[TheColorOfMind]

FANTASTIC !

[yvesnight]

sad and wonderful

[akitayama300]

I love this...

[eetherealflux]

nice pic... the song... well... 4/5 (cause the shit vocoder)

[Apocol0id]

@eetherealflux It's actually a text-to-speech singing program. Which is odd to use as a song base, but then, JJ is unconventional in his music.

Csáth Géza: Diary of a Madwoman OST

[MrTZ111]

I hate and I love. Why do I do it, perhaps you might ask?

I don't know, but I feel it happening to me and I'm burning up.

[ArturoandtheMachine]

No es Cátulo sino Catulo, pues se acentúa la u porque va seguida de dos consonantes (en latín), alargando dicha u, y en latín si la penúltima sílaba es larga se acentúa (por norma general). De lo contrario, se acentuará la antepenúltima, como sucede con el nombre Catulo (con una l), que es esdrújula porque la u es breve (Cátulo). Pero el poeta es Catulo, simple y llanamente (eeeh, llanamente, llana, ¿lo pillas? xD).

[Heavymetalchick157]

Cohenism made me love this song :DDD

[RiseAgainstH8]

I've been listening to rock/rap... but this made me think and sent a shiver up my spine... I'm glad Battle L.A. sent me here =]

[AAAAAAAARRGHH]

„Ich hasse und ich liebe – warum, fragst du vielleicht. Ich weiß es nicht. Ich fühl’s – es foltert mich.“

[spelpan13]

I Love It..

[pxgf]

Mrzim i volim. Pitanje je: zašto? Ne znam, ali osećam to, zbog toga patim.

[frozen10]

This makes me want to jump into the ocean.

[TheOnlyMrRager]

im getting this tattooed on my arm today, forreal.

[TehPompkinHead]

I love his work it's very beautiful but they're always very sad songs.

[Ferrerova]

Odio y amo. Por qué lo hago, acaso preguntas.

No lo sé, pero siento que sucede y me atormento.

[TheRandomguy112]

what ever happined to just looking up music and searching for music u like. now all u do is click on movie trailers and their u go. found this by going through other music videos and proud of it.

[0Smilelikeyoumeanit]

@TheRandomguy112 I really don't undestand this whole entitlment some people feel towards music/artists when they 'find' them themselves. You have a 'find' music somehow, whether it's you hear it from a radio, from a friend, or if it was reccomended by another band or artist. It's all the same isn't it? Everyone simply wants to enjoy the same sound- does it really matter how we all got here?

[Nastuf]

@0Smilelikeyoumeanit OMG A kindred spirit there is hope after all.

[evannta]

This song makes me want to go throught the world and destroy all evil,but at the same time it makes me want to set the world alight and watch everything bad burn. A confusing yet true consept to think about.

[waterwavesandsand]

@evannta

The image you sent across there is very beautiful. Thanks for sharing. 

[evannta]

I love you Johann. You bring your words to life through the power of music,In a way that can not be explained.The songs you make define the world today and the near future of society.

[ArchuletaObsessed]

this is most depressing song i have ever freaking heard. but somehow i still enjoy it..

[rhymenoceros3303]

Hey I have a project due next tuesday that requires you to utilize dramatic music like this can someone offer some other good songs like this one

[mishka133]

google rainy mood, it makes this song so epic!!

[CyberAsphyxiazic]

Weren't the lyrics by Catullus? o.o

[mk17norge]

I have just finished acting in production of Hamlet, where this was the central theme of our production

[MrBeatboy93]

vocoder ! i love it

[Wuigi69]

I love and I love this song.

So sublime, yet subtle. It strikes and plucks at my heartstrings, making me long and ache for things that are best left to feelings to interpret, not mere words...such beauty in it's composed melancholy.

And it seems 5 people only hate...

[gjons]

I like this translation better:

I hate and I love. Why would I do this perhaps you ask. I do not know, but I feel it happening, and this is torture.

[airepal]

thumbs up if the borgias brought u to this video(i'm sensing not that many haha)

[baccalaurea]

ç_ç ... wonderful! it's poignant, this song tickles every torment hidden.

[Solidariusfire]

5 people cannot enjoy Latin...

[KolokotronisPower]

oh man i almost cried...and i don't even understand the lyrics

[Apocol0id]

@KolokotronisPower See the second most thumbed up comment to understand. It's from Catullus 85, a poem by the Roman poet Catullus.

[redcommando1]

Thumbs up, bloody thumbs up! all I ever read on this site. People should not wait for the latest dire hollywood hit to find good music, go and look for it.

[dontkeepthisname]

@redcommando1

Easier said than done.

[PMSUEYRO]

[wca85]

Battle:LA brought me here too! Cool artist!

[MrTubacle]

To Love Youthful and Vernal

Perhaps you know

That in the afterglow

Of love there is one more show.

After the fall,

We are condemned below

With chains entangled,

And our heart painfully mangled,

Singing a requiem eternal

To a love that once sprung youthful and vernal.

[MaggieDizzy360]

Beautiful..... 

[ClarkeSharrk]

Thumbs up if Battle: L.A brought u to this artist.

[JovanKlovan]

nice !

[ZeacorZeppelin]

This is so depressing.

