[@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 ❤️❤️❤️

[@joaoleodoro4918]

I can't believe i hugged this woman

[@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

[@ImTheNewFruit]

She is so underrated that its pysically hurts.

[@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.

[@eric9508]

this is still magic af 4 me after 5 years.

[@smellersby2636]

Her voice and melody still do magic :)

[@eric9508]

@@smellersby2636 YES IT IS

[@Juliaanaclaraable]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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 :)

[@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

[@sebhma]

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

[@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

[@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

[@moodyangel]

🌹

[@katherineternova921]

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

[@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

[@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?

[@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.

[@danielsonsilveira]

Essa música acaba comigo! É muita perfeição.

[@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. ❤

[@CarassiusRedcap]

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

[@graphictrain5003]

my alltime fav song

[@AndyZaturno]

She gave me life.

[@AndyZaturno]

SHE'S THE NEW QUEEN OF MY LIFE.

[@juicyphi]

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

[@ottolettuce]

[@cybermatrixxx]

greetings from Russia! We love Jonna Lee

3:48 Perfection

[@lucasr1074]

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

[@pKoltsu]

The Best song of her

[@mourningteahouse6028]

This is probably still my favourite.

[@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.

[@fischkekskreistoast4914]

She is beautyful.

[@saidleib]

almost 10 years later it looks lile it was released last month 🥺

[@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.

[@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 💜

[@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

[@bishythebish728]

The most powerful song of Jonna Lee

[@AndyZaturno]

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

[@jerrygarza7969]

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

[@ZeTrystan]

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

[@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."

[@pinduxa2020]

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

[@hyperborean72]

there is so much vulnerable tenderness in this melody and video

[@viktor8492]

Hace 4 años que esto me partió el corazón

[@JotaC]

No creo que hace 4 años...

[@viktor8492]

Jota C lindo! el audio sale antes del vídeo.

[@viktor8492]

Jota C 2012 - 2016🙋

[@JotaC]

eliaan si, recuerdo el día en que el vídeo fue publicado, parece que fue Ayer... :(

[@viktor8492]

[@dominnygobye445]

O Brasil te ama !!

[@BureauDosAssassinos]

SIM!

[@barbarairisshaforostov734]

+AssassinsMB simm :')

[@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.

[@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!

[@TWIMC_Tarsyo]

Got very emotional hearing this music Live

[@chromesthesia]

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

[@vii1663]

Still my favorite song after so long!

[@wj2713]

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

[@djamby]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@user-bo1ue1ur3t]

enduring masterpiece; the crowning achievement of the project

[@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'.

[@deliriouslily]

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

[@gustavodiamancci4227]

i'm crying! this is out this world

[@pablingarciac]

Masterpice ❤ My favorite of Kin

[@purewish]

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

[@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

[@AuCoinDuMonde]

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

[@MrIvarlira]

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

[@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.

[@nightdreamer0000]

I am now convinced that all the spaces in the KIN series represent deep and specific mental states!

[@geoffolehane]

I'm seeing her live in May in Boston.

[@YourReckLesSDreamer]

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

[@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.

[@denvst1331]

Soo touching. Love it

[@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!

[@scarredqatsi]

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

[@SlyctonOfficial]

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

[@TheAmiwhoami]

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

[@TWIMC_Tarsyo]

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

[@vii1663]

My all time favorite song of them

[@BuildingHP]

Can we all just come to a consensus that even though we all have our favorite songs from Kin (mine is Play), Idle Talk is the one song.. the one song that encompasses all of Kin? The one who represents all of it?

[@ignaciogato]

I just love this song , a big mood 💖

[@MrSnobbear]

The magic of this music is in her eyes besides her voice

[@AndyZaturno]

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

[@AndyZaturno]

My favorite song from KIN hands down.

[@MTPNL]

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

[@Jipski_D]

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

[@boberikson1242]

This is so beautiful.

[@wj2713]

I remember when this vid just got less than 500 views but now we see greatness spreads quite well

[@ryancca]

I know what you mean. For a while I stopped watching fearing in the end it would be an already really famous singer, But I couldn't get her out of my head, so I came back for this amazing journey. Also I would say she reads the comments. It's said they monitor everything. I just hope she realizes what has been created.

[@mvvnl1ght269]

Such a talented woman.

[@andreyspish]

What a very very good brilliant songwriting

[@andreyspish]

it's so weird that I came back to this project years later, but I can definitely see why it stuck with me

[@user-bo1ue1ur3t]

it never goes away

[@dmbforevver]

quite a few T-like shots.love the bittersweetness of it!

[@amkali24]

aren't they? God's design is perfect...I think she is beautiful..she is not average..amazing artist!

[@JotaC]

you're right, the true art never die

[@martinmartinmartinmartinmarti]

shes gorgeous, love her music

[@BuildingHP]

Today I heard for the first time one of Jonna Lee's songs from before iamamiwhoami. It sounded cutesy; it was a whimsical love song. It was an act comparable to Sara Bareilles or Regina Spektor. And then I compare that, to something like this and I think 'Wow, this is more than music, this whole project is an amalgamation of music and art." While both sides are respectable, I think this one is much more honorable.

[@yokichi40]

I love her! everything!

[@roagonzalo]

i hate i'm not artistic or smart enough to understand the meaning of these videos.... but i still think they are pretty good and unique... real art.

[@heyjudette]

I can't stop replaying this. How are there only 304 views???

[@rudyarcadiarudamas4207]

my heart cries everytime i listen to this song

[@cantforgetyou]

This is the best produced song on her new album.

[@kevvie100]

yes, iamamiwhoami is indeed very pop and there's no shame in that.

[@BureauDosAssassinos]

Her eyes

[@BuildingHP]

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