Girl Anachronism (Another Version) - The Dresden Dolls

[stonerbuddy1]

I like this one better

[Sorrowisapanther]

I... hm. I don't think I'm behind this version. It's not BAD, it's just not the one I know and love.

[smashingpumpkins311]

This version is better

[LivesOnCemeteryDrive]

Because of The Dresden dolls, I use a dictionary a lot more.

[TheDaniiPop]

I think this version is better... to me it seems like there is more emotion in this one.. The other i think is a bit too much for me, although it is still an amazing tune :)

[nocturnezero]

I don't like the alternating vocals style, but the emotion in this one is a lot more raw. Still enjoyed it!

[PsychofanGal]

Looove that squeak at the end.

[2011Stephers]

Awesome(:

[xritinyo]

CD version on youtube , yay!

[CleosAintPeter]

The thing I love about this version is how unhinged and unfinished everything sounds in this song.  Sounds like at any second they could just stop playing and have a total mental breakdown.

[WolfPawz10]

This version isnt bad...but i think the other one is much better

[Wiruebermensch]

11 people are an anachronism

[Kadardes]

I can't get over how awesome it is just listening to how batshit crazy she sounds in this song.. there need to be more songs like this one in my opinion.

[DemonYetAngel]

favorite song ever!!!!

[mysecretalterego]

ja-pier-do-le.... <3

[BubblegumJoss]

i want to download THIS version but i cant find it ):

[Cappucc3ttoRosso]

An Insane Version ;) Thank you 

[girlcalledlola]

Love this version better than the album version.

[dolphin64575]

Please excuse her for the day, it's just the way the medication makes her...

[kRuina]

*__*

i hope them will come in Italy VERY SOON.

love dd <3

[blowdry7]

ooooooooooooooooooh different versions

[angrylittlegirl]

This version sounds psychotic. The other one sounds Manic. I like the Manic version more.

[KittyAldora]

@angrylittlegirl I totally disagree. The other version sounds aggressive, this one reminds me of my manic episodes.

[angrylittlegirl]

@KittyAldora You and I have very different experiences of mania, I guess :)

[OMGVaughanniie]

There i go again, dont call the doctor! <3

[Xenanutra]

Omg, this is the version I was looking for. <3 I've had it on a mixed CD from way back in the day and thought it might have been a different person because it sounded different than the video version. I always thought it was a guy singing it. :p

[tkpadilla]

Dontcha hate it when they fuck up the godamn songs?

[AFPisLOVE]

Thanks for uploading!

[fr1zz1y]

I liked the part with adrien brody in it........

[tkpadilla]

I think that's probably the best thing I've heard or saw in a long time. : D I give it like 93,000 stars on a 5 star scale... being an amatuer critique and all. : )

[RayneAsylumFreak]

she changed the words... what were the original words?

[tgrodact]

@RayneAsylumFreak she only changed the first line, the original words or the video words are: you can tell

from the scars on my arms

and cracks in my hips

and the dents in my car

and the blisters on my lips

that i'm not the carefullest of girls

[FilthBandit]

this version is wayyy better

[MostBoringPersonEver]

I like both versions but I think I like this one a little more... At first I hated this version but now I've grown attached to it.

[ad0xa]

I like this vertion better. I would love to know where you got it!

[ajgonemad]

This song is awesome.Everything seems to come from her heart and thats where the best music comes from.She puts alot of feeling into singing this.PLus the lyrics are cool

[dolphin64575]

i ♥ this song

[Blink182Fan16]

I like both the versions.

Love the lyrics from both too.<3

[amazingsierra]

Honestly, I like the album version better. Though the layering voices contain an obviously stronger hint of desperation, I think the quick, broken up lines in the other song make it seem more "hysterical" and "unstable" which is kind of the overall mood I gathered from it. Still, this version is pretty awesome.

[wyldfingers]

Hey i think this version matches with the video better except for maybe the end but if you know the video theres the part when she talks on the phone and in this version her voice sounds like it would though a phone... hmmm?