[FroggyFrances]

Beautiful, a pity about the bad pronunciation of the Latin text, though.

[saintdoust]

@FroggyFrances Based on what? There are at least 4 different "correct" ways of pronouncing latin words.

[therealKINDLE]

@eowynprincsold : I WARN Anyone Trying to Embed this to a Message or Wall or somewhere. Because I did & it DIDN'T Play. And No thanks to the person who has disabled it, the girl who I Tried to SHARE it with DID NOT go to Youtube to watch it. So thanks so much for Screwing that up for me you Idiot!

[JKeats82]

It's like a high-quality SNES MIDI file for a Final Fantasy game. <3

[falcopfalzgraf]

He's in The Barbican in London on 8 May 2011 at 11am

[ironicdevil666]

hey am i seeing things or does the picture move? is this the effect of listening to such a wonderful song ?

[trytobemb]

@ironicdevil666 Yup the rain is like shimmering. Its beautiful

[Thyflyingsteve]

I listen to this and feel every emotion

[thedmart1]

@hesterhal He is Icelandic.

[hesterhal]

Is he Like German or what?

[LewiSaunders]

Absolutly beautiful. I didn't think I'd like this kinda music, but turns out I can't stop listening to it. He is great. Very deep, emotional and meaningful. Everything I aspire to be as a musician, so it's really inspiring. Great piece.

[ArchuletaObsessed]

what language is this?? it's beautiful..

[MortiisFaust]

@ArchuletaObsessed He is an Icelandic Musician.

[jorehir]

@ArchuletaObsessed the language is Latin and the lyrics are from a Catullus poem (the translation is up there ^^^, in RG171 post, if you didn't notice yet)

anyway, do you really think it's beautiful??

@MortiisFaust the composer is icelandic, but... is the singer macintoshan? oO

[ArchuletaObsessed]

@jorehir oh thank you. yes i noticed;]

and i most definately do! it makes me want more music like this..

[FastlaneProductions1]

I'm pretty sure odi is in the perfect tense, so I think it actual translates i hated and I love.

[cardinalssaints]

@FastlaneProductions1

odi is perfect in form, but present in meaning

[9hello123]

@FastlaneProductions1 poems aren't translated literally.

[LunaOccurrence]

Catullus is my lover!

[therealKINDLE]

What a Creative, Inovative & Brilliant way of making Vocals sound more Mono-tone, Soul-Struck & Effective.

[DM101Halo]

Unsound Festival 2009 - poezja :)

[51320044]

I just saw him tonight live in concert in Toronto - I was left speechless. Truly and simply remarkably exquisite.

[ItIsMeMaybe]

the singing is awful. the pronouncation is SOOOO wrong O.o it hurts

and the voice is so ... wierd.

[milikov18]

@ItIsMeMaybe

Actually, the pronunciation is correct for the classical Latin of Catullus as opposed to ecclesiastical Latin.

[ItIsMeMaybe]

@milikov18 i wouldn't be too sure of that ...

[mascbp10]

@ItIsMeMaybe It's a computer, silly. A computer.

[cardinalssaints]

@ItIsMeMaybe yo for real the 'odi et amo' by johan johannsson video has excellent pronunciation, chu talkin bout some ecclesiastical shiznit? my man catullus was all up on that classical

[SuperErmine]

It's an amazing musical interpretation of the poem, I think. However, I don't get what's up with the robotic voice...

[podisracer]

sooooo true barry!

[barryharket]

to get so angry at life everyday but love life for we are those who breathe. why waste life with all this anger and resentment and greed. we need to listen more, to love more, to cry and laugh more. but it wont happen. we just ignore all the cues for true happiness and get sucked into the crap that is modern life. why??????

[ArtistryOfUno]

@barryharket because we are ignorant

[ramonesintown]

@barryharket .....The only real mysery of life and living.. To breathe, should in itself be ENOUGH?? Modern life has given SLIME a foot-hold, and entitlement to exist freely and unencumberred. As if Slime were of value and legit.....

[shivanet]

What's the deal with not embedding it?

[Iqosaedre]

Stunning. Love & Hate, the most charming and fascinating couple in this world, with the indifference for only enemy. Keep passions alive, please.

[L0rRyLici0zZ]

Hassen und lieben zugleich muss ich .. Wie das? Wenn ichs wüsste,aber ich fühls und das Herz möchte zerreissen in mir ..

[sam0xin]

p.s. it's a VERY rare situation, then words are extra & has not much meaning...in comments, as well as in this MASTERPIECE !

[sam0xin]

I'm speechless no comments , just want to listen ALL I NEED ! just to LISTEN ! & cry as a kid... that's all I need !

[Steiner62]

Sublime...

[RG171]

I hate and I love. Why I do this, perhaps you ask.

I do not know, but I sense that it is happening and I am tortured.

[2hopskipjump2]

thats so emo;)

[Haremma]

@RG171 Couldn't agree with you more

[bloodysword100]

@RG171 sorry dude but the last part is (and this is torture)

[alivedude1]

@bloodysword100 no it's not, it's a passive form, first person

[angiec789]

@RG171 that it is happening and that you are tortured are two diffrent truths. Explain how they are interrelated.

[TR0TE2]

lol
