Emiliana Torrini - The Boy Who Giggled So Sweet

[Analfeber]

Going through a playlist that my love has made, she's not talked to me for 167 days now, and since she doesn't say anything then I don't know what is wrong. If it wasn't such long distance between us... And this song just makes me even sadder...

[bananamonkey800]

This needs to be on iTunes.

[knightsintodreams]

@bananamonkey800 request it!! i ahve. i've requested songs before and they do put them up

[bananamonkey800]

@knightsintodreams Thanks! I didn't know you could do that, but I just sent in a request so maybe we can hope to see it up soon :)

[robfayder]

This song really touched my heart! I don't know what the true meaning behind the lyrics meaning are, but it made me think of my 9 month old son!! and how grateful i am

[MariaAmsterdan]

it will be the best lullaby for my future babies ;) Really sweet!

[kiddDEVY]

this is one of the most saddest and beautiful song i've ever heard. and i can't stop listening to it.

"My baby, my beauty, my boy, my baby, What is your favourite song of all songs? Sweet baby, my love, my darling, my baby. Forever your rosie little lips won't turn blue."

[tbhess]

 What a beautiful song!

[GwaGrone]

Touché! Love you!

[Starkardur]

where is the original video?

[vespertine1982]

Beautiful !!!!!

[quinn7771000]

Sitting here listening to this song and just thinking that she put every word in the rite spot to capture the emotion of being poor or without

[xXSkiesTheLimitXx]

i thought this songs was about SIDS, sudden infant death syndrome? i might be wrong though.

[chneick44]

[MixedUpCc]

lovely song:D

[willamcu]

Thanks so much for posting this! I've tried to get hold of her songs from Merman and Crouçie D'où Là with little success beyond some short 1 minute samples. They are on Ebay sometimes, but not yet at a price I can afford.

[heramatt277]

no this song isn´t about abortion, its about poverty, homeless and the coldness and how she only wants to end her sons suffering becaus he is freezing ( dying becaus of the cold) i was uppsest with this song so i researched

[SacuCaris]

That song is so beautyful, so sad, so scary....

[nourbizness]

What horrible tragedy befell this beautiful angel???? She is truley amazing...so in love with this artist.....

[AnnaAutocollant]

My Nma is Anna :)

[torrrrxe8145]

The songs about SIDS. Such a sad ,beautiful song.

[XxxAly95318xxX]

I can't stop hitting replay T~T

[AlexMitan]

I'm not very fond of slideshows, but this is perfect. Just perfect, thanks PH.

[AlexMitan]

You can't really go back to the commercial american pop now can you?

[ketamina]

it's that song about abortion?

[yaksvk]

@ketamina: more like "Blue baby syndrome"

[vide0gameCaster]

@ketamina I think it's just about the love of a Mother that port to he's child. As the love of Mother is so Powerfull and Beautifull. Damn, MOMY I LOVE YOU!

[IceTeaEdwin]

Tee-hee

[habba24]

Of course she sings well, she's Icelandic!

[Lendar66]

@habba24 In fact she's half Italian, half Icelandic.

[EyeHateYoo]

Where can I download this song? It's SO beautiful.

[norgeskuespiller19]

We used to have this for preshow music for Mr. Marmalade, this song intrigued me and I used to hum this backstage. Such a haunting and amazing song.

[Vevilicious]

this is one of the impressiv and heart touching videos I ever saw in my life. It's like god's breath. The singer, the song, the video - perfect symbiosis of soul and genius. I found a jewel today. Thank you just THANK YOU !

[llleeevvviiikkkeee]

It's a beautiful song, but my favourite is "If you go away"

[RileyGuilbeau]

Such a sad song.

[afamari]

wow... I have shivers, great!

[lori3966]

You are one of the sweetest singers in the universe.

[carlosadrianguzmank]

[DIEGOS7901]

I'm falled in love with this beautiful and delight women .. :)

[divineobliss]

the best of songs

[TheMarialuna]

What a beautiful video!!

[mickram23]

I always thought this was about a young boy drowning in icy water and his mother praying she would be in time to save him, but knowing deep down that she wouldn't be.

[Zorbeczka]

@mickram23  I agree with you, it's not a men-woman-love-song, but mother-chold-love-song. It's really beautiful...

[pablorubiolugo]

Im her fan. Her music is so beautiful, deep and bizarre

[dearmalika]

What a great voice! I love her songs!

[hr412]

This song is kinda creepy sounding. But it's pretty :)

[noekiejz]

PetroleumHead, i really think that this video is a great one, well done! And i love the song so much. Thanks for making it. =]

[1hinafan]

this song made me cry when i first heard it. its so sad and heart breaking but at the same time, the most beautiful song ive ever heard. it kinda sounds like her voice is weeping... not literally. i just dont know how to explain it. its so perfect, its impossible to explain why.

