  • funny, she kinda sounds like st. vincent, another buddy of sufjan stevens

  • @bonniewithbeer - she is a dragonfly in butterfly's clothing.

  • i just don't get why its pictures of butterflies, not dragonflies...

  • I saw her/her band live at the Rock N'Roll Hotel in DC some years ago, I even won free tickets that were waiting for me at the box office for answering some questions correctly on her website but didn't know it!! It was so awesome, I can't even complain about paying for the tickets. Great show. Love her music.

  • plz don't kill me !

  • This is the most inspiring and brilliant song I have heard for a long time, if not in my life. Thank you Shara

  • still....awesome tune!!!

    

  • This... This is true artistic beauty. 

  • very artistic in the vein of kate bush, bjork, etc. fantastic artistic process. thanks.

  • you know sometimes when you're bored with your life and you think wow I need a change and when you listen to something like this you see that there's this aspect of life that you've forgotten and you feel good again , kind of

  • muy bueno, el coro es increíble!

  • Wow I ran into her music from the Vinnie paz song keep moving on. I have checked out all her songs and they are all visionary powerful. She is dope! Her voice and lyrics are epic indeed. I feel like floating and shit! Beautifully brilliant!

  • beschiesserne gehts nicht das is ein voll lames und schlecht nachgemachtest video

  • @rosierposie My gawd..yes! Her voice...his whistle... strings... amazing...

  • i love the running shots - 1:20, 1:56..

    wish they lasted longer

  • she is a little off... fantastic voice though

  • Amazing voice....

  • she's like an angel :)

  • What a weird video... to many butterflies.

  • @LifeInsideAMusicBoxx I'm sure many butterflies would find this video weird.

  • I can't believe that nobody is referencing Mia Doi Todd. My Brightest Diamond sounds exactly like her.

  • i just found this sweet

  • I love it! If only you could/would come and perform at "Feest in 't Park" in Oudenaarde, Belgium...

  • She is the new encarnation of kate Bush. So much passion in her music. We need this now. Right NOW!

  • @rosierposie thats not a flying reference is it ;)

  • How wonderful. I absolutely love this!

  • very nice i like it:)

  • Really loved this and all the other ones I have been watching over and over....very ...I love Golden Star as well. Can anyone tell me where Shara studied...she must be a classically trained vocalist in addition to a talented guitarist. Let me know please!!!

  • The music is nice and comfy but the lyrics are fake and they suck.Her voice is nice.Im tierd of hearing "she said"and "flying"songs,their no longer beautiful its worn out now.

  • @bluebow23

    Why don't you go write your own song about something you like, idiot.

  • song of one time............. in a place he arengh is speak to tax club its teal hew thake

    from thehr more and more all he now no need to teal a lot thing they pay and m,ore

    ...............

  • song of one time.............

  • have a hope very nice

  • have a hope

  • This is beautiful!

  • I colored a picture about this band... in the indie rock coloring book. its amazing

  • 2:20 to 3:10 speaks to me....

  • If you like this it's likely you'll likeOwen Pallett.

  • Bela música...linda voz...é quase um "LSD"  na mente...rs....a gente "viaja"....

  • Shes like a female Jeff buckley.

  • This is one of the best music videos ive seen in a very long time. Wonderful!!!!

  • This is one of the best music videos ive seen in a very long time. Wonderful!!!!

  • "La tiburona" (shark = tiburón) is better than Bob Dylan.

  • @rosierposie OMAHGAH! That would be out of this world!

  • she should sing with florence and the machine.

  • Rosierposie, that would be a brilliant duet!

  • makes sense fo her to sing backup for Sufjan since they both wear wings and are afraid of flying.

  • if humans could have wings they would stretch the size of an average modern day garage, or our bones would have to decrease in weight exponentially

  • @Krys0lovers0sos Or we could be born with motors in our lower back!

  • @Krys0lovers0sos

    and having hollow bones would make our bodies far less resilient.

  • God i'm just so fucking thrilled that there's a rock song with a string section in it that's actually used properly.

  • @medicalgarbage Haha... indeed. 

  • reminds me of annie clark/st. vincent.

    not a bad thing.

  • @moralityjacket that is exactly what I thought when I first heard her vocals.

  • @teaClocks word, let's be friends.

  • @moralityjacket Shara and Annie were both members of Sufjan Stevens' band at one point, and the two of them have performed together since. I love both acts, but Shara definitely has the broader vocal range.

  • stunningly beautiful...the video is lovely

  • flowless!!!!! epic!!!! magnificent!!!

  • one of the best of this band

  • 100% DIAMOND...

  • Beautiful song. Not quite so sure about the weird arm-flailing.

  • What TCM wrote.

  • Come and fly away with me...

  • Question: Why so many butterfly wings in a song called "Dragonfly"?

    Anyway, it's a nice song.

  • dragonfly has a wings to :)

  • @FFQueen92

    Yeah, that's what I thought too. Where were the dragonflies and dragonfly wings? - not as colorful as butterflies, I guess. - I really like this song, too.

  • She reminds me of Jeff Buckely...which is sweet! :)

  • I absolutely love this song, but I have to say, I disagree with her choice of shoes....

  • what the fucking fuck

  • So beautiful! <3

  • Lol, you don't like music with women? Okay.

  • @SkatankBremen

    löl junge, Im englischer Sprache heißt das "women", und "stoff" wird mit "u" (wie "stuff") geschrieben.

  • @SkatankBremen You don't like music with Women? Then what you listen, Backstreet Boys?

  • truely beautiful!

  • She is coming to portugal, I can`t wait!!!!

  • I have a word for this song and that word is BEAUTIFUL!

