Amanda Palmer - Runs In The Family

[banshek7]

AMANDA I'M GOING TO COMMENT ON ALL YOUR VIDEO'S UNTIL YOU KNOW ME LOL.<3 Much Love My Dear Star.

[CrazyDiamond003]

Honestly can't say in words how awesome Amanda is...

I've been dealing with a weird mental health issue all my life that the doctors can't really find a name for, so it's just been labelled as a phobia. Which is pretty anticlimatic when you see me in one of my so-called "panic attacks". This song, while amazingly sharp, is also manic and emotionally hardcore - a desperate hunt for answers. For that, I humbly thank you Amanda, for giving me comfort in the idea that at least someone gets it :)

[Scullumification]

If you've been an alcoholic, the "shakes in the night" bit is pretty hard on the soul.

[Kermitron]

The french written on the grey thing, does that say "live without my time"?

[NotSoUnitedNations]

my friend just recommended Amanda Palmer to me.

I have awesome friends.

[KarmicAnarchist]

@ 1m20s, you can just about see her gash.

Just sayin'.

[perpetualkittens]

@KarmicAnarchist don't be that guy.

[KarmicAnarchist]

@perpetualkittens Shit, sorry, did I type that out loud?

[perpetualkittens]

@KarmicAnarchist . . . . . :|

xD

Nice

[abcjbc]

I've been sent to some weird sh.t before,, but this?

[TurtlesButtNaked]

"Open my legs up to anyone who'll have me" any girl who says shes bipolar is pretty much gaurenteed to put out.

[CrazyDiamond003]

@TurtlesButtNaked I wouldn't say that's necessarily true. I have friends who are bipolar. Personally, I think this song borders more on borderline personality disorder in places in which promiscuity and the want to have someone close to you are significant symptoms of the illness. "I just want you to know me, know me and my family - we're wonderful folks, but don't get too close to me cause you might knock me up..."

[19radio]

Very powerful should be amongst the top runners

[FreakInUniform1995]

If any song and video combo could describe my life, it'd be this one.

<3

[hiothezebra]

In one word?

Powerful.

[AleMayaOM]

the lyyyyyyyyyyyyyyrics... my god (L)

[Pepatxo]

Marry me Amanda!!!



[robwheelut]

People who come in just to write ignorant comments are such a bore..Amanda Palmer is a talented woman, who makes great songs and has a very powerful presence.

Watch the video to enjoy her and her music, if you want to whine, cry, and complain go sit in a corner and FUCK off

Nuff said!

[toadman842]

I was listening to machine head and this was suggested. hmmmm...

[ShrinkingManiac]

With the dress and boots and craziness - anyone else think of River Tam?

[KarmicAnarchist]

@ShrinkingManiac Nope I'm thinking Kate Bush, with edges and issues. Channeling Poly Styrene.

Or Tori Amos, without meds or a piano in a high rise council flat. And next door's baby screaming all night. Every night.

[ninjaminkeys]

looks like my house :)

[blackholenebula1]

Glad you enjoyed the comment, dipshit. Gaiman is a pathetic Scientologist who pays the cult six figures and Palmer is just a talentless skank who could get him on a stage.Meh.

[Schattenschleicher]

@blackholenebula1

Calm down... according to Gaiman himself he isn't a scientologist. And normally scientologists advertise their "religion" all the time. Gaiman is just a genius writer. That's all. Like Amanda Palmer. Although she doesn't write. She sings.

[OrezThegrey]

@blackholenebula1 troooooololololololololol

[xShinraTensei13]

@blackholenebula1 Fuck you.

Amanda, a talentless skank?

What have you been fucking sniffing?

Get outta here, asshole. There are actually people trying to enjoy this music without some douche insulting everybody.

[cottoncandy113]

Reminds me of my sister, my dads a psychopath and in prison. She's a mean and abusive alcoholic which has nothing to do with my dad and she says it runs in the family -.-

[kenobigirliz]

It's funny that I'm reading "Neverwhere" while listening to this seeing as it is a Niel Gaiman work and they're married...

[bridgetbennett02]

WHERE DO I MEET SOMEONE THAT LOOVES AFP AS MUCH AS ME i live in california come hang out lol!!

[Glowskully]

@bridgetbennett02 sure, i live in holland XD

[bridgetbennett02]

@Glowskully >.< maybe i will come visit. lol.

[jasminmcgaughey]

I admire anyone who can sing this and breathe at the same time

[KarmicAnarchist]

@blackholenebula1 I just wanted to say how rare it really is to see something as lulzy and condescending as " He may not even realize he’s a hypocrite" That really is fucking priceless. Well done, I suppose.

[TekranoXx]

this is...amazing..

