  • I love to sing this when particularly drunk yet change the words to "Absinthe in the eeend!"

  • I'd like to think I wouldn't die for you, 'cause that's the fool I am(:

  • 'cause that's the fool I am' : (

  • This song isn't about a relationship for me.

    It's for everyone I've ever known.

  • who are the other girls singing with her?

  • @sillysilentclara396 her background singers are the bloody crumpets

  • @JustAnotherHarryFan I know who her back round singers are but, which bloody crumpet? cause it sounds like only two bloody crumpets are singing with her.

  • @sillysilentclara396 I'm almost positive that it's Aprella. I'm pretty sure she's the only soprano of the crumpets.

  • @DjSpudster thank you :)

  • @DjSpudster I always thought Lady Joo Hee did most of the background singing, but i might be wrong -_-

  • oh i love her, i like this more than let it die, but both are amazing! kinda describes a situation ive been in, i <3 emilie because i can relate to alot of her music (: oh and she needs more guy fans, were allowed to like her aswell! (yes, i am a guy :D)

  • Is it weird of me to consider this my song to "God"? :/ How do the rest of ya'll interpret it?

  • @xXprettyxkittyXx as someone who is a friend,but not a good one nor not one who helps you,just a friend that only is there for things :/

  • Arrrgh what is a fairweather friend?

  • @LoveGaaraVeryMuch It's someone who's only your friend when things are going well.

  • @burningsilence88 Ohh thanks :D

  • @LoveGaaraVeryMuch A fairweather friend is someone who expects you to listen and be a good friend, but when you need a shoulder to lean on, your "friendship" disappears. But, it comes back when they have another problem.

  • only better than 95%, really?

  • isn't that "brandy it is then" also at the start of let it die?

  • @felic70 Yup. ^^ Poor Emilie, having to settle with brandy other than tea...

  • @felic70

    Yes

  • @felic70 yes

  • This song is so fun to play on the guitar!

  • I just removed my fairweather friend from my life and I have to say it feels wonderful :D

  • I have a fairweather friend and I'm...okay with it lol..

  • I love you for posting all those videos :) So I could discover a new wonderful artist :) Thank you very much :)

  • Dont worry EA , we all have that friends, and sadly we'd all die them, but in our case, atleast we have your fantastic music to get us through it

  • Just learned to play this on guitar ^_^

  • @MoggyMegs Wow well done :)

  • Like this if you have your own fairweather friend.

  • I have Fairweather Friend ...:(

  • Emilie trolls and even Emilie defenders against trolls please stop, everyone has their own opinion that doesn't mean you hav to say it, EA produces beautiful music heard by a very few amount of people. If you aren't one of the few stay away from her music cause she and even other artist's hard work sould not be ragged on. Don't pay any mind to them they just want attention

  • Its a sunny day in heaven- like her life is going well so she's waiting for her fairweather friend... get it?

  • Hm, I'd totally go lezzie for Emilie Autumn... She's INSANELY pretty. And a thousand times more talented than 95% of artists these days, mainstream or not.

  • You know, her going mainstream would not immediately make her a horrible artist. Stop acting like this is about anything other than you feeling special because you like a non-well-known artist. Get over yourselves and learn that good music is good music, mainstream or otherwise.

  • What is it with these elitist attitudes? I find it so silly when I hear versions of:

    "I heard her first, so you can't be a real fan!" or

    .

    "I know more of her songs, so I AM the real plague rat!" or

    .

    "She's too good to be mainstream!"

    .

    Wow, just get off your high horse. She's a great artist. No one cares how long anyone has listened to her. And being mainstream does not make an artist awful. If you don't want her to hear her on the radio, don't request her.

  • @rsgirl10 Emilie's Music is very unique and when "normal" radio people listen to her music they think she's some type of emo chick, the only song that they would probably accept would be How strange, but it doesn't capture the main voice of EA,They couldn't really put her on a certain genre station 'cus EA has her own genre, I would love to hear her on the radio but I don't want her to get bashed or have wannabe fans who act like they know her. I don't want EA to have to deal with that.^-^

  • @rsgirl10 I agree totally.

