The Dresden Dolls - Sing (Music Video)

[@dresdyn100]

I've loved this song since it was first released. After I arrived home from Afghanistan I'd watch the clip and bawl my eyes out. Thank you Amanda and Brian for getting it.

[@smashkin92]

You might one of the rare one who REALLY understands "Sing for the president sing for the terrorists, sing"...

[@ZSinks]

Thanks for your sacrifice.

[@MoonstruckVox]

Whenever I'm feeling unconfident about my singing and I get really depressed and just want to give up, I listen to this song.

[@bbbushhh]

....a bit late but "just sing".....

[@beaux5541]

Sing please it Is so beautiful as You are, so very BEAUTIFUL

[@koryfail]

This song is so beautiful, I started crying when I listened to it.

[@TheHappyGoth]

Years and years after first hearing this song, I still cry.

[@ryeguy48]

I usually have to be in a certain kind of mood for a song to make me cry, especially the first time I hear it. The first time I heard this song was just now. I was in a perfectly normal mood, eating breakfast and watching youtube videos. Then I listened to this. Now I'm crying into my cereal. In a good way though!

[@laurenmeintzer6102]

I've listened to the Dresden dolls since highschool and Amanda is a queen!!!

[@juliagoodsonmusic]

Damn goosebumps. Love when they all sing at the end!! 🥲

[@YouthGoneWild28]

Hands down my favorite song EVER.

[@gdbass]

Holy hell! I can't believe I'm just hearing about this band!! This was incredible!!! Instant Fan!!

[@lhiannon82]

I find her magnificent! Voice, looks, and songwriting abilities.

[@tylor2706]

This is one of the best songs of all time

[@DiScOrDtHeLuNaTiC]

One of the very few songs that can move me to tears.

[@TheMidEnginedLegend]

It just did for me.

[@d34d23]

god, this song brings tears to my eyes...

[@earthtolameeka]

Her voice is literally so beautiful

[@anna_nikole]

I've been a hardcore DD fan for quite a while now and I just now discovered this music video. Ooops.

[@PaleCanid]

+Anna Nikole One of my all time fav DD songs :D

[@ellie050394]

God, I can't watch this without crying!

[@PaleCanid]

my fav dresden song.

[@LifeByCynic]

This will always be my favorite Dolls song. Just sing.

[@djchester10]

you have to respect talent, simple as that. The dolls and Amanda Palmer herself have a thoughtful energy that few others seem to have. Long may her light shine in a sea of darkness.

[@JohnSmith-ff9ew]

Favorite song.

[@SaryWalrus]

This song always makes me feel better.

[@zedata57]

Fantastic song.

[@FirstLast-zv5od]

I heard this song for the first time in Germany back in like 2008 or something, I was repulsed by it. It wasn't the songs fault but my own. I came back to it today because I dunno, it is exquisite now for some reason.

[@GodmadeConscious]

Legend

[@toribjork10]

i love brian's last tom hit at the end, POP!

[@shylsp]

I have always adored you

[@embrassemoi04]

Brian I love your drumming!!!!!!

[@mwfgdkfhdhdj]

thank you maya fennec for introducing me to this beautiful song

[@karinight01]

Great song!!!!

[@muhmuhmuhmonsterr]

This is my favorite song in the world! AFP!!!

[@Lylahkirina]

how can a vid like this get 17 dislikes ??? this song is perfect is the song im a ianist songwriter and singer and is this song i sing when i want to remember who im and why im living my life for music

[@goenaeker666]

Never heard of this band. A hell of a kind of Smashing Pumpkins-sounding duo! Fucking love it!

[@StrawberryGash]

I love the flowers. :)

[@bbbushhh]

....standard reaction...tears in eyes and happy :)

[@fun747]

i love how your name comes form flowers in the attic (or at least that's what it reminds me of)

[@mastiloko]

brilliant!

