![Caroline Polachek - Welcome To My Island [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/hxgcz_6GKX0/mqdefault.jpg)
I felt it when she sang “A”
Bruh
I felt that "O"
@0:49
that “♪” hit hard though
same.........
I feel like I’m seeing something I’ve already seen in my childhood in a dream state
I have this feeling constantly
I came here to say that.
damn, you described this perfectly!! it gives the same vibes to me as Video Killed The Radio Star, and this is the reason.
Maybe that’s what Amanaemonesia means
Ironic considering the lyrics
Wait, I'm like "i swear this is Caroline Polachek" and it is ! mega gagged !
WHAT??? IS HER?
Funny how her solo music is blowing up more than Chairlift did
Pedro Luiz yes ! i looked her up on wiki to confirm
wait? WHAAAAAT
same lol
How does one even come up with a song like this
eternalscorpio they listen to Kate Bush
Mistaken for magic.
drugs
@@katw4872 Chasing the rabbit ;p

This is like the textbook example of perfect synthpop.
The part of the chorus where she sings "ahhhh ahhh ahhhh ahhhhh" goes OFF 🙌🏽🔥
Q paso weon
A
ª
That part of the chorus does not exist. You may mean "bridge".
Bruh that's the whole song
Me: I have amanaemonesia.
Doctor: Do you mean amnesia?
Me: *I can't remember.*
セアーヤクリスチャン you‘re a genius😂😂💥
Me: A
comment of gold !!
Lmao!!
Caroline's solo career slaps but this is still EASILY among the best tracks she's ever done/been a part of.
I wish she started to play it live again!!!
She won't ever top this moment.
@@erickent4248seems quite limiting eh?
@@erickent4248 i knew of her, but i had no idea she was in a band, and this is way better than anything else i've heard by her...
I introduced my Dad to Chairlift at age 63 and he adored them (and Caroline in particular) until he passed away in 2017. He was the only person above 30 I knew who liked Chairlift, lol. This was his favorite song by them. Wish he'd be around to see Caroline having a real moment in the sun rn.
I saw her perform LIVE. She opened for Dua and has been KILLING it as a solo artist. Your dad would be proud.
There were a couple of us "olds" at her concert in San Francisco on Halloween in 2021. She was dressed as Marie Antionette. The two of us found each other by the rail. We both danced our butts off and high-fived each other at the end.
I'm the same age as your dad was, and I just happened upon this video and your comment. So consider me watching on your dads behalf.
I'm 44 and this is my favorite band!
My age is > 40, and I like them
i will never accept the fact this was released in 2011, this is the true definition of being ahead of your time
Martina Paladino but this is very retro how is it ahead of the time?
@@HejSofia no one was doing obscurelu retro influenced stuff in 2011, that came later in the decade
@@louschwick7301 maybe, but there’s also geneva jacuzzi
@@louschwick7301 this is one of the wildest things i've ever read on youtube and i've seen a lot
@@louschwick7301 ??? Not talking about sound quality but the video was clearly made to look like it’s from the 90s or late 80s. People have always done this. It just became a more fashionable recently
I’m a truck, the old man who drives me is fucking insane and memorized this entire choreography
You need to post it up, I'd love to see him in action 🤣
Is he 54 year old?
Quick, tell me where he is!
...
So I can help you, of course.
Does he drive you insane though?
Dash cam footage or it didn't happen
“Just leave alone the geminis”, thanks for heads up
karynn when you're a gemini...
She is a Gemini. I am too. People give us a hard time.
This Gemini approves.
@@richardscott3442 People literally drag us after they learn we're gemini lol
She’s right!
this is absolutely 10 years ahead of it's time. periodt.
And 40 years late too
How is this ahead it’s time when a lot of electronic music had a similar sound especially daft punk discovery, and that came out 18 years ago
it is
Must be ucronia then
@@keenjones8840 for people born now this is the future lol
"A"
“🎵”
"O"
Chairlift's Caroline Polachek explained the song's meaning: "'Amanaemonesia' is about irresponsibility and guilt, combined with confusion and anarchy and being very small in a sea of a big population.
so, that 2020 feeling
I don't think that's actually the meaning. It seems like a blatant, apparent meaning and that isn't related at all
I’d like to think it’s about New Wave Religion anyway.
2020 = clear vision
If enough people use it, it could actually become a word. I see amanaemonesia as the feeling I get when I spend too much time looking for videos on my youtube feed.
this just unlocked a childhood memory of being lost in an art gallery and watching 80s interpretive dance/ performance art pieces on a tiny screen
This is one of those bands where even if you are a musician yourself you have no idea how you would come up with a song like this, it's so uncanny!
uncanny?
+Meredith Easterling Yep, as in lacking cans :B
Mark Arandjus Is it officially uncanny?
Anhell Hana Hah!
Mark Arandjus Absolutely!
