Sharon Van Etten - Serpents (Unreleased 2012 Music Video)

[@kennethrkennedy]

The Walking Dead introduced me to this awesome song.

[@janozek1]

Just like me.

[@ayushchauhancricket1567]

Yeap

[@tomslade8731]

Does anyone else every so often tear up a little with the over whelming feeling of nostalgia whilst reading comments from 10 years ago with these old classics playing as you read them and just think how truly phenomenal TWD is? Best show ever, been watching since day 1!

[@AnitaTapio]

I do that too with all the music i love

[@yogidevendrabiriyani1777]

Yes!!!❤❤❤

[@mappingshaman5280]

Not as good as breaking bad, the wire, the sopranos.

[@The_Knight_Mayor]

I return often. 😢

[@olestokke]

I thought the Walking Dead really went downhill after season 2. I just hope AMC stops making walking dead shows, and let someone else reboot the show

[@eggsngritstn]

Simply one of the best recordings of the last twenty years.

[@iturriasj]

Fun fact for those who don't get the newsletter (you should sign up!) Sharon's hair and makeup in this video were left over from her national tv debut on Jimmy Fallon the night before

[@iturriasj]

Jimmy Fallon performance here btw: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aV6vlqaCeLuJiKc

[@chewy99.]

Makeup is kinda bad for your face I don’t think you should leave it on that long

[@dotsunmoon]

@@chewy99.that’s why it’s an interesting fact. And probably saved herself a fortune having it professionally done for her video even if it was for/from the night before. Smart.

[@millermike5739]

Who fucking cares?

[@KSRGUYW]

She doesn't need make up, she's beautiful enough as is.

[@eduardori.v]

I discovered this song when I was 15 (I'll be 20 soon) in the worst moment of my life, no friends, no social life, nothing pleased me, I listened to seventeen a few years later and Sharon is one of my many favorite alternative artists, this song struck me brings back many memories😭❤️

[@Al3ksandrOrlov]

Genuinely one of my favourite songs ever

[@physiatra3938]

Wow this music video is like time traveling. It’s like waking up and being 10 years younger 🤯.

[@deblunt]

this song is the perfect embodiment of the walking dead. something about this song is just so amazing

[@cardwolf]

"You hold the mirror up to everyone else." I know too many people like that.... Thanks for finally unleashing this awesomeness!

[@SimplyStellla]

I was reluctant to watch this because I love this song so much and already had the imagery in my head that matched the lyrics so well, I didn’t want to ruin it. This video is perfect, its nearly parallel to what lived in my head when I listened. The raw emotion you exude on Tramp is unmatched. Brava Sharon & Naomi!!

[@chewy99.]

I imagined her in jail and sitting the whole time lol probably because this song played when Rick’s group was at the prison in the walking dead when this song was on the show.

[@daisyhart789]

This is my driving around late at night, scream singing and crying song. I love you SVE!

[@Kakashikewl]

First heard it on TWD some 10 years ago, now got remembered of it through Brave New World. Timeless song, really.

[@UndeadScourge]

No one cares where you heard it from.

[@Kakashikewl]

​​@@UndeadScourge Why so negative? I was just complementing the song.

[@UndeadScourge]

@@Kakashikewl stfu no one cares what you have to say

[@HenriqueHCA14]

This brings me back so much ''You step outside, you risk your life. Take a drink of water, and you risk your life and nowadays you breathe and you risk your life. Every moment now, you don't have a choice. The only thing you can choose is what you're risking it for.''

[@SlowDIIV]

What a beautiful and electrifying song ⚡🎸🥹

[@BulentGorucu]

now that's what I call a hidden gem

[@josephc8804]

One of the most beautiful, heartbreaking, interesting, confusing, empowering and magical songs ever produced. So many layers of the emotion spectrum mixed into an audio recording that also so happens to be one of my favourite songs ever. I always turn to this song.

[@pawsofistanbul284]

I got to experience this song thanks to the tv series The Maid. Awesome voice, music and it gives me the feeling that i can get over things in the end. Whatever you are fighting for, fight for it. Ps:you should the tv series The Maid, it is amazing!

[@MoriahDreams123]

This is nice. Like a visit from an old friend, along with a visit from the person I was when I first started listening to SVE. Also? 2012?? Holy shit. That was the year everyone said the world would end. Some people say it probably did. We've come a loooooong way. There's still such a long way to go.

[@stevei-c8739]

Favourite track. Was privileged to experience it live when SVE played in Bristol back in 2019.

[@randalprater]

This is songwriting perfection. I could listen to this a hundred times in a row and still want more.