[@emilianoortega-guerrero2925]

rock and roll yeah

[@bennewton2679]

This song is about forgiveness, not empowerment. Its about looking on the other side to those that you may have hurt or wronged or arguments you didnt see the other side of. Its not a song about self-empowerment. Look at amanda. Thats not her being effing mazzy star over here. This song is looking at the other side of what you know, understand and believe. This is my breakfast, because it humbles me.

[@tect777]

wow!!!!!

[@ellie050394]

@rednoseroxy Her eyebrows are drawn on with liquid eyeliner, not tattooed on.

[@JudyBallantine]

im in this!!!! i love u guys

[@johncrawford5449]

Damn i forgot all about this song and just revisited it. So fuckin powerful. Its rare a song gets me so emotionally. YOU MOTHERFUCKERS JUST SING FOR ME!!!!

[@sojournersunrise2290]

It's the Spirit Bomb! GOKUUU!!

[@featheredskyblue]

This song doesn't just make me want to sing; it makes me want to force my soul out via my throat. It doesn't get much better than this.

[@toribjork10]

@pikajace yeah, but it's really really similar in theme and lyrcs. it's safe to say he was, ahem, "influenced" by the dolls' song...

[@strawberryfrazel]

okay so i am a HUGE fan of my chemical romance, and i heard Gerard (the singer) was really into the Dresden Dolls and he said it was a basically a woman who sang and played piano and a drummer, and i sing and play the piano so that really got me interested so this is the 3rd song i have listened to by them and im really impressed i like them i think i am going to listen to more haha

[@playlistismo]

@ ▷ The Dresden Dolls 🎶▷ Sing 💿▷ Yes, Virginia 📅▷ 2006 🎬︎▷ Michael Pope

[@VivaLaHorror]

I wish someone would do a fucking flash mob with this song instead of the songs that only have a fraction of the soul this one has. -sigh- Either way, I get chills with song every time I hear/sing it

[@Sploggez]

lol, paused the video so I could get the url and download the mp3 so I'm not doing too many things at once, and I totally got a good facial expression of Amanda at 2:35. xD

[@CrOssdone]

Siiiinnnngg!!!!

[@shiphotel2]

the scene with the statues reminds me of a scene in bioshock with the frozen dead people

[@cybercutealicious]

desperatly in love with a.p.

[@WeBelongInTheSea]

@pikajace Yes, MCR didn't really steal the idea, maybe they were inspired by it and put their new style on it. :) I love this song :D

[@MsRagdoll14]

this video was posted on my birthday! lol

[@takealookatme]

@66PixieOfDeath6 They did...sorta. But, the dynamic duo is back!!!! w00t w00t

[@GSoS2000]

Mine too....

[@Navitas2003]

😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@InvaderSkat]

@violetheatherbrown funny story gerard's a dredsen dolls fan :LL i like both vers :3

[@c.5536]

We cross the Bay Bridge in Northern California not the Golden Gate Bridge. That's for tourists. I can count on my hand how many times I went nearest the Golden Gate Bridge. The Bay Bridge means it's time to get your attitude in order because we're in the City.

[@beaux5541]

It's been way to long Please everyone please Sing

[@HTROXURSOX]

I agree that the censorship is completely unnecessary and damages the integrity of the song, but let's not target rap as inferior, okay? Like any genre, it is perfectly capable of producing innovative, insightful music.

[@account2871]

The swearing is unnecessary to the message tbh

[@beaux5541]

Sing please it Is so beautiful as You are

[@MentalRecluse]

@PyroPrincess33 oh well.

[@whsonic]

I like her "Kurt Weil" keyboard

[@RodrigoE.Torres]

Qué mentada de censura.

[@OpakeArawra2]

more like c'est fucking awesome

[@doriandawes]

@rockboy12346 Amanda Palmer is currently working on a collaborative project with singer/songwriter Jason Webley called Evelyn Evelyn, it's like this, but even more subversive.

[@SpookyBrown]

I am a fan of both MCR and Dresden Dolls. Dude, these are two completely different songs that happen to have the same title. It's not like singing is an obscure thing to sing about.

