she was TRULY ahead of her time to release stuff like this in the early 2010s. it sounds amazingly current and the visuals are top notch. can't get enough of her

[@SuperRobbertino]

It was 2010, not 1910. The world was not so different... Anyway, she is amazing!

[@calenbolo]

First song I heard was Chasing Kites, she is great

what does "current" sound like? lol this sound has been around since gary numan

[@ciaranmcbrearty]

this song saved me from the depths of heroin addiction. it always makes me feel totally uplifted and free. no words could ever express my thanks to the band for giving me the strength to free myself. i love you guys.

[@VincentDaFox]

It sure is uplifting! One of my favorites, always a good song to dance to :)

[@tenevas666]

Hello. Is exact ? This song save you from héroïne addiction ? I lové this mélodie but î'm french and the translation is compliqued for me. Possible explication. ;) for me. Thank you.

Ciaran mc brearty i'm currently on my 5th day of being clean from heroin and this song really helped lift my spirits when i was doubting myself

[@SmooshGoo]

I heard this song play on the radio while I was waiting for my mom in the car 1 year ago, I dont usually listen to the radio but I came across our local college radio and heard this song!, I listened till the song ended but couldn't hear what the song name was, so I searched, endlessly. This was the first time I had to go to a radio broadcasters website to actually find the song list that they had played that day I managed to find it, and I am extremely grateful.

[@pablocalzadamahave8889]

So glad you came across this song and project so randomly! It's the best audiovisual thing I have ever witnessed. Unique sounds, deep meanings, amazing videos and all the whole mandragora myth it's really creative. One of my favorite bands for sure!

[@JoshGoingRAW]

That's so impressive a radio station was playing this song!!! That makes me so happy 🥰

THIS SONG IS GOING TO PROTECT MY SOUL

[@oli_yah]

Watching this masterpiece in a dusty rabbit hole of corona 2020. I need some of that toilet paper ma’am!

[@aynosekeponer]

May the god of us protect our soul!

[@Bobster992]

One of her best songs in my opinion.

[@Dennzer1]

It IS the best, hands down, and that's not a knock on her other material.

[@Bobster992]

N & Y are my two all time favorites of hers so far.

[@Dennzer1]

BobbyLovesLV n, t, y, o and : john are all fantastic!

[@Bobster992]

That's really funny, throw in fountain and that's my all time favorite playlist of her music. I also like play and idle talk from kin. Have you seen any of her live recordings? Check out the username agiantsheep

[@Dennzer1]

BobbyLovesLV I will thank you!

[@JohnCornnell]

Revisiting this song in 2023.

[@okrine]

I listened to this song a lot when i was severely depressed in high school, i would listen to it in the morning getting ready and sing it to myself on my way there to give myself strenghth lol

[@Sektion9]

Same but in my thirties lol . Timeless music.

[@hannahb8190]

from the bottom of my heart, this is my favorite song from iamamiwhoami and will be forever. I simply just want to scream this for everyone.

I'll never forgive myself for discovering her only in 2017

[@piotrgreczka3569]

Same here. So many years lost 😑

[@chromesthesia]

Got into her in 2010. Weren't you behind me in line?

[@davidwemebol]

fortunately, a friend of mine showed her to me in 2014 when she just had released 'blue''

[@jadynnhowell6068]

How do you think I feel? Only discovering her a few days ago in 2019 !!? Its saddening

[@ItsCoreyLynxxYall]

I discovered her in 2016 when I was at a club and a drag queen performed to Hunting For Pearls. I was standing in the back by the sub woofers and it sounded orgasmic.

[@Filippo2192]

If they could come up with something this amazing with almost no budget no popstar should be ever justified for product placement

[@Alikgamingchannell]

no

[@tecnow]

Filippo2192 👍🏻

[@MrIvarlira]

Filippo2192 Concordo 1000%!!!!

[@Whitney24241]

Honestly, that's what I thought when I saw this too. But when I said it to one of my friends in the film industry, he said actually they probably did spend quite a bit of money making it...

[@ethank5681]

Filippo2192 they aren’t ever justified they just want money lol

[@electricpuppy]

this song saved my life

[@andrewfallon3998]

Snap.

[@robbie686]

Does anyone remember the stories of the Sirens? They would call ships into the shallows with their beautiful voices and songs They would shipwreck passing ships and drown many sailors or they would sit on the rocks in content and die of thirst or hunger listening to these Angelic voices. That's the way I feel! Thankfully I'm not on a boat!

[@MrAphex117]

I can't get over this track... unbelievable artist. If half the artists out there had 10% of her talent the world would be a better place. :)

[@manoman2u]

Her first album should be praised. So much meaning. Take this over any what’s on the radio today. Even now.

[@Maxianaconda]

I usually don't throw that term around loosely, but this song really is a masterpiece.

[@Mysicalgreenunicorn03]

My coming out anthem. It’s incredible. Chills. Now I’m tearing up again.

[@ebl3212]

this video is SO good , I love it when videos aren't that easy to understand and a challenge to interpret it , there is so much behind this!

