  • My life made song

  • Little Dutch VA?

  • @mauriciodiniz45 That's not true. I have a medical condition I won't speak about because I don't want to sound like some sort of attention whoere. However, I understood the meaning of the song and felt related to it because of said condition.

  • No words needed..

  • Obviously a marvel/ Chiara, Amanda when you join hearts and heads..jesus christ

  • vals

  • Beautiful.... See, we still have Artists...

  • kinda makes me sad in a happy way... can't really explain.

    it's just so beautiful.

  • The animation was so well done, I love it.

  • This is the most amazing thing i've seen in a long time.

  • I Planned to name my first Daughter Evelyn... Still going to, but now I think I'll be terrified of her.

  • Sure... make me cry. Why not.

  • @YourDarkAccomplice

    Yeah, me too the other day walking around with this sound in the cold winter night...

  • Sometimes I wonder how a top comment can have only two tumbs up...

  • This song is so beautiful and the animation is so creepy, both at the same time, but I love it anyway :) I understand the song as well because I am a twin :)

  • A friend showed me this because my name is Evelyn. And I am so glad she showed it to me, it is so beautiful! and so well done! and the music is great, and the mood, and the lyrics... congrats to Evelyn Evelyn

  • This reminds me of Coraline...I LOVE this band..gah *sighs*

  • its so haunting

  • This song makes me shed a tear everytime<3

  • I'm raping the Play button..

  • It makes me wish I could have twin daughters- or have a twin sister of my own- I'm very envious of twins-even though-they all aren't so grateful for there other sibling-...but who could understand anyone as well as your own twin sister or brother?lol-I know it's usually not always the case but I could only wish I had a chance of having such-

  • @TheSleepydemon If I were you I wouldn't wish for twin friends, though, because if something happens to one, it happens to the other and you get the same story twice.

  • fucking excellent video to go with a fucking excellent song!!!! :)

  • i like this band :)

  • Absolutely beautiful animation. The intensity of the final scenes, first with the scissors and then with the thread, added masterfully to the feeling of the song. Thank you for your creation.

  • I have never seen this video before! I absolutely love it!!!!

  • I'm currently obsessed with The Dresden Dolls and Amanda Palmer, and I can't believe I've only just found out about Evelyn Evelyn. I NEED the album.

    This song is beautiful and I love it - the 'Evelyn, Evelyn' part is especially perfect.

  • Reminds me Dresden Dolls...

  • @Industriallity That's because it's Amanda Palmer.

  • @Wuvsykins Thanks :D

  • What key is this song in?

  • This song is so strange and haunting...A little creepy...but I can't stop listening to it

  • This album should be made into Broadway play. The story is so brilliant!

  • omg my names evelyn i looked up my name and found this .... wierd

  • @slacker9391

    me too !!!! i love that my name has such a perfect song !!!

  • @slacker9391 me too :DD

  • ......That's amazing. 

  • This song always makes me so depressed. Its just a sad and beautiful song. I cry to this everytime, there hasn't been one time where I haven't.

  • Wow, this song would go perfectly with the film "Grey Gardens".

  • <3

  • i wack it at night to this

  • shit's damn kinky

  • Can someone explain to me why this has 6 dislikes? HUH HUH?

  • @LittIeToaster it's hilariously awful.

  • @perleatsworld You don't understand the beauty of the Evelyn sisters music. This is one of the most emotional songs about them growing up together and how they feel about being conjoined and their future. Its not hilariously awful, its music, beautifully written music. Its wonderful for the two to do something like this.

  • @ilovedaftpunk55 No I understand I just think it's bad. And that explanation is terrible... The vocal delivery on this is so bad. BUT WE JUST DID THAT YESTERDAY. SHOULD WE BE ASTRONAUTS? How the shit is that good? It's like 5 year olds trying to be deep.

  • @perleatsworld You know what fuck you dude, you have no taste in good music. I've taken choir for 3 years now and the vocal delivery is fine.

  • @ilovedaftpunk55 Also, they're not sisters. You know that right?

  • @perleatsworld Two girls......sound like girls....sing like girls...yeah just stop right there.

