Lyrics --
Sitting aimlessly, I saw a lady green
and lilac as the heather
She said, “I am the queen of the underneath,
I have no place in heaven
But I’ve come to visit to look for you
if you follow me, you’ll see what I can do
I’m awfully busy, I must go soon
But if you allow me, I’ll take you too
Step up start the to and froing
Take my hand we’ll get going
The wind will take us where it’s blowing
Come on let’s sway
For seven years below the flowers
I will teach you all my powers
Years will pass as if they’re hours
Let’s get away
When you return from me
they’ll say that you have been
dreaming this ordeal
They’ll call it make believe
cos they don’t see
a dream made all that’s real
They know so surely
what’s real and not
I know when we’re dancing
all the world’s made up
Is our time finite
or infinite?
I know when we’re dancing
time is definite
Get up start the to and froing
Find that step that gets you going
The wind will take us where it’s blowing
Come on let’s sway
For seven years below the flowers
I will teach you all my powers
Years will pass as if they’re hours
Let’s get away

Most underrated music ever and words i love it, thank you a great big fan now💗💟❤💟💗
I have no idea why this showed up on my feed but whichever calculation in the algorithm sent it to me was made by god
The green lady provides. 🙌
God is the machine.
Same
same. 🧚🏻♂️🧝🏼♀️🤍✨
I concur ✨
a gay friend group and a dream
It really is like one of those perfectly gay and weird nights
as it should be
😮😂🤣
🙏
There is nothing i love more than amazing content made with almost no budget. Please never change
You should look at Ships in the night
S A M E
I think the budget is there...light customs scenarios....let's say it's a good video with less excess.
This is quite possibly the BEST interpretation I've ever seen of someone being abducted by the fae... Even the title makes me think of those old folk tales, where someone is dancing for only 7 minutes but it turns out they were gone from the human world for 7 years
Scandinavian Huldra folk tale.
Thank you for all the support! This is so nice ❤
❤
💖💖💖
💜
It's so very deserved, I'm glad all this good work is getting attention! 💖🎉
Thank you for making your art 🙏🏻🙌🏼❤️
80's Kids Activated 🧚🏻♂️🧙♂️🪄
Lunatic much? What time is it?
Right? I expected Micheal Alig to pop out of a corner.
Kate Bush would be proud! Catchy sound for suree
Couldn’t agree more, well said! 👏
Yes
some what bit tame for Kate
This my friends is actual art and I'm so happy it was sent my way. The internet can be such a magical place. Keep it up Luki, you've got a subscriber for life!
Alright, guess I live here now. No point looking at anything else for a while, this is the best thing I'm going to find all day. 💖
When I found this video I watched it 3 time in a row :)
Ditto❤
Yep.
College group project didn't have to slay this hard
somewhere in a parallel world, Jareth the Goblin King is listening to this jam
seriously, this is great art, bravo. Beautiful voice, cool production. CZcams remains the best of the dying giant platforms for its continued ability to surface things like this that aren't driven by a major corporate advertising agenda. Thank you faithful algorithm!
I absolutely *love* that your brain took you to “The Labyrinth” too. 👏🙌
This is mushroom trip approved 🍄
I wonder if youtube spying on me hearing me talk about taking melmec shroom dust last night is why this is being shown to me.
This perfectly captures the feeling you get when hearing stories about the fae, 10/10
What a magickal random video I just watched. I want to dance with Persephone!
Please 👑🐝🦌🦇💀🌻✨
This randomly showed up on my CZcams feed.
Uniquely interesting artsy content going on here.
Thanx
Like others, I arrived here due to CZcams putting it in my feed. Awesome. This is going to be a hit.
Makes me think of that miniseries "Neverwhere".
It's got that late 90s aesthetic.
I've had this song on loop for 2 hrs now. Such a vibe when I am out planting native plants this season!!
100% my fairy taste. Thanks CZcams. Thank you... Luki
A pleasant surprise that this found it's way to me.
