Nerina Pallot - Alien

[TheLegenDacster]

Like Canadian, like Canadian, like Canaaaaadians! That first album had some crackin' songs on it, Patience and If I know You. Gifted musician and writer.

[Patreides9]

I think, the only human in the world who loathes this song is the current Nerina Pallot herself. :) She is ashamed of the little cacophony of this music now, but I think she is wrong, I prefer this song to the light crappy poppy mainstream pop songs...

[Patreides9]

OK, I've just learned she is not the only one who loathes this song now. But all the same, they are all wrong and I'm right. And that's for sure. :)

[JulianePuke]

Does anybody know what cd is this song from?

[Patreides9]

@JulianePuke

Nerina's first Album: Dear Frustrated Superstar (2001, Polydor)

Nerina's second single: Alien (2001, Polydor)

This is the single version, I think.

[PatrickSw08]

I think she looks like Nerina Pallot...

There, I said it.

[rodster6]

Looks like Kate from Lost.

[Dedeurklink]

far better than katy perry's ET

[giantguy1321]

She looks a lot like Amy Acker from Angel!!!!

[PaRoDyViSiOn]

Beautiful video. For some reason, this song reminds me of comic conventions (& not because of the title, mind you). :)The song & video are well paced & put together. They tell the story simply and effectively. The camera shots make it appear like a Hollywood film. The post production color grading and camera speed are also very nice. Simple & effective. Great.

[egog0]

Considering she just woke up, this is good.

[supremeteamone]

sounds like beck your BITER!

[missfeeful]

She looks like Jennifer Love Hewitt!

[KnottyDesignsNY]

@missfeeful I think she looks more like Evangeline Lilly here

[scrapette]

@missfeeful I also think she looks like Natalie Imbruglia :P

[Dragonheardt]

@missfeeful I thought she looked like Nerina Pallot, but I may be mistaken.

[MeJonyful]

She's so awesome

[rimagster]

She reminds me of Alanis Morissette!

[wera0085]

Please tell me someone was this song in any movie? because I heard it as a soundtrack, but don' t remember where :(

[21capsules]

@wera0085 This song was played in a film called Crush, which was released about ten years ago,,great film, i love it!

[ClaireysWorld]

For some reason, this song makes me feel really happy :)

[IamMagPie]

Holy moly, she is incredible beautiful. And her music is way cool.

[EsMusician]

How old she here? About 26? If the album came out in '01... Awesome song, I remember back when it came out then, what with the weird title and video. :) Love it.

[thesteve120]

she's 35 now, so about 26/27

[AiyaGC]

She is almost a spitting image of Jennifer Love Hewitt! I LOVE HER AND HER MUSIC. she is amazing

[thesteve120]

how young she is in this vid, early lady chatterbox got to love it

[newbie7765]

God! doesn't she remind you of natalie imbruglia?

She's good in her own right though.

[thesethreekings]

Dark hair and pretty. That's about it.

[Dedeurklink]

wtf? you don't her music is good? sexist

[thesethreekings]

I was responding to somebody else comoparing her to natalie imbrulia.

[DerGeist617]

I thought of Alanis Morissette, but yeah, still good.

[VaninaIrons]

she looks a little bit like evangeline Lily

[daniel1482006]

she does. And she is also very fit.

Dont play frizby on a block roof with a dog.

I found out the hard way.

[alliecat1818]

so true!!

[LaraRoseCostello]

i love this song, she is sooo beautifull

[steepaaan]

i dont get this vid y is she in so much of a rush to get tot he top wen she just chucks it off the side again n does she wake up on a car? gd song though...

[EMirish13]

cuz she's not really an alien, she was just playing with her dog and fell off somehow =D she was rushing to make sure her dog was ok

[kakaduty]

It`s a funny vid!!! Hihihii

And it is a Staff. ;-)

Reminds me at my dog "Arco", 20 years ago. But he was black with rare with...

[jimmy747]

Love Nerina!

I think the dog in the video is a Staffodshire Bull Terrier.

[Deviltion]

I love this song! It's simply the best!

[cataphractus]

She looks like Evangeline Lily here ... Good song, lively and melodious :)

[moonastra]

I agree, she does!

[benwood1066]

What type of dog is that on the roof

[Dalimonade]

awesome!

[ZZAKON]

Very sexy girl...

[mackfeck]

i would marry nerina in a second- astonishing voice and body and especially her beautiful face ..

i adore you as everyone should

[bloodyhell0]

So...she fell from the roof trying to catch the frisbee landing on the plumber's car. And I thought she was an alien....LOL

[dinmammaosv]

she looks ALOT like Kate in Lost in this video!!

[nadineda]

i was thinking the exact same thing!! :D

[segamai]

third... :)

[KayumiNanahara043]

I love repeating 0:38 - 0:56 :D

[Stokiekris]

She's done some cracking songs.

A damn fine pretty lady as well.

[DjimiPaij]

In real life she's quite petite, but looks really precious.

[Stokiekris]

Sounds perfect!

[EsMusician]

Yeah, I met her recently and she wasn't THAT tall, but in this video she looks about 6ft... confusing...

