Kalandra - I Am (Official Music Video)

[@miahan8988]

The part with finding the inner child tossed in the dark cellar of mind and accepting it made me burst into tears.

[@Pixabove]

Creds to the video makers! Stop motion like this takes A LOT of time and effort to make. Really good job!

[@harpenfluit]

I'm happy to see this art still exists in a world with AI and fake CGI.

[@TheRealSkeletor]

@@harpenfluit fake CGI? As opposed to real CGI?

[@marksoreilly94]

​@TheRealSkeletor Shrek was a documentary don't you know?

[@ericpraline]

Agreed. Really, really well done

[@elvenmagespencer]

Truly incredible. I keep coming back to watch this and I still can’t wrap my head around how much time and effort and love was poured into this. So much attention to small details, it is definitely the most beautiful music video I have ever seen and it fits the song so well.

[@katinka3764]

This piece is profound, moving and left me in silent awe and amazement. It's clear to me that both the music, words and video were made by 'old souls'. This is a collaboration of wonderful Artists at the highest level. Chapeau bas.

[@Emily-mj6oh]

I am so moved. I am sat feeding my baby. In tears. I know my daughter will never have to heal her inner child the way I have. Thankyou Kalandra profound and beautiful. ❤ and the stopmotion animations! Amazing ❤

[@melancolielupine2023]

I'm also crying rn. My inner child is so beaten and broken, but I try to heal her day after day. I hope to have my own baby with my soulmate one day, and he/she will NEVER have to suffer the same traumas as us, bc we'll protect him/her at all costs. I wish you the most beautiful, happy and fulfilling life with your little girl / family

[@Emily-mj6oh]

@melancolielupine2023 What a beautiful response ❤️ thankyou so much! You will have all of that one day! And the traumas you have faced will make you the best mama. Wishing you well, peace and love ❤️ 🙏

[@SylvieVeronica]

I don't like the fact the yellow guy left the person that is fighting her demons. It is the truth the person that suffers always stays alone and abondoned cause someone healthy does not understand and cannot immagine what the other person is going through. It is easier just leave the person that needs help and support the most.

[@chadgendason]

Ok so this is officially the best stop motion animation since Tools "Sober" not to mention this song is incredibly heavy.. Kalandra is literally so under rated here in the US.. Been one of my favorite bands for years... I hope their label wakes up and promotes them here in the US..

[@ste4lth237]

I don't know if you're into this style, but there's also A Different World, from Korn, which has a stop motion animation (at least it is in the style, I don't know if it's a real one but I guess so). 😉

[@Yenmurral07]

Pain and misery, it all seems to follow me Wherever I go, 'ever I go, 'ever I go I can't change the past but it's always coming back Wherever I go, 'ever I go, 'ever I go Ahh-ahh Ahh-ahh And now I repeat the things that they did to me They did to me, they did to me, they did to me I'm getting older, still look over my shoulder So I don't repeat, I won't repeat, I won't repeat I tried to forgive them, I tried to forget Though they had forgotten, I am sorry I can't Now I'm both the victim and I am to blame For all the things that I am I am It would do me good to hear them admit the truth Straight to my face, yeah to my face, yeah to my face I'm afraid it is too late to ever say I never made The same mistakes, the same mistakes, the same mistakes I tried to forgive them, I tried to forget Though they had forgotten, I am sorry I can't Now I'm both the victim and I am to blame For all the things that I am I am I am I am It goes round and round this ancestry Weaving our spirits for centuries And it goes on and on and on...

[@jondough2928]

Thank you friend 🙏

[@melancolielupine2023]

This is literally my life story. I'm the blue girl, self-isolated in this tiny house. The yellow one is my soulmate, coming to say hi, and while I try to stop him to enter my house, he comes in anyway to share a meal and force me out of my loneliness. There are portrays of "demons" on the walls, depicting my loved ones, and they appear like being enemies to me, only symbolizing the guilt I feel for having betrayed them. They make me unable to speak and move - like my guilt, caused by the traumas "they" (my agressors) inflicted on me. Then, yellow one leave the house, not to abandon me, but to force me to confront my inner demons and to free myself. It's why I descend into the darkness - the basement - running from the guilt/traumas, fighting them until I find this tiny baby - the baby I wish I'll have with my yellow one soon. Baby and me are staring at ourselves, both "waking up" and he gives me the strength to break the wall, and escape from the dark lonely house, towards light and freedom. Thanks for that, Kalandra. It's why you're one of my favorite bands ever. Blessed be

[@ryanboyd157]

Wow 😮

[@michelebri121]

I saw the baby as her inner child that she re-integrated. That's just my interpretation though.

[@melancolielupine2023]

@@michelebri121 I had this exact same idea too! I just went for the more personally close to my life interpretation, aka my hope to have a child with my soulmate buttt... Tbh, the baby could absolutely ALSO represent my poor inner child. Could be both of them!