[mythirdchannel]

Hey PetroleumHead, wicked editing, it has this really haunting quality, good job :)

[pablorubiolugo]

This is what I call a very beautiful meaterpiece.. . . . .

In Mexico, the country where I´m from,

she is not popular, but I am in love with

her music, because here there is a lot

of shit music. . . . .

Love your spirit 4ever, Emiliana. . . . .

music

[deterrese]

@pablorubiolugo im from mexico too, and i adore this song

[PayitoGuapa]

[PayitoGuapa]

@pablorubiolugo bravo por emiliana !!!!

[1994LoverMusic]

i love it!!

[katalintamas]

thx for the video, I think it's absolutely lovely, you are great!

[shahilagh]

it s just so painful. lots of pain.

[inkeriananas]

I love her smile. She's amazing! :)

[TheCheerfullgirl]

i love this song!!

[mephil01]

Hi Petroleumhead!! You made a wonderful video!! Congrats!

[paulamegiera]

hmm, really lovely song, but i dont get for WHO is this song, i mean, boy, but WHAT boy,? her beloved or her baby?? dont get it..

[conorgormally]

A baby i think..

[Delathblue]

@paulamegiera

It would make sense for both her lover and her child. However, the child would not be a baby I think, because of the line 'Take my hand we'll run up that tree'. I didn't think about it being her child before I read your comment though, thank you for the expansion of knowledge.

[Branween]

@Delathblue

I never thought it would be about a love, it always seemed perfectly clear to me (seemed, mind!) that this song is about a little boy. After all, what grown-up man giggles sweetly? And why should you sing lullabies to a grown up man? It wouldn't sound like a very "mature" adult relationship, would it?

[Delathblue]

@Branween

I know men who giggle. Also, when the man you are in love with giggles, fo course it would seem sweet to you, right? If someone you care for is not doing well, I would think you would try to comfort them and cause them to feel restful. By "mature" adult relationship, do you mean one that is always serious and not gentle, caring, and loving?

[MoDoubleU]

this is unique

[articmonkeyslover]

you have a really good taste, congrats.

[Kuka5505]

Amazing I absolutly love it!

[mjryba]

I actually thought that this is the official video, great job! This song is is simly amazing I absolutly love it!

[MissSofa]

u really did a great job on the video!

[rasmussen418]

You did a good job on the video. The timing is flawless. Wow.

[pesonen205]

How beautiful this girl is,how lovely She sings,there is only one Emiliana in this universe.

[Ravenj419]

ELSKA ÞETTA LAG!!!!

[Plempenisser]

svo sorglegt en samt gott!

[praktikantor]

[marcolammers]

lovely mix of clips :)

[myway2719]

beautiful clip beautiful song beautiful voice very thanks emiliana torrini

[111Dagmar888]

ohh! you've remix the clips really good, first i didnt know this was not the real video.

btw, amazing song <3

[therealKINDLE]

PetroleumHead, I wasn't aware of this album.. I thought that A Fisherman's women was her 1st Album?

Thanks 4uploading.

[PetroleumHead]

Her first international album was Love In The Time Of Science in 1999. Merman was only released in Iceland as far as I know.

[pesonen205]

@PetroleumHead They say,I was here one year ago.,again just so beautiful music.i`m an old fool but this .....i think maybe 30 years still......yeps......I love life....please You ,do the same,this is fun,really...

[TinnaGun]

@therealKINDLE. Her first album is Croucie d'oú lá, (cover songs with a twist), then Merman, then Love in..

Before she was a singer in a band named Spoon and the published an album aswell.

[Starkardur]

@therealKINDLE Her first album came out in 1995 or 1994.

[naggi22]

beautiful video, and of course a beautiful song ! great job, takk kærlega :)

[rannur79]

Love her, great singer

[hewb5]

I adore this artist...she's my new favorite female oddity.

[ReasonKilledTheKook2]

God, she is so beautiful and the song makes me cry

[geinarify]

This isn't the original video, that one is quite beautifull and appropriate for the song

[aubrace]

this is a nice song and such. The video wasn't bad, but she was smiling too much. Cool clips, but this is a sad song. She's smiling when she's singing about him dying. What.

[LodemaiT]

Eventhough it's a sad song, I can only think of fairy tails when I hear this song...

[krilabeier]

That totally makes sense. Plus, a lot of fairy tales originally were rather morose. It's only the in the disney generation that they seem to have so many happy endings. So I think this song reminds me even more so of fairy tales.

[Montazystka]

very nice vid!

[DUNIARANDI]

good song, fine voice, poor vid.

[krilabeier]

Well, I'd say that it isn't totally appropriate for this song...But it is a well crafted video that's enjoyable.

