Very haunting, but at the same time, something in the end of the song, when Sandy left, made me get up and shout with joy at the idea of her getting that freedom.
@PieCakeCookie i think the story is that, Evelyn and Evelyn met Sandy in a place run by that mrs bulger who used children in the child sex industry...she only wanted to use them up until their teens...its quite sad really :(
@puzzleclocks i don't mean to offend you but i digress from that , it may be a metaphor as you say but i suspect that it's just part of "the tragic events of September" as part of a story , however , neither of us shall know for certain since we didn't create this masterpiece
It's not just the things AFP touches anymore, it's even the things made by people touched by her, it all just overwhelms me with how epic it feels but how grassroots it is.
@PoisionedSweets it is definitely about adults exploiting children. Those who have cared for Evelyn Evelyn don't always seem to have had their best intentions at heart. I love this song because it is the objective observation of their situation in the context of a third party. Poor Sandy.
"What do they do with us when they are through with us???"
I always liked this song and I always found it very moving but, watching this video, I am actually crying actual tears. Powerful, strange and gorgeous.
I first encountered Jason Webley a decade ago on the side of a dusty path in Oregon, stomping and accordianing and howling a song about the end of the world. I was twelve, and completely transfixed. It is so incredibly gratifying to discover someone at a time of almost total obscurity and see them become widely recognized. I couldn't imagine a more phenomenal, godsent collaborator for him.
wow, this is a beautiful video. I always liked the instrumental, but was never especially fond of this version. Now I see why this is such a great song though. Aside from the storytelling narrative that is seen throughout Evelyn Evelyn, but not so much in Jason and Amanda's other work, this is the perfect mesh of an Amanda Palmer song and a Jason Webley song.
Amanda Palmer, if I had a nickel for everytime you've astonished me, I would be rich. I never get bored of your songs, and I can just sit and listen to them over and over again.
It's absolutely beautiful how this song ends. Gives me chills every time.

@PieCakeCookie Actually, it's not about "being used by pedophiles" or rape. It's about child prostitution.
"The day she turned thirteen" part shows that she was removed from that system since she was no longer a kid.

Because it doesn't matter how many likes a good video, or how many dislikes it. Ratings won't change the quality.