It gives me the vibes of the fantasy movies from my childhood (Legend, Labyrinth, Dark Crystal, The NeverEnding Story, Princess Fantaghiro etc.)
Good times.
This captures a vibe that's very hard to describe but I very much am addicted to. Love it!
I don't know why youtube suggested to me that I'd like it
But damn, it was RIGHT
I love the music, the lyrics and the retro style visuals
You guys did a great job!
“That is the most obvious fae trap I have ever seen”
It's giving iamamiwhoami vibes and i'm here for it! Beautiful job, love from Brazil
When the trees move in the wind behind the fairy @1:20 gives me chills. Beautiful voice, creative idea, and reminds me as others have said of a late 70's to early 80s fantasy movie you would have been enraptured with as a child, very niche vibe with a nostalgic flavor.
This is FIRE 🔥 I, the emperor, call for break-core and liquid dnb remixes.
This might be the most British thing I've ever seen.
(And I watched all of super supers go, so that's saying something).
Has such an amazing 80's fantasy television show vibe. Love it Luki.
This is the best thing CZcams has recommended me in years
Same
I saw the thumbnail and has to know what this was. Thanks for stealing me away! This is beautiful and the music is 😘👌🏽 I feel like I'm in my years below the flowers, so this resonates so very much. 🧚
This randomly came up on my youtube homepage, and I'm so glad that it did. The song is awesome and the video is so unique. I love it. I can't wait to see more of your work.
I have been obsessed with this song for a week. It's so beautiful and the lyrics are really captivating. You definitely have a new fan!
A thought I just stumbled across a new Mighty Boosh episode
Right? This isn't Old Greg?
YES 💓
I JUST COMMENTED THIS 😂😂😂
my feed was blessed
Everything about this brings my poet-soul joy!! I’ve never had the fortune before of stumbling across a hidden gem like this video so close to its release, it feels like I was meant to happen upon it. Immediate subscribe, thank you for sharing such magic and vision in your music 🌻💖
This was a transcendently beautiful song and video. Thank you for making it :)
Truly magical to watch and listen 🧚🏼♀️
This is so gorgeous, keep it up, such a beautiful sound and the visuals are perfectly uncanny and ethereal!
This is so wonderful that you forget the low budget and just get caught up in the magic of it all. You can really tell that everyone involved wanted to be there. The music and the visuals combine together to make the perfect vibe. It honestly low-key reminds me of Bats For Lashes’ “Daniel” video in terms of how well it sells the Fae.
10/10 would spend seven years under the flowers again
its giving bearcraft, its giving paris paloma, its giving kiki rockwell, its giving aeseaes, im living for it and added it to my witchy playlist. so glad the music gods left this on my feed today
today is my day off, I wanted to be alone, I planted a tree. this video randomly appeared on youtube. it's night and I'm dancing
I feel like I've heard this before but I haven't. Love new nostalgia
Knew this was going to be an amazing video from the thumbnail... But was not expecting to find my vapor wave jam of the summer. I'm a blast this everywhere I go.
So glad I found this randomly, lovely video, even lovelier song
the synchronized dancing in the beginning is so gorgeous - gives me OA vibes. but then again duh you're an angel
Thank you, CZcams, for suggesting this video to me. I'll be listening to your other tracks for sure!
A new Luki! Great. And this one is equal parts whimsy and mystery, woth serious retro vibes to boot. Life's good (as well as inintelligible).
I love fantasy things. This is perfect.
BEST RANDOM CLICK OF THE YEAR SO FAR
it felt like inviation to the Fae Land from Artemis. Great work!
precisely
This is amazing! I feel transported- let’s hope it reaches more ears
Amazing song, beautifully presented. Just the right amount of whimsy. Love it 💖
Gonna play this on my radio show this week. 💝
Amazing! Thanks
Ofc!! 💝💐🌱
I can't stop listening to it! Here and on Spotify. One of the best tracks of 2024 for me and I dig through 100s of new music every month across many genres from artists new, emerging and commercially established. THIS IS THE SOUND THE VIBE please please explore this more even if it's just for one album. Also all videos going forward must also involve Fiontasia, they're mind blowing. All the best with your career and hope to heàr more in future ❤
Great work! I love the music and the video is wonderfully dreamt up. Cheers from the end of time!