[racistbadger]

this chick needs a life, her music is so shit.

its like indian food

[kpstartrak]

lol

[GracieLue2]

you're a tard, she makes beautiful music

[EogdaMog]

@GracieLue2 not a tard more of a turd :L

[zeus6]

Easy, just don't listen or comment then. What's your problem?!?

I think it's quite sad to set up an account just to tick other ppl of with comments just as useless as the one who posts it.

[MartiniTali]

im guessing you're a racist badger... and er, that's supposed to be something fantastic? Like indian food?

[biggestbooshfaneva]

how many albums has she actually got? shes amazingg!

[marzipan08]

She has released two albums so far, Dear Frustrated Superstar (which features this single Alien) and then the superior Fires. She is working on a third album at the moment but a release date hasn't been set.

[batmanofni]

She is so hor, and I love this song.

[dorkingdave]

a plumbers van, have you noticed how plumbers are not quite all there especially the corgi ones, i wouldnt mind £60 per hour but would rather sell my soul than be one!!

[ilaughtoyou]

haha yeah i was expecting her to be in a little pink monster constume.. do you think thats an indication that i'm not very sophisticated?

lol...

[Andzen]

I thought an alien was going to burst out of her stomach at first. Too many sci fi movies I guess

[izknowzy]

THE DOG!!!

lol

[ilaughtoyou]

this is on her first album yes? the pink one? yes? awsome. love it. :)

[Nigrescent]

Dear Frustrated Superstar

[Daffadillies]

funny i thought she looked like jennifer love hewitt in parts of 'everybody's gone to war'. she's a shapeshifter! lol. great songs tho.

[zilali]

I wouldn't say no

[violetthebat666]

She really looks like Kate from Lost at the beginning!:O This song is cool, she can sing really well.

[DaMunchkinhead]

Heh, that's what I thought but also Amy Ackles aka Fred from "Angel", at least sidesways at the beginning =P!

[violetthebat666]

lol :P

[catharinaryberg]

Yeah your right.. she looks like her just slightly...!! heh it's the teth and the smile i think it's the same

[mackfeck]

i can't believe it. i thought exactly the same, both look very different but instantly remind me of one another. i pretty much watched angel 'cause i loved fred. it's amy acker by the way, though ackles is funny

[DaMunchkinhead]

ok, Amy Acker LoL.. I liked Fred too but I was more of a Cordy fan so.. =D!

[Wizzardette]

just to add...i really agree! she looks so cute and fred like in this video! at the start anyway lol =)

[hyu120]

Do you know where i can get the lyrics for this song?( for free)

[andydogg001]

[hyu120]

give me ur msn (if you have msn) and you can send it to me that way. yours sincerily hyu120

[andydogg001]

ok, come on everyone, now get ready to sing along.... brother won't you look at the sky / there's something burning so bright / and what it is i can't see / but i think it's coming at me / did you get here in a rocket / and did you journey through space / did your mother never scold you / oh, when she looked at your face / do you know where you come from / because you look out of place / in a town where only the rain comes down / you fell down to earth / like an alien (x3)

[hyu120]

Thanx loads xxx

[andydogg001]

and part two... funny 'cause i feel quite at ease / i think you come here in peace / we're universal in smiles / you know they see it for miles / (repeat chorus) ...and enjoy!

[andydogg001]

what a tune! Nerina is the absolute bizness. do yerself a favour and check out as much of her music as you can get yer hands on: the "dear frustrated superstar" and "fires" albums and the steely dan cover "Peg", which i found on a compilation called "Magic". Get it on!!!

[mackfeck]

nerina's on a top dance tune too. it's called 'Truly' featuring nerina pallot, by Delerium. it's on their best of album, or the original album chimera. go to 'skreemr' and download for free, but can't get cigarette though. she is no.1 singer ever, i love her.

[GalineEH]

love her!

[shandy711]

Never knew of Dear Frustrated Superstar before today, just Fires (which is legend) but I like the songs!!!

[mackfeck]

love it. nerina is a godess

[mataualshas]

Odd video.

[contructiveslaughter]

"I also think that Dear Frustrated Superstar is way better than Fires, but that's just my opinion." I totally agree!

[contructiveslaughter]

i've spoke to her she's such a lovely lady...she invited me to sheffield for one of her gigs but i couldn't get to sheffield...so gutted!

[Pallot]

This vid has a much more of a professional feeling over it than the new ones, lol. I also think that Dear Frustrated Superstar is way better than Fires, but that's just my opinion.

[mackfeck]

dear frustrated has a couple of stinkers on it, whilst being my 2nd favourite album ever, i'm afraid fires takes the the crown. just depends which you heard first, i was a late comer. from a nerinadreamer

[thefabbee2]

Hav both her albums .. they r both realli gd!

[sylsisa]

One of my favourite songs!

[erzetic]

The song is cute, but the video rocks! She has wonderful videos, also Sophia and Everybody's Gone to War are excellent.

[JustPlainPalms92]

cool song, but how come id never heard of it at the time?

[Eaglesky1]

Cool Beat/Great Song..

[sapphiric]

[aroc111]
