Ah Aldous’ earlier, hatless works
LLOOLL!!!!! duuuude that´s killing me, niccce!:)
Your comment has been flagged for hat speech.
😂😂😂
Look at all the peaches
hahahahahaah, I think she lost herself in the character.
Maybe, the, best song I've ever heard, in 51 years.
It's pure art
THANK YOU 4AD for being a steady reliable rock of a label with so many of my favorite artists for the last 35 years of my life.
The "hey" part is so good. Gives me goosebumps
One of those songs that can make you spontaneously burst into tears
ice la honk absolutely, every time
This is the most beautiful song I've heard in a long time. It perfectly captures vulnerability and honesty and the complexity of these lives we live and relationships we navigate. I hope if somehow Aldous ever reads these comments she knows how much that honesty is appreciated and how badass her music is!!
boy howdy
Reminds me of Kate Bush
My heart scream
When you not there
The pain .forget it i accidently hit cancel
My love poem cease n desist
Minaj n cardi wil never get deep
One big binder with words all they use
Why the music make no sense
I love her music and words, she is like a sister in my headphones when I'm down. Aldous Harding and Kurt Vile... I'm all good in this world.
holy shit what an awesome comment, thank you for this nice read friend
I love this song; it's beautiful.
I love her voice, the range, and her singing style.
And Aldous looks stunning.
You're not so bad yourself.
"I do not have the answer." When Miss Harding sings that specific line with sudden, unexpected, bewitching and truly eerie grace, the hairs on the back of my neck prickle while my eyes begin to well up. Convention has been twisted out of shape. An achingly beautiful narrative upon jaded melancholic reflection.
Aldous Harding - Is - Evocative
"Imagining My Man"
I'm going to answer, protecting
It can be so hard to forgive
It's not what I thought, and it's not what I pictured
When I was imagining my man
You are so nervous all of the time, living the classics
I know that imagining my man
Imagining, imagining my man
All my life (hey!) I've had to fight to stay
You were right, love takes time, hey, hey
You have this dream, apparently I'm not done
I leave and it's dreadful
If you get there
Be honest, respectful
All my life (hey!) I never tried to stay
You were right, love takes time, hey, hey
I hope one dream will get that when we're
Lucky to be given the chance
I do not have the answer
But I don't have the wish to go back
All my life (hey!) I've had to fight to stay
You were right (yes!), love takes time, hey, hey
All my life (hey!) I've had to fight to stay
You were right, love takes time, hey, hey
She reserves her vocal power then creates an emotional highlight on this very fine ballad.
There's so many layers of subtlety to this song. It's like a different song every time I listen to it.
The music video is brilliantly understated. No grandstanding. Just enough singing of the words. Manages to get great presence out of the performer. A big clap for the director doing magic work on a shoestring.
Director: Charlotte Evans
Any director who can make Auckland look that good must have some talent.
@@rfrasernz lol here i've been, thinking it's LA
1:32 she hit that note so hard I dropped all my fucken tears
Shivers every time
Something about her reminds me of Nina Simone. Dangerously close to madness but still somehow able to give the comfort of an ever loving mother
Yes!!!
Or Hope Sandoval perhaps
Try Kate Bush.
If i had to choose a different than my own mother (actually the best in the world) i would try Kate. She is someone you can have lots of fun with, and she is so lovely and nice. My father would be in this case Nick Cave. Also there's Florence Welch from Florence & The Machine, she is like a Mixture of Aldous Harding and Kate Bush. She should be my sister.
10/10 comment
Aldous has two sides, one that is zany and makes entertaining, comical videos and this side with an incredible voice and more serious...I really like them both
This song touches me deeply and in an unexplicable way. Love the Tiny Desk Concert version.
This song is absolutely stunning
Brilliant video.
A miserable rainy day in Auckland, shot entirely from inside a car.
Intense melancholy and beauty all at once.
Humble genius in my opinion.
big congrats to the Director.
Not even the particularly nice parts of the CBD.
No seat belt but!
Watching her face as she performs this: seemingly not for the camera but for herself, for the joy of it... Is such a privilege
Absolutely sublime, what a voice
this song is so dreamy.. the sax at the end is absolutely gorgeous
Reminiscent of Spiritualized’ Laser Guided Melodies.
You were right love takes time.
Says it all . Great line
uber 5 star
hah!
I love this song so much. It has been such a source of healing for me recently.
