Sam Amidon - Wedding Dress

[WoWanate]

I am so dumbfounded how this has such an awful up/down ratio.

[Naudins]

His voice reminds me of Arthur Russell.

[Plato722]

I heard this on a radio station in Maine (where I grew up) while living in Washington, DC (thank God the station has streaming)... they play obscure pieces like this that are a great treasure. I like this song, very artistic and has a nice melody. I don't hear horns in pieces much these days, and Sam did a spectacular job in putting acoustic guitar with horns. I love it, really. Uplifting and is sung almost like a ballad. Songs like this are the moments to stop and smell the roses - great!

[zwwl]

love Pentangles version but this is great!

[llamavszombie]

this is the real, amazing, indie folk i have been searching for for SO LONG! i'm sooooooo glad i found it!

[ChadCarrothers]

One of the most beautiful things about art is when young people make old art new again.  Be it Sam Amidon with folk or the many bands in the soul revivalist movement, this is music that inspires.

[NETSIRK71]

accidentally running into your music on you tube has inspired me in many ways...thank you!

[wsbarkerathmcom]

Naysayers, nobody asked! but anyway, sorry for being so judgemental, but I quite like it, nice and relaxing, background chillout. I like that it's traditional airs. I didn't watch the video much, but it looked interesting enough. Appawently the pwuppets vewy scawy

[javahippo]

It's really hard to find a good artist that makes you smile. If I listen to this song while getting ready for school, I'll have this smile on my face ALL day. When there's nothing to smile about, I turn to Sam Amidon. Thank you.

[H41RB4LL]

I already loved the music but this video is SO amazing! From the tape to the knitted cage, perfect. Great production

[LaBellaRosa]

I love this.

[leadx45]

i really like this!!! love the song

[rudyfoolish]

the stuff of MAGIC! *sigh*

[midgetandgaint]

i think that this is a really good song.

[ro72690]

a good friend of mine introduced me to your music the other day, and i've been listening to it nonstop. it's wonderful. and don't even listen to the narrow-minded idiots that have left negative comments on here. this video is amazing.

[serchnrescue]

The whimsy of this video matches the music seamlessly--pardon the pun! I love this!

[circe0800]

the video is so cute! Thank you... I like less the song but the clip is really lovely and original

[madmuffinz]

This song gives me smiles. And. I wanna sew and knit now.

[RobinsGoldNow]

I really like it. The music and the video fit together. Wonderful!

[joshevanlei]

Oddly, I LOVE IT!!!

[katroman25]

Strangely interesting and beautiful. The song is great with this video. Good job.

[esoraleak]

Disturbingly beautiful. I applaud the artist. If you don't like it, don't watch it.

[iltryanythingonce]

@esoraleak "Disturbingly beautiful"............bit much

[faissalon]

very beautiful vedio

very talented

[higgiesdad]

This was great. 

You guys should leave jw22...what'z'face alone. Didn't your parents ever tell you that its not nice to pick on the retarded?

[boofsmom436]

What a sweet little video!  You are very talented.

[laurastella01]

Veramente carina, da ballare sull'aia dopo la vendemmia.

Video da premiare per l'originalità. Bravi davvero!

[madmuffinz]

The song is fun to hum to.

[lithuana333]

This video and song are amazing. Very beautiful, simple, lovely, and unique. An artistic achievement indeed.　As for jw22345's comment, I completely disagree. unfortunately it is people like him who make youtube "suckdick" - we'd all appreciate it if you went away forever, ignorant loser.

[jw22345]

ok im sorry but when i come to youtube, its not so i can look for stupid crap that you think is art but is just retarded random shit put together... i dont care if you know how to make a puppet move or animate with pictures... its not interesting at all and thats wat is making youtube suck dick... do us all a favor and stop putting your "creative" and "artistic" videos on youtube.

[deathcoil6]

what a sad person jw22345 is. have you asked yourself what the purpose of youtube is? why do you discourage people for sharing their art? yah it may not be appealing to you but are you really that self centered? in a way i pity you, i can't imagine how you where brought up and what kind of environment you grew up on. read your comment once more and reflect on it.

[RonkonkomaOndinnonk]

Very sweet.

[Rjax842]

nice video cool song. Dont worry about the haters. They ain't doing shite so they knock people that do.

