Amanda Palmer and Neil Gaiman belong to a cult that opposes free speech and free movement. Scientology runs prison camps for its members, litigates enemies into silence and is responsible for suicides and suspicious deaths worldwide. Gaiman grew up being audited and intimidated himself and is used to lying. He may not even realize he’s a hypocrite. Scientology persecutes gay men and woman, by supporting Prop 8 in CA along with so many crazy scams and crimes I can’t list here.
@atmhso Wow I've watched this video so many times and somehow completely missed that. It looks like the video has been flipped because he's the other way round on the table too.
@gearpunk most of the beginning and some of the end is Annie Clark from St Vincent singing. thats why it doesn't sound like Amanda that much. Amanda has a bit more raspier tone, where Annie's is much hgiher and old-fashioned, in a way.
Haha I just stumbled onto this video. At first I thought these two were lesbians. I guess this is the place where widows and heart broken girls hang out.
I wasn't too crazy about this song when I heard it on the album. It sounded to me like it was saying "never question your lover; they're always right." Then I saw this, and it all makes sense. Amanda is so brilliant.
At first, I thought this was merely a song about devotion and love, until one day it was cranked up extra loud and I could hear the sobs in the second verse. It was then that the meaning COMPLETELY flipped.
Knoxville Girl, Where The Wild Roses Grow, The Willow Garden, and Widow's Grove are all songs about men murdering their wives/lovers, with no reason given. And those are just off the top of my head. It's been a pretty popular theme in music/poetry for hundreds of years, often referred to as "the murdered sweetheart" pattern. The nearest contemporary I can think of would be Henry Lee/Loving Henry, telling of a woman murdering a man over unrequited love.
for fuck's sake, it's not a satanic message ordering you to go and kill or beat up your lover, it's ART, it's BEAUTIFUL, so shut up and enjoy it. If you can't appreciate it click the little "x" in the upper right corner and begone with ye.
2. I hate murder songs. if a man beats his girl freind /w/e it is not worth taking his life. that girl wants to feel empowered she should grab a sledge hammer and wack him good. but it's not worth killing some one. there is some truth to something made him that way. we all have our scars. but we need forgiveness. not hatered and mureder

@devilbabegirlie actually im single. but the thing of it is I believe in equality and you know there is no song where a guy kills his girlfreind because she keeps beating the shit out of him. it wouldn't fly. I just am not a fan of sexism, and murder is never the answer. never. no matter what. peace on earth. good will towards men.
peope would call murderers like dommer monsters and then turn around and support something like this. its dispicable to think there are exceptions. dont pass judgmt
@brudswick Actually, there's just a bunch of songs about guys killing their girlfriends for "lesser offenses." If you're looking for a song that actually has f on m revenge for abuse in the lyrics you'd go to country, for "Goodbye Earl" and "Independence Day." This is not the song.
THIS song is from an old musical, 'Carousel' - a musical that has lines like "sometimes when a man hits you... really hard, it feels like a kiss." The video has that retrograde context and perspective in mind.
wow and all the aholes out there wonder why some women do not want anything to do with them. The other video of this song is nice too....love the victorian setting!
No, they don't have to kiss, and they love each other true but there is no saying what kind of love...they could have been sisters, friends, lovers....who knows?
I think it's interesting that the song is from the victims perspective and how she is trying to justify the abusers actions. From the song we get the impression that the victim continues life with the abuser, however I quite like this alternative ending where the victim has had enough!
Great video I wasn't expecting it to end like that!
Does anyone know why Annie wasn't in this video? I've had an itch to know. Amanda ever-so-briefly mentioned that things "began to get weird" and it didn't work out. (I wonder if Annie felt uncomfortable with the content of the video).
I'm confused by the ending. Obviously I understand WHY that woman would want revenge. But this is a subversive version of a song about why you should stay with an abuser. The theme of this version is , "Let's reveal the ugly message these lyrics send."
I'd expect the sort of ending where SHE gets killed, to show how women with that mindset often end up. Instead we're told, "Just kidding, she didn't mean any of it," which (while satisfying) takes away so much of the power of the rest of it.
In response to the explanation of where the song came from (it was posted a few pages back) - in Carousel, the song isn't sung by the friends of an abuse victim, to convince her to stay with her abuser. It's sung by the victim herself, to explain to her friends why she feels the need to stay with the abuser. It's creepy either way, to be sure - but it's probably even creepier with the victim singing it herself.
I was reading how this version "changed the meaning of the song to being about an abusive relationship." Thing is, the original was too. In Carousel, the guy IS an abusive jerk. He only gets redeemed in the afterlife, and he STILL hits his daughter!

