[fairydust1893]

Just tought id say amanda you are beautiful an insparation and the pearson that all young girls and boys :) should be looking up to!

[JanuaryWonder]

Describes the last 10 years of my life perfectly. Brillaint woman.

[PhobicGamer]

I want to live before I die.

[ReyBeltane]

If I were Amanda Palmer I would be exactly the person I want to be too! sigh!

[thechaseiseverything]

i read the top comments and was like yeh whatever... and actually ended the video crying because it's so spot on what i'm going through right now.

[botonzico]

I'm exactly the person that I want to be too :)

[RyitGrrl]

I love AFP so much and as much as I love tjhat song, and I do, I really want that skirt!

[choatickittie1]

Some days I feel so powerless, but then I listen to Amanda Palmer and am reminded that it doesn't matter how many friends you have or how smart or talented you are, as long as you have pride in yourself, you're special.

[cloclo11thirty]

She landed Neil Gaiman. So jealous

[Er89John]

This songs remind me of Nico a lot.

Thank you Amanda for being awesome!

[kovalevskanne]

Neil Gaiman's wife.

[eyescoldandgrey]

@GuiltyCookie. it is what it is. I bet you're awesome now. fuck waiting for 25. I'm 27, i still don't think i'm beautiful. it's not needed. be you.

[wonderstruckschmuck]

This makes me want to shave my eyebrows, paint them on with eyeliner, and then start playing radiohead songs on the ukelele. Oh Amanda, you are my idol. <3

[MelDa420]

I'm not anything I want be, exactly everything I wish I'd wouldn't be -ITBEYOU

[vegriot17]

my theme song :)

[SunMoonFamilyGuy]

I've just watched this 5 times in a row

[vegriot17]

i adore you mrs. fkn palmer. keep empowering art luv :}

[briddishlove]

I'd love to download this but I'd like to pay. Don't have a way to get the money through, so for now I'll just listen. Ms. Palmer, you're amazing.

[mom2eandem]

ahhh, amanda. I dig you.

[bleeding9]

:-D Fuck. Yes.

[viperchris34]

Imagine when she's older and not as angsty and makes, like, *happy* music.

wwweeeeird.

[slaveluvsmaster]

I think I could listen to this song a million times in a row and not get sick of it.

[Gothaelia]

Art...

[CROWcatalyst]

Like many other people who've replied, I can relate too. I remember when I was younger, I'd bash myself and say I was lazy and I need to become smarter, skinnier. "I have the time now to study and gain so much knowledge."... I also promised myself I'd commit suicide before age 18. I had this horrendous feeling life would be hell after that age. Well, 18 came and went. My life actually did become a living hell, but I'm still here years after.

[jotasergio]

Spotify?



[TheBluelemon252]

I love you amanda palmer :)

[maddy123233]

Wow... for some reason I thought her eyebrows were tattooed on. I actually really admire that she paints them on herself. YOU GO AMANDA!

[PieCakeCookie]

Eelen Eelen , shes from that right

[mynameisnotapun]

@PieCakeCookie Evelyn Evelyn?

[xXAnimeKingTonyKunXx]

<3 C:

[emiliarjane]

Girl crush.

[gryce]

I would love 2 collaborate with her someday...

[samairewynne]

It's scary wonderful. HOW does Amanda know what is in ALL of our hearts? She sings for every human.

[bright3yes187]

I love her hairy armpits. <3

[amosthree]

She always manages to catch how you feel at the very right times.

[FJMAINEIAC]

@rgomez178 Because she's Amanda Fucking Palmer! And we love her for that exactly!

[deadbodygirl21]

I raped the repeat button 

[KaozDreamer]

@deadbodygirl21 The repeat button deserves to be raped. I'm joining, so it's a gang rape now.

[CaptainF0rk]

@deadbodygirl21 I raped the neighbors.

[RaisedByBadgers]

@rgomez178 She doesn't because (I think) she shouldn't have to just because women are 'expected to'. Why should women be expected to change something that's natural.

And I agree her eyebrows are awesome! But I have no idea what first made her think of doing it. :D

[damstuhltrager]

this is truly beautiful to me.

[GuiltyCookie]

I can truly relate to this song..... I have always, always just though about what I will be in future. When I was 14, I was sure that when I'm 18 I will be happy and beautiful. Then I suddenly was 18 and I decided that when I'm 20 I will be so good but now I'm 20 and I haven't got any better :D Well.... maybe at age 25 I will be happy, beautiful and have friends..

