The Dresden Dolls 'Sing' (Chapter II / original) music video

[Blondiejbabe1]

beautiful song meaningful and just awesome!

[AFPisLOVE]

I love this music today as much as I did in the mid 2000s.

[oldieXP]

you motherf*****s you censored them! :{

[MrSorahn]

The boy at 3:22... :'-)

[zedlockz]

This song kills me... I love it so much... Live is even better.

[MadMickeyTV1]

omfg i started to cry....this makes me more depressed, but makes me happy. Its so beautiful..i <3 you dresden dolls

[langilorian]

@fenispotze808 WTF? dresden dolls are my world. you have fun listening to your Hannah Montana

[kristanova]

sigh. why so censored?

[sahphyro]

I am in love with this song. It's so amazing!

[fenispotze808]

i#M not listening to this crap i'm exploring music that sucks

[irishequalsme]

@fenispotze808 why dont you go go be a retarded emo somewhere else.

[panicoutcobrahh]

This. There are no words to explain the beauty of this. An incredible song. ♥

[fenispotze808]

worst shit i've ever heard

[hubbabubbajosh]

@fenispotze808 If it's so bad, why are you listening? lol

[SarcasticSun]

@fenispotze808 We'll sing for you.

[AustoTheGreat]

16 people don't sing for the dresden dolls. Thumbs up if you agree.

[AloneOnASeeSaw]

A song for the unsung. I think true history of real people are told through song. In contrast to the revisionist history of victors in our fairytale textbooks.

[lovernumber7]

OH FUCK I CAN'T BELIIIIIIIIIIIEVE THEY CUT AMANDA'S HEARTFELT "MOTHERFUCKERSS YOU SING SOMETHING!"!!!

[micky050]

@lovernumber7 they didnt cut it they just bleeped it out. no big deal!

[xmisogyny]

@lovernumber7

Haha I know, it just wasnt the same

[BabyTheSkyIsBlue]

what I would to get my hands on those red envelopes filled with that CD <3 ^^

[MCRx3DG]

I just discovered this band a couple of days ago, and this is my favorite song of theirs so far. It's so powerful and beautiful. This band has a new fan.

[FolkMusicWins]

First time I heard thins song at the end of this album i nearly died because it's beaty and amanda's emotion made me forget to breathe

[sarafp000]

There is nothing i can not like from them

[gorgeouschaos]

I think..

it's whatever you want it to mean.

that's the beauty of art.

[duck97]

some people try to overanalyze songs.

how's this for a message:

Just sing.

This song and that message changed my life.

[Apandria]

@duck97 Amen

[alexandriaheather]

And yet Brian is so Sylar-esque in this video. Is this like Lennon saying 'count me out -in'...

[voteCnote]

THAT'S FRESH...!!! It's all about the original music & vid..!!! feel free 2 check ours out >;->

[Oreoreogirl]

Sing for the childeren shooting the childeren sing..

I think she means how we are all still kind of kids to eachother.. And yet...

[jrregan]

ahhmm.. think it was the "kids" in the Middle East, etc shooting.. At least that was my impression. Gee.. Get a kid and introduce them to killing, then do nothing but put them back into another low paying job, but you can't kill. hhmm... Doesn't sound like it was entirely thought out..

[Oreoreogirl]

ya, it means that too..i was just reading deep.

[mysweeetprince]

This song left me speachless.

But I can always just sing.

[jrregan]

Another one from the Dresdon Dolls that fixed me also...

[SarcasticSun]

I remember I was once feeling terrible, like almost suicidal terrible, and I listened to this song and started crying. It's just amazing.

[clockworktea]

@SarcasticSun I know. I was doing that thing where you bite the inside of your lips to keep yourself from crying, and this came on shuffle. I started bawling.

[tonightweburnthesky]

if there's any meaning to life, this song is it

[crazydaniluv]

Breath taking, beautiful, epic.... One of my all time favorite songs out there. Keep up the good work you two!!! Even though you each have your own things going on, you each are creating and inspiring in your own ways!!!

[toxxikvamp]

This song gives me chills and brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. They conveyed so many strong emotions in this song.

