced to her a few weeks ago and have been absolutely obsessed with her~ I’ve let my friends hear her music but they don’t really seem to appreciate it as I do~ but I feel like there is something more special about the fact that only a small amount of people can appreciate it. After all, she makes this music and her creatice work “To whom it may concern”

[@Milohenry13]

This is easy to answer... You have better taste than your friends.

[@tigertjhs500]

it's all apart of our spiritual journeys

[@jescoby]

Wonderful to know though that there’s a small army of fans around the world that have had the same experience!

[@photadyta]

Her music speaks to a special group of people

[@AndyZaturno]

The most powerful Jonna song to this day. Idle Talk is a masterpiece.

[@aynosekeponer]

Totally agree with you! trascendental

[@paolovallejo5500]

that would be T

[@RuEvEloll]

you are freak

[@olsten44]

Absolutely ❤️❤️❤️

[@ImTheNewFruit]

She is so underrated that its pysically hurts.

[@vanlmr]

I'm seriously shocked that this doesn't have millions of views.

[@SafeTripHome33]

+vanlmr why are the views so important anyway? this music is one of a kind and it's a little too good to be heard by everyone

[@50zezima]

vanlmr it has 420k views, close enough.

[@atlasttoday]

vanlmr probably it is for very special people ;)

[@user-tx1cn2kz1x]

its still good

[@Vixentopnotes]

vanlmr i know right! I’m just discovering her

[@joaoleodoro4918]

I can't believe i hugged this woman

[@ArthurSilva-ly8xx]

This is not just a song. It's about something that only people who has some alive sensibility will understand. That's why I love this audiovisual project.

[@hyperborean72]

Isn't she amazing? Such a great actress with a sweet flawless voice. Aren't their videos mesmerizing and beautiful despite the seeming simplicity? Aren't their verses make you think carefully about the sense? Aren't these melodies and gorgeous arrangements haunting and captivating? I feel that this music has smth religious in its ground

[@marceloarieugon3751]

Where are you, my long lost love? It feels like yesterday has parted I held you closest to my thrusting heart Now the withdrawal seems to be starting You're not like anyone I've known With you, I flourish into greatness Extend my arms into immense delight Making my future vast and weightless Quite an undertaking of fair promises, I stopped hearing you crow Quite an understatement when harm surfaces that is hidden in snow I should have kept you safe Shielded from a Trojan war Where are you, my partisan? The last I saw of you was sinking Into a giant hole of nothingness As my desire started shrinking Or if I choose to take you back If I stand up for my believing (if you can steal me while I laugh) Can we make up for all the joy we lack? (it was the motion you were breaking) Can we start giving and receiving? (what is the purpose of me giving?) Quite an undertaking of fair promises, I stopped hearing you crow Quite an understatement when harm surfaces that is hidden in snow Where are you, my long lost love? It feels like yesterday has parted

[@seankerr2394]

So I'm going through a lot of difficult life changing circumstances lately and I came across this music. I didn't know this is what I needed but it's made all the difference. I'm so grateful for all of this; please don't ever stop. You're a goddess.

[@bustopratbag]

+Sean Kerr You're not alone, friend.

[@SaschaG57]

same for me here :)

[@sebhma]

this. melancholia and nostalgia and happiness and new beginnings in one wonderful sonic landscape. thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

[@eric9508]

this is still magic af 4 me after 5 years.

[@smellersby2636]

Her voice and melody still do magic :)

[@eric9508]

@@smellersby2636 YES IT IS

[@AndyZaturno]

MY ALL-TIME favorite song from iamamiwhoami. It is simply perfect.

[@tree-huggersans-cur4371]

Andy Zaturno Meeeeee too what a mistresspiece!

[@50zezima]

It's so hard for me to pick a favorite from her. I'd probably have to go with Blue though. That or this one, or most of the songs from this album and blue absolutely tear into my soul.