  • @ilovedaftpunk55 ahahahahahahahahahaha. It's Amanda Palmer and Jason Webley, I figure you know that and are trolling me, but one is definitely a guy. Here's a list of all conjoined twins born in the 21st century if you don't believe me, Evelyn and Evelyn are not on there: en . wikipedia . org/ wiki / Conjoined_twins#Born_21st_cent­ury

    It's two people acting like conjoined twins to make people sad but they're incredible out of touch with actual hardships of any kind.

  • @perleatsworld You belive what you want, but I'm staying with mines. SO fuck off.

  • @ilovedaftpunk55 hahaha no

  • @perleatsworld Uhhh yeah. You can kiss my uke furry shota ass.

  • @ilovedaftpunk55 I don't know WHATS going on anymore

  • @perleatsworld Good, its gonna stay that way.

  • @ilovedaftpunk55 SHOULD WE BE ASTRONAUTS?

  • @perleatsworld Should I slap you?

  • @ilovedaftpunk55 BUT YOU JUST DID THAT YESTERDAY

  • @perleatsworld I swear to god I will come find you and kill you in your sleep.

  • @ilovedaftpunk55 So, are you two dating? o.o

  • @Wuvsykins .........................WHAT!­? 0.0

  • @ilovedaftpunk55 You've got to be banging each other.

  • @Wuvsykins What no. I don't even know if thats a guy or girl.

  • @ilovedaftpunk55 Who cares about that? I mean, the way you're going at it, you have to be fucking. I mean really? The Evelyn sisters? Jason Webley? That entire line of conversation means you've got to be banging each other. That's the kind of babbling that only goes on with couples. It's either that or a twelve-year-old girl and an adult.

    "OMG ITS TOTALLY REAL TWINS!!!11"

  • @Wuvsykins No no we're not ok.

  • @ilovedaftpunk55 Not fucking, or not twelve (you) and rational (perkeleface).

  • @Wuvsykins Your just confusing me now.

  • @ilovedaftpunk55 I think you were born that way.

  • <3

  • the vid still creeps the hell out of me though

  • This is so beautiful. I'm drunk as hell and haven't slept in over 24 hours and this made me feel rejuvenated and cry. If I ever see this album for sale I will be sure to buy it. Thank you for making my...morning ! <3

  • Awesome <3 so beautiful.

  • Everything about Evelyn Evelyn is just scary and disturbing... yet so beautiful.

  • I always feel sort of lonely when I watch this?? is it just me?

  • This is undescribable beauty. I could sit here for years thinking about the meaning behind Evelyn Evelyn and look into this so deeply, its amazing how some people have such stunning talents.

  • The Brothers Quay should have directed this.

  • Comment removed

  • four dislikes?? Thanks Hermione -___-;

  • @TheseDotsDontDip

    Don't you have anything better to say on an awesome video than commenting on the dislikes? Someone else already did it here, try something more original will you. Something we haven't read a bazillion times over the span of nearly a full year =____=

  • Damn you for make me choke up with tears...

  • amazing I love this so much.

  • f@$#ing outstanding, eargasmic song

  • @chefruss666 That honestly looks like it says "fasting" in Leet.

  • This song .. is the most intense song I've ever heard.. so distinct.. and yet so touching.. Relates to everyone

  • Wow, this song is so beutiful :0

  • I love a girl named evelyn... but, right now, I miss her very much

  • genial video (y)

  • that is beautiful :) I just fucking love it :)

  • Evelyn... Evelyn...

  • I think 4 people cried at work and everyone laughed at them. 

  • is one a guy...? they sound like a girl and guy.

  • @rosealineajapril8464 sounds like amanda palmer

  • @MrPblower It's a duet...Amanda Palmer and Jason Webley sing this song.

  • @rosealineajapril8464 they are a boy and a girl

  • This song touched my heart.. :(

  • this is going to sound slightly twisted, but i'm kind of envious of the relationship in this song. my twin sister died when i was young and i've craved this kind of tormenting closeness since then - to know someone so well that you fight and hate eachother as much as you understand and love eachother.

  • @moonishlips hehe, me understand, i be twisted <3

    

  • @moonishlips I love that.

    

  • @moonishlips One day you have no choice but to leave her or she would take over you. Me, I was the parasite. Now she has a boy and a husband. I have a cat. She knows I'm always wrong and I know she NEEDS to be right all the time. Today I really love her. I didn't love her before - before I had friends for her to hate and before I hated her and came to see her anyway - and then go back home when she gets on my nerves. We are not twins, but mamma made sure we were conjoined for a long time.