    I basically just discovered her (a friend pointed me in her direction) and I see all these messages from people talking about how great she is, and then about how she can't be mainstream, but at the same time doesn't get enough credit... What!?

  • sadly i relate to this a lot of times :(

  • A fairweather friend..... i've had those before except I nvr knew it till i was older and I felt stupid. now all I need is the asylum and the plague rats :)

  • @LaZBoyziez also i think that if she did go mainstream in my opinion the plague rats and her concerts wouldn't really be as special I could be wrong though. and you are right i just told this guy about what a plague rat was and told him to listen to a song and he was like wtf and i was like your stupid. so i don't think she should go mainstream.

  • IS AN URAHARA HAT SHE'S HOLDING?!?!?! OMFG!!!!!!

  • @TheMinime56 Are you fucking stupid? It's stockings/socks on her leg.

  • @rsgirl10 I'd hate to hear her music from the radio. I don't want Emilie Autumn to be mainstreet. I don't want to hear people calling themselves "plague rats" when they like one song played on the radio. Been through that with another band and hated it.

    But do whatever you want, I live in Europe.

  • @ZeZininenWalomiekka dude, shut up if you don't like her music don't hear it you shouldn't have wasted your time writing your comment so shhh and go listen to lady gaga or something.

  • @LoveBunnyMiri Sweetie, I love her music. ;) That's why I don't want people who likes one of her songs to call themselves "fans" and then forget her after a half of a year.

    They played Billy Talent's Rusted from the Rain in the radio (mainstreet channels) here in Finland a few years ago. And suddenly, the whole country was full of Billy Talent "fans" you know maybe two songs.

    I don't want THAT to happen with Emilie Autumn, too.

  • @ZeZininenWalomiekka *who

    Sorry about that, it's half past 3 a.m. in here... xD

  • @ZeZininenWalomiekka so what those people are just fakes who try and stay with the trend cause they don't know what real music is. point is on weather she's forgotten of by so called "fans" as long as her true fans stick with her music keep loving her and listening to her then who gives a fuck about those who stopped she'll still have her true fans and that's all that matters :) i'm a mega plague rat :3

  • @rsgirl10 No, she could become *gasp* mainstream!

  • Me and my friend are thinking about doing a cover for this? Yay or nay?

  • @xViolinxManiacx78x Yay! I'll listen to it if you put it on youtube:)

  • ssheeshh this just fits my relationship to a tee. im the asshole who cares. this song makes me feel better. I just hope I can stay away permanently, cause love makes you forgive with the hope that you wont be done this way twice or in my case again, and again. gimme strength, this song nails it on the head.

  • just a note to say, thank you hugely to wingedzephyr for all your emilie videos and lyrics. thank you, thank you, thank you : D

  • wow...

  • :O a cheerful soing?!?!?!?1 lol i love this im humming it XD

  • Dear Oliver.

    This song. I swear, Emile read my mind 3 years before I even got in this situation.

    Take a hint.

    Love, the-girl-you-were-a-prick-to.

    Hmm, he only lives a few streets away... all those in favour of me screaming this out loud in the rain at his house?

  • @eviedream Go for it! :) I'll cheer you on.

  • @tohrucorinne :) Why thank you :D *Ties bootlaces* Back soon... ;)

  • @eviedream *cheers* :D

  • This reminds me so much of my old best friend

    "i'd like to think i wouldn't die for you but you know i would..cause thats the fool i am"

    It seems like i care more about my friends than they do me..perhaps i'm too good of a friend..or too bad of one considering i can't bloody find someone i relate too. of all the times my friends have said "were too different..'

    i wasn't aware you had to be a carbon copy of someone to be there friend T_T

  • When i went to her concert in illinois we were the last ones to hear this song live, cuz she said she isnt preforming this song anymore D: but that concert rocked! CAPTAIN MAGGOT DID A STAGE DIVE ON TOP OF ME AND MY FRIENDS!!!!!!