[Hoshitori]

This song is hard to sing in the shower. I choke on the water trying to keep the tempo.

[stickman2012]

@Hoshitori

the tempo is six-eight! :D

[mangachick203]

@stickman2012 The meter is six eight (also called time signature), the tempo is somewhere around 230 bpm if you count all six beats.

(Sorry, not trying to be offensive, just my inner music nerd screaming at me.)

[stickman2012]

@mangachick203

its okay. im also a music nerd.

[XxMikoSamaxX]

@Hoshitori Story of my life! 

[RadioactivePiggy]

i can relate to this...

[DaniFlakes]

I'm not show how i got here.... But i'm freaking glad i made it!!!

[robwheelut]

Amandas voice is so husky and hot, Damn shes beautiful...I never thought anyone would make a song about me...

[Glowskully]

ik hou van vincent het sabbel snoepje

[angrylittlegirl]

Okay, so I might have to turn in my atheist card... I'm fairly certain that AFP is god.

[lilith551]

I want amanda and bryan to come to the U.S. I have not gotten to see them. :(

[Scullumification]

God, I love Amanda Palmer.

[mrsagnostic]

she´s so fucking great...

[banshek7]

Amanda your So Smart And epic I Love You Friend!ϡ

[shadowsmidnightsky06]

@DarkAliceChibi.... I know Brian is not in this because its her solo album.... i cant find my previous comment but I think I was more of asking if anyone knew what happened to him? Since he seemed to have dropped off and disappeared,etc. Love this song, and this album, but I do wish there was more to this music video besides just rolling around on the ground... With Amanda's talent it seems alittle...under done. Astronaut was a great video... and it was simple as well... :P still a great song!!

[Chaoitcme]

@shadowsmidnightsky06 I am not sure what Brian has been doing musically over the last couple of years, but him an Amanda are getting the Dresden Dolls back together for a tour of Australia I believe.

[TurtlesButtNaked]

@Chaoitcme Brian began playing In World/Inferno Friendship Society but I don't think he still is

[Chaoitcme]

@TurtlesButtNaked Oh really. I would love to see them live. World Inferno is awesome and so is Brian.

[Timeywimeyball]

Love the moonwalk at 00:12

[Weezydropsthebomb]

Love the lyrics to this song.. Amazing.

[postenisfun]

*Throws arms up* I knew just by her voice that she is part of Dresden Dolls. I am proud of myself.

[Scullumification]

@postenisfun lol. I don't know what the hell you're eating for dinner, but as far as I know arms aren't supposed to come out ofyour mouth. O.o"

[1carneeval1]

@Scullumification :D Well, I've learned many a thing from Llamas with Hats. Including eating habits.

[jess1ca0wnsy0u]

i want those friggen boots.

[813meo]

this video/song sums up my small inner voice, lmao

[GravyBiscuitYo]

THIS SONG IS PERFECT!! THIS VIDEO IS PERFECT!!! ALL HAIL AMANDA PALMER!!! :D

[Scullumification]

lol. My room is a bigger mess. XD

[adambungle]

So many things I relate to in this song but I know from past experience I know she has nothing in common with me. Grew up running (from problems) with my psychotic mother. I was passed severe anxiety and other genetic disorders. I have spent my whole life trying to find someone that understands me but it is more complex than those common disorders. Years of going Dr after Dr After Dr all specialists, end up saying same crap and giving million diff pills non work. Kill me

[ModestTruth]

@adambungle Hey, if you wanna talk....Just sayin.... I'm free.

[cookiemonster071992]

can someone please explain to me what this song is about???

[spookykaat]

im a borderline and i just love this song haha..

this is not making music, is making art

[SolidVidKid]

I feel like this pretty often.

[Allgerophobic]

I'm just going to listen to this for the rest of the night now.

[AngelicChaos1]

omg i love this song lol xD there are so many lines whwere if you dont pay attention the catch you off guard lol

[NoneBuriedDeeper]

My wife hates AFP. I might have to divorce her.

[AngelicChaos1]

@NoneBuriedDeeper just make her listen to it over and over till she cant stand to not listen to it lol

[TheCarmillaShow]

@NoneBuriedDeeper your wife has no soul!

[amosthree]

@NoneBuriedDeeper

You MUST! FOR THE GREATER GOOD.

[Scullumification]

@NoneBuriedDeeper It should be obvious, anyone who doesn't like AFP is not marriage material.

[KarmicAnarchist]

@NoneBuriedDeeper After a statement like that, you might not have to. Know what I mean?