  • Way Cool, Beautifully done.  Reminds me a little of Magic Box by

    CARLA BEAN, Check her out.

  • I love the Bjork hairstyle she's rockin' from the Venus As a Boy video.

  • Loving this! Great song! Beautiful vocals and arrangements! Trippy video!

    Truly transporting! Thank you!

  • Me gustan los vieos creativos y este definitavente los es, megusta esa estetica magica pero oscura. la cantante tiene una voz sensacional. buen trabajo.

  • Sheer Beauty.

  • simplesmente AMO!!!!!

  • Epic!

  • reminds me of the 90's

  • for sure. It brings me back to the beginning of the 90's

  • You can see the brilliance behind this.. My kind of imaginative efforts putting this clip together.. Love the free spirited feel to this anyways..

  • omggg wouldnt that be a match!!! perfect

  • that would make me very, very happy for a long, long time.

  • are you kidding? if that happened, no other music would top it. We would just be listening to those few songs forever, because nothing could be better.

  • what a wonderful song!

  • Love this song!

  • great video and music

  • So beautiful :-) I fell in love with a woman.

  • To each his own.

  • so have I :)

  • I've listened to this song ten times since I first heard it, which was just a couple days ago...so pretty

  • this is the definition of beauty

  • She is positively radiant.  I saw her live, opening for Rasputina. I was simply captivated by her performance.

  • dreamy.

  • Блина, всё расчудесно - и музыка, и лирика, и голос, и клип! - сказка просто какая-то.

    What is the name of this lady?

  • Shara Worden

  • Sarah Worden aka My brightest diamond

  • Shara actually:)

  • ever since i came across this track 2 years ago, ive been trying to search for it ever since.

    and now, ive found it!

    omfg!!

    im soo happy

  • i love this video

  • ok, i'll fly away with you, just say me when

  • moving... very much so

  • Not to compare between the two, but she reminds me a bit of Jeff Buckley in this song - both in composition and delivery. I don't mean imitation to any degree, or even influence ( although that might be possible ); I think that Jeff would have liked this song a lot, and may very well have enjoyed performing it.

  • In fact she often mentioned Jeff Buckley as one of his deepest influences, and there's nothing wrong in that, it's beautiful :)

  • Agreed, there is nothing wrong with that; I was just pointing out what I heard in her voice .. which is very beautiful indeed. :)

  • she looks like a friend of mine, pretty face, pretty song.

  • This is simply beautiful, and I am so glad I've found My brightest Diamond. It's in my top 10, along with acts like the Cure and The Smiths.

  • I just wish there was a video for 'Gone Away'.

  • i was introduced to this from undergroudn hip hop group Jedi Mind Tricks

  • Likewise, Razorblade salvation was an awakening of sorts.

  • that's a dope track

  • amazing song. amazing video. if only i could fly...

  • yes... that is exactly what I meant, just this song and the way she is moving.. so pretty!

  • reminiscent of Bjork

  • Yes. I usually don't like comparisons to Bjork, because every unique female artist gets compaired to Bjork. But the opening of this video musically and visually is so much like Isobel it's hard to miss.

  • Beautiful song

  • круто!

  • Beautiful video...very artistic...I want to fly away!

  • they are soo amazing but dear goodness they have noooo money to spend on their videos. (i like them tho)

  • is this sarah worden?

  • she has an unusual voice that is so pretty...

    i love the song

  • The MOST AMAZING live performance I have ever seen. I love her shining soul. Her pitch and range is astounding.

  • Saw her perform at Hotel Cafe in Hollywood last night...amazing! It was so enjoyable to see such a talented musician in a live show. Go see her if you haven't already and buy an album. So many ideas for my own projects were buzzing in my head just from a couple songs I heard.

  • ok... this woman, this voice, this song and this video made me shiver and cry. true.

  • dragonflies have only one set of colors for their wings? i have a crush on shara lately, she's really really great. i blogged ALL about it.

  • This song really struck me of all of the songs off her album...very, very beautiful

  • lovely....many mahalo's.

  • wonderful...

  • amaaaazing :)

  • i absolutely fell in love with this. beautiful sound and Shara Wordens voice is celestial.

  • I love this artist. She is so versatile. It's a good thing too because her voice could easily be annoying. However, somehow her lyrics, tone, and pitch just pulls you in. Great video.

  • I just wish there was a video for 'Gone Away'.

  • beautiful!

  • yes music is art. I've allready forgotten. Thx for reminding me! :)

  • This is majestic. She transcends a fervor.

  • this is completely beautiful. she's gorgeous and though i dont get why they show butterfly wings in a song about dragonflies confuses me a bit, it's a completely unique clip. if you like this song, check out Magic Rabbit. their music is extremely disturbing, i find. i think thats why i love it!

  • BEAUTIFUL!

  • j'adore!

  • simpily amazing

  • The bass + those strings + the things you do with your voice ...

    How amazingly graceful.

    I find it resonates of Jeff Buckley.

    Truly heroic.

  • "I find it resonates of Jeff Buckley." That's exactly what I thought when I heard her for the very first time... But it's quite stupid to come to comparison, she's got something really unique...

  • this is one cool group/solo artist, very nice song

  • this is very beautiful.

    Also you have a lovely voice.

    :D

  • Your cd is amazing. Thank you!

  • I'm bewitched!

  • I love your music...hope to get a chance to see you in Germany! (I unfortunately heard the first time of you after your gigs here!!) Hope to see you soon! Vanessa

  • I love this song! I hope you do this in Arlington Friday. :]

  • very good song!! very good voice!! come back to portland area!

  • She's amazing live too. My favorite female vocals of them all as well.

  • I love this song! never heard of them until now!! *O*

  • =..0)