[@Xitaychin]

This baby is his soul, his true inner others buried

[@melancolielupine2023]

@@Xitaychin I'm cool with your own vision, it's what's beautiful with music and art, everyone can interpret it as they feel ;)

[@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh]

Been listening to it for a while, and only now heard the part of back vocals in the field. Also now realized that the yellow thing on the mouth is "saying the same thing" their relative said, I thought it's shutting the mouth before, but it makes sense now. It's really well made and the song is great.

[@stewartmitchell2660]

I didn't expect this to resonate so deeply within like I'm sitting here weeping after taking this all in

[@obsolete959]

As someone who comes from an abusive, and alcoholic family, I cannot even begin to describe how much this song means to me. In my childhood I developed a lot of narcissistic tendencies just to survive and now whenever shit hits the fan, I'll have to consciously fight against the urge to turn into a shit person. I'm so much better than my parents were, but it's hard to remember and make into a reality.

[@waynedexter]

Have you ever thought that maybe your narcissistic tendencies are genetic or at least partially?

[@shuratobrc]

@@waynedexter don't throw that deterministic bullshit upon him, without even considering the understanding brought by epigenetics or if this process can be affected by the mind.

[@waynedexter]

@@shuratobrc So I can understand you better, why is it bullshit?

[@shuratobrc]

@@waynedexter science doesn’t know if it’s the brain that brings about consciousness or if brain activity is a product of consciousness. That said, what you presented to our friend is a huge wall to his effort in trying to stop hurting people, for that negative part will use what you said as a means to convince him to give in.

[@waynedexter]

@@shuratobrc I’m not trying convince him to give in. But I am trying to convince him to not beat himself up for having bad thoughts.

[@karolts777]

Very happy that I have known this incredible band. We were passing for difficult moments here in south of Brazil, and the youtube music recommended to me the song "The State of the world"...Hearing that song was a medicine to my soul. And now, that new beautiful music video and song again, fulling me with love. Thanks for doing truly art, Kalandra!

[@deletado12]

Hey, good vibes to you!

[@defenestrator3840]

Beautiful! This gives me serious TOOL vibes, which is a very good thing... And Martyna Koleniec did a fantastic job, there is so much emotion in there and it complements the music perfectly. Thank you for this!

[@Myria83]

With a bit of Steven Wilson... ❤

[@OGMattman]

more katatonia than both, but sure. similar chording structure, especially in the heavier parts, and the solo was so katatonia. way beyond tool. but there was a tool like section.

[@matsu9999]

​@@elliotalders0neh? What about wings for Marie?

[@ZrinkaMendas]

Kudos to the whole band. The only way to bring out any kind of situations you might have found yourself in, is to talk. And talk through this song has a healing effect. One also has been mindful of the fact that children do not talk but they see and they remember. It remains to get seen how they turn this out, positive or bad? My hope is that we all focus on positive as that is only way to heal yourself. As a deaf child I was bullied a lot and had a lot of difficulties at school. But I decided that just because of that I would not become like those bullies. So, thank you band for telling us this story.❤

[@Dadrianam]

I keep coming back to this , and the visuals add so much. Amazing work!

[@aconnors8]

💙💙💙 This is a lesson that keeps coming up for me. It's so important to focus on my own healing. Otherwise the pain and anger I hold onto within only manifests into everything that hurt me in the first place. The cycle just continues forever and multiplies. 💙💙💙 🌀

This song has led me to an emotional breakdown. And then to an emotional break through. Words cannot express my love and gratitude for helping me find a way through my chaos.

[@bexfloyd7051]

This band is the closest representation of how my soul feels. How I'd make music if I could. Such a gift x

[@blinddattler]

Just wow. This is absolutely incredible.

[@miladfakhraldin]

The song and the video are both great! I found myself in the character and their story, reconnecting with their inner child and finding a new light. So effective and beautiful, and reminds me of the journey I am making.

[@elvenmagespencer]

I can't express how much I love and feel this. This song is so beautiful and raw and the music video had to be so much work and so much effort that was put into this! Simply incredible. This is fuel to every artsy soul 🖤 I cannot wait for the new album to arrive today, thank you so much, Kalandra!

I love how he finds his way back to the light and accepts himself. His house is no longer falling apart and he even got new colours :) very cool! Great details. I also loved how his reflection in the mirror was distorted as he looked at himself; just like our own self views are often distorted when we have unhealed trauma.

[@EnfantSauvage82]

Borders moved me incredibly. And now, after a couple of years of having found my twin flame, you have given birth to this gem of a song, which reflects my twin flame process and my healing of all my shadows and childhood traumas thanks to my twin flame. I cried a lot of emotion when I saw the video clip. We even watched it with my psychologist, and he told me that this song can help heal many, many people. Thank you eternally Kalandra!!!

[@taylajadecouper]

[@ijlayugan4149]

Oh the end just touched my heart. I like that the character still decided to leave the colors on their chest. Its still a part of them (and idk if its intentional but its the same colors as the person they met with long hair)