[NoneBuriedDeeper]

@KarmicAnarchist If you mean the loss of my life or the loss of a favored body part, yes I do know what you mean......lmao

[KarmicAnarchist]

@NoneBuriedDeeper No, Sir misunderstands. I was posing the hypothesis that should Sir's Wife not return home one night, it may be that her poor choice in music may have . . . delayed her in some way, And now that you've declared it on you tube, . . . Who knows? It's hardly the sanest and most predictable place in the whole internutz, izzit?.

[powchowder124]

Supernatural.

[cheyannevr]

@powchowder124 I agree completely.

[TheCarmillaShow]

@powchowder124 Supernatural?

[TheMsUnlucky]

@powchowder124 Yep.

[wirlwirlwirl]

eww..

[taterthesufferer]

Pretty much explains my bipolar disorder, this is like a mixed-mania, it's my spinning song, i just keep spinning and spinning...

[ealsinmysubmarine]

fucking family man:I haha

[Vassild]

THIS SONGS MORE ADDICTIVE THAN NICOTINE!

[robwheelut]

..Amanda Palmer...You & I are fucked up in the head...

[shtrui]

love this!

[ZCRnotVCR]

I love this so much. Been singing it for days. It's a perfect song to mutter under your breath.

[noonehearsmescream1]

this song pretty much sums up my life

[Prettycupcake14]

I love her boots. Where can I get some like those?!

I love you, Amanda Palmer!

[lavillavictoria]

absolutely!!!...a family thing! the artist must create.

[lavillavictoria]

OH MY, I think we are RELATED.....long lost sister of mine!

[o0oravenforevero0o]

@lavillavictoria So...does it run in the family?

[epiandelinor]

@lavillavictoria  ...twinsies?

[TheWhmaxwell]

Wow, that is a truly amazing song... I'm stunned. 

[AutumnAngelx3]

Oh hello, life..

[JuanPersona]

@wordthatswassup

her heart makes her song race. 8~>

[LCxCZ]

I fucking love Amanda.

[bright3yes187]

fucking brilliant

[xXT4ct1call4m4Xx]

@phatxpinkinkheart WTF IS THIS SHIT!!

[AutumnsVeil]

GENIUS



[dandyko]

Love the editing, and how simple but awesome the entire concept of the video itself is.

[LivinginDogville]

My 3 and a half years old daughter wants to watch this video on and on..Should I be worried?

[AHHHHREEBAAAA]

@LivinginDogville HELL NO!!!

[Feehlo382]

@LivinginDogville Prepare yourself for a mini Palmer.

[Kentsuruki]

@LivinginDogville She might be a lesbian

[Gracefulland]

@Kentsuruki because that comment wasn't narrow minded in the slightest...

[Kentsuruki]

@Gracefulland SHUSH!

[ThatWhovianStarkid]

@Kentsuruki She's married to Neil Gaiman..

[Kentsuruki]

@ThatWhovianStarkid I didn't say anything about Amanda Palmer being a lesbian.

Though GAIman gives that certain hint...

[LivinginDogville]

@Kentsuruki Nah, she is already "married" to a boy in kindergarten..

[SapphireJesse08]

@LivinginDogville You should be proud :D

[LivinginDogville]

@SapphireJesse08 I am..

[KoyukisWings]

@LivinginDogville Nah, unless you're afraid Amanda Palmer might be her next roll model.

[LivinginDogville]

@KoyukisWings No, I am not afraid that AFP can be her roll model.. I would be proud.. I am concerned about this song..

[Blazenix1]

@LivinginDogville She doesn't understand what it means just yet, she just likes the tune.

[LivinginDogville]

@Blazenix1 Really?

[Hadidet]

@LivinginDogville It's healthy for young girls to show an interest in expressions of female sexuality. They're constantly learning about what it's like to be a grown up. I wouldn't worry about it. 

[AnotherOpheliac]

@LivinginDogville You should be proud of having a daughter with such a great taste in music :)

[LivinginDogville]

@AnotherOpheliac Thanks.. "It runs in the family"..

[OhioHarleyChick]

@LivinginDogville NO! No worries at all.

[PuddinStix]

has anyone noticed the rubber heart on the floor?

[Satankitteh]

Does anybody else get the air knocked out of them with this song? I mean, she talks so fast and long at some points I can't help but hold my breath. Great song, not so good when I'm trying to concentrate though XD (I end up gasping from the lack of air o.e)

[adrianbenitez30]

@ShaimReviews ...dick, but ok. can u suggest a song by this artist u enjoy; to lazy to surch myself

[pyroinc]

@ShaimReviews I fully agree, and am the same...if wellness is this, what in hells name is sickness..

[adrianbenitez30]

this song sux, but im capable of keeping an open mind, can any1 suggest any other songs by this artist?

[MechNIN]

@adrianbenitez30 I personally love this song. Try "oasis" by amanda palmer.