[Dreamergirl818]

@GuiltyCookie you will. you already are/do

[ajhayes]

@GuiltyCookie You know, sometimes you have to stop and look around you. If you keep hoping for the next "x" years to be good, you won't notice the amazing things going on around you. I think that's what this song is about. Pay attention to you, and you'll realize that you are who you are meant to be and you just need to surround yourself with people that are make you feel that way.

[rukez]

wonderful ... but where is piano that we are so used to? your last two years songs really miss it :(

[standupsp3ak0ut]

Amanda, I hope you read your comments, you are everything that in my mind I wish I could be. I have enjoyed seeing you live in the past, because you are a REAL person. I have found that in today's society I have to compromise a LOT to fit in, and to be successful in my jobs, and its refreshing to see that someone is able to be themselves and be successful and inspire people in the way I wish I could. Thank you.

[CanklesInKorporated]

Perfect.



[HuggableEmo]

she's my role model <3

[wiltay15]

jesus! they are fucking armpits...nobody asked you to lick them

[shammie85]

there comes a time when we as a nation, and more importantly as individuals must accept a sort of Glorious Decadence because decadence is imperative and only glory is optional

[MadamEdea]

My favorite song EVER, seriously. I love you amanda palmer. thank you!!

[xShinraTensei13]

You know, honestly, I'm not a big fan of unshaved armpits.

But Amanda's opinions are her own, and she has free reign of her own body, so, like any retorts to this message (as I'm bound to), I'll just say whatever you guys were going to-

My opinions can go fuck themselves.

And I don't care that she doesn't shave- I mean, I respect her individuality and her sense of confidence, which just screams "Fuck you all, I'll do whatever I fucking want".

She's a good role model for an insecure girl like me.

[mynameisnotapun]

@xShinraTensei13 that's a perfectly valid opinion, and you're allowed to have one :) youtube commenters can be idiots and ignore this fact. Dont let them be idiots to you with your opinion, as the respect hers, they should respect yours :)

[joiles01]

I like dinosaurs. I like to think who win in a fight of an allosaurus vs. a t. rex.

[JAReed910]

the perfection in this song is because she IS exactly who is wants to be. she doesn't give two fucks what anyone thinks. she grows her armpit hair long and make her own eye brows because she CAN. and that's who she wants to be.

[MadamEdea]

one of my favorite tracks off the album <3

[puzzleclocks]

So sad this isn't available on mobile! :(

[AnekaSvajone]

I needed this. This is my new anthem for 2012.

[AfterSunset]

youve saved me from a self that wanted to feel needless pains, and turned her into someone who wants to see each day as a new chance at making others smile :]

i've been your fan since i first heard coin operated boy at the age of 15. i am now 21 :o

thank you!

[demonella]

Amanda, thank you for making this song so easy to play along to for us brand-new ukulele players. <3

[tinynoelly]

aah : )

[GhostsOfKrysmasPast]

Thank you Amanda for sharing with all of us so many wonderful things.  You are an angel.

[SavethexQueen]

I love you Amanda but why do you choose not to shave your arm pits.. you're a sexy gal...

[iamtheafterthought]

@SavethexQueen ... for the same reason you chose to be a douche... because she can

[feliponsh]

i still love you, amanda. FOREVER.

[teatimeoclock]

When I grow up, I want to be Amanda Palmer....though sometimes I think she is already me...

[TheShorbzy]

I quite like this song, but she, aw Amanda.. your a real special lady. You help me to feel like its okay to be myself even though people can make me feel like a freak at the most of times and too weird to fit in with all the "normal" kids. :') thank you Amanda

[ChesterJSellars]

And it's funny that I imagined that I would be that person now... Amanda, Y U SO RELEVANT TO MY LIFE?

[cassielewis10]

I didnt mean that I thought she should. I just thought it was strange, I do believe to each there own and I think she is an amazing woman. And when I voice my opinion I dont expect to fucked with. Its a comment, nothing more. Grow up, please

[Julimrshll]

I want to go to there. So badly.

[narwhal4life]

I don't care if you're defending it or not. The armpit debate has no place on this video. The music is so much more than that.

[zanyartist]

Fuck yes...I am exactly the person that I want tobeeeeeeeeee!

[kirakira2k]

@Mrs2cutie4you , maybe you should go have a look at her song Map of Tasmania, and stop being so immature. It's a natural thing. If you have a problem with you getting under arm hair, then I suggest youget a solution, like taking a big knife, and cuting your arms off to make sure there's no space for hair growing. ;) xx

[aviansoul]

Wow! So glad I wandered here this morning. Beautiful...

