Delilah by Amanda Palmer - For Marci

[Zombbg4]

My apologies for that inappropriate comment, I meant to say "titties".

[Zombbg4]

Tithes

[vikio452]

Is it very wrong that I have this song stuck in my head as an upbeat funny version of itself? I must have dreamt it and yes, it is very wrong. Please tell me there isn't such a cover out there? And Please tell me if there is.

[trueshadow21]

Studio versions of this song never compare to when Amanda performs it live. This video is great and I recently saw Amanda perform it in person and it was amazing. She really puts everything into it while she is performing.

[horror17monkey]

i want to have her babies

[FearlessMongoose]

1 person is fucking stupid.

[kelsocoleman]

Rock on.....

[ZeroPointLibra]

Ah! I finally figured out why she keeps going to higher octaves. She is having trouble getting down there. Maybe she was sick or something? I know I can't get down there and I am within contralto range but considered a mezzo... Those notes are quite hard to reach. I imagine playing this on a regular piano was also hurting her hands because of the faster parts :(

[subliminalanger]

@ZeroPointLibra she generally has a quite deep voice, but that's just the way this song goes.

[ZeroPointLibra]

@subliminalanger this song goes down to C3 that is hard even for a contralto. I know how the song goes. I know it well. She is raising it an octave in places. My friend told me she was sick when she did this which explains it. But if you are going to argue with me which notes she is supposed to be singing I will show you a song book.

[samilc]

I can't stop crying

[ladymacbec]

thank you for posting this...this is truly incredible. so powerful.

[SmellaMuerte]

This is my favorite version of my favorite song. Love love love it!

[Nightie]

OMG. How have I not seen this version before now?

Goosebumps! Only word that comes to mind is: perfection.



[NiNjA100604]

she's an ARTIST!!!!!!!

....I'm speechless

[joetornatore]

smudgek3,

one of the best parts of raising teenagers for a parent is that you get to experience your kid's music. Delilah is now a part of me.

[smudgek3]

for some kind of entertainment, maybe call this vicars wife gets spiked with mushrooms and ketamine.

[1701990]

I just like it 'cos she's kinda naked.

[mardisaurus]

This song touches me every time I hear it.

What is the story of the song.

[YouAreMyDreamLove]

Dresden dolls are one of my favorites ones. I love the way Amanda plays piano and sings. Thats passion. You're the best....

This song is sooo beautiful, always makes me cry...

[ahhhsasha]

I cant find the piano tabs for this song! Agh! ilooooooooove the dresden dolls

[tahitianblonde]

I have gotten to see the Dolls live once, and AFP solo live once. Every single time I discover a new video or live performance, I love her even more!

[Nmpte23]

i love it =)) <3

[delovely1323]

GOD, this is like my favorite video on youtube right now.

[radiohead419]

sounds kinda like amanda palmer

[MyCrashLove]

@radiohead419 Becuz it is

[crash077]

she always sing this song with a passion that only musicians know.

[jadoredior1983]

Goddess she is the most talented woman out there. This song is awe inspiring. She's one of the few artists who is better live than on cd, but she is still fucking awesome on cd! AFP!

[kd59]

She is a genius, this song is one of my favourites, I can't get enough of it.

[phterrier01]

amanda is just special! a fantastic musician with a big heart!

[joetornatore]

I never heard of this band until yesterday. I'm 47. I never heard this song until today. I stumbled onto my stepdaughter's favorite music, most of which is not my liking. Then I found the song Sing and thought I would never ever find anything better by this band. I was mistaken....I have watched every version of Delilah on You Tube. In the last 24 hours have listened to this song on my Ipod about 50 times. I am speechless about this haunting song....wonderful heartfelt rendition here!

[musiclover609]

I couldnt agree more sir. I cant stop listening either! I Love Amanda Palmer. I'd recommend the song 'Missed Me', if you havent heard it all ready. Its another personal fav. of mine.

[DarkChildInferno]

@joetornatore I pretty much listened to Delilah about the same amount as well! I'm thoroughly obsessed with this band! Amanda Palmer is utterly amazing in every possible way!!!!

[rossewidge]

@joetornatore go cry, emo dad. j/k!

i'm almost 40 and i've been listening to them for years. you might also like Natlie Merchant's slow, sad, non-radio songs.

[fluox3tine]

@joetornatore enjoy it, there's not a lot of things better than this song on earth...

[mandys72]

@joetornatore You came to the right place, missy. You are never late in discovering Amanda Palmer

s music bc just when you think you don't like something you are compelled to watch more (forced, even) and you are rewarded infinitely. : )

[musiclover609]

Fuck Im speechless. This is incredible.

[marduk111]

thats awesome amanda, i really love it when you play. i would love to meet you again, i talked to you very breifly at a dresden dolls gig, and would love to finish that chat sometime

[monkeyrocketsurgeon]

hottest chick in the world... AFP

most incredible also.

fuck she is just beyond

[bsdaemon666]

Fuck I love AFP....

[TheMarcipants]

I love this more each time I see this. This is the best gift I have ever been given in my life!

[tmb1820]

i wish i was marci!

[WerewolfMorgue]

I love how she gives so much every time.

[jetsque]

Thanks Beth, the recording is amazing! It was SO worth missing out half a night of sleep on! <3

[dymphnasis]

That's the most amazing anniversary gift ever. Marci is soooo loved! Happy anniversary!

[angie24angie]

This is amazing... much better than what I captured from the webcast itself! :)

[AmandaPalmersStalker]

I was there for the entire live partyontheinternet. I loved every minute of it. Beth you are fantastic! Thanks for uploading this and joining YouTube! I love Amanda and everything she creates. This was beautiful and I am glad Marci enjoyed it.

[JackTheWire]

Bet the neighbors loved this...

But seriously, you rock Beth for making the fans get a chance to see this. AFP rocks for being AFP. What a quirky and interesting night.

Rock.

jmd

[caelvanna]

SO HAPPY YOU RECORDED THIS! The sound on my laptop sucked that night and I could barely hear it on the live feed. I was also SOOO freakin' excited that Marci picked this song! I is my all-time favorite DD song!

[SaviourSeph]

Awesome stuff (and the webcast was epic - glad there's a recording) :)

[shinaemaze]

Love how she's playing in her underwear and a robe lolz! Wonderful Amanda simply brilliant!

[ajesionowski]

Thanks for the higher quality recording, Beth :)

[shleebeans]

amazing! is anyone a more passionate performer?!

plus, belly love.

rock and roll as it should be.

[MathiasWyllie]

The only performer I've seen who matches Amanda's veracity is Sarah Slean. They do it in very different ways, but they're both so passionate and connect with their audiences so solidly.

[pinknpurple1093]

"Marci's wife bid on the song for their 10 year anniversary. " that's so adorable.

afp <333333333

[iamcoolalot]

still sounded perfect, even with having so little time to prepare.

damn.
