@Kleptohr actually, im not sure about G7... it never sounded right to me...

[VictoriaWearsPrada93]

I hope to write like she does some day.

[ArchaicSushi]

She sounds very English in this, which makes me proud, being English and all :P

[RawrRItsYash]

@ArchaicSushi Same here XD

[BLaZeDRas]

amazing, great version

[Trollhugger427]

I loooooovvvveeee this version. The guitar sounds absolutely amazing, I would actually like to hear just the guitar one of these days. :)

[benjetta96]

I swore to myself I would NEVER post a stupid comment like this, but...

...9 people should probably go commit suicide.

[TanyaRayne]

I like this version better than the original, it has more emotion and makes me think more of the sarcasm in it.

[ilikeurhairyarms]

I think I just fell in love...<3

[xzombersx]

Here's something I got off a different song. And it works just as well.

1. Pause the video at the beging

2. Put on another tab and go to rainymood(dot)com

3. Play the song again while on rainymood(dot)com

4. Enjoy

:D it works

[animeloveronline]

....AND I THOUGHT THE ORIGINAL ONE WS EPICALY AMAZINGFULI LOVE HER AND EVERYTHING SHE DOES SHE IS A SUPERHERO ARTIST i love her acustics and originals

[xoAnouk]

@pepperminty: Omg really?? I didn't know, I'm sorry :O

[SilhouetteUntold]

Dear Emilie, come to America. We love you! :)

[TrojanKassandra]

@SilhouetteUntold She IS American and was on North American Tour about a month ago.

[GIR135790]

by the way THANK YOU Emilie ((that's all i can say))

[phillyblizzard]

I like songs  which make me feel, like Emilie does here. She makes SO much sence.

[GIR135790]

@AveCaligula I would like to have the oportunity but as i live in mexico city it is too hard to find it

I know that in some ocations she tried to commit suicide and so then

i can understand a little bit some parts of the song in my own way

anyways thank you alot and I'll try to find the book

[BloodstainedHorror]

This is truly beautiful.

[GIR135790]

Can somebody explain me if she is being sarcastic about this topic, i mean i've ever thought she meant about suicide but my boyfriend told me that maybe she was saying the opossite due to she's sarcastic PLEASE HELP ME XP

[littletooironic]

@GIR135790 No sarcasm, only truth here. Read the history behind the song 'Gloomy Sunday', then listen to this again.

[GIR135790]

@littletooironic ok i think that I couldn't bring my correct idea i don't know wich is the correct term in english due to it is not my native lenguage but in spanish there's something called ANTITESIS it brings wether a positive or negative idea but this idea is also giving the oposite meaning i didn't know the term until some days ago what i was meant to say was

is she usibg the ANTITESIS?

and yeah i heard already the song you mentioned and also some others that gave me some new ideas now l

[PotatoNightmare]

I like Vitriol's version of this. (Acoustic Version) :)

[pepperminty31]

@xoAnouk

That's not so funny to say... Emilie has been raped.

:X

[CelticIrishGothGirl]

@pepperminty31

What was said?

[left4deadlover123]

@pepperminty31 What did they say? x<3x

[XxMissNoNamexX]

By the way, "The Bridge of Sighs" was a victorian poem about a girl who commits suicide, so that's why she said "Bridges of sighs". I felt awesome that I picked up on that.

[blacksnowhitequeen]

I do like it, but, oddly, I feel there's more emotion (which somehow adds to the sarcasm) in the original.

[XxMissNoNamexX]

I love her Ophelia hair here.

That mad girl. :)

[Kasspyr]

if someone draws this picture of her.. I will get it tattooed on my arm

[XxXBleedingAngelXxXX]

This version is so awesome. <33 Thank you for putting it on youtube ^__^. Maybe I should buy the deluxe edition of Opheliac after all. I only have the original one. 

[AndiiandBeckii]

Love LoveLove LoveLove LoveLove Love oh, and love

[XevilxlittlexbonnyX]

I just LOVE wingedzephyr's vids :]

I mean she's the BEST making lyrics

and the backgrounds is fitting to the music n.n

is there a song (by EA) she hasn't put on youtube?! ^w^

- by the way i'm from Denmark, so i'm not so good at english as you guys.. :B

[ToRaAiKo]

Acoustic version is beautiful ♥

[LWillRuleTheWorld]

I love her voice. She can do, like, emotion without whining. I wish I could.

[IAmAwesomeSoAreYou]

wow her voice is beautiful!

