I first came across this on StumbleUpon and was blown away by it. Amazing video and a truly enigmatic song sung by a beautiful singer. I cannot praise this highly enough.
This is such a masterpiece! So magical, surreal and breathtaking! I first discovered your work through deviantart, since then I always come here to see all of your videos. I'm really looking forward to your next work! And I also fell in love with Lolly Jane Blue's unique music, she deserves to be more popular!
this song.. it stays in my head.. all the time.. i cannot download it but i always check it on youtube all the time..lol.. this song and the worms song too lol
its a beautiful song, and this is an amazing video but how she sort of rushes some of the lyrics at certain spots all together is just...kind of cringe worthy. it does not sound good. 4:21 for example is just completely ugh.
@microbiaNL I am working with ermanno olmi again after 23yrs.It keeps surprising me how accessable our miracles are and keep showing your work and would so love to hear you speak about the process.Maybe sometimes.Why not come inhere.It is such a great way to "share" and was never possible before and this liberating scale.And i think you will find an enormous recognition and appreciation.Ciao.Ciao.
White Swan. Just magic. How to get born in the cold rain - and find a strength to raise yourself. How to knit the princess' wears and crown from the melting ice-cream. How to force the soulless metal to become an icy fairy tale. I guess you have to has SUCH A VOICE.
Great video, and cool song. The sets are amazing. It's a freakin epic. Havn't seen this much work put into a music video before. Great work to all who worked on this project.
Lovely video, but I want to say that Lolly is being under appreciated. After all, though the imagery is amazing, why can't anyone applaud the achievement of the singer doing the syncing BACKWARDS!? Come on! The preparations she had to go through must have been torture just to get the accuracy (though it was off in quite a few places) she had! It's not like the director went "by the way, do a reverse lip sync" and she just shrugged and went "no prob!"
Crystals of ice dance above our heads Throw their ...shadows over the lake Like a mirror for black beacons in the night Like a mirror for you White swan White swan Grief represents my heart I don't want to own it any more For everything I ever wanted Stops here In this silence I can sleep White swan
White swan Take me under your wings Cover me with your feathers Cover me Take me floating across the lakes Between the clouds and the water I want to forget where I came from I Don't want to know where I am going White swan White swan Hide me under your wings Cover me with your feathers Cover me

melting cotton candy in reverse and giant antique gears made in CG, you've got to be kidding me. give me a break, this kind of uncreative crap makes me want to poke my eyes out.

Well there is a reason behind this. The live footage was shot in reverse and lolly jane blue ( the singer) had to sing in reverse and assume its not easy. thats was the reason.
Alles is tot in de puntjes afgewerkt in die clip, juist kicku dat je dan die tattoo juist NIET weg haald, maar laat verspringen. Dit is zeker bewust gedaan !
This is the actual singer. She had to sing the stuff backwards. She is wearing cotton candy (suikerspin) what is shrinking because of the water. Well done. Amazing HD quality.
The Pagan, my latest music video for Lolly Jane Blue, goes live this Monday, January 23rd 2012, that's just 3 days away! Excitingggg!