[profitprophet368]

You motherfuckers'll sing someday

[BrownSugaDreams]

Amanda, Brian. It's a beautiful song. Thank you for letting the true meaning be up to interpretation and pours your hearts out in a musical way. I listen to everything you do if I possibly can. It's quirky, fun and different, like we all should strive to be.

Thank you.

[cairalice]

exactly what shoestringconcerts said, you guys are missing the point. stop the unneccesarry bickering.

fucking sing.

[ulexite]

Sing lets all sing please sing and never ever let it stop a song and a smile will bring us all together... God i love this song SING SING with me, with them SING!

[pfida]

Excellent

[fantasmagoria25]

brilliant cido:)

[kiniwahine3401]

Wow. Very interesting song. Got me thinking, why it's not okay for abortion but okay to kill our men and everyone else? Ummm. We're all children too, right?

[emptyspace00]

That's sort of unrelated.

You should listen to this song again...

and sing for those who are anti-abortion!

[kiniwahine3401]

"sing for the children, shooting the children." Then you tell me what that means, if you think your so damn smart. I'm not bashing on anti-abortionist, I'm bashing on the people who think WAR is okay. Dum ass.

[emptyspace00]

Okay, I understand. You really should write more clearly. Plus, I interpreted the line about children shooting children to apply more to Columbine, Gaza strip or something like that- not really military war. But now I think both apply. In any case, if that was your point, then the comparison to abortion was really out of place. Because, really, you don't sound anti-war but only against people who support war but not abortion. Leaving people who support abortion AND war out of the loop.

[kiniwahine3401]

I also unerstand now your point. Everyone has their own take on a song. Sorry, just frustrated by all the hypocritical things I've been hearing from Republicans. Anit-abortion but pro-war, Christians but gun lovin. This song just struck a chord, that's all.

[jimmyaka]

republicans who support the death penalty but are pro life ... arg

[threeway7]

what do you find wrong with killing murderers with blood on their hands but protecting children who haven't done anything yet?

[jimmyaka]

*sigh*

see that first part of your question? that's how i know nothing i say will ever make you even think for a second, any different than what you do and will always.

[threeway7]

what, "murderers with blood on their hands?"

I am aware that the death penalty is unsure, and believe it needs to be absolutely failproof it it's going to work properly.

But I still don't see how those two really contradict each other.

[xsamglamx]

Or how Darfur is.

They are ordered to be soilders for their country at a young age.

[shoestringconcerts]

alot of times the point of music is to be vague enough to allow your own interpretation as it applies in your life

so it could be about columbine, children in darfur, our soldiers in iraq or all of the above

It is a little sad that people would come into a thread for such a beautiful, tolerant and hopeful song and spew name calling and intolerance

you have missed the point of the song

SING!

[buhzing]

oh my gosh it took me the longest to figure out the way this song went! i googled it and everything. i'm so glad it came to me lol

[theonlytruepunk]

Sing for Joe the Plumber, sing...

[onestep1984]

the dolls are so awesome.great song!!!

[MusicIsLife720]

I can't express how much I adore this song and its message.

[coy0te9]

I think the song works better without the fucks and motherfuckers. This isn't the 60's, it's not new or shocking. It's a beautiful song, from what little I know of the band maybe their best.

[angrytriangles]

i adore this song. :'D

I like it especially much after they changed "fucking" to "touching," it just fits so much better.

but I can't find a copy of the song without the new wordings. :C

[XXKICKFLIPXX]

i love this melodramatic, beutiful, artsy side of the Dresden Dolls. i think that it shines a new light on how we all think of them, and i personally love it. automatic 5 starred favorite.

[awesomeXalexa]

These lyrics take my breath away.

I love the Dolls.

oh, & Amanda is BEAUTIFUL.

[pinknpurple1093]

this is one of my favorite songs. its so amazing.

[ruthienicamex]

man i love this song.

[neihaaa]

You know the word 'Epic'?

Yeah, well the Dolls are the definition of that word.

[shadowcat7879]

This song is so beautiful!!!!

[ShimmyAlong]

Thank you Amanda Palmer, and thank you Brian Viglione.

[WhoaItsTanner]

The Dresden Dolls are just amazing. I cannot even begin to explain how much love i share for them. Ive never seen them live, since im not old enough to, but i definately want to. This is one of the most inspiratonal bands, and videos, i have ever come across.