The SILVER HOURS bit in the choreography is EPIC
fight montage in the "mistaken for magic" bit
My 2nd favorite part after the twirling fingers...and I guess I forgot the little booty shake also!
I like her little hoppin' feetsies!
A LSD reference maybe? And it's amazing
I memorized all the lyrics and the whole dance. This is a skill most can't understand.
えみこ I’m my country we call this extreme boredom
In my country we call this heroism
i don't get it
I would pay to see that
You should watch bolero by sylvie guiilem
so thats why she dances like that in so hot ur hurting my feelings mv huh
Oh shit that's her?
Omg, I'm thinking the same
@@nah656 yes
@@nah656 yep. She went solo!
Diane Aisha Monday her husband still produces it
This is hypnotically weird.
Yeah!
in such a good way
I'd say it's weirdly hypnotic!
This Squidward-ass shit was my jam in college, and it’s still my jam today.
i love her squidward cosplay 😍
take my weird upvote
I can't believe this came out when I was in 5th grade, while I listened to lmfao songs
Cloud City lmao 😂
Lunar Boof is you icon supposed to move because for me it does in the inbox page of CZcams
The “chasing the rabbit” move is so good.
she's a really good dancer.
Definitely is. There's other videos where she dances and it's bonkers too.
Watch so hot you’re hurting my feelings!
Good is an understatement
Omg not at all
She has the artistry but not the technique😂
do I like this? I can't tell oh my god but I just keep listening
I'm a male powerlifter and did this dance step in a club once back in 2013.
i love that!!
if the "peel the avocado" video and the "I'm your freestyle dance teacher" has a love child, this would be it
Yeah just put in the mix someone who can actually dance
LMFAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Is Marvelous what she makes with the original abstract choreography of Maurice Béjart for the Ravel's Bolero in 1960, taking steps and adding new ones (value with it), she really adapted it to this song making something diferent. I love it!
Wow, thanks for that, didnt see that before. It does resembles Bolero.
You all commented about really feeling the "A" but the "O" really hits different for me
Caroline Polachek has such unique phrasing and control. Adore her voice
Discovering this band is the 2nd phase of the Polachek religion. I'm glad I got here.
It's my goal to learn the dance
LeslieXvideo How far did you get with your goal?
we are trying so badly but we are too fabolous for this 😁
Good luck my friend, on this vast and dangerous journey
Then study the original abstract or contemporaneous choreography of Maurice Béjart for the Ravel's Bolero in 1960, is where she takes from, most of her movements in this dance.
Same
This is a splendid video concept - I took her for a highly skilled proffesional dancer - but then I learned from an interview that she is no dancer at all, but studyed several dancemoves and put them together for this video - this is anamanamazing accomplishment . And on top of it all - her voice and the soundtrack is awsome !
This girl was BFFs with my little cousin when they were like 12 or so. So crazy to see her all grown up and famous.
Super cool! Is she as down to earth as she seems?
she's my sister, she says hi to all of you guys
o
@@zerg47 really?
I am the guy whose tongue she's dancing on as a pill and she says hi to y'all
This is some of the dopest choreography I’ve ever seen.
The real way to make a indie vid
This sounds like someone wrote a song using text prediction.
You stole this
Cimeries I
It’s an original thought 💭
I suppose you’ve come across someone who thinks like me or vise versa.
@@sammmuela6759 bobs I will perform the test tomorrow evening 🌃 as well and will SUCK THE BOBBIES OFF INDIA TSERIES HAY PEWDIEPIE LOVE LOVE 😍
Cimeries I
Oh I see what you did there.
I have gathered more information about you than I’d like to.
@@sammmuela6759 love
I love being reminded every once in a while of just how good Chairlift was. Glad to see Caroline killing it solo nowadays.
She was PERFECT at iii points
Revisiting this after seeing Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights" for the first time. Definitely seeing some inspiration now. Kate and Caroline are both amazing, visionary artists. So glad I exist in a time where I can experience both their work.
Seems like a song that would be made in 2019.
holy shit, you're right - I assumed it was made recently until I saw the date
That or 1980s 'cause the last few years have had strong 80s vibes in some videos/songs I heard/saw growing up.
@@MyWorld-zw6oe nice
We do a lot of recycling
@@MyWorld-zw6oe yes true
9 years ago?!? This song still haunts me every time someone says Amnesia. I work as a nurse so you can imagine...
CZcams algorithm: "Here's a 9 year old track from an artist you've never heard of. You'll love it. Trust me."
Me: "Damn. Spot on."
Check out her solo stuff! She just put out an album a year and a half ago.
I became a huge fan of Caroline's solo work and now I'm looking into her previous years. And my god I've been missing a lot
I came here by myself.
The algorithm disagrees
@@1jkbl The algorithm doesn't account for hipsters that first listened to this in 2012
snowprinceintardis Same
The spiritual daughter of Kate...
This song is great.