[@rbeigh4761]

I still remember the first time I heard this song. It was a brush with genius - the powerful vocals and lyrics, the minor chords, frenetic strumming, the wailing solo in the background, the drumming. Gothic and dark song by a talented artist.

[@bronwynjones374]

My grandmother’s people are Vanatta, originally Van Etten. I bet she’s my distant cousin…we sure look similar. beautiful song!

[@camilafanmary]

what a timeless masterpiece of a song

[@malfagaming7739]

Can't believe this song has been part of my driving playlist for more than 10 years. It's not a big playlist, but only the ones that are worth listening over and over are kept there. And I never get tired of them. Thank you, looking forward to add more songs from you!

[@JonathArn1655]

Good job Rick

[@suljaard]

Beutiful, thank you Sharon for existing.

[@Sandy83]

I only found out about this song today - she is amazing!

[@VitoriaWard]

criminally underrated

[@shepard1478]

We love you,Sharon!

[@Meesha1994]

My favourite song ever

[@drewshaver137]

The is the TWD theme to me

[@nemesis9410]

SAME. Generally the soundtrack was cool, but when this song came up, it hit HARD.

[@Myles00000]

Sharon, such a great song!

[@MUSIC-yl5er]

🚒🚒🚒 Best song from the Walking Dead

[@fxdx68]

what a talented woman, hard to believe somebody can have so much talent

[@AndrewMarcello]

I LOVE THIS SONG AND INSTRUMENTAL

[@highbury1972]

It’s so cool SVE released the belated video of Serpents! This is my favourite track from her. I first saw her play in Brighton at St George‘s church and it was an amazing gig…. Success has now bought her to larger venues.

[@jusjjnmaxx]

Why are you the prettiest in this video?❤❤❤

[@arcticsmoke302]

This song is so aggressive with love and hate but mostly internal hate not blaming someone else but themself and this video shows that even more. Love it love it love ❤️

[@sonial1839]

Why didn't you release this??? Why? I would have loved to have seen this back when I discovered this song in 2013. She was so pretty and seeing this at the time would have been a great experience : (

[@bragarecap]

Essa música tá marcada por fazer parte da trilha sonora de The walking dead, pra sempre em minha mente 🥲

[@6.7_NoNeim]

i think im in love with this song

[@PriscilaSantos-wr5bb]

Unfortunately it took me so long to discover Sharon's incredible work. But at least I'm enchanted by it now ☺️

[@user-us3jy2mb5r]

me to

[@madmax85367]

Great song 👍Love so much TWD. Greetings from Ukraine ❤

[@iturriasj]

So wonderful to see a time capsule like this. I could sense you didn't quite know what to do with your hands. You've come a long way since then as a performer. Thanks for releasing this!

[@BJflorida28]

I've waited years for this....amazing song and video !!!

[@mahonrimartins1767]

Still goosebumps 😍 11 years??

[@Tomekmusic]

How I love this song… and perfect video!

[@NikkiM11]

There is only love here for you Sweetest Sharon. I am so inspired by your way of being. You have this way of helping me to feel connected to myself and others in a wholesome and genuinely understood way with your venerable and compassionate to the soul music and even the words in between songs, sometimes especially those. What you do and share with everyone IS the joyful treasure of an experience you feel in your heart when you see of a rainbow or hold your loved ones after feeling all of life's contrasting rains and winds. Thank you for every little thing that YOU do and for all that you have been through angel. Thank you for your sparkling radiant hope and light energy. ✨✨✨

[@_witchgrrrl_]

Não consigo imaginar que fazem quase 10 anos que encontrei essa música. Na real ela me encontrou, e desde então Sharon é uma das minhas cantoras favoritas. Simplesmente perfeita.

[@emersonramos8624]

Pensei que eu fosse o único Br aqui ksks

[@matheusrrkortz]

​@@emersonramos8624a sharon tem muitos fãs br's graças à série The OA da qual ela fez parte do elenco (na netflix, infelizmente cancelada, fez muito sucesso só no Brasil e algum sucesso nos EUA)

[@Melissa_Sunshine]

Everybody keeps mentioning "The Walking Dead" series but is there anyone old school who is here because of "The Lost Girl"? It's my favourite soundtrack which was used at the end of season 2. The perfect ending with a touch of this great song.