-T

[bob1012112]

she looks freaky at 2:02 on wards but still awesome song

[larawiid]

I am SO jealous of all the peeps who have gotten to see the dolls live. God what i would give!

legendary talent.. think im in love lol!

[EmmaWismyhero]

she must love astronunts...or hoever you spell it

[EN4CR44]

I got to meet both Amanda and Brian and they were so nice. Amanda was going to play a solo show after her Dresden Doll show here in St. Louis and I just wanted to say I was huge fan and I loved their music. They sat and talked music with me outside for the whole time and when she was done she was like"I hate to cut this short but I gotta practice a little before my show." They were too nice. I was glad they were not stuck up. Really down to earth people.

[aliskull]

Why is Brian always topless!?! Heres this really meaningful song and theres Brian beating away at his drums it makes me loose consentration and and just look at him. . . . if you get my meaning. . .

[beansalad]

Love it! Another amazing video

[xandreaxx3]

i love this band so much

they are by far my favorite

their music is so beautiful

[TakingBackTeatime45]

But for now lets all pretend that we're gonna get bombed So sing Sing cause its 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

[AuroraViolinist]

My very first video of the Dresden Dolls ever seen. That was a year ago and I still love them. Amanda Palmer's lyrics are so beautiful and meaningful and her voice is so amazing. Brian's passion while playing the drums and guitar is just... brilliant. It really means someting.

Kudos for there being a band that doesn't give a damn what other people think, they just want to awaken the world through music. Kudos to you and keep the music coming.

[Hakseil]

I love her, she has such love.

[wolfey232]

Looking forward to the Dublin gig should be fucking great

[iceclown360]

yay!, just learned the song on my guitar.

on a side note, at the signing after the concert I went to, my gf got to kiss Amanda Palmer. It wasn't a tiny cheek kiss either, Amanda grabbed my GF head and gave her a big smooch on the lips lol ^_^

[chriis9180]

she is pretty; she has a pretty voice. Damn that guy is lucky that guy is lucky to have met her. 4real.

[GilmoreGuy23]

* I meant point of VIEW. :-[

[GilmoreGuy23]

I love the "sculpture" in the video. From my poit of you it just shows how everyone's connected to each other and how all of us united are a wonderful work of art. How diversity creates harmony and how intolerance destroys it. The lyrics are so true, we all got our own voice but most people are just afraid to be themselves because of how they were raised and taught to behave, how behind any appearences everyone's a human being and how we all deserve to be heard but we must always listen.

[MrAlexDude]

I love the song ^^ but what i wanna know is why does she always lift her leg up when she playing the keyboard? xD

[jrregan]

It's her tag, man. The stockings...

[vampb1tch]

that was the most amazing things Ive ever heard, Its a very beautiful song

[vampb1tch]

that was one of the most amazing things Ive ever heard, Its just so beauty

[insolentexistence]

i love this song... it almost made me cry, beautiful lyrics.

[chubsykins]

this song is perfect, i was feeling shit and ive never heard it before, and i clicked on it, and it just reflects how i feel, i dont know why im typing this lol i still feel a bit shit actually lol but this song is just what i needed lol :~)x

[mrsway777]

this made me cry

but I love the Dresden Dolls soooooo much.

Music has become corporate crap and bands like this prove that there is still decent (fantastic) meaningful music out there

[Muthrtung]

This song & band kick ass. Watched my dvd of the "Live at Roadhouse" version where all the performers come on stage & join in. Fell in love with them years ago when I linked through a gothic models site band list as the name sounded cool. They were at some club singing (abit ruggedly) Missed me. Just oozed beauty of uniqueness, talent, art & character & awesome vibes. To see them 2 years after on T V with "Coin-Operated Boy" was the best.

[BillyRubin2]

Maybe this song is about the need for a little more empathy in this cruel, hard and lonely world we live in. Perhaps if we really thought about the choices, burdens and hardships people face, we would all be a little more tolerant, a more compassionate to our fellow human beings.

[WitchMara]

It's a beautiful song and the video has an excellent visual and audio quality.

I charm this.

