Came across your videos while looking for INTP vids (also happens to be my type--I don't seem to find many of "us" in real life though) and ended up watching your music vids which are absolutely lovely. Keep up the great work!!!
Of course, what you share with us is much more than beauty, intelligence, talent, and skills. What is conveyed, and what may be even more significant, is the intangible and ineffable qualities of your personhood; your heart, your spirit, your vulnerability, your effort, your search, and your triumphs. Perhaps it is these spiritual qualities we see beyond and through your expressivity that impresses us the most and has the most profound influence on our souls. May you reap the benefit as well!
This song and video is amazing! I love the voice and harmonies. I am envious. It's not easy to create something like that and make it sound so good. I guess you are spending a lot of time with your Pro Tools SE? And you are using your webcam (instead of HD cam) in order to keep your audio synced with the video? If you keep this up, you will be selling your songs on iTunes, etc. Your skills have improved so much. Thanks for sharing your beauty, intelligence, and talent with us!
The main problem that I found with a conflict of ideas is getting the other to listen and wantint to listen to them. It's just frustration when everyone speaks and no one listens. Or not listen to the whole. That is one reason I like YouTube, you get to say your stuff uninterupted, but still ppl comment without even watching the whole video. A mind has to be willing and ready to receive things contrary to what it insists is it's version of reality. Nice work btw.
You've done it again! Your voice, plus the music creates a kind of ethereal experience. I think I would tend to do something serious with a talent like that.
Also, it's kind of funny with some of the comments. Some want you smile more, some not at all. I say, advice is worth every penny you pay for it! lol
The only element of the song that might not fit is the drawbar organ. Harmonies are very rich. I think you would do well with instrumental pieces for a film score.
that was like.. on a whole different level . even if it's not so much my cup of tea in terms of music style i can still tell it's a great piece! well done.
Any chance we can get lyrics? :P You are so amazing! It will be great to say we knew you when you were just a youtube musician when you go big. Seriously, this song is absolutely amazing. Thanks for making my day a little better. :D
Got a nice Kate Bush vibe from that. Great song and wonderful vocals. My one complaint would be the drums, I don't think they quite fit. I'd go for something deeper with a little more bass.
@AmauryPenseur Let me guess, you think women who wear short skirts alone at night deserve to be assaulted. I am wearing part of my Halloween costume on Halloween, and nothing is that provocative. You seem to be the only creep around here.
Girls who wear short skirts actually increase their chance to be assaulted (especially at night :p), but deserving is something totally different. Deservingness is made by a group of people, most groups in the world and the general thought about this in Western society is that a girl never deserves to get assaulted, no matter what.
@AmauryPenseur I do not judge myself by my attractiveness, accolades, or even intelligence. Those are common. I care about my integrity and honesty. I don't think you have a good grasp of what it means to be intelligent, because it is about openness, not "winning." Btw, they are spelled "narcissistic" and "unintentional." Good thing we're not competing for best grammar.
@existentialistcat "I do not judge myself by my...intelligence." "I care about my integrity and honesty" "I don't think you have a good grasp on what it means to be intelligent, because it is about openness" If you aren't judging yourself by your intelligence and you say intelligence is about openness, wouldn't that mean you are not judging yourself by your capacity to be open? I sincerely intend no hostility with these questions. No endorsement of the previous commenter.
@EpistemicDuty It is a bit of word play, isn't it? If she has not done it, she would have to define these words. For instance, intelligence could mean 'cleverness,' which is so often distinguished from other mind qualities. Good question though. I immensely enjoy comments of that sort.
@poetaanonymous A dishonest person isn't open-minded, so if a person isn't judging themselves by openness that would mean it would be irrelevant as to how closed they are which conflicts I think with valuing honesty. They aren't willing to question what they hold. I hope my question didn't come off as accusatory. Also a conflict of ideas can entail growth which means that it is required to try to "win" to promote questioning in another to determine if one is paying lip service to openness.
@EpistemicDuty Unfortunately sometimes a negative reaction to promoting a conflict of ideas could result in one being frustrated with the other person where it can become more personal at times and the original goal is lost site of. This happens all the time on the internet.
@EpistemicDuty Absolutely. I used to go on the philosophy forums (myspace) and it became so regular that I considered that I had 'won,' when my opponent broke into a rash of vindictive profanity. I wonder whether any honest person can refute the thrill of victory. A few saints, perhaps? Also, I think there was neither in your tone nor content anything accusatory.
@poetaanonymous I think that it is extremely important for everyone to acknowledge they have a tendency to succumb to the thrill of victory. And everyone can get uncomfortable when new data challenges them.
@existentialistcat If I understand you correctly, then you are mainly concerned for the expansion of your conscious awareness. I wish I could find the comment on 'winning.' Has it been deleted?
It would go along nice with a video montage of you outdoors in nature, etc. I used two browser windows, played your song along with this video's sound off
watch?v=Y0YoE7bPKhI
so they were in sync... it really seemed to match LOL
I always prefer original songs instead of covers, and now that your musical production has such good quality, why don´t you redo some of your old songs with your new equipment? And if it is not asking too much, could you put your videos in HD?
If you ever changed your mind and realized you weren't an existentialist anymore, would you have to abandon the channel, or have persistent caveats, like, "I am no longer an existentialist, but seeing as this channel already has momentum I will still be maintaining it. Sorry for any confusion."?
Sorry, I sometimes get distracted with hypothetical contingency planning. Nice song, and great voice, as usual. :)