[@hyperborean72]

as well as their best video

[@Juliaanaclaraable]

I just saw this song live two nights ago and I still can’t stop thinking about it!!!!!!

[@tobinjordan8533]

4:10-4:20 kills me every time for some reason. I always want to cry.

[@seffay6875]

tobin jordan Same! It really hits me in my heart

[@kilteran7514]

9 years this masterpiece. And I still need more iamamiwhoami in my life. Give us New music please!!!

[@danielsonsilveira]

Essa música acaba comigo! É muita perfeição.

[@katherineternova921]

It is still as magical it was the first time. For special evenings. Thank you amywhoami for such a masterpiece! ❤️🌟🌟🌟🌟🙏🏻

[@AndyZaturno]

can't stop listening to this song.

[@AndyZaturno]

THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG OF ALL TIME!

[@c1jersey]

I need more videos like this in my life.

[@Jauckor]

c1jersey Dude, KZbin is plenty of it. The entire world is plenty of it. Take a look around you.

[@jweb2nz]

***** no, not quite like this.

[@Jauckor]

Have you seen Tiger Lilies videos?

[@CarassiusRedcap]

"Tu no eres como nadie que haya conocido, contigo, florezco en grandeza"...

[@fabioaug.]

I don't think I have the words to describe how beautiful this is. iamamiwhoami's work is so unique and special to me, one of these artists whose artistry and identity can't be compared to others, given the fact that they created a whole universe of their own. From a proud Brazilian fan.

[@ABCDyeahyeahyeah]

Hopefully you got to see the shows over the last few days. No one area has responded to her over the years the way Brazil has.

[@fabioaug.]

@@ABCDyeahyeahyeah Yeah, I saw the response. She has a very active and creative fanbase here. ❤

[@farizkovalchuk]

at 2:02 you can see she is shedding a tear and that is probably the most touchy moment of the song, the line goes as: "I should have kept you safe, hidden from approaching wolves" or smth like that

[@jbwooten89]

This song makes my entire soul hurt in the most beautiful way. Fantastic. That stare after 1:45... I'm just not worthy!

[@andrecardoso9121]

This is so pure and perfect all the way around, it changed my life years ago and it still touches me

[@christiancamilobuitrago3303]

You’re not like anyone I’ve known With you, I flourish into greatness Extend my arms into a misty light Making my future path seem weightless

[@AndyZaturno]

I'm glad I'm alive in 2012 and have the privilege to experience this project. I know I'm living the future because of iamamiwhoami. They are BEYOND their time.

[@lucasr1074]

essa musica me enche de saudade... é mágico... impecável.

[@mourningteahouse6028]

This is probably still my favourite.

[@cybermatrixxx]

greetings from Russia! We love Jonna Lee

[@spl33t]

Спасибо тебе за Йонну в тредах анон. Ты лучший добра тебе

[@eDaddy3030]

This song actually might be one of the most beautiful things I've heard sonically it's a gorgeous song the videos amazing and I'm in love with the singer so yeah this song alone is one of my favorite things in the world 🤘🏻love your work so much thank you for your contribution to the world 💜

[@graphictrain5003]

my alltime fav song

[@juicyphi]

Still my favourite.. this song makes me want to cuddle

[@ottolettuce]

lol this comment is so cute

[@MarkoCindric]

Every single one of these songs has been flawless. And Jonna is actually gorgeous.

[@AndyZaturno]

SHE'S THE NEW QUEEN OF MY LIFE.

[@oldsu9089]

simp man XD

[@AndyZaturno]

She gave me life.

[@ZeTrystan]

Still absolutely in love with this song. Thanks so much for creating it.

[@renealejandrop]

2:00 is heavenly "I should have kept you safe, shielded from approaching wolves" 4:12 another heaven "sing sing sing sing sing sing sing sing sing" (reversed)

[@Oryannmusic]

oh my god it just keeps getting better and better. Every single song that is released, my love grows for her. Such an unbelievable songwriter.