[KetsuSkull92]

i lyke it

^w^

[JSchnabbs]

Beautiful. Beautiful.

I wish your band was more recognized, you have a lot to say and all of it is profoundly beautiful.

[Aeilan]

smellslikechildren1:

She doesn't say "fat kids." What she actually says is censored.

[artlab]

She gets me everytime... can't wait to see her tomarrow night in L.A.

[XxCharlieSandraxX]

i love this song

[nessa206]

i love when amanda does that action in time with the drum at 4:00.

this song is amazing. i never really acknowledged the dresden dolls until a week ago. its just hit me in the face.i love them

[iluvpiggypoo0713]

My favorite song. ever.

im in love with it/

[SoFoolyCoolly]

This video has a very sacred element to it; even though it promotes people to "sing", it also demands a silent respect.

[xmidnightstar]

I absolutely love this song. And the video was filmed in my town, which is pretty awesome.

[AlienatedCornea]

One of the most powerful songs I've ever heard, honestly. Thank god for the Dresden Dolls; otherwise I'd drown in the shittiness of the world.

[Mottahedeh]

I hate the way they look like, its horrible

but they make good music

[BillyRubin2]

Could you substitute the word "sing" with the word "pray?

[thekingoflalaland]

no some of the things juust dont make sense. almost though

[rickaffix]

god, amanda is so hott

[malusportentum]

So emotive, I've tears in my eyes.

[QueenE91]

I love this video...the shear beauty of it is only equal to the powerful message the song brings

[oKeepthePeaceo]

wow.

[KittySakura]

I love this song! I have to watch this video every day. It just makes my day.

<3

[abbeycat104]

wow,,,i love, ^__^

[dirtyarmenian]

This is the song that made me a Dresden Dolls fan. Even though it's actually not my favorite song on the album, I suppose it just makes me nostalgic when I listen to it because I remember how I felt when I heard it for the first time.  Amazing song.

[iLikeAir]

I love the intensity of the video.

[joiles01]

What an innovative band. And they are even better live than on CD.

[Sandymacattack]

Very powerful video to an amazing song!

[LittleMissLovett]

Don't even try to tell me Amanda wasn't fucking gorgeous in this video.

My god...She looked like an angel.

[PandasEatingPeople]

Amanda was so beyond gorgeous in this... She surpassed a level of gorgeous-ness and beauty in to a new categorey that only she and Brian can uphold themselves into... I haven't gotten a good name for it yet.

[LittleMissLovett]

I concur!

:D

[rickaffix]

hell ya. i think amanda looks hot in every video. expecially "coin operated boy"

[GrosPumpkin]

Wonderful.

Amazing.

Love.

<3

[neverxregretx3]

there just too amazing end of story

<3333

[chanchalaka]

My god i luv how thy dont give a shit. theyre so damn original. DRESDEN DOLLS FOREVER=P!!!!

[explodeme999]

i love the people statues very reminiscent of R.E.M. losing my religion...

[silverroze1113]

Amanda's (Palmer) high school music teacher told her she could not sing in the middle of the school's musical rehearsal.....look where she is now.

[roronoaslover]

She doesn´t have a gospel singer´s voice, but she has a sense of rythem and timing, she is a brilliant musician in every other sense. Not to mention, though her voice isn´t "Miss Perfect"´s, it has something to it that makes you dream <3

[dirntsmoshgirl]

I can'thelp but wonder what it would be like if everyone just stopped and looked around. And saw everything they usually miss, you know

Like she says, if you sang.I don't know. I think this song is alot deeper than all of the "Bitches and HO's" music that dominates todays society. It makes you think.

[roronoaslover]

I agree, I thought old music like Simon and Garfunkel, Elvis and such was dead, that we would no longer have great lyrics combined with beautiful music. The genre never mattered to me, so long as it was beautiful.

Dresden Dolls proved me wrong, good music is still here. :)

[Alun49]

A welcome return to some theatricality and dramatic performance absent for the most part as guitar-heavy, haircut obsessed replicants churn out meaningless sub-Oasis drivel. I love the Dresden Dolls and the fact they make me want to sit up and take notice for once. In the UK we now have the superb Ting Tings, but lets have some THEATRE TOO! HEY YOU GUYS! EYELINER IS SEXY!