[sodacolapop]

I would have liked it more if the doll didn't look scary x.x *agrees with the mummy comments down there*

[Maenad00]

That puppet looks more like a mummy or a zombie with its empty, blank eyes. It gives me the creeps.

[kizpaws]

OMG, use your imagination; theres more out there than Barbie dolls... AND as for the "jaws wired shut" comment, perhaps you should clean out your ears. I liked the video and the song was a beautiful cover.

[t1tspears]

i thought it was really cute

[MartinStarFlash]

terrible song, sounds like you're jaw is wired shut

and you cant just take two words that rhyme and use them over and over again for each verse. I quote:

"oh its already made,

trimmed in red,

dressed all around with a golden thread,

golden thread,

golden thread,

dressed all around with a golden thread,"

its like that through out the entire freaking song.

[goodbyecello]

hey dumbass, it's a COVER of an OLD irish folk song. hence the song's vast simplicity.

[goodbyecello]

wow...

[MidiPunk]

Now I gotta break out the Pentangle version.

[Titansrock]

thats one scary puppet.

[GamertownUSA]

The song is awesome, but the puppet is creepy. Then again I have been playing Silent Hill Homecoming. (Scarlet boss battle. Yikes!)

[psy008]

this is sorta creepy

[PSxPRODUCTIONS]

This is such a cute little video, I absolutly love it.

[BooogerKing]

You absolutely spelled absolutely wrong.

[krossF]

i'm slapping my balls to the tune of this song

[OnTheSaneSide]

ROFL

[BooogerKing]

Ha ha!

[angeligabrielle]

HAHAHAH.... too funny!

[kira1226]

bahahaha lmao!!!!!! this comment made my day

[nicsa]

An instant fave! Nicely done!

[SeverusZed]

adorable!

[ingvey]

yes its is disturbing and I love it .The talent just flows out tHanks

[jessicakate14]

I read the text comments & was worried about disturbia, however, there is NOTHING disturbing about it! what's wrong with you? Whomever was creating all the "sewing" & the video composition was amazing!!!!!

[Rockfaerii]

By disturbing, I obviously meant "unsettling" since that is the definition for the word. I can't explain why, but I got that weird, uneasy feeling when I watched this video. Not that I don't like it--it's great.

[388Penguin388]

Maybe a puppet attacked you in a former life?

[zenozebra]

amazing but the doll kind of creeps me out

[saladshootavvv]

Who produced this? it's really freakin good!

[DaPieguyStudios]

chuck norris

[MacCairnie]

Chuck Norris would need no strings to move a puppet. He could do it with the power of his mind.

[DeathCabForKasey]

i won't lie

that was kind of creepy

but it took some mega talent

kudos

[limorzvi]

nice

[kvlach89]

that was pretty cool.

[kira1226]

wow that puppet was super creepy... but it knitted a kitten so yay!!!! ^_^

[b1a2n3k]

that is a beautiful work, i enjoyed the song its lyrics and your stop action work is awesome. the macrame is impressive. thank you kindly.

[WHATxISxNORMAL]

meesa like....very awesome XD

[durge666]

[DasDonnyandSpike]

[TheWolfWithinMe]

creepiest puppets i've ever seen... srsly.

Not to say this is bad, it's just creepy. >.>

[MegaLiz25]

Really neat...me likey.

[tsjoencinema]

cool video

[Imrealer]

awesome good great

[mynameisKimyeah]

cool

but kind of scary...

[Rockfaerii]

weird, awesome, disturbing, beautiful, interesting. Love it and hate it at the same time, which is really weird. Great Job!

[ras9191]

original keep up the good work

[djwizzpixel]

There's nothing disturbing about the puppet surely. It's a sad creature, got no eyes, can't really work out what's going on around it. All it has is its music, so it makes a garment of it to protect himself. Simple story, well told. NEXT!

[dodger666999]

loved taht played idea ( paper player)

[ellopoppet54]

this is very unique, but in a good way.

good job :]

[mwb324]

yeah this was eerie

[kraftymomma1979]

I like puppets and am artsy-fartsy, so, no, I didn't find it disturbing. BUT if a clown had popped out at some point, I would be running for my car right now. I suppose it's a matter of personal taste combined with early childhood experiences. The song is definitely beautiful.