[cassielewis10]

She is so beautiful, she just needs to shave. Its weird, I would be so uncomfortable with that much hair

[praisemyusername]

@cassielewis10 Woman in her natural state, maybe there's nothing more beautiful? <3

[kirakira2k]

@cassielewis10 I don't see why she needs to shave. You have no reason to judge her. She most likely doesn't care what you think. She's beautiful. This is her naturally. Would you rather she wore 3 inches of make-up? x

[Kennarose1000]

I think its really fucked up that people think its right to judge someone based on if they shave their fucking armpits or not... Wow.. Amanda Palmer is a way better person/WOMAN than any of you assholes are because she can stand up for who SHE is and not what other people want her to be. The arm hair thing doesnt make her any less feminine.. shaving is a choice not a fucking law ok? SO lay the fuck off. thanks

[bjarneandsnigel]

this is intervention palmer put the ukelele down and step back !

[banshek7]

Shes sexy to my Intellect and beautiful to my Eyes!

[gogogadgetkat]

I don't really give a crap about her hairy armpits and the big ridiculous debates that has sparked here. Amanda Palmer is one of the most soulful, heartfelt lyricists and I have nothing but the highest respect not only for her talent but for her confidence and that incredible pinnacle of self-respect that she embodies. If only more young women were able to so gracefully embrace being themselves.

[thelaughingman79]

@gogogadgetkat what i love most about amanda is her honesty and confidence. not to mention she has self respect. she writes about the human experience that rings true with me. another artist you should give a chance to is the rollins band. henry is really the only artist i know to exist to match amandas depth and emotional courage.

[yancybutler]

@thelaughingman79 Ever hear of Ani Difranco?

[mynameisnotapun]

@thelaughingman79 @gogogadgetkat so true, she's so beautiful, because of her self confidence as much of anything! Her voice and lyrics are amazing. She'll write and sing and do what she wants to and that makes me respect her so much. Gosh, she's incredible!

[astralacuity]

@gogogadgetkat Yeah, how can anyone possibly disrespect someone for not succumbing to a roll imposed on a gender... shouldn't that be praised especially by women?

[2sp33kiz2b]

@gogogadgetkat  !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Exactly

[tacoman7243]

AMANDA, YOU ARE FREAKIN AWESOME!!!!! Thanks for singing!! :D

[anoegenetic]

She's too freaking perfect because she's just as fucked up as the rest of us... wait...

[hirnlaerm]

want this room.................

[silona]

neat I just made arm bands similar to these...

[maankindj]

Thanks for placing the anxiety.

Sincerely,

a spaghetti-tangled-grown-up-min­d

[schnannigans]

god I love this woman.. THIS SONG.. THIS SONG.. *tear*

[roostershoot]

fuck yes

[musicmydrugmrm]

I love how Amanda can work through these common thoughts in everyone's mind, and manage to figure it out. I love it even more that she doesn't sing about what she figured out, she sings about the process, as to take us all along with her.

[eeeviiilll]

How in the hell have I not heard this song until right now? Too busy listening to Radiohead covers, I guess... Whatever, this song is amazing.

[creepela]

I'm not there yet, but I think I will be the person I want to be soon enough. Everything is on the horizon for me.

[connonym]

@lovekat62, you are correct :) he's the lucky one. An amazingly talented and quirky couple, you can picture them together so easily.

[MrRanderson53]

great song. makes you think of how you should treat your self the way you need to

[Bunniesonfire5]

I was told that this song reminded someone of me. Someone that I respect.. I wonder how I should feel. It's an interesting feeling, wondering exactly how one should feel.

[JustATadTooBored]

This is quite seriously the theme of my life right now. every line has meaning to me. every phrase has been thoughts I've thought. This is too beautiful.

[b2spirita]

@JustATadTooBored Gotta love moments like that..

[connonym]

I've loved this song forever and I just today realized that she's Neil Gaiman's wife, how cool is that?

[adoptedbyapopmachine]

@connonym It's hella fucking cool

[lovekat62]

@connonym Actually, I think Neil Gaiman is her husband. WAY cool for him!

[SCharlesDennicon]

No use to ask a GaGa or a Madonna or a Katy Perry to follow her example. She's just in a complete different level.

[ElFaBah11]

This is exactly what I needed to hear.

[adoptedbyapopmachine]

@ElFaBah11 same here!