[PandasEatingPeople]

it had to be blurred...

[smaddenleaman]

Does this remind anyone else, particularly the beginning, The Cranberries' Zombie?

[ricardoalviso]

holy crap...

my whole body and mind

this song is the best song ever

[forgetmenot1993]

i love the style of music that they have

i love the way the lyrics mean somethingand i love anyone who loves dresden dolls

in a fellow fan way of course

[raisap10]

You motherfuckers you'll sing someday..

[Bambiiyall]

you cant say "fat kids" in a music video? lol

[Scrogglez]

if you are talking about the ending, she says mother fuckers not fat kids.

:)

[smellslikechildren1]

Why would she say "fat kids?" "You fat kids, you'll sing some day." That's not very Amanda.

[supersayn53]

fats kids obviously your dillusional. do not smell the children it is not humane.

[smellslikechildren1]

I'm sorry, I only speak English.

[supersayn53]

pedophiles are wrong. also try expanding your vocabulary before you have your stupidity insult my intelligence. laters.

[smellslikechildren1]

I was referring to your grammar, not your choice of words.

[PandasEatingPeople]

She doesn't say fat kids... She says mother fuckers.

[smellslikechildren1]

I know that. I was replying to someone who thought it was "fat kids."

[depressed0emo]

depressing. . .i'm in love:)

[sophs104]

I only just got it n yea...shivers....

[rwillis911]

amazing

[WaltzdelaLune]

LOVE. I simply love them.

[poofehpants]

My god.

it sends shivers down my spine....amazing.

[oliviaisgod]

this song has made me cry on many occasions.not many songs can do that.

[jessefriesen]

I would much rather have some screaming in this video, some more feeling. This song is so very emotional and I'm sorry but I feel that certain bands could turn it into the passion it deserves.

[groovingheath]

um, seriously. screaming would only take emotion away. when you are sad, you cry... not scream. i dont think another band exists that could have put more emotion into this song. you can hear it in her voice... and the lyrics are incredible.

[zataomegamax]

screamo isnt music its noise, this song has emotion not primal rage

[sunbead]

yeah, but primal rage is needed every now and then.

but this song is perfect the way it is

[rwillis911]

this song doesnt need screaming to make an amazing point, it uses beatuiful lyrics that could even be whispered to make the point.

[larrypearce2]

So, are their songs all slow and weepy like this? Reminds me way too much of Tori Anus or some other sappy college pheeb music.

Great song to burn your tampon to!!!

[cored]

rofl@"Tori Anus"

Really like this song though.

[cored]

Lol, 2 neg reviews for my comment, when all I did was enjoy the humor, and comment on how much I like this song.

Get a grip people and enjoy life, it's pretty good.

[unknown145]

Look at 'Girl Anachronism.'

Just don't comment.

[crowlyyyy]

Boring troll is boring.

[FreyaSmar]

I so hate people who talks just the first nonsense that pops up in their minds.

Dresden dolls, slow? GIRL ANACHRONISM! sex changes... COIN OPERATED BOY!

Tori AMOS, slow? BIG WHEEL!! bouncing off clouds... teenage hustling...

[larrypearce2]

Whatever. I was told that these people sounded like The Legendary Pink Dots (whom I am a huge fan of)and that if I liked the Dots then I'd like Dresden Dolls. Well they don't sound anything like The Dots (based on their vids on Youtube) and I'm beginning to suspect that the person who told me they did is a retard. This broad sure looks like she does really stinky dumps!

[theROFLpanda]

She doesn't do 'stinky dumps,' she creates master peices... I think- well maybe a dump once a while. Like after a pizza or chinese- you know...right?

[auxilliaryverb]

weepy? do you know the lyrics?

[smellslikechildren1]

No, only some of them.

[jesusandknitting]

I'm in love with the Dresden Dolls however this music video sucked. It was like some corny PSA. I liked the whited out people though.

[Bevin137]

Amazing... I love them! And yes, Amanda is waaay cute!

[gogogogo66]

I love the song, hate the clip...

[steelstoner]

she is hot i dont know about the rest of you. but i have had a crush on her since i seen girl anachronism

[arkoholist]

i think everyone has a crush on amanda... <3
