Emilie Autumn - A Strange Device

[spiffyredrose]

epicness! i know this might sound weird, but this song gives me a "positive, uplifting" kind of a feel. i don't think it's even scary at all.

[cameron2579]

at 3:05 someone runs their fingernails down the blackboard of my soul.

This song is pure auditory badassness

[focusedrush]

Gives you a warm haunting feeling doesn't it?

[SuperSegaliSister]

Upbeat, yet horrifying all at the same time. I don't know how she does it.

[XxShowMeTheLightxX]

Wow.Just wow.This is the most breathtaking thing I have ever heard in my life.This is beautiful.I can't begin to describe how incredibly amazing this is.Emilie,you truly are a fairy,aren't you?

[ChampagneGaming]

@XxShowMeTheLightxX she is too brilliant and beautiful to be human for sure.

[caramelkoopa]

There simply are not enough words to explain how incredible this song is.

[euphamismkinky]

;) love the diversity in music.

[silence83]

I love that she made her whole audience shiver. What an accomplishment :) 

[xStarSuicidex]

My grandmother loves this song, and thats saying alot since she listens to country music -shudders- LOL

[TheKrevez]

@xStarSuicidex LOL i thought you said your grandma said this reminds her of country music

i wonder if E.A. should start making country music >..> would the bloody crumpets be turned into the freakin' cowgirls?

[THEORYofMEtari8kitti]

@TheKrevez No. Just no.

[backupholmes3234]

isnt it weird this album is like looking at a piece of abstract work of art and just knowing somewhere it makes perfect sense

[Deathknell590]

My interpretation of the song.

I think Emilie was, the the time she made this, going through a bad time, maybe someone close to her had died, or she had an important decision to make that would alter he whole life. Never the less, this song is filled with beautiful emotions. Very touching and haunting, impossible to forget, and always in your head.

[nygosona]

Dear Emilie-with this song u keep my Friend alive;he was so amazing but so unlucky that he deserves to die-but H.,you will allways life in my heart.R.I.P.-we loved you and we allways will <3

[Supersnegler96]

I'm speechless. Amazing

[XxMissNoNamexX]

Anyone notice "rgsm" is in the URL?

Makes sense to me.

[RobinTeenTitansGO1]

@XxMissNoNamexX Ha...

[ChikaneFreak]

@XxMissNoNamexX :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[wolfboii999]

laughing and crying at the same time... o.o,

[ancona246]

i cried during this song so beautiful

[reenabeenabunny]

I love writing and painting to Emilie Autumn's music... It's very inspirational and brings out a side of me that my imagination uses very well. ((Cooking and baking too, but sometimes that food turns out debatably unedible...)) o_O Get what I mean?

[sunjong1984]

really beautiful

[LovelessFallenAngel]

this song is going to be played at my funeral whenever that happens T~T, its so beauitiful, makes me bawl TvT...

[cellofreak49]

Tim Burton's brain should go back to how cool it was in the eighties, and he should remake Labyrinth and use this for the ballroom scene.

[VinalSideUp]

@cellofreak49 The idea is good but Labyrinth should NEVER be remade

[boiper]

@VinalSideUp Agree'd.

Maybe instead someone should do an MV of the Labrinth with the ballroom scene to this song.

-bricked-

[ilyJDXforever]

@boiper

That would be amazing.

[zoxEmoRoXasxoz]

@boiper :D

If I had any skills in such, I would totally do that!

In any case, seeing The Goblin King's beautiful face to this music would make me DIE.

[RoSiNe00]

seriously, listening to that piece with your eyes closed makes you feel like you're experiencing  some kind of lucid dream, or something similar

way beyond amazing, it's almost spiritual

love it

[xxkerosenexkidxx]

um, does she sing at all?

[AvannTethialla]

@xxkerosenexkidxx I think she only has one or two albums that are just instrumental; the rest she sings in. Just look a little? She has an amazing voice.

[LittleBluRidinHood]

@xxkerosenexkidxx in her opheliac and enchant album but not the laced and unlaced ep. all instrumental.

[moonstrike047]

Now thats a true song of beautifulness.

[flyingsmilodon]

This sounds like something I would listen to on a night time walk while it's snowing.

Weird, perhaps. But I must try it! I just hope it snows this year. ;D

[nekoFlein]

Kind of makes me imagine a post-apocalyptic setting.

[Deathknell590]

-goes to inject more emilie autumn into system-

This is brilliant!

Shes heroin

[Mumzzen]

But hey! That´s just my opinion! I love this song!

[Mumzzen]

I don´t think this song is scary at all..it sounds like you are winning over something traumatic, something evil or some trouble in your life..I Think this song sounds very happy. Like you have overcome the worst part, the silent after the storm. This songs reminds of the good old: "You have to move on" sentence. And the part at 3:07 reminds me of a strong woman thinking or saying to the persons that ruind her life that "I will never give in for you anymore! I´m better than you!"