[@jmo3376]

Who else does the little head pat from 1:07-1:09 when you’re feeling yourself to this masterpiece?!! I do!! Queen Ionna

[@hyperborean72]

there is so much vulnerable tenderness in this melody and video

[@verkenderkraftwerk2]

God, every single one of the videos are some of the best music videos in history. It's use of environment, colors, lighting, and imagery just beautiful. It's as if Bergman and Lynch had a child that liked Dream Pop.

[@johnalver]

Just when I start to think music is all starting to sound the same i hear this different sound :D

[@pinduxa2020]

she is so wonderful and this is one of the most beautiful songs of the kin era.

[@AndyZaturno]

AMAMOS A IAMAMIWHOAMI DESDE COLOMBIA!!!! Reina de reinas.

[@jerrygarza7969]

She is art !!!! Saludos Andy Zaturno desde Mexico

[@PG-qn8od]

absolutely pure perfection, in every detail. ♥♥♥

[@viktor8492]

Hace 4 años que esto me partió el corazón

[@TWIMC_Tarsyo]

Got very emotional hearing this music Live

[@bishythebish728]

The most powerful song of Jonna Lee

[@davidwemebol]

3:48 Perfection

[@tsunokun]

I'll never get over this song.

[@Anomaly1618]

2:01 This part of the song brings tears to my eyes. I guess it strikes a personal chord for me, but the way she delivers the lyrics vocally and physically is so perfect.

[@byasyag]

I'm so amazed by her every single time.

[@MrIvarlira]

This is so beautiful I can't put into words...

[@user-bo1ue1ur3t]

this song is just so pleasing to the ears, it's like the definition of ear candy, the way the refrain hits the first time is truly a moment. one of my favorite songs for sure

[@BOBLOGTHREEE]

i always like to imagine that iamamiwhoami is genuinely this glimpse into an alternate reality, but i just had a weird thought: imagine being jonna's cousin or something. like, at a family reunion: "so jonna, what've you been up to?" "I DANCED WITH HAIRY BEINGS AND FOUND A NEW WORLD INSIDE MY CLOSET" "oh...well, i went to the DMV yesterday."

[@dkeller28601]

I would say my favorite but I have loved everything that you have brought me! From before bounty (the short clips), bounty, and all of the current work, I am always in awe at the detail. Thank you so much for being such a delight! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE YOU!

[@carloszondaR1]

your not like anyone I've known(I've ever met) with you i flourish into greatness extend my arms into immense delight making my future vast and weightless. greatest lyrics frm this song just sounds so right!

O Brasil te ama !!

SIM!

+AssassinsMB simm :')

[@vii1663]

Still my favorite song after so long!

[@pKoltsu]

The Best song of her

[@fischkekskreistoast4914]

She is beautyful.

[@AndyZaturno]

THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG, BESIDES GOODS, FROM KIN!

[@chromesthesia]

This song feels like an old skool r and b song and I love those.

[@Mansion11p]

My thought : Songs 1 & 2 : She's at her place. The clumps are keeping her away from everybody, she seems alone amng all her neighbours. 3 : The clumps take her away, this time the separation with the rest of world is physic and real. 4 & 5 : She fights the clumps. The struggle is metaphoric but we see the evolution from play to in due order. She seems powerful, leading the clumps. 6 : She comes home now that the clumps disappeared, stronger because she won. I hope she'll prove me wrong again!

[@BuildingHP]

Idle Talk is sympathetic. It understands my pains and comforts me. It helps me to get through it all. I'm dead serious.

[@user-bo1ue1ur3t]

enduring masterpiece; the crowning achievement of the project

[@gustavodiamancci4227]

i'm crying! this is out this world

[@geoffolehane]

I'm seeing her live in May in Boston.

[@purewish]

I have no words, iam are quite simply my favourite new band and they always produce ... the weirdest emotions!

