  • Wow, I can't believe my comment has been so uprated. You guys are creepers. And yes, I know they are married. :P

  • bleh stupid boyfriend she got with hies stupid scientology parents, i really hope she divorce that guy and escape from that terrible sekt!!!

  • @Glowskully Wow, what an ignorant person you are. Just because his parents are Scientologists doesn't mean he is. He's said that he's not, and I see no reason not to believe him. The beliefs of the parents =/= the beliefs of the child. My entire family is christian, but I'm an athiest, and most of my friends are in the same situation. Way to blame somebody for the sins of the father. Also, it's spelled "sect".

  • @ForeverMasterless Haha Lol XD

  • Lmao this is the fucking definition of "genius". X-D

  • Neil does a very, very good impression of Dream just by sitting still throughout the whole video.

  • I wonder if they need a cook, a driver, a butler, a toilet cleaner. Because i would kill for that job.

  • i want to be part of their marriage. i just do.

  • Hello Amanda, if you're up for it and Neil doesn't mind. Marry me.

    I can share by the way.

  • MY favorite people, who got married, and made songs like these? It's amazing.

  • Oops, I meant Pink Floyd meets blues. Or is it John Pink Floyd in those chords?

  • I see it's a Kurzweil and not a Kurt Weil in this piece. I love her chords, John Lennon meets blues.

  • Neil, you lucky bastard.

    Or, for the Neil fans,

    Amanda, you lucky bitch.

    XD <3 <3 <3

  • how frightening is this? ugh...

  • @timba11 No matter how cool he is she doesn't need him for that. She's amazing in her own right

  • I love the look of complete and utter love and adoration that Neil gives Amanda. It really does show that true love is alive. :D I LOVE YOU AMANDA PALMER!

  • neil is amazing and so are the dresden dolls

  • I couldn't resist Googling Amanda after this.

  • This is so fricken cute.

  • When you see two legends on the same stage,it becomes worthy of getting up to stand another stupid day on Earth.

  • Also, this is just embarrassingly relatable. :-/

  • "It’s a song I wrote, about what people do late at night after a bad break-up…" - Neil Gaiman

  • BRILLIANT>

    

  • Firstly it would be more funny if Amanda wrote the words and the chords were from Neil.

    Secondly as Gaiman gets older he looks all the most with Morpheus. The next video he will disappear half way.

  • @Mironario I am so happy that I am not the only one who observed how Neil Gaiman is starting to look like Morpheus.

  • Yeah I wasnt haveing much of a connection to the song till the end "You have found some one new. It realy shouldnt matter. I should blow up my computer."

    I did that this time last year and It effected me bad.

  • Oh, it's so beautiful and adorable and true and neil and amanda and oh my god.

  • I'm not sure I could love this any more than I already do.

  • amanda we can make out, my boyfriend said, as long as he can watch XD

  • 10 people don't know how to google someone.

  • My favorite singer and my favorite author. I cannot believe this exists. I want to kidnap them and force them to live together in a gigantic transparent bubble so that I can always watch them and love them and keep them forever. MINE!

  • @meowmeowkazoo You *do* know they got married earlier this year, right? :-)

  • @ciaranrr I knew that Neil Gaiman had gotten married to a woman he calls "Mandy" but I had NO IDEA it was *this* Mandy.

  • @meowmeowkazoo You know that they are doing a west coast tour together, right? I hope you can make it out to one of the shows. Every event will be recorded. Keep an eye out for the CDs and DVDs.

  • @meowmeowkazoo If Amanda thought it'd be funny she could probably convince Neil to do just that.

  • @meowmeowkazoo Well they do live together. So all that we need to do is get them into a gigantic transparent bubble.

  • @meowmeowkazoo Creepy, lovey, but the sentiment is not yours alone. :D

  • @meowmeowkazoo well... they ARE married...... so getting them together for the kidnapping shouldn't be that hard.

  • @meowmeowkazoo They are married, so I'm pretty sure they already live together.

  • @meowmeowkazoo

    they're married to each other, you know

  • Neil and Amanda porn would be him perpetually writing songs for her to sing...

    cute ^_^

  • I don't know why,but this made me cry....not in a sad way,but I just don't know...

  • 10 people have never been googled

  • What is wrong with her eyebrows?

  • @dhardtofind eyebrows? what eyebrows?xD

  • @dhardtofind What is wrong with your sense of style? :O

  • Great song!

  • It is immensely sad to see that, after watching someone so talented passionately share that talent with the world, people are moved to comment mostly about the how the artist pencilled in her eyebrows. Human beings do not deserve this thing called art.

  • This song is so funny and so very very sad at the same time

  • I wish she had drawn her eye brows on propperly... cause she is awesome.

    

  • @sdkflj those are tattoos...

  • @UnanimousCowherd no they're not

  • @JabbaWokina -- argh -- you are correct! I just saw another vid showing her applying her eyebrows and cheek designs.Loved watching that. Actually, I'm glad it isn't a tat, since then her "canvas" is more flexible.

  • @GoldenQuiet It's Melissa Mahoney that gets molested!

  • love the setting as well!