[tammer400]

for me this song reminds me of an object like drugs or war that change someone and the world for the worse or a looming prensence

[Angelofcupcakes]

Can someone tell me where I can read a snippet of the asylum book online?

[MoviesRock007]

@Angelofcupcakes YOu can look online for asylum letter 2 i think which emilie reads herself here on youtube! ^_^

[DorothyFlame]

@MoviesRock007 Oh my god, I so need to send her a letter! Her music has changed my life in so many ways. Her music has also helped me in times where I hated life, and this song helped me cope with it. It speaks out to me, and I'm sure it does for lots of others.

[Leviclei]

This song sounds like the feeling- in part- you get, listening to her narrate the un-realness of the arrival to the asylum in her book. (can be found here on youtube...) Does anyone know if they have her book at barnes and noble?

[bubbles4good]

thats what im trying to find out, that, and what is the title of the book?

[RandomRamenNoodle]

The Asylum For Wayward Victorian Girls

[ChizuOtaku373]

@Leviclei Her book can't be bought in stores and I think they are out of them online sadly

[tammer400]

This is awsome and if i had a tv or video game i'd hire emilie yoko himmura and nuobo to do the bgm cause they all rock

[Romanee92]

I am shivering and it's not due to the cold ..

Gosh, why didn't I listen to it before? It gives me goosebumps, scares me to death and is so enchanting at the same time...It should be in a horror movie XD Maybe an option for another Saw?

[TechnoLolita]

@Romanee92 She has played for Saw before. :D It would be interesting for her to do so again,

[Romanee92]

@TechnoLolita Yeah Organ grinder for Saw III and Dead is the new alive for IV I believe....But of course, she goes all back to happy in songs like Rapunzel etc. I love her style :)

[KawaiiPandaBaka]

@Romanee92

yeah,a remixed version of Dead is the New Alive for Saw IV and in Saw V is Unlaced

[000DrkAngel000]

@Romanee92 If you like gore anime, you should watch higurashi

[Creaturethingyay]

@000DrkAngel000

Oh yes! 8D

Higurashi is the best <3

Or Elfen Lied :'3

[PinkTengu]

@Creaturethingyay I agree! Higurashi ftw!

[SassquatchINC]

@Creaturethingyay god, the higurashi-OST scares the hell out of me except for the intro(which is simply the best anime-intro imo)

[SailorLeeches]

@Romanee92

two of her songs are on the saw soundtracks =D

the dead is the new alive remix and organ grinder =3

[Romanee92]

@SailorLeeches I know :3 That's why I wrote another saw, not just saw XD But yeah, it's awesome she is combined with saw >8D

[kalacs32]

@Romanee92 Perhaps....You're afraid of falling? :)

[NeonSkittlez3]

@Romanee92 I completely agree... But she did Organ Grinder for Saw lll :)

[Blegnog]

@Romanee92 Dead Is The New Alive was used on the saw IV soundtrack, and I totally agree. This song is extremely scary, but at the same time its comforting and pretty sad... I'm getting an electric violin soon and only wish I could be as good as this.

[abbeythevamp]

I love Emilie she is such a talented vocalist and her poetry is riveting. can't you just imagine her world the way she explains things you feel like your there. It's Victorian industrial so it's new to most people but sometimes i think i was born into the wrong era. she is brilliant! * --- *

[steampunkchick]

you can just imagine this as the music to any old movie where someone may stumble upon an abandoned building or something like that and a horrible machine doing cruel things to humans. Like in this movie coma where these people's organs are harvested for money. I mean this song is amazing! i absolutley love it.

[piratequeen357]

I just discovered that if you listen to this at the same time as Otep's "Smash the Control Machine" or "Rise Rebel Resist", it sounds nice. They all sound nice on their own, but overlapping isn't bad- or well, I ike it...

[kakashi1336]

This is one of my favorite songs off Laced/Unlaced. Its amazing!

[MissFixit1]

By far my favorite violin solo by her (:

[jewgirl1127]

LURV!!!!! I just- GAH!! so much awesomeness!

[StripedxStockings]

she's inspired me to take up electric violin :) i love her, whenever i feel uninspired i listen to her

[AfroPunkprincess]

This song makes me want to cry.T.T

it's so beautiful and so expressive...

[AcesCorset]

@AfroPunkprincess The first time I heard this, I did cry. I was like, "Why the heck am I balling like a baby?" Then I realized that EA has ripped out my heart and sewn it back up, then stuffed it back in my chest. This song leaves me breathless. <3

[n0pseud0xx]

Brilliant !

[qpJerseyqp]

Wow, I love her! She´s so talented! *-*

[GoodReason89]

Awesome!!

[ytryuerth]

she is my muse too tho the most human like thing i draw is a 8 pupiled green eye
