[boxheadsfilms]

this song is a hug with a stab it the heart thrown in. ima go buy it!

[ilikeponie]

remember when perfume genius was a thing

[GregWLocke]

wish i still lived in seattle. this guy is a genius.

[TwelveLabours]

Beautiful....man it's heart wrenching.....osmosis of someone else's feelings - when it's done honestly, or perhaps some people just a lack of crud people have surrounding their souls, it becomes like pure empathy when you listen. Tis world changing. Beautiful x

[wh0repolice]

this is so beautiful.

[motardkool]

Je pense à Paul à chaque fois....

[DangerRodneyy76]

They sounds like a different version of Beirut....

[MonkeyBoyFTW]

Where is he from? Denmark?

[cristowall]

@MonkeyBoyFTW seattle

[MonkeyBoyFTW]

BIIIIIG FAN!

[albertelliswearengen]

I am a fan of dull, contrived music; I like this. Are you sure you have enough pictures of yourself in the video?

[qwertyuiopdan1]

@albertelliswearengen I am a fan of condescending wankers. If you don't like the music don't listen or comment you twat.

[albertelliswearengen]

@qwertyuiopdan1 I only meant the second part of what I said.... Meh...

[albertelliswearengen]

@qwertyuiopdan1 Oh, and you're a thick-skulled fuck. "If you don't like the music don't listen or comment". I mean come on, really, think about what you're saying for a second.

[qwertyuiopdan1]

@albertelliswearengen Thought about it, you're still a condescending wanker who should shut up and fuck off and die.

[albertelliswearengen]

@qwertyuiopdan1 Yeah, your observations about me are actually spot on. Goodbye.

[tiffyjohnstone]

the riff sounds exactly like smashing pumpkins

[xkaleymoneyx]

@masterlech: I think people are drawn to the honesty of the music. It is something so lacking in music today. It may not be an extreme amount of talent, but it is honest and moving..

[flwrpwrful]

I moved away from the bestest friend I've ever had and this our song so we cry and think of eachother whenever we listen to this song but we only listen to it when we're ready to tear up because it's not easy crying all the time.

[masterlech]

good god. how many views??? you have to be under 25 and know next to nothing about music from before you were born to be rating this guy. there is a big world out there waiting for you...

[greatfruitful]

tape of joy division

[bleached102]

0:44 Anyone else see a penis? Lol.

[AdamScadAdam]

so emotional.....

check out the live version!

[tacoandgeefan]

¨He let me smoke weed in his truck. <3

[wallpaperkilla]

I like your art.

[stinkeyjean]

i've been looking for a new sound.. finallllyyyyyyyy.

[xephrenata]

F'n amazing!!

[BowiesTomboy]

Brilliant, completely brilliant. (:

[CarycaKatarzynaIV]

He's so cute that I'd like to adopt him.

[LisasLullaby]

This is a pretty sick song. Very indicative of the wave of new music coming form upcoming artists. I like the ethereal vibe too. 

Check out “Shy,” the new song from my sister Lisa Tucker (American Idol Top 10 Finalist, BET’s The Game, Nickelodeons Zoey 101) through Lisa’sLullaby channel! Be the first to hear it!

[jamesrledwith]

Incredible artist. So glad I stayed up late tonight and found you. :-j

[hodgesdivine]

I hear bright eyes when he sings "I know you were ready to go."

[PlateauEast]

this is terrible.

[meab12]

@PlateauEast I agree with you on both counts. This is terrible, and sufjan stevens is infinitely better

[illistas]

@meab12 Something is not terrible because you don't happen to like it. Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion.

[meab12]

@illistas That sir, is absolutely true

[Crimsonite20]

dude....this was sad as hell, but the song pulled it off

[mrprz000]

Prachtig ! Bezinnen!

[alexd2010]

This song is so beautiful and sad. It makes me cry almost every time I listen to it. I love this man's music, and I can't wait for more in the future.

[studiomjl]

beautiful tribute.

[3CheersForMe]

is it me or.. its handjob at 0:44

[djfakt]

This is EASILY the most sickening "music" I have heard in a long, long time...I thought all the radio pop trash was bad but this is FAR worse.

This is absolute fcking rubbish! Beyond maudlin...Lugubrious?

Seven seconds worth of two songs and I'm already feeling nauseated. I will do violence onto him if we ever cross paths.

[sibowittz4]

@djfakt You totally misread this song...

[hebesphenomegacorona]

@djfakt exactly man! like this redefines "sad bastard music" and squares it

[ToFillTheQuota]

@djfakt If all you want to listen to is feel-good shit or trance or punk-rock or metal or pretentious/ambiguous indie rock, then you're welcome to it. I enjoy lots of that. But this is gut-wrenching, emotionally moving music and you're blind to not see its merit even if you don't enjoy it yourself.

[mrbabeycakes]

beautiful song

[kmacmuzikmafia27]

Joy Division and weed - pretty cool teacher. But, you know, without all the inappropriate touching and stuff...

[dinosaurmilk]

i remember reading about this story, god, all my old livejournal friends are so successful now... i should start catching up. good job, your music is the bees knees. 8-)

[depolarized]

The songs are so beautiful!

[jennyeugenie]

@Chelseadrogba69 yeah!!! I discover him a minute ago and the same goes for me...i m becoming a fan of him!!!

[kafarzyna]

The discovery of Perfume Genius makes me take bigger steps when walking along the street.I've been searching for quite a while for a thing that would totally impress me, grab my heart and shake my world.Thank you, Mr Genius. I truly hope one day I will find perfume smelling just like your music.

[PlateauEast]

@kafarzyna you should listen to Sufjan Stevens. much better.

[Hannoi]

@PlateauEast

I actually like this better.

[Metrosexualmod27]

[meotoko77]

[nyboy101]

They got a 9/10 on NME, very well done :D

[mfev23]

@nyboy101 NME is shit thats an insult saying it got a 9

[nyboy101]

@mfev23 Hows that an insult? NME are not shit either, they introuduce me to sexy music. ;)

[mfev23]

[blessyoubutt]

เสียงเปียโนกับเสียงร้องไม่เข้า­กันแต่เพราะโคตร

[vaneessinha]

The music is quiet and contagious. The voice is perfect! Beautiful music, I loved it.

[proulx1q]
