SOPOR AETERNUS: "The Goat" (music video)

[lostfloor]

this is the most incredible sound ever made, man wooohaa wtf

[rocku23]

I really find this song very interesting accounting for its lyrics and its harmony. Still, I believe there are simbolisms I clearly don't understand. Could anyone explain me what is the meaning of the goat? Do I have to pay attention to the lyrics in a literal sense or is there any further message underlying?

[skalexander]

I've never liked this sort of music until I walked into a friends room and heard this song playing. 2 weeks later and I still can't stop listening.

[2white2nerdii]

This song makes me uncomfortable and squirmy each time I listen to it.. and yet I don't stop.

[MultiDarkGoddess]

@2white2nerdii I can relate.

[Threetails]

@2white2nerdii I think it's meant to be uncomfortable. It's all about facing the dark things that make us the most uncomfortable and allowing them meaning in order to reach everything we are meant to be.

[MANSONVAMPIRO]

Is beautiful

[SorgHills]

True Art Essence! #FTW

[IceSuperChic]

when Lady Gaga appear in a wheel.chair this week, I inmediately suspect that Gaga has been always copyng her in some aspects of her performance.

[6Damien6Manson6]

My most favorite song! And the video is so simple, yet disturbingly beautiful. No cheap tricks, or any cheesy clishé-s... By the way, can anyone tell me what Varney wears on his/her hands? I just cant figure it out since months.

[waxarlequin]

@6Damien6Manson6 Nothing. It's her nails, believe it or not.

[6Damien6Manson6]

@waxarlequin I know that...I was talking about the torn leather glove.

[taralej2]

probably the most horrible, terrifing piece of music I've ever heard.... Love it!

[malicecreep]

This really reminds me one of the nightmares i had couple years ago. Actually i've seen it couple times

[xbigi123x]

This is fire

[Kapuzina1337]

i want so him/her laughing, just for disillusion :D xDDDD

not my kind of music, but nice as art!

[ColdMurderousVoice]

i don't like this. i love this. need such a button on youtube

[MadMike8989]

I don't know what you people are all arguing about. All I know is that this is one creepy, sick, haunting music video. That's why its awesome. It's pretty hard to film and record something creepy and dark without it seeming cheesy or over the top. This was pulled of perfectly.

[oscarvarney]

no es posible que este siendo uno de los mejores trabajs de sopor aeternus tenga menos visitas que in der palastra que no es el peor pero si el mas comercial, no cabe duda que la gente solo escucha a lo pendejo!

[Savia666]

love it

so true..

she is so talented

she is my heroe ( after emilie autumn (but you can not compare them))

love it <3

[Sergio0s]

is this based off the winter wind etude by chopin?

[WinterTroll]

@Sergio0s It's pretty much Chopin's Funeral March

[diemazzmusic]

Beautiful imagery, haunting song.

[avisualfeel]

I feel the pantomime of your painting silents (films) & I too stand at the larynx of that door...holy hell of one slip, deeper than blackest hole...cavern of your soul... the house seems empty, but I know it's not because u are there...& your ecclesiastic (ekklesia) sounds of holiest shrines filter in...

[Lukrecia888Crowley]

i love marilyn manson in the old days but this... this is something else... truly amazing.. Anna kept pushing it to a level of gruesome morbid beautiful art Manson never did...

[omes7922]

@Lukrecia888Crowley Marilyn Manson was nothing compared to this

he was just asking for attention but mother ruined him lol

[MsSmilyClown]

@omes7922 well if marilyn mansion is nothing but a scenekid, then hes the most talentfull and best scenekid i've ever known. I love both Sopor and Marilyn, but on the papers marilyn have archived more than sopor. But i prefer sopor, but marilyn is just not talentless like tokio hotel or paris hilton.

[Runnersfree]

@MsSmilyClown Look though i like your comment it was un-needed to call Anna nothing because she has not TO YOU achieved much Manson is mainstream artist where as Anna is a shadow in the world that has achieved much in her time of life on this earth so please do not insult her and no one cares who chieved more

[MsSmilyClown]

@Runnersfree well have you read my comment? I did say i love Sopor like i love Marilyn. It is a fact that Marilyn manson have archived more than Sopor, cuz he have been playing at ozzfest, big day out and download festival, while Sopor neither play concerts or getting interviewed. But sopor have one strengh Manson dont have. Sopor haven't done anything to get the music out to the audience, yet many people know who she is. I love hers deep and emotional music, while i love manson to the partys :)

[MsSmilyClown]

@MsSmilyClown and im gonna quote myself "But i prefer sopor, but marilyn is just not talentless like tokio hotel or paris hilton". What i mean with that, i love sopor more than Marilyn manson, and you just said i hate sopor. What whould i suppose to do here? I listen to the music as i write, and i love it. By the way, The goat is the best song made by her, beside In der palästra and No one is there :) Dark, mystical and emotional :)

[MsSmilyClown]

@MsSmilyClown and im gonna quote myself "But i prefer sopor, but marilyn is just not talentless like tokio hotel or paris hilton". What i mean with that, i love sopor more than Marilyn manson, and you just said i hate sopor. What whould i suppose to do here? I listen to the music as i write, and i love it. By the way, The goat is the best song made by her, beside In der palästra and No one is there :) And trust me. if you archived performing in front of 80.000 people, you have gone far.

