  • I read an interview with this guy and it made me curious..

    I'm so glad I typed his name into youtube cause I love his songs ♥

  • this is so lyric and beautifull - it hurts

  • This is pretty shit to be honest. Weepy childish frailty mixed with lyrics abour murder....it just screams "pretentious".  Also, his voice sounds terrible here.

  • lol my like makes it 666 likes in total

  • Goosebumps!!! Incredibly haunting voice, beautifully sad. Maybe the deepest song I've ever heard!!

  • Just discovered Perfume Genius and I'm VERY impressed :)

  • Comment removed

  • I love this band, I love Mike Hadreas, I love this song, and I love everything he is. I can't get over how good this music is.

  • is this what hipster people listen to?

  • It bothers me that so many people seem to treat music like a sport.

  • @Kinesthetiacmusic what do you mean?

  • @guapitok4 Like it's a competition. People saying stuf along the line of "This band sucks!" "My music is better!" I'm not saying everyone does it, but I see it a lot. As humans we should be happy we can even perceive music and feel emotion from it. It's an amazing thing.

  • my favorite sad song. one of them at least.

  • Thank You. Thank you. Thank you. I wish you were around when I was a baby poof at 19.... Pure beauty (and that ain't smoke up your ass). Please come to Melbourne one day....

  • In a weird little way he reminds me of Iwan Rheon.

  • Mary Bell......creeeeeeeeepy

  • rich and compelling 

  • incredible! perfect!

  • This is legitimately terrible.

  • @FuckingCameron It takes an aquired taste to like Perfume Genius.

  • is it just me or does he kinda look like The Tallest Man on Earth? at least in this vid

  • @rowandoutrejones He does a little. Their facial bone structure is similar.

  • Does anyone else hear "the gout, the gout" everytime they hear this song?

  • I love his music. He's a fantastic artist, and this is one of my favorite songs.

    This video doesn't do the song any justice, though. All they're doing is focusing and unfocusing the camera.

  • @oppositeofcreativity Fuck off you dick

  • @fact67 I fail to see how that makes me a dick. I was just stating an honest opinion. This song had a lot of potential for a good music video, but instead they chose to film him sulking around some motel for the duration of the video. It doesn't have any substance whatsoever, and to top it all off, the cinematography is complete shit. I don't know, maybe some people find it deep and meaningful to zoom in on random objects for three minutes, but not me.

  • @oppositeofcreativity Sorry. :-( I f you look up what the song is about it may give more of an insight to the video. The (true) story behind the song is actually quite disturbing. Apologies :-)

  • @fact67 That's okay. And I've read about Mary Bell, but I don't necessarily understand what this video has to do with it.

  • @oppositeofcreativity Thanks mate. All good. Sometimes I can't work things out either and I like that.

  • Comment removed

  • This song could be at the end of Donnie Darko, would fit so perfectly. (although the song that is actually at the end of the film fits even better haha)

  • I love your music.

  • This song would have been better if the video actually had anything to do with Mary Bell instead of a sad looking boy moping around an American motel room.

  • a real artist :) 

  • I see a lot of people complaining about VEVO. Well, this is a website that don't belong to us and it's costs millions and millions to be online for us all every goddamn day of the year. Really expensive shit. In Youtube you can watch tons of videos of everything absolutely for free, so people should stop whining about VEVO since they can and they NEED to make money out of it.

  • I saw this just last night.

    Glad to have discovered him. :)

  • fantastic

  • I'm sorry to say this, but this song, and Perfume Genius himself, come off kind of contrived.

    Am I the only one?

  • @RuthlessVision maybe this song yes. but the entire body of his work, no. his music is deeply personal, and he is definitely genuine. most of these songs were written a few years ago, and posted on youtube. only now they are beginning to become popular. i've been listening these songs for like three years now.

  • @RuthlessVision Of all the crap media out there that "entertains" people, you choose to label THIS as contrived?

  • beau à pleurer. Somptueux

  • I LOVE HIM!!! hes super adorable in person!

  • amazing

  • I ♥ it

  • I wonder if they actually rented a motel room to make this video. Hahah. Great song.

  • @LivingLucid

    This is bubblegum? It's a fucking piano ballad about a child serial killer. Can you please tell me what's bubblegum about that? The lyrics are several layered allusions, and it's quite intelligent. Don't hate on it just be cause you didn't catch them yourself.

  • @hightimesbruce Don't hate on bubblegum bro.

  • ...speaking of casting a spell; I'm casting one on balls*.

  • 73 people don't have the ball to appreciate this.

  • thanks for the comments to my song

  • another mentally impaired dude with a gay voice and naive lyrics trying to act deep

  • Great TUNES. The guy is really connecting with his inside. THUMBS UP!

  • @irminlean hes connected with depression n fuckin prozac

  • wtf this sucks, there is no artistry in this song!

  • @HollywoodStars411

    there is artistry in just jamming, here is more than artistry , here is a soul of an artist .

    Because you are not able to catch it's profound side, you will seem to more developed people as a flat person.

  • lookout to your carrer

    WTF IS THAT?

  • wtf is this!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • What if your adopted and you have two dads? Fuck these commercials xD

  • Fuck you Vevo you suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @Jstu93 YEAH FUCK VEVO.. THEY SUCK. THIS SONG IS GARBAGE. WHO WOULD ENDORSE THIS HORSE SHIT? VEVO NEEDS TO JUST DISSAPEAR

  • @Jstu93 You are so right my dear friend!