[LaurensFavoriteMusic]

wingedzephyr, I haved LOVED your videos ever since I knew of Emilie Autumn, you do a great job on ALL of your videos(including this one, of couse)

[DudeWithAFork]

@LaurensFavoriteMusic You should post that on her youtube wall thingy

[LaurensFavoriteMusic]

@DudeWithAFork Thanks for the info, I shall tell her right now

[FreakHumorify]

Can someone please tell me what cord she's using for this song:)

[thecoolestfreak]

@FreakHumorify hmm I have a link somewhere

I'll message them to you :)

[FreakHumorify]

@thecoolestfreak Thank you:D

[LezlieLunatic]

@thecoolestfreak I want them to! I can hear some of them, but I am a bassist >_> Awful at the guitar, and all I bother playing is Emilie Autumn :3

[thecoolestfreak]

@LezlieLunatic I sent them to you too :D

[Kayakazaki]

I'd sell my soul to meet her in real life.

[kittykat490]

My god, I love the original to death, and I love this just as much! Beautiful.

[BabieRaiRai]

The love of my life resently broke up with me.

Listening to this song helps in so many ways.

Why live a life?

A perfect question I keep asking myself.

Along with why bother bothering?

It's a perfect song to listen to with amazing lyrics and I can not believe that 8 people don't like this song.

But I guess it just comes down to taste.

But I love this song.

And I would like to thank Emilie for writing it because it really as saved me

<3

[XxMissNoNamexX]

I love her Ophelia hair in this pic.

[DrContrary]

Call me crazy, but that picture makes me think "Alas, poor Yorick!"

[mercedeschachabaca]

@DrContrary ^_^ shakespeare

[SwayingStoplights]

Why live a life that's painted with pity and sadness and strife?

Why dream a dream that's tainted with trouble and less than it seems?

Ah, love this song.

[shadylimon]

wow this version is way better you can hear her voice much clearer



[NinjaSammie]

I see A rat, a teapot, and Emilie looking amazing

[RococoLady]

This is music. Emilie Autumn IS music. <3 I am always crying, this is just... beautiful

[HaysoosLovesYou]

I always thought it was "why live a lie" not "why live a life"

Thank you for correcting me :)

[BKSabryTH]

ç_____________ç ohhh I'm crying...

[francisthechick13]

@BKSabryTH hug:)

[thistleflowers]

How can anyone not like her voice? Its beautiful..

[mercedeschachabaca]

awww my friend didnt like her voice :(

[0Cuz0ImBroken0]

@mercedeschachabaca my friend too, even if I can't understand why. ><

[XChuckyEggX]

I love it :) 

[CloudGaioStrife]

youtube doesnt want me posting links, but the tab can be seen here emilieautumnweb(dot)com/partit­uras/taos(dot)txt

[xviejax]

wwaaa que lindo en acustico *-*

[ILoveYouEmilieAutumn]

Even better than the original!

I wonder if iTunes has it....

[HauntedCurtains]

She looks so sweet in that picture.

[MissChocoLoco]

i want the chords for this song!!!!! love Ea

[PorcelainxXxAbacus]

Now I want to learn this on the guitar ;O I love it ^^

[platonicx]

Cool i dont get it i mean not even a little bit. Namely the ending. Does she think we are gonna overpopulate the earth or something? :-D

[EllyEve]

@platonicx, The way I hear it, the speaker feels that life is earned, not given. They must be a perfect or revolutionary poet/singer/lover, or else a waste of time and oxygen who just ought to off themselves. And there ARE such a lot of people in the world to compare oneself unfavorably to, that one can't help reaching the conclusion that one really never belonged here. That kinda hurts. Why live? Why suffer so? "Because there's a story that ought to be heard"? Pfft, someone else can tell it.

[mayubuildgod]

@platonicx I think the song is sarcastic, and the ending she says like "just kill yourself, we dont need any more poets to sing another sad song"..

Beware, sarcastic..

[MelaWasYourFriend]

Its. So. Pretty. :O

[IssyRedbird]

@MelaWasYourFriend Well put. :)

[MelaWasYourFriend]

@IssyRedbird I know. I try. ;D

[MrJabberzz]

I think I prefer this version, it's sounds more dainty, and fuller.

[BritneyFanFeva]

I prefer this over the album version. It's more organic and simple <3

[StripedxStockings]

I love the harmonies in this version <3

[PsycheOfAsylum]

tabs tabs tabs pleeaaaase!!!