I find Amanda Palmer far too self conscious in her attempts at conveying what is meant to be read as "shocking". Her work always reads as superficial, if not an adolescent mockery of the substance she attempts to mine.
@MasonJar13 Well, the thing is, it's not always that she's trying to be shocking. A lot of it is at least semi-autobiographical. "Half Jack" is apparently about her father, who left when she was a child. I've heard people claim that her treatment of rape in "Oasis" isn't to make fun of it, but her way of dealing with her rape. I could be wrong; I've not seen any official sources, so don't quote me on it.
@SiofraMorrigan Considering the provenance of this song, & the images she employs-I don't think you can argue she isn't attempting some kind of subversion, if not shock. Yes, this obviously comes from a personal place in her life (no doubt, given the narcissistic bent to her body of work). But again, the symbols she chooses are contrived & the work so didactic that it never reaches beyond itself into some greater relevancy. Which is unfortunate given that she does posses talent & charisma.
Contrived? Examine the beam in your own eye, my good sir, before contriving to pluck the mote from hers. If you check the dictionary under contrived, it reads "referring to a popular music video as 'work so didactic' "
No, it's not obvious that this comes from a personal place in her life. Statistically likely yes, obvious no.
This video made me cry. It's completely and utterly unusual, but it works. It's extremely emotional and touching, but not in an in-your-face way.
I just love how Amanda can take sensitive subjects, like rape and domestic abuse, and really make you realize how fucked up the world is, yet at the same time keeps a big smile on her face. It's really creepy... but amazing and thought-provoking.
The last scene with the husband served up on the table I think pays homage to the 1980's indie movie "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover" in the last scene where Helen Mirren avenges her lover's murder by forcing her abusive husband to eat him. Maybe this is Amanda's creative spin on it.
Amanda Palmer made this song tolerable for me. I loathed the original (or anyone else's) since I first heard it but I can listen to her version over and over.
The original song, "What's the Use of Wond'rin'," is from an American musical called Carousel. One of the main characters is being abused by her boyfriend - who is, incidentally, involved in a highly illegal scheme. When she finds out, she wants to leave him; but her friends sing this song to her, convincing her not to go because "good wives and girlfriends never leave, no matter what."
AFP is playing off that, though the ending gives the song a note of female empowerment.
Amanda Palmer, thank you for throwing Rogers and Hammerstein back in our faces. :)

The last scene with the husband served up on the table I think pays homage to the 1980's indie movie "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover" in the last scene where Helen Mirren avenges her lover's murder by forcing her abusive husband to eat him. Maybe this is Amanda's creative spin on it.

Amanda Palmer made this song tolerable for me. I loathed the original (or anyone else's) since I first heard it but I can listen to her version over and over.

@ Zstillwagon -
The original song, "What's the Use of Wond'rin'," is from an American musical called Carousel. One of the main characters is being abused by her boyfriend - who is, incidentally, involved in a highly illegal scheme. When she finds out, she wants to leave him; but her friends sing this song to her, convincing her not to go because "good wives and girlfriends never leave, no matter what."
AFP is playing off that, though the ending gives the song a note of female empowerment.