[Camimations]

am i the only one that found this mildly disturbing?

[Knitella]

I can't believe Sam is featured on YouTube! I saw him open for Final Fantasy a month ago, he is wonderful. This video is marvelous as well, seeing it really made my day.

[Disturbedroximo]

LOl this reminds me of 1 of tool's music video's rofl.

[RedElfur]

vá ædi :)

[flaggirl]

There are so MANY creative people with wonderful ideas. This was great.

[YueMolkoDepp]

Am I the only one who felt scared by the puppet?

if it had had another type of music, it would have been really creepy...

[loverswalk89]

wow beautiful!

[sango32510]

What Genre is this considered?

[8Irish8Lad8]

folk

[unavaliable2]

good job i enjoyed it. five stars

[fukapple]

Very artistic.

[beckstraordinary]

This is very beautiful.

[wisdom88girl]

nice voice

feel swarm

[desoshade]

The music was awful, but if you turn the sound off and ad your own soundtrack, it's alot like a Tool video. Creepy even. Especially when the puppet goes crazy and starts ripping apart the tape player.

[verabeto]

muito bom

[AntiRushx2]

I like cookies

[peteramidon]

Sam Amidon is a beautiful genius!!!!! -Peter and Mary Alice Amidon

[ferrinho]

wonderful, love his voice.

[christsbassist89]

Brilliant.

[cgxiaoliang]

very cool

[metaphysikz101]

very calming music....borders on boring i think lol....dunno....give it a listen when im sober tomorrow =P but right now i enjoyed

[Toralya]

I liked it, but the camera angles confused me a little occasionally.

[DigBreamer]

cool

[JulieMokhtar]

oh dis is so adorable!! beautifully done n da music jus kinda goes hehe love it!!

[gregart999]

i know this

[FLAisDrew]

great lighting and concept, i don't know if this is a "short film" or a "music video"...love the animation as well as the puppet and puppetry.

[liyanjieliqian]

It's very funny.

[scorpionting]

great

[nessamaine]

wow! i love this...the music, the animation, the subject matter...all of it. just lovely.

[inphanta]

The music's a bit meh, but the video is very artistic.

[Drstrangelove17]

Incredible! Looks like a lot of work.

[BrokenBananaPhones]

I like it.Very folk art inspired.Beautiful song and voice.Come with me to the appalacian mountains my angry posters.Get some culture without the neon.

[steimannbernard]

artistic

[sango32510]

I like the song very strange yet nice...Don't worry about it at least you have an opinion about music.

[dkongo]

I'm all for new and unique music, but this is just to weird for me. Not only the music video, but this guy's style of music and his voice just doesn't appeal to me. Go ahead and thumbs me down!

[MrKabDrivr]

Why thumb you down?? You are entitled to your opinion, and you do it in a respectful fashion... Not like some other ppl, I might add! Actually, I thumb you up just because of that!...

[stainedpast]

I'M SO EXCITED! I've been a fan of Sam's for about a year and its finally OUT THERE!

Make sure to watch the videos where he's playing with his friends. They put CD's on paper inside a piano and stuff to get the coolest sounds.

[songOmatic]

Nice instrumentation.

[andrespereyda]

that was cool when i realized an item of clothing was being knitted from a micro cassette tape. that was cool. :)

[Rapider99]

Ahh This is cool video !

THANKS

[jszczepaniak]

if that thing had red cheeks it would look like the (saw) doll

[naenae2993]

2:20 looks like a tampon!!!!!!

[roaz134]

HAHAHA!!! Gross... it does. x)

[U5placers]

I liked, but it's just my opinion... and why is there an audio preview? Fuck audio previews!!!! I hate u!!! fuk u!!!! die u fuk

[Fzzzpopper]

Interesting and well-done, but, forgive me if I seem stupid...what's the point? I'm not sure what this little film is trying to say, if it's trying to say anything at all. When she knit a cat out of the kitten mohair, I thought that was the theme -- trying to create things around her from what she had. But that theory got blown out of the water immediately, so I ask again, what is this about? It was fascinating to watch, but that was it for me...

[KnittingNinny]

The point if you listen to the words of the song is all she did all day was sit and sew. That's it. Fun to watch, I enjoyed it.