This is a solo act, originally she's from the band dresden dolls.

Dresden dolls songs you could try --- "coin operated boy" "mrs. o" "gravity" "backstabber" "the kill" "good day"

It's so hard to judge what I would say my favorite songs are, I love most of their material.

[DannieIsDead]

I know all the words, but I can never keep up with her! xD

[JenniferCuppett]

Thumbs up if this gave you goosebumps XD i feel like such a weirdo for it

[MaliceSauce]

Amanda, I love youuuuu

[pyroinc]

This is my life in a song.

[CallingAllMusicians]

This was actually Amanda's bedroom.

[xRequiem666]

I'm in love...

[xtencacioustiffx]

does somebody actually live in that room? xD

[xsingingxdreamerx]

Amanda Palmer is a GOD

[xsingingxdreamerx]

Sounds like myfamily....

[michy7x]

I ADORE this song. Long Live Amanda Palmer! x

[ingebird415]

Those piano lessons sure paid off!

[darkbunglex]

I just browsed across this and surprisingly by the end I really liked it even though at the start I thought it was boring crud. Lyrics were great and melody catchy

[ExecutionOfAllThings]

dont get to close or you might knock me up... Amanda, Queen of Fertility?

[Shelasgirl]

I suppose listening to Emilie Autumn helps me not find this very odd. Haha, loving it though.

[joshking18]

@Shelasgirl couldnt agree more an all accounts

[SuperBluetulip]

good fucking job mate



[NaruGaaLOVER]

Me and my boyfreind have a theory, peaople who shave there eyebrows are FUCKING NUTS! This also applies to Amanda Palmer, I guss thats why her music is so good!

[laserboots]

I like her crazy pulse-pounding songs more than her heartfelt ballads. I must be an automaton.

[HeyitsDr3a]

I think i saw that house on hoarders D:

[ReaverCortex]

This is the singlest most bestest song I have ever heard. Well okay, maybe second - after Arvo Part's Tabula Rasa. Every time I hear that song I have irresistible urge to just stand up in the office, bitchslap the LCD angrily, flip everyone here and go learn to play piano. I feel like a wasted my life by not learning to play at least on some level. And I work for a space agency, so there.

[NovemberMayhem]

I can't get over how much I just LOVE this song!! *rapes the replay button*

[Arctisch]

Purely Divine Song, And Woman.

[SharliexCheen]

This song describes my life.

[DanNikiDan]

She deserves a lot of Grammys or other things, she's way better then anything I've heard before her.. When I was in grade 10, I moved out to Calgary and had a very difficult time adjusting to the move from Ont to there, I met a friend finally and I was introduced to The Dresden Dolls, the first album, where I immediately fell in love! Now Amanda comes out with this and it boggles me why people who don't like her would even comment. This album would help anyone who is feeling angry with life LOVE

[xxMonstersRcallingxx]

I would be ridicule endlessly if I had her shoes but I still want them.

[DarlingSerenity]

@xxMonstersRcallingxx ridiculed by jealous bitches. i want them too!

[xxMonstersRcallingxx]

@DarlingSerenity If only there was a store that replicated famous people's shoes.

[DarlingSerenity]

@xxMonstersRcallingxx I would break my neck on Katy Perrys shoes in her music video "Thinking Of You" :D want them soo much

[godkat]

I had chills the entire time...

[lex5ym]

Damn,iKno wahh she mean she koo

[lessinbeen]

...i guess she started shaving her armpits? not that i gave a shit either way.

[TheBeautifulFearsome]

sorry replay button....

[Shrubbehfish]

._. This music video reminds me of Anachronism Girl.

[JesuszillaCorp]

I hear this and love but the only thing that makes that better is watching the videos. fucking wow

[ItsMissFy]

This is awesome.

[BuffyTheSlayer14]

I usually don't like this kind of music, but I love this!

[MrSunshineinthesky]

oh man i love this woman i literally have laughed myself to tears

[kyolover52]

I'm completely in love with her music. I'm such a big fan! <3

[OldAndHollow]

Ahahahahahahahahaha... Ahahahhahahhhahahaha

...

Welll.....

One grey tea ... Please......

[KarisGreenway]

This reminds me of Shut Me Up by Mindless Self Indulgence ^_^ Perhaps it's just the "knock me up" and "shut me up" parts :/ But it does seem very MSI-ish. <33

[hoosierhiver]

Dang!

[Sinoha]

Watching Amanda Palmer is witnessing insanity create a portrait. Talent she has in troves.

[phatxpinkinkheart]

FUCKEN LOVE IT!!

Every time i show this song to a friend, the same reaction is..... WTF IS THIS SHIT!!

THEN I SLAP THEM!!