  • I think if ya'll are arguing about social conformities on a video featuring Neil and Amanda, you're overlooking some pretty obvious shit. Good job.

    Meanwhile, back on topic: Ha! Neil is such a creeper. It's hot.

  • absolute cat turds

  • @mypantsRoff Mmmmm cat turds

  • bad

  • Their both Badassness Personified!! after hearing this song and seeing them together my coolness meter just came....

  • lol, no thats not true. i dont know how else to say it but that way. i dont know how to argue you except that off the top of my head i know a handful of people in older woman/younger man relationship. nobody gives two looks about it either. and yeah, a shitload has changed since 1911, get a better catchphrase dude.

  • @tsyrlb Hey, it was YOUR catchphrase I went with, so if you want a better one, come up with it. :-p I know some people in older/younger, too, and not only do they get looks, sometimes there's flak. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt as far as this -- maybe it depends on where you live.

  • I can only hope they will collaborate more in the future.

  • I recorded her singing this a few years ago, on a big weird boat in Bristol. It had amazing sound quality for an antique phone, and I listened to it in the dark all night. The next day some bastard stole it. I mourned that. Or maybe the chav that took it looked through it before he stole it and grew a soul on hearing this?

  • Neil has a great voice!

  • LOL Stocking is funner thanks to Google

  • try and sing grown up words this song is very childish.. you have a great voice

  • Congratulations Amanda and Neil.

  • I don't think of Amanda as dark. I think of her more as just a realist, I guess. That's what's so great about her. She's an extremely talented musician, and she's just so real.

  • what book is that ? big and black and says 'OPERA '

  • Two deliciously dark and brilliant people get together.

    Proof that true love exists. The best fucking proof ever. 

  • "I've read each one!" Cracks me up every time...

  • "I've read each one!" Cracks me up every time.

  • i did it

  • Her eyebrows make my world go around.

    And this combination, these two brilliant people just about make my world explode.

    Happiness is this song.

  • these guys are the next ben folds and nick hornby.

  • Best couple ever.

  • Can I have both of them please? Like right now?

  • The do make a talented couple.

  • she looks like gina gershon

  • Amanda should be mine, MINE! No other man may have her. 'Cept Viggie.

  • I really did not know they were a couple,that is awesome.

  • Dear Amanda,

    I go to see you in November.

    I will molest you.

    Love,

    Emily

  • @GoldenQuiet Molestation =/= a joke. I agree that she's fantastic! But please never to be molesting

  • Hell, I loved the both of them before I knew they were even together. Two of my favourite people :)

  • Neil and Amanda: Officially the greatest celebrity couple ever. They are just fucking adorable. 

  • @reluctantlydancing Tis the truth! They are GODS

  • @xsingingxdreamerx and they live in Boston, that makes the AMERICAN GODS!

  • @drewbowden BOSTONIAN GODS EVEN. 8D yessss.

  • @reluctantlydancing Couple? I thought Neil had a wife and kids. They are good together, though. I'm not sure who to envy more. Heh.

  • @cherrybombchick666 He has an ex-wife and kids. And how he's married to Amanda.

  • @reluctantlydancing After I replied I just looked him up on Wikipedia. Whoa, I've been out of the loop. I've sort of been wondering with how much collaboration they've been doing and all that. . . "Isn't it making Neil's wife maybe a, uh, tad nervous?" HA. Okay. I guess it wouldn't be since she's his wife. Wow.

  • Happy for them; yes but I'd like to see just one bisexual woman choose a woman and give meaning to the word! (0k, bring it on, I'm covering my head and cowering: truly)

  • @breedak You can be a bisexual woman and still marry a man and the word can still be meaningful. After all, it's all about love.

  • @TheQueenOfMediocrity Yes, all about love and the ever contracting gender spectrum of engagement. Smells like 'mean' spirit? Of course. One should never make the personal general. Thanks for your comment and the fact that my head, though bowed, is unbruised :)

  • @breedak Portia de Rossi is bisexual and she married Ellen

  • @frajilhart I wondered about that so I investigated (i.e googled) Portia's bisexuality and found this: "A lot of models call themselves bisexual, so I just hid behind that title for a very long time", Portia de Rossi.

  • @frajilhart Bisexual? "The most important thing for me was to never, ever, ever deny it. But I didn’t really have the courage to talk about it. I was thinking, Well, the people who need to know I’m gay know, and I’m somehow living by example by continuing on with my career and having a full, rich life, and I am incidentally gay, but it’s not a big political platform. I justified it in so many ways. Believe me, I had a very, very long and difficult struggle with my sexuality" Portia de Rossi

  • I'm so so so happy that they're in love :] They're like my two favorite "famous" people.

  • The fact that these two are together is just... It's like the world should implode with awesomeness any second now. :D

  • looks like 3 people hit the dislike button cause they've never been in love :)

  • they are so perfect for eachother!

  • Hi! I just covered this song on my youtube page... Feedback and critique would be very much appreciated! :)

  • @jungrobot Umm... Neil and his wife separated a long time ago and it had nothing to do with Amanda Palmer. He is still very much a part of his children's lives. Apparently you're not much of a fan of the man as much as the work since you don't seem to know shit about him.