[MsSmilyClown]

[ignoranttwat]

@MsSmilyClown

People define achievement differently. I would say that Marilyn manson has achieved more commercially, but Anna has achieved more artistically.

[MsSmilyClown]

@ignoranttwat thats true :) Sopors music is deeper and more toughing than Mansons music. But Manson archived more commercially because he play concerts and have that oppitunity to tell something about the songs during the interviews and concert where Sopor dont have the chance, and more people therefore understands the music and why they wrote them :) But because of a tight tour, it will change you because you work all the time, and you always meet new people, so its gonna tear you up in the end

[MANSONVAMPIRO]

@MsSmilyClown Sopor and Manson, both are deeper, just that Manson wanted to tell his thoughts to the world in mass, Sopors tell her thoughts but she (he) does not show her (his) face, both are genius

[CyanideFilledCandy]

@omes7922 I agree that Manson was just out for attention. I still like his music though.

(Though, it's NOTHING compared Sopor Aeturnus! <3)

[varanasidark]

Great Great Great!!!!!!!

[TheImaginarylullaby]

Otra banducha del montón para niños dark.

[cibermesias]

@TheImaginarylullaby Nadie se mete con tu reggaeton

[redpirate37]

Funny ;)

[sirika616]

i think of nosferatu when i see this. anna-varney is totally new to me, i am still exploring her world, its like nothing else...

[necronominate]

this song is killer FFF

[m1grand10]

this is a fuking joke right

[bkattcus]

why?

[Subv3rSaL]

@m1grand10 you're a fucking joke right ?

[necronominate]

@m1grand10 nein..do your homework

[mrk018]

great amazing song ...

creep me out a little but i love it !

[shidou7hikaru]

This is beautiful... so much symbolism... Genius!

[pesticidepopsicle]

um...wtf just happened? its this kind of shit that makes people ever want to have kids. a bag of dying cats sounds better than this crap.

[Tinderel]

@pesticidepopsicle I find it hard to take you seriously, and that you're not just trying to offend, when I see you've commented at at least one other Sopor Aeternus videos at around the same time as this one, saying wtf. Someone forcing you to listen to several Sopor Aeternus songs or what?

[cartmandakurai]

@pesticidepopsicle

This is based on a Chopin's song - you must be an idiot for saying that Chopin did crap. Please, go learn what isreally music.

[ANDRYU123456]

REWELACJA

[shidou7hikaru]

@m1grand10 - Not so! It's all symbolism. She is referring to Saturn - Capricorn... AVC has a tendency to refer back to mythology and astrology in her music... And somehow has a fascination with Saturn... it shows up a lot in her work!

[ravennaix]

This is one of my favourite Sopor Aeternus songs. So despairingly beautiful.

[underthemoonofsorrow]

im speechless this song is sooo fucking amazing it has such a gloomy atmosphere

ALL HAIL SOPOR AETERNUS!!!!!

[Noisetophobia]

This "man" is crazy!!! SCRAGSHOT!!!! :)

[vdvloversister]

so? are you sane? we're all crazy to some extent, but very few of us actually turn it into art.

[deosvx]

Most famous artists were insane or peculiar in some manor.

[mirijam27]

meeero22, and who are you to judge whether it's a good poem or not?...

[meeero22]

it is not a music, only a poem. and a not good one...

[afireintheforest1]

@meeero22 You don't know much about art then.

[CyanideFilledCandy]

I love this song and Sopor Aeternus so much!

It's so beautiful and gloomy and thematic.

[animusb]

é a primeira vez que ouço A Marcha Funebre de Chopin ser usada de uma forma tão magnifica. A letra é digna do som, tem a mesma aura.

Absulutamente Magnifico.

[MondDesTodes]

very psycho stuff,but thery thery good

[livet0die13]

He leído que Anna dijo que la música la hacia solo por/para ella....

Entonces.. porque se molesta en hacerse conocer?

[TheAnnavarney666]

Me gusta mucho esa canción hay ANNA gracias por todo el ARTE que haces ......Eres la DIOSA indiscutible....