The Pourfendeur kate who? bush? sorry im uncultured
Yeah, Kate Bush, there's such a vibe in this song.
Facts
Check out her recent song billions
It's got big kate vibes to it
Well, this is what she ended up doing: Kate Bush
I'm seriously obsessed with this. This like from another world.
Same thought here!
I cannot beleive that that is CAROLINE POLACHEK!!! THAT IS AWESOME
There is something so addictive about this beautiful song.
Omg when they zoomed in on her but hahaha I'm dying
I'm low-key obsessed with this song and video. Everything about this is just so good
The "silver hour" is a concept used to describe the unique needs of patients in the time just preceding their death and the needs of their family immediately upon the patient's death
Rebecca Bird is the artist who painted Patrick Wimberly for this video. Dunno why she's not credited here. She also painted the album cover for _Moth._
Though I haven't a clue what this song is about, I love her voice and I love her dancing - great video.
I think it's about Geminis
I'm pretty sure it's about drugs
I thought it was about sea anemones!
Mistaken for magic...
i know what it's about but don't want to get bumped off
when I discovered chairlift years back, I knew Caroline was gonna be recognized and celebrated at some point in her career... fast forward to 2023, seems like it's happening !
that finger wiggle to punch combo.. i really feel that, amazing
Every time I chew gum, this is what I imagine my gum doing, then I somehow realize that I remember that every time only to have a small episode of amnesia in a moment of time
The definition of dance like no one is watching
This popped up as a suggestion because I watched a video of someone saving someone from a faulty chairlift..Thank god for CZcams and algorithms. I never would've seen this...and since I have I can't stop watching or listening. 👍❤ I'd also like to say as someone with OCD..I love the geometric shapes and perfect synchronicity in the dance.. probably why I cannot NOT watch lol
I want her as my freestyle danceteacher
me, seeing Caroline Polachek in concert: i wonder if she was always this weird
me, watching old Chairlift videos: okay no she used to be even weirder
I got to buy a spandex suit and try dancing like this sometimes
Nuude: the freeeist dance st;yl
I’m gonna assume all my binge watching/listening to Grimes and Aurora music is what led CZcams to recommend this to me, and honestly? I couldn’t be happier. I’m a fan.
When she said “A”
I felt that.
Ease your way into the day with this synthpop ballad..
Rest of the album is pretty great too.
I see her doing 3:32 in my head everytime I get to that part of the song, I can't help it! Love her dancing
Hahaha, me too. I want to memorize this dance so bad because of that ONE MOVE
haha this was seven years ago that's funny i think
Ok but why is no one talking about how this song is about geminis and that we should stay away from them cuz their boats are full of flames but we think they're some magical creatures and get amnesia and still love them somehow
Makes perfect sense to me
Yeah makes sense
'cuz it ain't
cant tell if ur joking or taking the song literally
@@T3H8 lol
These guys really did something timeless
Well, I am thoroughly impressed.
Love. love it. love this song. love the clip. love the lyrics. love the choreography. love everything about this so much. exhaling contentedly.
I just dont think Caroline or any of Chairlift can even miss! Nothing but bangers
Caroline is a piece of ART
Love the interpretative dancing in this, and those surreal lyrics are fantastic
Outstanding track. Quirky, but outstanding. These guys are brilliant. My new favorite.
It’s a beautiful song and at the same time a display of total control over every note and sound
Completely hooked by her performance!
When my cat is about to throw up on the carpet 1:46
LMAO
I fucking screamed
Dying
HA
akdjks thE LAUGH I let out lmaoo, so accurate
And there she is, the greatest dancer the world has ever seen.
It's so refreshing to watch dance videos from before tiktok.
I like how Polachek has been always out of any box; she's picked to pitch of satisfactory
the coolest video tbh
I'm so in awe of all of Carolyne's work, but I may always love Chairlift best.xoxoxo
I love it when she sings "A"
Iconic tbh
this is really beautiful
I have been watching this video for at least 6 years and I never gave it a thumbs up, due to the video and song being so wonderful I never leave full screen. forever one of my all time favorite bands.
she is so incredibly talented. i adore this choreography
Why isnt this trending again, i love it pls ;-;
The world is still not ready for this song
Chairlift was so ahead of their time, bruises is still a bop
the way she drags her breath and vocals is so beautiful
Lovely ....ideas.. tune, choreography ... voice ... pure art of love ....
Caroline, your artistry nourishes me so well. Thank you.
This doesn't feel like 2011, this is ahead of it's time
Loving it
This came out while i was in the most traumatic and stressful job of my entire life, every job has been easy since. Made life easier to tolerate so that I didn't die by my own shaking hand, anyway I rate this album 3/5
Congrats on this video getting its well deserved million views. Such an under-appreciated gem
Mesmerizing. Really cool.
Great now I have to listen to ALL of your music!!!
There is so much art in this