Also, I get to see her tomorrow 😌
One of the best artists that occured this decade. What a voice! Bravo 🙌
This is the weirdest Ferrero Rocher ad I've ever seen. ;)
Mr. Pandabites ahahhahaha
lol
God bless you, Mr Pandabites.
You WIN THE INTERNET 😆😆😆
🤣🤣🤣
thank you so much, your music has been and still is holding my hand through the heaviest change of my life..
You gave me grace and strength and smiles when my mind got so lost
❤
︙
Truly gifted at the music
I think she is one of the greatest artists. Incredible person all around
Aldous Harding music is a safe place to me, it makes me feel like I don't need to look for achievement all the time, and allows my heart to rest :)
LOVE THIS VIDEO! Dressed up woman singing in the backseat of a taxi and eating chocolates on a rainy day!
This is definitely my favorite music video from her. It's so simple and relaxing.
She looks stunning here. Interesting dichotomy between her and the cold, drab empty shots of the city she's travelling through.
everybody on here can stop comparing her to other legends because she is her own legend. If you watch her perform live it may occur to you that there is nobody like her
Nikola Pepera I have seen her perform live-transcendent
Nikola Pepera nobody do that, who are you? troll?
The comparisons get on my nerves, too. But when you taste something wonderful, there is that need to describe it right?
She is absolutely one of a kind
That occured to me long ago. However, tomorrow night I shall see Aldous live to be sure )))
Thank you so much for capturing these emotions in such a wonderful melody with the words I couldnt find.
This song is a MASTERPIECE!
Reminds of indie music from 2007 like something special was about to happen, it sounds like being a young adult new to the city.
the HEY! and then the ... hey...hey... are both so surprising and seem out of place or awkward but then they end up really making this song.
Yess they're so jarring and amazing
That's the magic that is Aldous.
Yeah the first time I heard it I was like “whoa that came of nowhere”. I was outside and I looked around thinking someone was trying to get my attention lol!
"Party", this whole album moved me to tears.
A cpl years later, and she's in my top 3 female singers of all time.
Love me some Aldous. ;)
Far out, it's nice seeing dirty old Auckland in really cool music video.
She is so beautiful. Same class as Sofia Coppola, Charlotte Gainsbourg, and other ladies in the league of effortless beauty.
hilmir you forgot cardi b
@@bobrossantichrisst oh im not familiar with this artist. i dont know her.
Sofia Coppola came to mind immediately for me as well after seeing Aldous in this. Both of those ladies are legit muses too...
hilmir I was joking. Cardi b is an example of toxicity, as far as her public persona
@@bobrossantichrisst i knew u were kidding. hence mariah carey's response about jlo 😁😁😁
This lady has outstanding vocal range. Just discovered her. I will be getting this album. Obscure astonishing music. An awesome talent. Party is up there with the other two I've heard
Everything Daniel said ...
New Zealand - Love the new spark ad feat this song! Really helps to feel the emotion of a fatherless family - Big ups to single parent families, it ain't easy at all.
There are so many great Artists releasing really great work right now. It´s so heartening.
Brilliant song. Stripped back, raw & haunting. In Love.
i'm going to answer...protected
it can be so hard to forgive
it's not what i thought
and it's not what i pictured
when i was imagining my man
all my life (hey)
i never tried to stay

love takes time, hey hey
you have this dream
apparently, i'm not done
i leave and it's dreadfull
if you get down
be honest, respectful
all my life (hey)
i never tried to stay
you were right
love takes time, hey hey
i hope one dream we'll get that way
lucky to be given a chance
i do not have the answer
but i don't have the wish to go back
all my life (hey)
i had to fight to stay
you were right (yes)
love takes time, hey hey
all my life (hey)
i had to fight to stay
you were right
love takes time, hey hey
sadderdaze a
Ty💋💕
Thank you
Abusive can't see themselves
Hate aches hate hates
Listened to it, half slept, 4 am, earphones, ... and I woke up suddenly, I took the lyrics and rushed to internet. Wonderful song.
I just... LOVE you Aldous, really GREAT music, Great voice, Great personal univers and so on... Kisses from REUNION island, I just wanted to be close to your People and your Nation THIS DAY particularly... Kisses and COURAGE to all of you !
I believe Ivo would have approved of this 4AD signing. When I come across an act like this I almost cry. In the 80’s and 90’s I knew I could buy anything on 4AD, and not be disappointed. Since Ivo left; not so much.