[patyagatha]

HAOIEHAOIHEAOIHEOAHEI - que POHA é essa ? G_G

[chabachaser]

was für ein gejammer

[NiKOb13]

Mit 15 will hier jemand was von Kunst & der Welt erzählen. Da weiß ja jemand ganz genau bescheid.

Änderung folgt schon nicht durch Wut & Aggression. Dein Kommentar ist sowieso reiner Nonsens und Du nutzt hier nur die Anonymität des Internets. Lebe weiter im Konsum der Grauen, bis Du, vllt. in ein paar Jahren, mal einen gescheiten Kommentar abgeben kannst. Ich denke mal, dass Ich hier nicht nur für mich spreche.

[maggi80riot]

HAT NIX MIT DEM ALTER ZU TUN!

[Mechanthrope]

What does it matter to you how other people dress? Or how they feel, or choose to express their emotions? Sopor Aeternus makes gorgeous music, all by HERself, and I doubt that you're capable of anything quite so amazing. Quit flaming someone just because they don't follow your fashion sense, or your personal choice in aesthetics. Bitch.

[shanefairhead]

There is really no point in lecturing to these people, they never learn.

:D

I love the added Bitch at the end :D

[lordofscions]

a beautiful human being........

[NiKOb13]

... Ich war da ; )

[sakurakusanagii]

sopor! anna!

musa... angel.. todo!

su musica es bella al igual que ella.. definitivamente su musica rifa!

arriba el goth music XD

[kraltran]

hail satan

[gorgonjola]

[kraltran]

easy for you to say

[Gorthornofficial]

shes such a legend!

[PomylunaLovegood]

Anna <3

[AshlynWearsPradaxx]

o.e

[digiru07]

i love anna ...its perfect its amazing..! i love you anna!!

[gothhelpus]

Real sadness. Not like FUCKING emos.

[0darkTunes]

goth legend

[paulinovm]

solo puedo decir que la depresion es un personaje de nuestas vidas, la soledad es solo un vago sueño de ser feiz. pvm

[hackerdiva]

para muchos no es importante la depresion en su vidas...pero solo anna ha pasado mas de 20 años en ella, y realmente hay lados inimaginables que podemos descubrir al estar tristes, llegamos a conocernos y entender al resto de personas, la musica de SOPOR es unica digan lo q digan...anna esta creando su imperio.

[elsalvatge]

Esto ni es musica ni es nada. Menuda chapuza fallida de intento de musica gotica.

[gothhelpus]

Imbecil

[LiLW0LF]

Love Our AVC !!!!!!!!

[ZORLAS]

QUIEN NO PODRIA AMAR A SOPOR AETERNUS???

Es lo mejor de la musica gotica...

She is beatiful and her music too...Anna Varney is our Goddess!!!

[TheTinkle]

it's like a dark cloud darkening the sky,

moving by at night,

forecasting shadows of a thunderstorm.

[eMiLyRoD535]

only she can make this unique art, just this song sounds wonderfull, i like her moves, luv AVC

[treckrunner14]

What is so geinus about this....? Can someone explain? Whats different about sopor then say mozart or any of the other "great" composers? This SEEMS to talk about depression, hopelessness. Why is that so awesome?

[2620719]

Because sadness and depression is also a part of our life.

[hadialhendi]

@2620719

ys but you should n't live your live in sadness and suffering you should always look to the bright side of life

[CorporalTyWeber]

@hadialhendi How will anyone know what the bright side of life is if they've had no sorrow or suffering to compare it to?

[nukleopatra88]

For some the exploration of depression and sadness, especially when expressed through art like this, is integral, and so is awesome to them.

[kingdarkness6689]

what is awesome???

com`on

isn`t awesome that somebody is taking the beauty of sadness and depression?

somebody needs an art-course asap!!!

[treckrunner14]

But.... What is beautiful about sadness and depression? I see the sex slaver rings, those girls are depressed and suicidle. How is this beautiful? Them "enduring" the pain and depression might be beautiful in my site, there long-suffering. But not the fact that they ARE suffering. You know what I mean?

[kingdarkness6689]

i know what u mean..but also u have to know that ppl have diferent views of life and many other subjects..

nobody likes sadness or depression..

but i just like the way this man/woman makes those things in art!

but yeah i`m also agree with u!

[whiteasaghost]

Anna never ceases to amaze me!

This is the ultimate goth artist.

[BorgGiXtah]

hail the goddess

wonderfull sounds

[shakasempai]

Una cancion con una composicion he interpretacion unica, en realidad Anna-varney es unica en su arte.

[LadyKrypta]

there is no better musician than anna on this planet! nobody could ever be so good as her! nobody has such a... great...such a wonderful voice!!! I can't really discribe it, she's just a beauty...THE beauty!!! long live anna varney!!!

[7Row7enn7]