[@orioshotikashi3678]

my favorite song

[@omarfarouk9382]

one of the best songs that I ever heard

[@Stretesky]

Lyrics It was a close call Sitting in the back of the room With a bowl you had owned But they didn't know Close in on my black eye I feel safe at times Certain emblems Tell me it's time Serpents in my mind Looking for your crimes Everything changes I don't want mine to this time You enjoy sucking on dreams So I will fall asleep with someone other than you I had a thought you would take me seriously And listen on Serpents in my mind I am searching for your crimes Everything changes In time You'll stay frozen in time Collaging girls Controlling minds You hold the mirror well To everybody else Serpents in my mind Trying to forgive your crimes Everyone changes in time I hope he changes this time

[@JorgeOdoguardi]

ACA LA MAS DEPRESIVA/PERDIDAAAA.... DESDE ARGENTINA. DISFRUTANDO ESTE ROLON

[@joeford826]

Must be incredibly hard to watch the younger you in this context. Sharon is a hero!

[@281sven]

One of the best songs ever! Wow, thnx for sharing

[@HopeandTrust]

Lights, camera, action 😵‍💫

[@theNomadz]

Any shows planned for 2023 in support of Tramp reissue?

[@mistery-ed7900]

Tramp was album of the year in 2012.

[@roger1724]

Such a good song, Tramp is amazing :')

[@vyomab515]

In time, ill stay frozen in time

[@stewartwardle9486]

So many amazing songs on The Walking Dead 👍🏽👍🏽

[@h.d.6017]

As an older fan it visually reminds me a lot Patti Smith early performances. Cute

[@foreveryactionthereisacons1683]

Absolutely.

[@YaGampang]

After listening the song over and over again

[@atlantaligrimes]

Bu şarkıyı 10 sene önce The Walking Dead sayesinde keşfetmiştim vay be şimdi keşfetime düştü tekrar dinleyip o günlere gittim duygulandım 😢

[@michtales]

LOVED IT! Keep sharing your talent, it's healing ♥

Trilha sonora filme zumbis 😊

[@DIEGO-bu5ze]

Hermoso, gracias Sharon!!

[@JMBE21]

So nice to be back to this song

[@patricio.brevis-acuna]

That was quite powerful. Maybe it reminded of another 80s song about a boy describing what he was going through

[@dancewalkertarot]

Love love love this song. Thank you so much.

[@bhamacuk]

Song is incredible. There's a lot of power in it. I love the sounds of the instruments and effects. Also reminiscent of PJ Harvey

[@johnnymonsteroficial]

❤️ always rockin tha house!!!

[@kz.m4251]

Well... That was a nice surprise. :) Raw. TY Sharon!

[@maxschrickel6683]

Love this song

[@Spartacus85]

La nostalgia de Rick me ha traído hasta aquí.

[@jfoeodkapfk]

Capo fret 2, Standard tuning It's all Em, D, and C if anyone wants to learn like I just did 👍🏻

[@youyoumata]

One of my favorites 😍

[@hayleychewins2435]

Thank you so much for sharing this. I love it.

[@laradiantrr9357]

I have always loved just about every song you have created, Sharon. Been to quite a few of your live shows in La La land too...before all the 2020 paradigm shift restrictions that is. I would have been happy to see/hear you sing this straight at the 🎥 without the blinking lights and snake imagery. To be fair, I am admitting, I do not care for snakes of any kind serpentine entities, but nevertheless I WA a hoping the artistic direction would align and resonate with the quality of your music and the quality of your bravery for singing straight into the camera your pain and passion. This doesn't affect my appreciation for your song, but since the song isn't new...rather just the video...I simply am giving you my honest feedback of what I thought of the video itself. Sometimes music videos enhance the art...other times they minimize it. This one just splashed a neutral black and white blink in time for me.

[@valeriaferreira6001]

Essa música só me lembra Lost Girl

[@johnIZaUWL]

Wowzers 💜😎🤘 that was F’ing INTENSE And was anyone expecting a Zumba class like that one video Sharon did last year eh???

[@clumsiii]

same Sharon different decade what has time done to us? thank you for being true to yourself. shit these days not an honest one anywhere on tv ( ya -- this is tv PS: Hannah Frances is amazing w a great band. New kids are coming up!

[@jabbarcorrales]

You can feel so much of the vibes from her track "comeback kid" in this song. It was probably brewing in her since then.

[@andrewrobertson6004]

Wow, fantastic 80's vibe video, the visuals plus the intensity of the lyrics are amazing. Well done Sharon!

[@krysthopher]

Thank you for this, Sharon ♥

[@AndersonsoarespequenoSoa-sl8vj]

Ela tem a voz parecida com a florence the machine, que maravilha essa música, conheci na série the walking dead

[@matheusrrkortz]

O feat florence & Sharon é meu motivo de estar vivo

[@sahian8340]

This song was good then and it's good now!!

[@BrianEdworthythewolfworx]

Love love love this !
