Amanda Palmer is truly one of those precious gems that anyone who crosses her, finds themselves a better person for it. She has this amazing ability to make you put everything bad, all this shit, going on around you, to the side, for just a couple of hours. So many times I have found myself on the brink of quitting, only to put her or one of the Dresden Dolls CDs in and, letting their music take me away from it. She is amazing and I am blessed for having been alive during her life.

once again you have managed to make all the bullshit going on around me stop just by one song...thank you thank you

I really, really love the version of this song featuring the Danger Ensemble.

But, oh man, the choir and the orchestra just add something so beautiful and powerful.

In a perfect universe, there would be a magical AFP tour with the DE AND the Boston Pops.

I hate AFP. If I hadn't heard of her a few years ago, I may have never known what it is to be (I think) a "true fan". And that's true, I have my favorite singers, people I admire, but I don't necessarily buy all their CDs, for example, and it has even bothered an ex-girlfriend ^^. But Amanda... she something else. A great singer is not only a voice, it must have everything, and she has everything, her soul scream, and it's music. No other female singer of her generation measure up to her.

Amanda has this way of making me feel ok, despite whatever is happening in my life. Her music keeps me holding onto life when nothing else can. This song makes me smile, cry and feel hope all at once.

This song makes me want to kill myself.

But In a GOOD way !!

:-}

4:13 gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to this song.

I could just watch this vid over and over and over again.

And her father looks sooooo proud! :D

Well I can definitely say that AFP changed my life, I don't know ANY musician who could possibly be compared to her.