  • Feels like I've known this song all my life, hauntingly beautiful!

  • @rosztun holy jesus i swear to god i thought the exsact same thing as you, as soon as they said eyelyn my eyes widened.

  • this is cute and creepy

  • I am now in love with this (: It reminds me of Tim Burton's movies. Like Coraline and Sweeney Todd. <33 Gosh this is breath taking.

  • Comment removed

  • @AvaAmbition Me too, particularly the fact that those two and ALSO Nightmare before christmas ALL have the sewing thing, where they took hundreds of photos of the process of sewing. It's actually very fun.

  • this video just always makes me smile. Not because it's happy, but because it touches on what it really it like to be in a family with siblings. When you can't always get away, when you are stuck together. LOL Kids int eh back of the car! But yeah, I do hope we get to see more from this duo.

  • Amanda, Jason, we NEED sheet music for Evelyn Evelyn, desperately need it. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE release some!!!!

  • @TheCryingChild Amanda has never and probably WILL never release sheet music for her compositions, because she does everything by ear.

  • @DarkKrystal Not entirely true.. you can buy a piano book for the first Dresden dolls album which was arranged by someone on request by Amanda. Sheet music aside, it's worth buying it for the Amanda POV on all the songs.

  • Amazingly creepy

  • Where I could download this terrific song?

  • goosebums.

    

  • Stunning and amazing.

  • Both of their voices plus the creepy video plus the haunting music gave me the creeps. Sounds like impending danger or a tragedy. And it's very beautiful.

  • i cry everytime when i hear this song. and the video fits it perfectly. absolutely beautiful.

  • amanda palmer is a genius

  • :O WOW adding this to my favorites

  • my name is evelyn will not evelyn evelyn but different

  • Are they really real twins???

  • @RayBarkins no......... congratulations.. YOU ARE AN IDIOT :D

  • just perfect

  • just perfect

  • In the song...there are some lines that confused me (if you can explain it to me it would be greattt) :

    1. they're not looking anyway...

    2. they're watching us anyway... (who's they?)

    3. I'm only trying to do what is best for us! (what is it that she was trying to do?)

    4. I'm coming home... (?)

    5. stay...runaway... (what is that all about?)

  • @vivi2go it's about conjoined sisters.. each singing about their wants and desires. One sees it as 'they're not looking anyway" they being the people around them, the 'crowd', the other see's it as "they're watching us anyway" again about the same ppl. This is in reference to one of them suggesting they become millionaires off their unique gift of being a 'freak show'

    Stay..runaway...again the sisters talking about being so different. One wants to go, one wants to stay

  • @petulant2u i know the general explanation goes in that direction (conjoined sisters etc..probably because of the whole performans by amanda and jason), but i have a feeling like one person is singing. (s)he has a multiple personality disorder and that includes phobias, paranoia.... so the two personas are arguing with each other. kind of a psycho scene :) i guess that's just my prefered interpretation...

  • ok...so i absolutely loveeeee this song!

    So strong and powerful!

    But can someone tell me what some interpretations of this song are? I know the over all meaning of the song is pretty much about their struggle being a parapagus tripus dibrachius twins...but is there something deeper than that?

  • This is beautifully chilling, the video compliments the song wonderfully :) x

  • I found this song because my name is Evelyn. This song is amazing, no wonder it has 0 dislikes. I love it <3

  • I am soooo impressed.

  • 0 dislikes? DAMN RIGHT ZERO DISLIKES. this is AMAZING

  • @sunshinekoala awks.. seven dislikes

  • A little piece of heaven is still 1000x times better

    

  • @Sockenterry .........Who fuckin' cares?

  • One of my absolute favourites.

  • I've just noticed that "Neville" is nearly an anagram of "Evelyn".

  • One of my favorite songs and now a video to match. I don't think I've ever seen anything on youtube with no dislikes, I hope it stays that way.

  • This song makes me cry :'( Because its sooo sad and sooo AMAZING!!!

  • PErfect

  • I listened to this last night 43 times in a row before finally giving it a rest. (No joke.) Now I think I'll listen to it at -least- 20 more times. :)

  • love <3

  • Stunning!

  • Bloody fantastic.  Creepy. Beautiful.

  • This song gives me chills. It can even come to represent the duality within the selves... And the blur between the halves.