[theemaestro576]

much better than the album version, I think

[lumburgapalooza]

VERY different from the other version. I really like the multiple voices.

Thanks for posting this.

[PenguinzJoe]

maybe my favorite song <3

[7hundred7dy7]

This version is far superior to the album version.

[lovelyrose414]

wat this song about???

[death6loves6me6]

Its about a type of mental disorder where you believe/or choose to believe that you've gone back in time, like Victorian or medieval.

So they dress in that era and act and try to live like that era.

[lovelyrose414]

thnks.tht makes sense

[DJDizzyness]

Her mother had schedualed a c-section for Amanda to be born earlier than expected since her mother had a fear of birthdays on odd days or what not. And Amanda feels as if she was born a little more 'on time,' she wouldn't be an odd-girl out and such.

Here are lyrics from the song that kind of prove my theory.

"....that they let me out too soon"

"....I was taken out before the labor pains set in...."

"I was too precarious removed as a caesarian...."

[Rekastar]

@DJDizzyness Also, the definition of Anachronism - Out of time. The reference of an occurance that happened at a point in time not congruent with the reference made.

[tokyopop101]

i thought the definition of anachronism was something that went backwards, not something out of time. :|

[AlarminglyEnchanted]

its something out of place.

like using an iphone in the 1930s.

From my experience anachronisms are used in more often in a literary sense.

[BinocularWorld]

@tokyopop Well, you're wrong. Don't use that dumbass, pretentious emoticon again unless you know you're correct.

[tokyopop101]

binocularworld...Can i ask you a question?

Why are you being so bitter?

you could just say "your wrong"

But no, you must be antagonistic.

And how is :| pretentious?

I mean I was just having a pleasant exchange...like a month ago.

[BinocularWorld]

@tokyopop101  Sorry :)

[CosmicKitten89]

@DJDizzyness I think that by "...that they let me out too soon" she means that they let her out of the psych ward too soon ;/

[mintychocho]

@lovelyrose414 Basically it's about a girl with multiple personalities going through normal life... xD or as it looks to be in the Music video

[yruoic]

maturity

Everything Amanda writes is reflective of her own experiences, be it an event or an effect that something else has had on her. This version of Girl A. was originally what she wanted on the CD. Before becoming successful, Amanda was very depressed and hard on herself over a lack of accomplishments. She filled the void with artistic expression (Statue/Theater/Always music). This version of the song reflects her scattered state of mind when she reflected what she should be at her age

[CheeseoholicChloe]

Weirrrd but so brilliant x

[JrFLYnnIV]

Wow, first song in a while that I've had a real reaction to, maybe I'm not dead after all.

[Johnno8358]

not bad. Pretty awesome

[06lchippy]

Love this :Dx

[indigoandgwen]

i love this version!

[roxeebby]

what does "If I were any older I could act my age" exactly mean?

[panicgirl115]

i think that it means that right now she acts like she is an old woman so if she was older she could act like a person of her age

[roxeebby]

oh lol thanks!! been wondering that forever

[FallenShards]

'Anachronism' means from another century, so she's saying she should have been born years ago. So if she were older, she'd be acting her age modern day. If that makes sense.

[JoanIsNotTheMaid]

we know

[deejersthecat]

I wonder what she means by "don't get me wet' I'm not sure if thats literal or.....sexual O.O amazing song no matter what though

[xXxCannotBeLovedxXx]

she means that if you get her wet all her bandages will come of like when you get a bandade wet it comes of

[DiegoSk8Rules]

It's literal, just like xXxCannotBeLovedxXx said... but I get your point xD it's the way she sings it

[Jesus00000000000]

Ehhm, if that was literal it could still be sexual. Different perspectives don't mean that one has to be the literal and another figurate.

[lordbyron24thehero]

I love this version by far the most! I especially like her barking :) But who cares, it really is a matter of opinion! I think it just matters which you heard first. I have both versions . . .

[ShooterSpade]

Wow... it's been a while since I heard this song. I had forgotten how much I love it!