[@SlyctonOfficial]

The feels, the lyrics and the music reach to my heart, I felt moments like this in my life

[@EmmanuelJF]

I REALLY LOVE THIS SONG SINCE THE FIRST TIME I HEARD IT

[@AuCoinDuMonde]

the synth of the beginning, reminds me of i break horses' winter beats. and i enjoy it very much!

[@deliriouslily]

I've just stumbled on iamamiwhoami via lastfm. Wow. Can't stop watching.

[@TWIMC_Tarsyo]

Toda vez que escuto essa música só da vontade de sentar e chorar por todas aquelas coisas que ainda não vivemos

[@AndyZaturno]

THIS SONG IS PERFECT.

[@danceshimmyshake12]

I'm so ready for the album!! Also IT COMES WITH A DVD!!!!!!!!!!!

[@karlees__wife]

ah yes the old days where every one was excited when they got DVDs lol

[@lexieschrei]

I love the look of this video. its like they took all the nature elements of the earlier 'kin' series and 'bounty' series and mixed it in with other more modern and artificial elements of parts of the 'kin' series. when she crawls through that closet, its so symbolic to me for some reason. like she's connecting both of these worlds and making the worlds we saw in 'bounty'.

[@YourReckLesSDreamer]

I totally agree! it's amazing how good she is... there no words

[@ignaciogato]

I just love this song , a big mood 💖

[@wj2713]

seems like i m not the only one whos felt PERFECTION while listening to this

[@pablingarciac]

Masterpice ❤ My favorite of Kin

[@JorechDalc]

The best song from the best era.

[@JotaC]

True, Kin and Bounty are the best but I love Kin even more and this song is my favorite from her

[@colinnaipal6615]

Can't choose between sever and Idle Talk but it is definitely the best era and album

[@djamby]

The looks like the closet that little clump hides behind in drops! I also got ridiculously excited when she started walking into it.

[@MTPNL]

So many shots of places we've seen in play, good worker, sever and i believe even ; john?! It's great.

[@BatteriesDead]

I really liked this one :) second favorite, Sever will always be no. 1 in my heart.

[@AndyZaturno]

In some videos, she can levitate things and stuff. Like magic powers. She's not representing a common human.

[@TheAmiwhoami]

So beautiful - I'm crying again. And now I go through the dusty rabbit hole to ;john

[@mioespacio]

A story that continues, Take breaks, Go to sleep and makes a introspection about what Was and what Will be. I do not know where it ends, but I what to keep LIVEIING this STORY.

[@osuperlegal]

Iamamiwhoami is perfect in every video. her musics is fantastic.

[@sheldonhatch8255]

This piece really hit home- tugs at my heartstrings

[@RocketROCKET1234]

I remember when I first listened to this song I didn't know what she was saying... now I can't stop singing along!

[@HeadChefOnarazi]

Oh my God, I don't know how it's possible for her to amaze me more and more every song that comes out. There should be a law against it ...On second thought no there shouldn't.

[@BuildingHP]

I feel like this closes another segment. Really interesting imagery, a long journey back "home" that was.

[@JamesMajdali]

Even when every member of iamamiwhoami has died, their work will remain in various media and minds of youth. As long as the Earth sustains life, iamamiwhoami is immortal. (just like all recorded and massively copied media, right?)

[@nopoopallowed]

Not at first. But I bought KIN off of iTunes and I plan to hopefully preorder the physical album. Only band I really care for enough to buy. This project is amazing.

[@Jipski_D]

Yes, it is! Breathtaking is just the right word!

[@rconnorcarpenter]

Lots of symbols for containment. The clumps evoking the rectilinear shape definitely relates to the bookshelf from in due order. If you think of iamamiwhoami's aesthetic, they have always juxtaposed the artificial with nature; the geometric, cubic shapes found in artificial packaging and building with the organic structures of nature.

[@scarredqatsi]

Once again, thank you for this. You have forever changed music and videos. Raised the bar to an almost impossible level.