[bogusinn]

fuck yes!!!!! thank you Amanda, that was beyond belief

[raevynofficial]

Brilliant. Simply brilliant.

[mascaraeyes89]

lol what about her armpit hair? i love her armpit hair. why are you even on amanda's video if you're so surprised about that?

[mascaraeyes89]

this songs makes me feel perfect every time i hear it. and i'm usually so imperfect in my mind

[danishcheese7530]

i really don't get all the comparisons to gaga. amanda is self expressive and innovative. gaga is just raunchy and attention hungry

[VonBlade]

@danishcheese7530 Plus Amanda is clearly a woman....

[zombiesrcuming4u]

@danishcheese7530 Amanda, GaGa, Madonna. Watch it.

[ciaraxxxa]

this song is so beautiful

[galncogneato]

<3

[gingerninja79]

I tried to write a poem once about how I saw myself as a 30yr old and one of the lines I put was 'I would be able to wear high heels and look like I know what I'm doing' I'm 32 and I'm never going to be able to do either of those things and after listening to this I feel like it doesn't matter, and that's so nice! :)

[1995bobbygirl]

in my mind im amanda palmer

[p0ul3nc]

It's like she knows my life story. So weird how much I relate to this

[Mrs2cutie4you]

and did u know when she has haterz we know she is doing sommthing rigt

[ahatterschivalry]

beautiful

[Kristy2078]

To the people who noticed her armpit hair: WHO CARES. She is free of a societal taboo, and no woman should be ashamed of her body hair.

[Smischmal]

@Kristy2078 In the words of Amanda Palmer just a few moments ago. "Fuck yes."

[Schemilix]

@Kristy2078 And good on 'er. Me I shave because I don't like being hairy, but I by no means think people should shave if they don't feel the same way as I do. I mean what the heck?

[TheCarmillaShow]

@Kristy2078 I'm just speaking for one person when I say this. Its not the fact that some are ashamed, its just some find hair annoying, and intolerable, from the neck down.

[TWITfromURANUS]

Nice. kinda reminds me of Hazel O'Connor

[HunterTTP]

Armpit hair @00:52

[wheatpuff]

You are one of two women in the world I would like to make love to.

[Johnny123456789x]

The “In my mind, / when I'm old I am beautiful” I just found really moving, even though I've listened to this song many many times.

[RCRobVlogs]

The "fuck yes" always makes me smile. God I love this woman.

[Mrs2cutie4you]

am i the only one who sees underarm hair??

[RCRobVlogs]

@Mrs2cutie4you No. You're just the only one who cares.

[Johnny123456789x]

@Mrs2cutie4you Yes, sir. I have no idea what you are talking about. You must surely be delusional.

[Mrs2cutie4you]

@Johnny123456789x um i am a girl...

[stairwaygoddess]

@Mrs2cutie4you Yaaaay armpit hair! :D

[Unifex]

Doh! "The content owner has not made this video available on mobile" :(

[bettybroo70]

this song is so badass. pretty much everybody feels this way, but there aren't so many who are willing to admit it. right the fuck on, amanda palmer!

[GeorgiaGrier28]

this is a great song, because i think most people can relate to the lyrics:)

[TheBrainkabob]

I love her lyrics

[lynnsbomb]

alright, that did it..... now im convinced there are 9 buffoons in this world

[BettyBiteMe]

i love this.

[phrenology888]

My favourite Amanda video. Calming and inspiring. So glad she played this song at Heaven.

[songersogner]

This is rather lovely.

[CosmicxMonster]

beautiful, i could never forget this woman.

[nichtswiezuvor]

if i was amanda, i wouldn't want to change anything either!

[edgeeffect]

A cheap and hurried video that looks so much better than many many expensive, carefully produced ones... thumbs up all round.

[edgeeffect]

"To dream of the person you would like to be is to waste the person you are."

[k1tsch83]

@edgeeffect I'd like to tattoo that to my brain as to never ever forget it.

[facets4fact]

im addicted to this song... its Ridiculous....oh well... whatchagonnado

[katey03]

I think everyone can relate to this song,

[xxdeathxxtoxxposersx]

this hit me so damn hard....

[twopure]

Meanwhile in Lady Gaga's video, mermaids having sex!

[Johnny123456789x]

@twopure I find it really cool that we have both things, frankly.

[Nell440]

I started crying when she smiled at 3:13

omg. i am so singing this in my voice class. XD

and i want that outfit. :DDD