  • An underlaying of the old doo-wop sound of the late 50s-early 60s... very subtle and tongue in cheek. Emilie is fantastic and interweaves in and around musical eras and genres. A genius.

  • The guitar sounds like "In the Lake". I Love IT!

  • sigh

    oh man, look at those cavemen go 

  • @MattHolck ...what?

  • Ugh >.< those people who have all the right excuses, and who you always forgive, and you can never let go of. The awful thing is, it's always the ones that you love the most.

  • This song was in the recomended videos for an Angelspit song. I love them both so much, but it was just such a fantastic contrast between the two!

  • whats with the "brandy it is, thank you", what does it haveto do with the song?

  • @funnyfurtuson I think it was in a live show, they'd ran out of tea or something, so maggot got her brandy instead? theres a clip on youtube somehere buti forget which :/ sorry

  • I've always wondered why the intro in here (when she's talking "Brandy it is, thank you") is the same as in Let It Die. Was it a technical mistake she made when recording or something, or was it a "skit" she did often when playing shows? A little Enchant show ritual or something?

  • She looks really beautiful here, love this song <3 I've had quite a few fairweather friends in the past and, unfortunately so, a few are still present in my life... and even though I shouldn't I've allowed them to remain there. :')

  • Comment removed

  • You do get the lyrics don't you? The kind of fool I am? AKA-Thought to be the Court Jester! Its Reigning, Its Pouring & you can see all the Fair Weather friends without a crystal ball. Funny thing is they aren't getting into Heaven's Gate....

    Oh & JPL you seem to have very distorted perception of bipolar. Not that you shouldn't because many psychiatrists are oblivious to certain characteristics. I can tell u the lovely Catherine Zeta-Jones gets it & she's only a level II.

  • I love u my fairweather friend even though i shouldn't :(

  • She sang this with Inky in Chicago. ^_^ There were a few times during the show that tears were brought to my eyes, but hearing this pushed me to crying as a good few names ran through my mind. </3

  • who plays guitar here, her or inkydust? because i know live it's inkydust.

  • @wolfboii999 EA doesn't know how to play guitar, so it's likely Inky.

  • i want a friend that i could trust

  • Okay, I can understand that people have done this to me, I'm pretty ordinary and sometimes I'M probably the fairweather friend myself. But that someone would ever do this to Emilie? It's no wonder their not in Heaven.

  • 21 people liked the song so much, they died from happiness, and fell on their mouse and accidentally clicked dislike.

  • i love this woman!

  • did anyone notice there's a line from liar in this song?

    in this song it's- "I'd like to think i wouldn't die for you, but you know i would"

    in liar it's- "I'd die for you, you know i would"

  • @soundsxofxfreedom yeah but they both have very different meanings. in liar, the person who is saying that isnt her, but its someone saying that to her.

  • @wolvez2 I know but i just found it interesting to find the same line in two very different songs

  • Her guitar songs are okay, could be better. In the Lake is alright... Let it Die was a pretty good one. I also like this one... They're different but then again she is. I really like the occasional sing-song sighs.... SCREW IT! I love her guitar songs! I love all her songs! I love her... *twitches*

  • This song reminds me of my Dad... A bit wierd, but after the divorce he went AWOL and then would make plans to meet me and my little sister, but he'd always just not show up. I ended up going to therapy for Seperation Anxiety or something like that, now I just shrug it off and make other plans whenever he bothers to call. Fairweather Dad.

  • Very nice tune. Needs a couple more verses though.

  • I adore all of Emilies work, but this song in particular means a lot to me, reminds me of thr girl that just left me, we used to be best friends and I did everything I could for her, was never enough though. She sometimes did the same for me but she was more willing to give in. This song makes me feel a hell of a lot better and remember it hasn't just happened to me.