[@LaDameDeShalott]

I would love to listen to this song covered by Anna Calvi, I think her voice and her way of singing are somehow similar to Amanda's.

[@gardenguyvic]

@Sploggez Buy the fucking album.

[@mastiloko]

i love Amanda! xD

[@1001orpheus]

The drummer sure loves the derby or bowler hat.

[@lredelman]

Hey Whitney! ~Sumberg

[@MATHEWLOSDELSUR]

what is the tittle about?

[@doodleyyy]

*person who was deeply moved by this song* Hey, dude, you gotta listen to this song! It's so amazing!....*person* WTF is this and who the hell are you? Why are you giving me a letter? POLICE!

[@InertiaCreeps]

What’s wrong with the audio on this video? :/

[@draganfly]

@yamara34 Mine too!

[@LOLimmy123]

There is this thing that's like touching except you don't touch

[@legaata]

Her facial expression in this video is similar to that of the children in the "I don't like Mondays" music video by Boomtown Rats.

[@77iandavid]

No, the 16 dislikes on this fucking video are because they edited the crap out of it. Some cuss words are there to express a valid emotion and fuck fuck fuck is sometimes appropriate. LoL

[@psychokillercrab]

@lilyampersand I think this is the best comment I have ever read on you tube, cheers to you!

[@WilliamMeyer]

Yes, Virginia... Sing

[@autumnwind1216]

For the algorithm ❤

[@Jackitreborn]

I like the way she moves her face, its like shes chewing something n speaking

[@GeminiSong13]

@MCRisSOawesome agreed they didnt steal anything the lyrics music and style is different idk y ppl think they stole it both are good songs

[@KadajusFunToy]

@stinknus how so

[@200timwhite]

@pentumplementgum RAINING BLOOOOD!!! hahaha

[@sneekz07]

Seriously, the build up. Phenomenal.

[@CentralEtn]

you gotta be fucking kidding me!!!! >:( Why do you not like mcr's sing? It has so much meaning to so many people.

[@twistedtick]

@immaeighteen I fucking agree!

[@leahcagley1445]

There is this thing that's like touching except you don't touch Back in the day it just went without saying at all All the world's history gradually dying of shock There is this thing that's like talking except you don't talk You sing You sing Sing for the bartender sing for the janitor sing Sing for the cameras sing for the animals sing Sing for the children shooting the children sing Sing for the teachers who told you that you couldn't sing Just sing There is this thing keeping everyone's lungs and lips locked It is called fear and it's seeing a great renaissance After the show you can not sing wherever you want But for now let's all pretend that we're gonna get bombed So sing Sing cause it's obvious sing for the astronauts sing Sing for the president sing for the terrorists sing Sing for the soccer team sing for the janjaweed sing Sing for the kid with the phone who refuses to sing Just sing Life is no cabaret We don't care what you say We're inviting you anyway You motherfuckers you'll sing someday...

[@CentralEtn]

ok I have to admit danger days isn't their best album but sing is one of the best on there.

[@patduss174]

seriously dude why would you compress the audio on this track. Can't anyone hear the distortion and pumping ???

[@amanteinc]

Makes perfect sense. They wrote two versions, this and the one they actually curse in which comes out in an album marked "Parental Advisory Explicit Lyrics." Hiphop / rap artist only make one version cause they Don't Give A FUCK.

[@encryptexx9188]

censored!!!??? really? fuck.

[@lumanianilin1198]

A song talking about being free for just 3 minutes gets censored. The irony is delicious (and sad)

[@octovi]

@WeBelongInTheSea Yes, it's true. Gerard Way is a serious fan of The Dresden Dolls.

[@apocindustries7217]

@VivaLaHorror do it :)

[@Lhene9]

@immaeighteen Fuck yeah

[@pentumplementgum]

Oh shit! hahaha

[@1001orpheus]

We caught you. Heheheh....

[@raysc0089]

@yamara34 @dfishie mine too!!!