  • @35xSeries I personally think it's absurd to really care much about the fellah's personal life...and I bet he might feel the same way. Who cares about the details of his relationship status? His literature is what is significant....everyone go read a book!

  • goddam i love it

  • I dare anyone to find a better suited couple than these two. They make me so happy. =)

  • I was at this show at a table just to the left of the stage. Moby sat behind my brother and I...it was an intimate and AMAZING performance and we got a sneak peek at her book. Good times :-)

  • Excelente.

  • This is such an amazingly powerful yet understated song. As well as a great collaboration between two great artists.

  • u know i sang this whie i was doing homework with my friends house and she called me a stalker!! but i stilll like this song ^-^

  • Damn this is good!

  • I saw this in the related videos box and shouted "WHAT?" so loudly. I thought my interests in Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer were freakishly distant. Man, am I out of the loop.

  • Seeing the way Neil looks at Amanda makes me squeal every time. <3

  • Love this!!

  • She is so beautiful. I adore the facial expressions she pulls when she sings. <3

  • @DamnedMissDisaster they're engaged :D

  • she sounds kinda David Bowie-ie

  • good for neil the man is living the dream

  • Engaged! :)

  • They're currently engaged, as of a few weeks ago. ^.^ They make a lovely contrast and Neal enjoys the fact that he can disappear behind how noticeable she is.

  • Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer?

    No shit?!

  • @archer1949

    googel it ;D

  • i cant believe how well their couple-ness is sitting.

    its so incredibly Good.

    and i always thought it would be Brian.

    but this is unbelievably adorable.

  • I am sooo happy for the two of them! They make a wonderful couple!

  • that was priceless, and amazing. =)

  • I love the way he looks at her. Adorable.

    And this is a legit torch song! Such genius.

  • Congrats, Amanda and Neil!

  • Oh man, that song was entirely too familiar to my once-broken heart.

  • Ah, Neil and Amanda.

    I love that they are in love.

    It makes the world a better place.

  • @steelstrings87 perhaps a little stranger too... which isn't bad of course.

  • @steelstrings87

    yeah - except for the fact that he's fifty and she's hardly thirty five!

  • @MsHypatia1 Why should that matter?

  • @AvadaKedavraBAMUrDed Are you serious? You really don't know why huge age differences should matter in relationships? If that's the case, then any comment on youtube won't enlighten you on the significance.

  • Comment removed

  • @MsHypatia1 Cheer up. I know why huge age differences should matter in relationships. I just think that in this case, it doesn't matter at all. First of all, they're both consenting adults. Secondly, they both have amazing talent and thirdly, as far as we, as fans and voyeurs, can tell, they're both very much in love. Ask either of them if the age difference bothers them. Go on.

  • @MsHypatia1 When you are younger, this is certainly true. Dating someone 25 years older than you when you are 18 is not usually advisable, due mostly to the naivete of the 18 year old. However, as you grow and learn and mature, age differences begin to matter less and less at a rather rapid pace. The typical formula used to determine the youngest a person can date without it being creepy is age divided by 2 plus 7--so in this case, 50 divided by 2 is 25, plus seven is 32.

  • @koriina Unfortunately, that formula breaks down along gender lines. A 38-year old woman dating a 21-year old college guy is 'desperate' or some creepy 'Mrs. Robinson', whereas a 38-year old man dating a 21-year old girl makes him 'studly' and admired. It shouldn't be this way -- at all -- but sadly, it is. :-/

  • @bacchante1

    wtf are you talking about.

    its a win win situation either way. i dont know if you noticed, but in the last 5 years or so, COUGAR/MILF is now "in" and accepted.

    welcome to 2005.

  • @tsyrlb You know exactly WTF I am talking about. Cougars and MILFs work if you're famous, or look like Demi Moore. It doesn't work for the everyday person on the street, Mom-dating-son's-friends. Welcome to 2011, where things haven't changed much since 1911.

  • @koriina And some day I will learn to read and do math better. *L* I was thinking about the 'almost 18 year age difference', not the formula. But it kind of still holds true.

  • @MsHypatia1 It doesn't matter! ... just trolling a little.

    but really. it doesn't matter. :)

  • @steelstrings87 No, it sucks. It means Neil is off the market...for now. :-p

  • When I saw the title of this song I kinda dismissed it. Glad I was wrong.

  • This song hit home for me. I figured people might, but I wasn't entirely sure I wasn't the only one who did that.

  • Oh god I know. xD Now I listen to this song everytime I google someone.

  • love it =D

  • i love them ^_^

  • <3 <3

  • someone should give you a life and an imagination

  • her eyesbrows are melting off.

  • Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave, Neil Gaiman Tom Waits, Lyle Lovett...need I say more?

  • : )!!!

  • well and amanda palmer (she's a pretty f*in swell writer. and i'm a huge leonard cohen fan)

  • I did all that :(

  • I feel ya. :/ Still go through it every once in a while.

  • i love this song with a passion<3

  • neil gaiman freakin rocks!

  • hahaha...neil gaiman drives me nuts.....this is incredibly written...

  • god damn i LOVE Amanda