Aldous, The National, The Breeders (yes!), Scott Walker, big thief, pixx, Velvet Negroni (the new AR Kane?) and, maybe, Grimes are the true heirs of the great 4AD past, specially The National, Big Thief and Aldous Harding. There is a lot trash on 4AD these days (us girls, turn yards, liima, etc). I really don't know what to think about Holly Herndon (an oddity, that's for sure). 4AD is really big today. Almost all of its releases goes to UK official charts (and, sometimes, us charts). 4AD and Matador and XL are under the same umbrella today (Beggar's Group). So, in practical terms, Adele, underground American acts and Aldous Harding are all in the same boat. A rich one. 4AD is now a very lucrative business. The days of the artsy fartsy (like Robin Guthrie from Cocteau Twins said a certain time) are definitely in the past. We don't have Factory and Creation anymore. And BMG is considered indie in UK. VERY different times, anyway...
Immaculate! 4AD made no mistake! Aldous is just amazing! Absolutely.
Absolutely gorgeous, the mood the lyrics, everything
She's in my top 3.
Nothing like Aldous.
her work is outstanding and beautiful
Hitting that difficult middle ground right between ecstacy and white knuckled terror.
I am loving his trinity of youth, poetry, and sound. It fits like warm glove ... as does the company he keeps.
Christine Webb his?
@@Johannastairwellstudio I wondered the same.
I continue to return to this video. I love it so. Aldous is a super star. right up there w Joni, Dolly and Amy.
Hey, this song feels like summer rain. And btw, never seen an other artist that puts lyrics into images with such a sensibility!
Simply one of my absolute favorite people at this point. With or without music.
She can manage to be homely, bizzare, sexy and jaw dropping gorgeous without missing a beat. Absolute aesthetic chameleon on the level of Bowie.
Perfect analogy
Beautiful, Classy, Just freaking stunning...
her voice like a dream
Well Said ;-)
no it's not
really really love this song - wonderful voice, and great arrangement
The more I hear of this artist the more I think that she is really special.
What raw talent.... Superb!
Diarmuid Cahill "raw" :/
Absolutely love it. Such a talent and beauty. With all that emotion and honesty. Thank you for sticking with music instead of becoming a vet.
Randomly found this song on spotify and it is so goddamn intriguing!
I LOVE YOU ALDOUS.
THANK YOU.
You are a game changer.
such a tune . I love Aldous Harding. One of the greats of our time xxx
very dark yet makes me want to hear more~ also that creme egg
sickest song ive heard in a long time, i love this girl
Got an emotional tone and quality like Antony and the Johnsons
Favorite song she's written
I'm so in love with her voice and song writing
One of my favorite albums for 2017 and I love the vocal range in different parts of the song.
Beautiful!!!
Such a beautiful song💖
absolutely ADORE HER
I heard this live recently and I put it up there with the best of the best
Epic, exceptional.
I'm in love with this girl. Seriously she is perfect. So talented. And to me she is physically perfect.
She has the "it" factor. Finally, some good music again in a sea of oversaturated indie pop car commercial music.
Without doubt the finest artist around. I still return to this video as my go to. Aldous, you are amazing, this song drags me through so many emotions but always end up better for listening to you. Thank you.
Practically in love with her voice!
The color scheme of the whole video is nothing short of amazing
I really love the vulnerability here. Actually in all of her videos. Such a light in self expression.
Let the hype begin
... when this young lady was 5 or 6 or so she'd come into the guitar shop where I worked and stand and stare at the guitars hanging on the walls . . .
Great story.
what a story mark
What a lovely thing. The Young ladies early interest in music making has given us these sublime songs Today.
check out her man, Marlon Williams. Theyre both Lyttelton NZ kids.
@@treborif I most certainly will do. Thanks.
I like how she doesn't just sing, it's almost as if she invents a new language for each song... and she has already perfected singing in each of those languages.
Brilliant way of putting it 👌🏻🤘🏻
Totally. Different voices every time. But yet still completely her, every time. Like, who else could do that without seeming affected or inauthentic, you know?
this is magic, pure magic
This song is magic!!! Aldous I mean... the song we have always looked for!!! ♥️
this is stunning. beautiful
Perfect song and perfect video. Love it.
Her voice is so mesmerizing
Absolutely stunning
I haven't seen anything like this for quite some time. It's lovely.
just beautiful!
I'm in love with the sound
Brilliant song at turns haunting and joyful, by a singular voice.
Richard Grijalva wow are you a music writer?
Cody S In a previous life.
Richard Grijalva I'm going to the tour, we'll see how it goes 👍👉
SO SO GOOD! yeah all caps, deal with it!
Aldosterone I would like to thank you for giving us this wonderful song.