I also don't know why the algorithm brought me this, but i love it! Thank you! 💖
I don't think this came to me randomly. I think I was meant to hear it and I will go with the queen. Love the line "a dream made all that's real."
This is so oddly mesmerizing. Especially the group choreo. I can't stop watching/ listening/ sharing. I'm glad this exists.
Listening on repeat. New fan!
That was fantastic. I think my wife might really like this song too, I'll have to show her.
Whoah. This took me by surprise. Music and video both captivating.
This song is so good, so magical, so dancable, so artistic. I've never heard of you before, now i love you dearly for this creation.
Lots of delight and a dervish for everyone ❤❤❤
This has been lodged tight in my brain since the first listen, and I wouldn't have it any other way
If this don't blow up, I'm a riot.:p
truly captivating, in love with this song 🌷🌷💚💚🍄🍄
Reminds me of princess fantaghiro
the production on this track gives my brain the good chemicals
This makes me think of that myth where the night gets lured into a cave by a queen and hangs out there in a hedonistic daze for a few years, but it only feels like hours. I heard about it on a tarot podcast but can't remember the name of the night or the queen. Perhaps you are singing about this myth!
Tam Lin seems familiar to that. Is that the right one?
Just cause this song and comment reminded me of this: our modern concept of time isn't just variable by location across Earth as a surface but also by relative altitude. As you approach a gravitating mass your experience of time is said to dilate such that the above mentioned experience might be our brains reverse engineering what's happening to us on a physical level. You go into the cave, where time slows down, so hours on Earth is years on the moon.
Cool how scientific the abstractions of the mind can be
Thomas the Rhymer
I thought it was the silver chair
you can tell they have a love for 80s new wave
This is incredible!! Instant sub. I’m gonna be thinking about this all week
It's giving Old Gregg but musical and forest instead of water - I live 🎉
My mother passed away 7 years ago . " years will pass as if there hours " 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Glad the algorithm was on my side today. This reminds me of Yaz/Yazoo. ❤
Thank you Luki for this magickal musical masterpiece 🙌
Absolutely incredible
Okay mother, thank you for this gift-- I'll have another
yo what the helll!? very david bowie from labyrinth vibes! my favorite movie! i love this!!!
I'm OBSESSED YALL
Wow, fantastically sublime
This was scary good! I was so captivated by this video despite never seeking out songs 4 minutes or longer. The scenery and the lyrical and visual story telling are just gorgeous! It made me feel so nostalgic for movies of my childhood like Princess and the Goblin, Narnia, Neverending Story, and more!
This was an adventure. Throughly enjoyed the video and the lyrics to the song. Transported me away from this awful world to somewhere magical for just a few minutes. Thank you.
I have played this on repeat for two days, I need more LUKI!
My friends and I have started a monthly Fairy Festival and this is very much in the same vein!
THIS IS AWESOME
Love it ❤
Stunning, watching this gave me actual chills!
THIS IS AMAZING
My kind of party
i absolutely love the music video. hand-made decorations and costumes, makeup and facial expressions remind me of a theatre club. the song is absolutely captivating. my new favorite. you guys did an amazing job 🫀
The algorithm directed me here, but I just had to exclaim that this rules
now this is reaching the right people I loveeeeeeee this, the video and the singing and dancing and music ugh its fabulous
Best song of the year! There is hope after all, thank you sharing.
This is Magic!
Truly magical. Vulnerable. Resonates. Thank you ❤
Oh God, this is a major earworm.
Love it 🙂
Wow, CZcams, thanks for bringing me here!
I feel lucky listening to this song from Luki
Love this! Beautiful job ❤
I'm gonna be thinking about this a lot.