[dangerouskindmexico]

@PsycheOfAsylum I tried to post the complete url but YouTube is sooo stupid sometimes. Try going to her Official Forum, there's some interesting stuff in there. Btw 911tabs.com works too

[thedenisa4200]

i adore this version

[MissL0ver]

I like the other version more :) But this is also realy beautiful. I love all her work! She has such a pretty voice! :D I love her <3

[HangedHourai]

This song reminds me so much of my ex. T_T

[AntistiaMona]

♫♥ ♫beauty song♫♥♫

[themaka1977]

Does anyone have the chords/tab of this version? Thanks and great song!!

[zoowijoowi]

There's so mch emotion in this version. :'(

[ichschlafegern]

Wow, I LOVE that pic!

[KajaKaa]

I love this song, Emilie is so awesome and talented :3

[xpixelatedxlovex]

I really like this version. It's just as good as the original, if not, better.

[FictitiousXBeing]

<3 :D :D <3

[allycatanime]

dude.. she laughed in this...

[allycatanime]

.... this version is kinda scary... the other version was pettier.... but im glad i can hear the guitar.... damn... if only there wee an MP3!

[XScreamInTheDarkX]

is it her rat? cuz my friend had more or less the same =D

[RandomRamenNoodle]

Yes, it is her rat. She has two identical rats, Sir Edward and Basil.

[metallicachan]

@RandomRamenNoodle Good names for rats xD

[RandomRamenNoodle]

Yup! I might get two for my birthday and name them that.

[PanoplyCabaret]

where is it referencing snape ??

[bllaaaa]

I like this better than the original.... Emilie isn't using all the vocal acrobatics that she does in the original; it seems all the more honest and natural.

[AvrilRawkz12]

i love Emilie and this song is amazing!

i actually like this version better, but both are still pretty flippin awsome lol

♥ EA 4ever and ever!

<3<3<3<3hawrtzz!!<3<3<3<3

[acidcherrylemonade]

Dear God, it surely gave me shivers.

[SallySonic]

Poor Snape... *tear* :(

[CountessUsagi]

beautiful!

[ShoeDestruction]

When she sings "why bother bothering" you have just enough room to say "Snape!"

[emilieautumnfan]

Ah, you made my day with that little comment.

I'll never take this song seriously again!

[GlaciatedHeart]

Snape? What's that? O_O

[AvrilRawkz12]

Snape is a character in an amazing series called HARRY POTTER :) lol

[AvrilRawkz12]

idk someone asked who sape was so i told them :P

[Thetubingofyou]

Ha, very good reference there.

[punkpixie555]

Reminds me of my Hypnos <3

I LOVE this acoustic.

[xSupernaturalChildx]

this song sounds beautiful in acoustic... yet i couldn't imagine it at first...i love it =]

[XXxsineadosxXX]

[sesshypuppysbff]

OMG youre right! I thought it was just kinda deformed for damatic effect...

[AlterEgoMisery]

I...think i like THIS version better.

I just LOVE acoustic versions!!!

[DinoSaro]

Love Ea..:3

She's such a great artist! :3

[MagicalSunrise1984]

Very beautiful song

[zanewoody]

[SketchUpGirl]

I love rats and little mouses and kittens. They are just so <3

[XLoveXisXSummerX]

She has a beautiful voice ♥

[aravis86]

I loooove this song :)

[AvrilRawkz12]

what is she holding in this pic?

oh, and Emilie Autumn ROCKS!!! :)

love her alot!

[DarkBeauty911]

Emilie is holding one of her pet rats and a tea pot. And she totally does rock. Who couldn't love her? =D

[lindsuvengeance6661]

it looks like a tea pot to me

[psycoonr1]

looks lika a rat and.. a mouse (???) xD but i dunno..

[psycoonr1]

HAHAHAHA just noticed what i wroted O_O i ment a rat and a tea pot HAHAHA XDD

[AvrilRawkz12]

lol

now i see it

[DancetotheRemix]

She's holding a teapot with a rat on it.

[SmellsLikeVanilla33]

It's a skull teapot!

*smile*

[SmellsLikeVanilla33]

Lol, I've kinda already said this, but was I the only one who thought it was a skull when I first saw it? *coughhamletstylecough* so I've decided, although the teapot doesn't much resemble a skull. . it's still a skull-shaped teapot XD

Not sure if that was deliberate or not.

Either way, I loves this pic. She looks so. . .

[NafNafMisaMisa]

I first realized that it isn't a skull when I read your entry..

