I can't believe that I was the last person to comment on this thread. I just returned to have another watch and listen seven years later. It brought tears to my eyes, this is just a perfect audio/visual experience.

"can not wait until i get my hands on you, we can do the things we said we would"
maybe one of my favorite lines ever. i can relate on so many levels

[entroponaut]

I remember starting to get DEEP into the iamamiwhoami lore and fandom back when ;john and this came out. Though I missed the bounty releases, these two and kin were one hell of a ride. So many theories and everyone connecting dots was fucking incredible, and that's without even mentioning how good the music is.

All of these songs sound as fresh as they did when they first release them. After literal years of not listening to this I'm still dancing and singing as hard as I did when I was fresh out of high school. iamamiwhoami is so fucking amazing and unique

[lunacharles]

I just realized that this symbolizes her having sex with us, which ultimately lead to the 9 month "pregnancy" of Kin (she is about to give "birth" to it in the song Kill when her water breaks). She did mention that the reason why she released all of Kin in the span of 9 months is because that was like her baby, her gift to us. That's why in her concerts she had the conception images, the sperm and what not.

Years later this is still a spine tingling tune, I love it.

[Iyana]

iamamiwhoami was such an awesome project

[senorretard]

I stared out into the universe and this woman stared back

[AndyZaturno]

When she closes her eyes, it takes us to "the other world"...

[BayHelezon]

I never dreamed I'd meet someone like you
All-in-one defeat just by the unity of you
But I like you

You see the overall of what we are
Is it a sad, sad sight viewed from afar?
Why don't you call?

Whatever made you into clump like you
The icing cold there leaks out the cracks in you
Makes us as new

Whatever made you seem so very small
Like tiny in real life but large in thought
Who's standing tall?

Cannot wait until I get my hands on you
We can do the things we said we would

You never had a true friend like I
Someone to pick you up when you needed to
Be carried through

If my hands weren't so very sharp
This broken glass that surrounds wherever we are
Wouldn't do us part
Part, oh!

Whatever made you into clump like you
The fiery warmth that leaks out from most of you
Is burning through

Whatever made you seem so very small
Like tiny in real life but large in thought
Come stand up tall

Cannot wait until I get my hands on you
We can do the things we said we would

Cannot wait until I see your smiling faces
And our love will be misunderstood

[onegoodcat]

The little clum represents us, or the audience that watched her first concert, which was after this video was made. The sex is a metaphor for the bond made between the audience and Jonna during that first concert. "Cannot wait until I get my hands on you." Jonna and audience engaged with each other through music, and the sex is a metaphor for that. That was when Jonna's "baby" was conceived -- the baby being the Kin album, which is why it took NINE months after the concert to be released.

[fionaazreal]

I enjoy the way that each song starts out sounding like a continuation, like it began before you got here and you're late.

[gagacraft]

WHENEVER SHE CLOSES HER EYES THE SETTING CHANGES. WHY HAVE I JUST NOTICED THIS.

[Maxianaconda]

The extended outro is still so lovely.

[kaiorenan]

4:04 dá pra ver nos olhos que ela tá cantando com toda verdade da alma dela. Incrível, jonna lee. Essa música é muito sincera.

[MKMNGD]

Her music is out of this world. She's a genius!

[salo]

Beyond brilliant. One of the few song/video's that just are in perfect harmony. Genius.

[akkodha]

Awesome video. My 2nd favorite song by iamamiwhoami

[norahnightingale]

Great beat, and what a haunting tune...

[jbwooten]

I sometimes wish I could escape to another world every time I closed my eyes. I would probably keep them shut. I didn't pick up on that for a long time in this video. So beautifully done!

[moom]

I listened to this over and over again. I soaked it up. So unusual and visionary. Not sure if I can talk about like or dislike here, but very interesting in any way. Not many artists show such creativity and innovation. A glimpse of the future. Perhaps the result of what happens when talented people discover a strong source of creativity.