[@Chiledatos]

HAN PASADO CASI 7 AÑOS Y ESTO SIGUE SIENDO LA MEJOR ROLA DEL UNIVERSO!!!!

tru fans dont skip the first minute of the intro

[@andrewfallon3998]

No they don't... 🤣 I've tried to skip a few times and I can't. I need the whole hit.

[@aquanaucs]

I'm thinking this is the most beautiful, apt, and significant song by iamamiwhoami for me. Too good.

[@ruven3230]

I'm never going to get tired of you Jonna. Thank you for existing in my life.

[@JoshGoingRAW]

[@Lauren-hu1qj]

god i remember finding this song when it came out. i was 14 and it was the first time i really heard anything different from the stuff on the radio. Loved it then and love it now

[@Tanru2000]

6:40 - there's a woman lining up too!! The next in line on the right!! I have never noticed that before. I love how there's always something new to notice in all the iamamiwhoami videos.

[@macielfelipemarcos]

I will never forget when this came out. It was so unexpected and fresh! It was more pop-y than anything they had ever released but it was so soothing and well done that nobody complained. I still love this and find it as fresh and contagious as I did when it came out. iamamiwhoami is excelence!

[@CougarSynth]

These two people are one of the few doors to musical creativity, perhaps one of the most challenging because it is impossible for it to go out of style.

[@alessandroantonini8253]

To everyone that views this video after March 2016: the song title is "; john" and not "john" I get the desire to uniform all the video titles, TWIMC, I do. But hey, this is iamamiwhoami youtube channel, we pretty much expect all songs to be from iamamiwhoami. Plus, this way you mess with peculiar song titles like this one (the semicolon separating these songs from the b-o-u1-u2-n-t-y cluster was genius).

[@alquinn8576]

+Alessandro Antonini you know who doesn't like semicolons? God. God doesn't like them; stop using them!

[@BlueHazyDreams]

@@alquinn8576 I will never stop using semicolons; therefore, you will have to take them from my cold, dead hands.

[@BayHelezon]

Used to be clean, Now I'm as filthy as can be Scrubbing off every spot Used to be mean, Now I'm as good as can be Raise me up, I'm your star May the god of me protect my soul As I stay a little while longer In this dusty rabbit hole To sing my song chained onto your bed May the god of me protect my soul As I stay a little while longer In this dusty rabbit hole To sing my song chained onto your bed Used to be told, My silence is gold Coughing up every drop Used to keep small, Now I'm granting you all, Stepping up, I'm your star May the god of me protect my soul As I stay a little while longer In this dusty rabbit hole To sing my song chained onto your bed May the god of me protect my soul As I stay a little while longer In this dusty rabbit hole To sing my song chained onto your bed (Used to be clean, now I'm filthy as can be)

[@scarletting]

I could watch her dance to hymns & I would be happy.

[@therevufi]

her absolute BEST song!!!

[@istirmorons]

Jonna’s songs give me sense of freedom. Her fun, wacky dancing was the main push for me to explore movement, which has given me much joy and many unforgettable experiences. One of the first ones was beckoning my “I don’t know how to dance…” teenage friends in 2011 with “It’s ok, let’s do the wacky dance like iamamiwhoami @ 4:23 !” So many memories just because of this song, not to mention any others… I’m so grateful I’ve had chance to discover her. :’)

[@diegodillan]

No future songs they release will ever able to beat this one. It's a true masterpiece.

[@SmooshGoo]

this needs more views everyone must listen to this song at least once this is absolutely otherworldly

[@angrd020]

i'm determined not to be a jerk about it when, in some future year or decade, a whole generation of people discover iamamiwhoami and claim this music as their own. because this is one of the richest seams of audiovisual art in our era. i don't need to own this. but i feel privileged to have witnessed it at the moment of its release, and to have loved it in the years immediately since.

[@andsegovia1463]

It really brings me a lot of memories 😭😭 I was a huge iamamiwhoami fan from their very beginning until 2018. The level of creativity Jonna and Claes delivered in the bounty era was top notch, from the concepts, the visuals, the "live" concert, everything. To be honest, I lowkey stopped caring about the project after the first ionalee project (everybody afraid to be forgotten), but it doesn't take away the fact that they are so brilliantly talented and their music accompanied me thorough almost a decade. Lots of love from Mexico 🇲🇽💗

[@robbie686]

To whom it may concern: Johna Lee, first how can I get your complete audio/video collection I am in the U.S.. You are an amazing artist all around. I am normally a Rock and Roll kinda guy, but love to venture out into all other types of music and you blow the doors off of anything Madonna could dream up! Second I am a song writer and would love to work with you or have you be my executive producer. Unlike you I am very reclusive and secretive but I want to bust that door down! Third, last. but not least, What the .... only half a million! Should be closer to billion views. I might have a few songs and a style that might help you and me. Don't get me wrong I love your style, in fact do not change just grow. Open minded I am. Sometimes a little change is a good thing. Rob