  • @JazzyD599 I know exactly how you feel I had a friend like that. She stopped talking to me maybe a month ago.

  • i love it

  • yeah, this song reminds me of my old friends. and this song is so different from her other music. and I still really love it. ♥

  • reminds me of my friend(s).

  • And she'll always be my fair-weather friend...

    I love how most of Emilie's songs are so easy to relate to.

  • About 5 minutes ago I hated this song. It's grown on me. EA is amazing. <3

  • 1000th like.... you know I won't be absent when it is all over. <3

  • Some people on here are really desperate for thumbs ups, naming no names *coughliddie15cough*

  • I always wondered why my friends dnt like emilie autunm. I figure it out. Its because shes not pop,rap,hiphop, or techno. Shes emilie autunm her own style of music.

  • @RoseBloodQueen so... your friends only listen to shit music? ;P you have taste though, so all is /strike/stillquitedepressing/s­trike/ good, right?

  • what is the strum pattern for this? can someone please tell me? I am trying to play it

  • "Absent in the end, my fairweather friend" (: lovin the song! thumbs up if you hit the replay button :D you inspire us Emilie... am i right??

  • <3Yay gonna go see her in concert....Super excited hehehe<3

  • me- "mom, can we go see emilie autumn in concert?" mom- "sure sweety, where is it?" me- "cleveland" mom- "is she coming to columbus too?" me- "no" mom- "then no." me- *dies*

  • Me-"mom can i borrow a shotgun?" Mom-"why sweety?!" Me-"Cause i needa go teach 21 ppl a lesson" Mom- "what did they do?" Me-" Disliked emilie autumns song' Mom-" Have fun!!!"

  • 21 people are absent in the end

  • I'm gonna learn this on guitar and sing it! <3 emilie autumn <3

  • I can really relate to this song.

  • @2reapers so can I

  • @2reapers dito

  • That's fucking beautiful.

  • No. I don't.

  • Do you think this song is about god?

  • @rsgirl10 I don't I think it's about a "friend" (not a very good friend)

  • Comment removed

  • ..Reminds me of my ex best friend, that bitch.

  • Hehe. I remember a few months ago, I was at a local Kmart..

    This song happened to be stuck in my head, and apparently I was singing aloud. I was singing "Itssss a sunny dayyy in HELL!" and the cashier just looked at me and laughed XD...

  • @DudeWithAFork How lovely it would've been if I'd been behind you in line and we could've sung together. Spread the plague in Kmart!!!!!!

  • @AsylumBR23 I did the same thing xD except I was at Walmart and her song Ms. Lucy Had Some Leeches was stuck in my head. Heh. I got a lot of stares.

  • @MistressMoxy44 Awesome! Yes, I sing that in school a lot. And several more of her songs. Loudly. While walking down the hall. :D

  • @DudeWithAFork One word: AWESOME! XD

  • @DudeWithAFork A sunny day in HELL? Isn't it A sunny day in Heaven? oO Or am i just completely wrong?

  • @abrowneyedmonster Well if you care to observe the lyrics.

  • how strange that tim Burton chose Emilie to name the undead bride in "Corpse Bride" movie...^^

  • Ahhhhh...........*sighs*.

  • i think that this songs portrays reality in a rather light way. Basically, no matter what happens, and who seems to help you, in the face of death, or simply in the end, they will be gone and leave. Because in the end, everyone is human, and being human means abandoment. ..ooppps. Was that too gloomy? (only trying to be realistic)

  • my mom has never heard of Emilie Autumn and today it was raining and she called me a fair weather friend. !!? Even though I like the rain:)

  • I can never differentiate between the beginning of this and the beginning of Let it Die...

  • @ColdestBeauty Neither can I. Lol

  • Definitely been there...

  • how does every1's mother know who she is? I've never met any1 EVER that has heard of her lmao

  • @spikedylacid They don't. They are just making it up to so people can agree.