[XLoveXisXSummerX]

First time I saw it I knew it wasn't a skull..but then I just went to listen to this song again and I was about to click on the vid and I was like"Is that a skull?Oh wait..nvm" lol

[xbettybombx]

SmellsLikeVanilla33 , haha i thought it was a skull too! I was like "Oh, like Hamlet. Makes since..." Then I was like, "Oh, rat. Makes even more sense." Lol.

[samm2tew]

@xbettybombx

How on earth did you see a skull lol! hehe + 1

[MadDuckInc151]

@samm2tew That's funny. Until I looked just now, I thought it was a skull as well.

[emilieautumnfan]

I thought it was a Hamlet reference too! I only see it now...

[angel1967cougar]

Emilie Autumn and Amy Lee are my idols. I love them both and would do anything to see them in concert. EA RULLEZ!!!!!

[NJacoblover]

OMG, me too!

Except, my idols are Adam Lambert and David Levithan...

But they're close enough, right?

LOL, no, but I would do anything to see either of them in concert too. :)

[MissNaminette]

*agrees with you completley!*

SQUEE!

[NJacoblover]

you know whadam lambert and david levithan are?!?!

OMG, you are awesome for that.

(if you do)

[MissNaminette]

I know Glambert of course, but isn't David Levithan a preacher or something? :P I'm sorry

[NJacoblover]

Well...Adam Lambert is awesome...

But David Levithan is 200 billion times awesomer!

He's an author.

(The best author)

[RainofDemise]

Of course Adam is amazing, but... by David Levithan, do you by any chance mean the author who wrote "the realm of possibility" and "how they meet" among others? Because if you do, that is AMAZING. I love him. And while I'm confused as to why this is on an EA video comment area, I have to say that.

And EA is completely amazing too of course! Both she and David Levithan are complete inspirations. (Dear oh my, I'm sounding like SUCH a fangirl)

I write too much.

[NJacoblover]

yes, that is the EXACT David Levithan I'm writing about. You can't help but ♥ him, right? :)

LOL, it's still funny we're writing this on Emilie Autumn, who is just so perfect in her own way too. LOL

I am a total David L. Fangirl, :)

[Alchemy777]

see this shows shes a great singer. ony singers that dont lip sing can do Acoustic XD (or thats my Opinion)

[daskleinekiki]

OMG!

That's better than the orginal version. <3

5*

[Whisperend]

... i only have the european version of opheliac --> don't have the song,

grrrrr....

The song is amazing.

[DarahFreakinCullen]

grrr i was so mad the cancelled the summer dates :((

[smartchikchick]

I still can't believe her manager would pull some shit like that. I imagine she's pretty pissed about canceling the dates too.

[Karinkasan]

She fired him. Pissed off enough for you?

[smartchikchick]

I read that too. And I read she's also suing him for all the debt he ran up on her. What I think he deserves is to get run over with a lawn mower a couple times - after he pays her back.

[froggychick12]

what did he do?

[smartchikchick]

From what I gathered, he had set up fake tour dates that he had no intention of telling EA about and had people buy "tickets" from a site he created using HER NAME. So, he not only put her in debt for all the wronged fans (and you never fuck with girls who love industrial metal, even if we wear corsets/skirts), but he's ruined part of her reputation and messed up her tour.

[froggychick12]

same here. She may do a concert on Boston which rocks!

[TheLunanie]

Well, I tried to sing this version in a karaoke sound that happened in my school. And I think it went well. After all people asked me what the name of the song, why were delighted. ;)

[LilDevilLuciferCutie]

this song is so good acoustic too<3<3<3

I was so angst when I heard that they canselled the tour which I was suppose go to london to see them<3<3<3<3....she is so amazing and brilliant<3

[moonstarspell]

OMG O.O I MUST LEARN HOW TO PLAY THIS SONG!!! I mean I love everything that Emilie does ^^ she is like ...my musical hero!!!!!

[froggychick12]

shes mine too! my total idol

[XKiokuX]

Emilie Autumn is a prodigious singer and is extremely talented. I rather quite enjoy listening to her manical music while sipping at my tea and thinking of what, oh, what I shall be doing with HIM tonight. Such wayward thoughts. Thank God Emilie is here to ensure we all understand how Victorian girls should act or else we might never be free of this Asylum.

[DarthF21]

Emilie is adictive for a while but after that EMILIEEEEE thing passes off u can see her as the talented artist she is without that first contact fanatism.....she´s very talend even if she´s creepy at times xD

[Tonelimefizk]

That's maybe the prettiest photo I've seen of her.. Where can I find it?