[queenbrooklyn67]

creepy yet wonderful XDD

[DezyRavioli]

It's kind of creepy, especially the opening... But maybe that's just what makes this song so awesome? :) <3 This version

[nothingsafe84]

excellent song!

[raynbow105]

I love this one too! I love the scream at the begining!

[TestaXDizzy]

I actually like this version more. It sounds more practiced, or something? I dunno, I guess I just prefer it.

[skullywully666]

i liked the other versio its faster and makes me want to dance lke crazy xD

[audiho]

Heh, this is the version of the song I'm used to hearing, apart from the live version. I think it rocks.

[EffinPiss]

Me too! First version I heard. [:

[MrCrustation]

WTF happened this sucks what happened too this song

[ThatGuitarChick]

Does anyone know where I can find the other version of this? I found it before while looking for Children of Bodom videos and fell in love with it.. but now I can't find it again!

[sugarcult522]

haha igot the other version off limewire

[EffinPiss]

It's on their album.

[ShaineCoradara]

No it's not, it's a different one on the album, I'm pretty sure. I've missed this version and I listen to the original all the time.

[EffinPiss]

They said the OTHER version, not this one. >_>

[ShaineCoradara]

Ah, gotcha.

[JustForTheDead]

I like both versions, but the other one is deffinitely my favourite.

[compton182]

creepy

[xslerb]

This is the one that I heard first. I've never heard any other one. I love this one though.

[freebrainstorms]

whoa, never heard this version before, it's strange. pleasant but i prefer the other version, it's a little more frantic sounding.

[STACEYLOvesBILLY]

Yeah, same here(:

[XxAcidTears666xX]

Check out their Myspace page, that's where I have to go to listen to the other version. Though, I prefer this one.

[pierrotxthexclown]

You can find the original on google video

[mirrorisallisee]

i love this vesion!!!!

[xXCarolineKayXx]

Te part that says "Just let her crash and burn she'll learn the attention just encourages her." remainds me of my friend. She is a major attention Whore!

[CHICROCK5]

i think i like both versions

this one is undeniably a good version and brings out the songs meaning more but the other version was the one i fell in love with ahh

there both great

[fabiiOLhaxD]

its wonderful

[Aberjan]

i love that little bark at the end.

[reginaholic]

This is the one i originaly fell in love with so its my favorite but I love both!

[drprimate]

why must they stifle unpopular opinions?

[loveyrshotgun]

I prefer this version. She sounds a lot more mad.

[oOMuzicBoxOo]

I like the other version better but this one is still cool =D

[Ominous09]

i like them both man pretty ill

[InfraNova]

I understand what you're saying, but please try and show your opinions in a more mature way.

I also prefer the other version. but this version has some advantages - the intro, and thefact that the whole message of insanity comes across ten fold in this version.

[B10L337H4Z4RD]

Then don't listen to it? The remedy is easier than the senseless comment.

[IFUCKINLOVETEA]

sorry.

[lollieXtrixie]

i think its realy cool that i read Flowers in the Attic beffore listening to this band, and when my sister played them i was like.. woah thats what the carecters in my book are called!...

[lollieXtrixie]

thanks!

[lollieXtrixie]

is the girl and the guy sining this or is it the girls voice and they just did a bunch of takes and put it togother?????? anyone???

[PinkBanana2u]

It's just Amanda singin'.. She did different takes and just put it together.. :)

She's THAT awesome.. xD

[TryNotToSmile]

I've never heard this version before.

i like it, but I kinda like the other one better. It's still good tho

[duhistheword]

It's the version in the music vid.

[drunkinyoda]

i have a different version probably the one where she recorded it herself. it was on a cd i got walking out of edgefest 2005 still i love this song so much and go crazy in the car when i listen to it

[XxJellyBeanSkullsxX]

Is there anywhere I can find a download of this version?

[Pollllypocket]

maybe im just so used to the other one..

[IAmAnEmoNinja]

[LetterbombRadios12]

it's shows much more insanity then the original :]

[xlovexcrissxangelx]

I have this version on my iPod. It's the one limewire gave me lol

I like the other version a lot, but this one is pretty good too.