  • @Jstu93 That's because they aren't yours.

  • @Jstu93 I cast a spell. Now the greedy suits will start packing up and leave their offices.

  • @Jstu93 This is the dumbest thing I've read in a while

  • @Jstu93 These 'greedy corporates' provide YouTube with the revenue they require to keep YouTube ALIVE. Without the ads, without the VEVO accounts, there would be no YouTube for you to whine about. Damn those filthy corporate suits for providing us with a chance to keep watching any of the 48 hours of material uploaded onto YouTube every minute, right?

  • How did Big Boi's Shutterbug lead to this?!

  • the lyrics might have a point which I'm gonna find.

  • @dashlandomspace Look up the name Mary Bell.

  • this song is realy gd, :-

    youtube.com/watch?v=l24VjRxvyo­Y

  • Que cancion con sonido mas triste!!!...pero esta genial.....

  • beautiful video :)

  • waaaaaaaaaa  :'(

  • its about the mary bell murders.. she was a ten year old daughter of a prostitute who killed two young boys... after the first killing she broke into a school leaving a note saying "look out look out! there are murders about." She also carved an 'M' onto the stomach of one of the boys. when you know this and listen to the lyrics again it makes alot more sense.. beautiful beautiful song

  • @MegaMusli Before I thought the instrumentals and the lyrics were absolutely beautiful. Now, after reading your post, I feel more knowledgable and more in awe of the song. However, I can't help but a feel a little bit creeped out. This doesn't change what I feel about the song though, which like you said, is a beautiful beautiful song.

  • @MegaMusli this guy is twisted...

  • @MegaMusli Yes it does lol

    Thank you

  • man thnx for the info dude this song is beautiful but also rather creepy

  • @MegaMusli man tht info was needed for sure this song is beautiful but also rather creepy

  • @MegaMusli thats so sad man-when did that hapen and where-the us?-j

  • This song good for sleeping (in a good way)

  • my speakers are crying

  • okay,

HOWEVER IF YOU DO NOT POST THIS COMMENT TO AT LEAST 3 VIDEOS YOU WILL DIE WITHIN 2 DAYS. NOW UV STARTED READING THIS DON`T STOP. THIS SO SCARY. PUT THIS ON AT LEAST 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN YOUR DONE PRESS F6 AND YOUR LOVERS NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS

  • It's a beautiful song.

  • Sounds like a shittier REM.

  • Comment removed

  • not gonna lie, this shit made 0 sense, dude was talking bout mary, mary, and i want pink hair and a curled mouth....i understand people tryin to be figurative with their words and make veiled messages and subliminal undertones but i fail to see how any of this was 'depressing'; Same thing with Kanye's mini-runaway movie, outside of the fact that he was tryna say people shouldn't judge him based on what they hear in the media, it made no sense. They're trying to hard to be different...shit sucks

  • @wagnep42 ur a dumbass

  • @whenshaltthoubebetta hahaha thank you, i appreciate it, but it would help me more to explain what kinda 'expression' theyre goin for, that way i wont continue to be a dumbass lol

  • You don't need to belt out notes to make music people. Personally, i like the song.

  • wtf did i just listen to, he isn't even singing. The sound of his voice is horrid.

  • this is GAYYYYYYY, if he can a deal anyone can check out youtube . com/yaboytyle he is a great up n coming rapper

  • i want to like this but this nigga just makes no fucking sense ................i feel depressed just looking at this dude

  • @jayboom11 I think thats the point...its a song for depressed people lol

  • i'm gonna sleep and i just wok up

  • dont sing again please !!

  • This should be on the Breaking Dawn soundtrack :3

  • There are a million other songs out there just like this with huge fanbases, the only difference is this video is on VEVO and was clicked on with preconceptions of something different. People can get over it.

  • I don't understand why everyone is complaining. There is shit out there that is much more inaccessible that this, like Orthrelm, and Nurse With Wound and Ahleuchatistas. This is an awesome song, and I love pop music too. I just don't see how this is so hard to like.

  • gayest song ever.

  • @ImGrowingNot agreed :)

  • I really like this..It has kind of an Indie/Urban outfitttery feel about it lol..

    Different

  • @evamusicbomb I've said this before and I'll say it again, Urban Outfitters is the hipster equivalent to Wal Mart lol

  • Okay.... This is mediocre at best.

  • this is amazing

  • <3

  • Why does vevo only promote CRAP

  • idk about you guys, but i like this.

  • video is interesting but the song is bland. there are so many musicians doin this shit and more.

  • This sounds very much like REM in parts. Especially in the chorus.

  • it's also bad as our french music

  • To everyone wtf-ing this song, I can see why you don't like Perfume Genius. You just have no heart and soul, since everyone I know and has those two cannot listen to any of his songs without shedding a tear or two. But being heartless seems to be okay these days, so go on, live your meaningless little lives and keep posting hateful comments on youtube, I don't think Mike Hadreas cares at all.

  • Does Bin Ladin have a vevo too?? Everyone has one wtf

  • Don't be made just because this wasn't what you expected

  • Mmmmmm... 3 Words...

    WHAT. THE. FUCK.

  • Trash

  • look out, bad video

  • I love Perfume Genius.