[PetroleumHead]

It's just clips of Emiliana. I don't see what else I was supposed to use. But you're more than welcome to make your own.

[krilabeier]

Don't feel bad about it--you did a nice job!

[joseffatrip]

@PetroleumHead Oh wow i thought this was the actual videoclip! very well done!:D

[zimbla101]

@krilabeier i think the video is very well made.. it really suits the song

[stardreamer28]

My name is Anna O.o

But I dearly love this song:)

[krazygothgirl]

the most beautiful song ever...what a lovely voice. when im older im going on Xfactor and this is the song im going to sing. emiliana torrini roks.

[ThePedrolat]

Ist das einen süße Frau !!

[twinklestarM]

so sweet....poignant..her voice is perfect

[sumsemaus]

such a beautiful woman.

[pesonen205]

and such a beautiful voice

[nainsam]

great singer

[Dieeroberung]

sad the song

[pesonen205]

Yes,sad but beautiful

[MademoiselleLaraXoxo]

the clip fits perfekt to the song.

It's really magic .. my fav song and fav video!!

[Suzza99]

This is magical

[FanOfMusicXXXL]

Why is this Song isn't become a singel, it is so wonderful!

Fuck of Jungle Drumm!!

[xchaoticmindx]

LOL!

I agree..

[bebartek]

Because it was released in 1996!!!!!

[xchaoticmindx]

This is beautiful.

[Dave1507]

she´s also from iceland? haven´t known that, thank you, mate..

[TheAmericanMirror]

Up until now my only knowledge of Iceland came through Bjork.  Naturally, I thought everybody in Iceland was crazy.

Now I know there is great beauty and sanity in Iceland. Thank you.

[ausernameee]

You're partly right, she's half italian and so only 50% sane

[DarkSunDaughter]

nothing but thank you

[BohemianConspiracy]

oh... i think that it was ' the Jungle Drum' video! so 'erratum' ... i wrote my previous post with 'Jungle Drum' in mind...

[dirkk66]

i love this song!

[pmnd6877]

OMG!! What a wonderful song....so sweet,so soft...i just fall in love with her voice!!!

[KiRAiSHOME]

I haven't been able to stop listening to this since i first heard it it is so amazing. and the visuals are sooo good.

[schmusigeli]

das lied istschöön

[dirkk66]

WONDERFULL!

[liederfee]

wow

[NNDtheBEST4ever]

awesome.

[Knutschelch09]

It's beautiful. She has got such an amazing voice. *

[akmuso]

wow nice job with this

[Branween]

Wow, this is beautiful... So sad. And she is the one who sang the Gollum song, I did think I had heard that voice before :)

[conniefirechick]

Listened to this song a few times... incredibly sad and haunting.

[humanracin]

I still can't believe this album has not been reissued yet after the success of her last 3 albums!!! I want Merman on cd and not a cdr copy, but remastered!

[TheBogojogo]

Anyone knows where i can find this song...?

[BohemianConspiracy]

ok... she have a secret 3rd battery somewhere in her

[TheHirnu]

niin ihana laulu että itkettää, kaunista :)

[Straylight4299]

Anyone knows where i can buy this song? Amazon, ebay, musicload = No Merman album

[Lezczinsky]

I've got ths song on mp3. Tell me your email, and I can send it to you.

[Straylight4299]

Thanks, but no.

I could ripp that song from youtube myself, but i believe you should support artists by buying their stuff.

And i am wondering how the other songs on that album sound like, so i want the whole Merman album.

[Lezczinsky]

Okay!

[opheliasdream85]

das lied rührt mich zu tränen...

[superchrissi91]

mir gefält jungle drum viel besser. macht wenigstens gute laune

[2222stillchecker2222]

YES THIS SONG IS GOD NOT JUNGLE DRUM

[Janine030693]

i do not really like this song. its boring

[wollfeealex]

I love this song. I´m always listening to it when i´m thinking of my little Amelie.

[LemmiPuh]

great vid!

[TheSharade]

Sad, minimalistic and poetic. Emilia is a great musician.

[floortjecooltje]

have anyone noticed that the baby is dead at the end? so it's a sad song, not a beautiful song..

[unf4682]

Yes...it is sad, but a pretty song none the less.

[softlyautumn]

It is both beautiful and sad, they are not mutually exclusive.

[uoudan]

A sad song can also be beautiful.

wotan

[ZahaDum77]

echt nice song und sie ^^

[FrozenMermaid666]

Yep, this song is indeed beautiful, and so is her voice! :)

[Imalin83]

beatiful song... i listen her very often :)

[smegheads1994]

its such a sweet & gorgeous song

[Nekro2808]

super lied, super text und die stimme passt einfach nur pornoo dazu!

[penisddddd]

i hate her voice!!! "kotz"

[ganjasmoker11]

[BLacKThiNg6x6x6]