  • Awesome song! Personally, i think this song is about how a friend is there when the times are good, but however is not there when it's bad.

  • @abcresidentgal3 I think that's a very good summery of the song! Though knowing Emilie there's probably a deep meaning that none of us can ever hope to understand. So I think I'll stick with your view :D

  • @abcresidentgal3 Somehow I think it's a little different. I think it's along those lines but there's something else and I can't explain it (or I could try with an epic fail.)

  • @abcresidentgal3 That's generally the meaning of a fairweather friend :)

  • Can I marry this wonderful woman? If I can't, then we will eloupe :D

  • awesome lyrics... I'm a first time listener..

    Fair Weathered Friends make me sad :( i'm a fool

  • ohhh Every time I hear her sing every time I fall in love with her!!!

    Waiting until 18 of november !!!!!!

    She sing like mermaids !!! and can talk quietly roar loudly be gentle and caress all with her voice !!!

  • Emilie always suprise me!!!!! *-*

  • Is any1 else reminded of Paradise Lost when they hear this?

  • this is exactly how i feel towards my older sister:(

  • Iunno, my soul is made of lots of singers...

  • nice song xD

  • @AkaneEverRed I know mine too!! They don't get that Emilie is my soul ....

  • Dear Ms. Emile Autumn,

    I love you.

    In a non-lesbo way.

    Love,

    Shelby

    :)

  • @ShelbyGB I love her in a pure lesbo way >..........< <3 i love you emily

    I can't decide witch is more beautiful- her or her music!!

  • 'I'd like to think I wouldn't die for you, but you know I would. 'Cause that's the fool I am.' That's me in a quote; you'd think I'd learn by the amount of times I've gotten in too deep and burned that I'd stop getting so emotionally attatched to people... Ah well. AWESOME song, AWESOME artist!

  • Nice song check out my daughters song her last name Helen Fairweather and the song is " I woke up in Love "

  • awww my comment isnt here anymore ..... sadface

  • @marduke45 cyberpolice backtraced it

  • @troublenights so they deleted it because it was too popular?

  • @marduke45 idk I was messing around ;D

  • @troublenights sadface..........

  • @marduke45 haha I like you (y)

  • i adore the song. i do, i do, i do.

  • A while ago I got drunk with my German boyfriend(I was the first time I actually met him after having dated him for 2 months and having known im for over 4 years) and since I've heard from several people that I can sing, I got the courage to sing to him and I sang this song. I don't think I've ever seen anyone so surprised by me alone. What a great moment. Right now I am drunk again, singing EA, thinking that I actually can sing... oh the memories.

  • @Ricamros Very cool story

    Maybe you shall upload videos of yours singing

    And then learn to let go and develop confidence in your singing even without alcohol :o)

  • @desirousofinspiratio man, I already hoped for it to only be a dream that I wrote inconsiderate youtube comments while being drunk... ha. Wow, I think I would die if I found out that I actually can't sing so I'ts better for now not to make videos like these. It does seem that I can sing EA songs the best. Either her songs are easy or maybe I just have a really weird voice too(all compliments to EA for that)?

    (I still don't understand how anyone can listen to their own voice recorded)

  • It's a good song but isn't there a part cut out in the beginning? D: Like, she wanted tea but she didn't get it, so she chose brandy... Or is that another song? Or am I TOTALLY mistaken lol?

  • @AnimeKramkalas1996 haha, That's "Let It Die," Hun. haha. But That's Okie. :)

  • @paramorexd423 Oh yeahh xD I don't listen to this or Let It Die often, so I guess that's why I got them mixed together >.>

  • @AnimeKramkalas1996 haha I Understand. They Dew Sound Alot Alike. I Mean, Gawsh. :)

  • @paramorexd423 Hehe okay ;P

  • I love that picture of her! oh, and the song is awesome too.

  • shes so pretty in this pic <3

  • ♥Yesterday I told my mom that Emilie Autumn is my hero.......Mommy looked worried. lol ♥