[spunkythatsme]

I like the other version better. It sounds more... angry. Its faster. This one sounds insane though, i like it too. :)

[littlemisswolfy]

i prefer the other version cuz its faster personally but both are good :D

[bxymox]

This is the only version I've heard, I saw them 2 years ago and this was the way it was always sounded, even live. There was a video for this (not live) on their site back some time ago. It wasn't a bad music video, but I can't find it here.

[UtsukushiiShi]

yeah i looked everywhere like where the fuck is the official vid to this... i thought i was losing it!

[VonniiKP]

i do prefer the other version its the one i grew up with as it were :L xx

[DuneBuggy00]

This was the first version i heard and i like this one much better than the original.

[AlicexCam]

It's different... Trippier.

[entitycrazyentitydif]

Personally, I prefer the other version, it is just crazier, better, helpes you understand the song more

[happybirthdayamelia]

i love this version, makes it sound more like a split personality.. =]

[livingvampyre666]

i think that's the point

[XxLizmoxX]

i like the other one better.

this one just sounds too bleh and it drags.

[crazylatingirl94]

this sounds so bad...

no offense

[ItsRayBetch]

its not bad its great ^_^

[alwaysyouramanda]

it's so.. FLAT

[alwaysyouramanda]

STOP posting your own.

thanks to ppl like you, i can't find the orriginal!!

and i HATE this version.

it's ridiculously ... much

[deadunlucky43]

just put in girl anachronism and click the first one =)

[DressUpAndKillTheTV]

I LOVE this version, I sdont think I've really heard any other, apart from the live

I love the Dolls!

[keleiki6]

OMG I HATE THIS VERSION SO MUCH!

[TashaP1987]

I think I just might like this version bettter.

[blakeheller]

This is the one I always had, when I heard the other "real" version for the first time I Was like WTFFFFFFFFFF but I like them both, awesome song :)

[Gopanda101]

The origional is a lot better than this D:

This one kinda makes me want to punch a baby D:

[EffinPiss]

...this is the original.

._.

[Gopanda101]

Haha, no, it's not.

Youtube doesn't have it but if you go on google and videos you can watch it. It's a lot better than this ^^ so please don't tell me "this is the original" because it's not ^^

Lyrics yes, but the rest nah.

[EffinPiss]

..If you're talking about the one that Amanda recorded herself, then that doesn't really count. This is the original Dresden Dolls version. And you don't have to be snooty with me, k? The one on the album isn't the original version, just so you know. I haven't heard any other version besides this, live, and the one on the album -- and I just searched google, and they don't have what you're talking about, so do show me.

[EffinPiss]

This version came before their studio album one, so. ;x

[angiegirl770]

This is the original. You're prolly talking about the one Amanda recorded herself because this version came out waaay before hers.

[rachiiee101]

wahah this is asuumme lols i hav this on my ipod dident reilise it was not the original or whatever but loove it soo much

[pylon]

speak english you fucking mong.

[Laauuurenn]

I LOVE THIS VERSIONNNN

wayy bettterrr :)

[stareleades]

I adore the dresden dolls EP version

the aaaaaahs and the screams make it

[skapista92]

FRANTIC FRANTIC FRANTIC

[redfoxfan]

My favourite version of this song. By far.

[xXxJTHMxXxMSIxXx]

Did she record two vocal parts seperately and play them together, or was it the acoustics of the place they were recording?

[LoveHateSensation]

I think this is the demo version of the song...I wish I could find the original Dresden Dolls EP. I found their demo version of Half Jack, and another demo song Colorblind on the internet...but I wish I could actually find the EP somewhere and buy it.

[InvaderTaizic]

Freakin'....AMAZING.

[KathyloveCorfitz]

I love this song and this version is also really great.

[weirdduck88]

Sounds like it's from a demo. I like it... but I like the frantic, rushed feeling of the album version.

[luciferious666]

I've never heard this version before. Where is it from??
