when her son sees this video, he'll think "She's got a point, she's an icon, she's a legend and she is the moment"

[JoshGoingRAW]

In my stoner days, whenever I'd be smoking with someone, I'd always play this song. 10/10 times the person would pause, jaw dropped, and demand to know what song this was when the drop hit. Still an all-time fav.

[briankonutko]

I wanna call this the golden era of iamamiwhoami, I remember I came back from work one night and this video just came out, I watched and saw my life queef before my eyes. Such nostalgia!

[scarlethelen]

I love the moment when she becomes conscious in the fact that she has allowed herself to meld into the mindset of her captures. She's even dancing with them, trying on their fur and she has become lost and then she becomes terrified at what she has allowed herself to do.

[EgorAnanyev]

This song is absolutely epic. The "dance now" idea, and how we are captured by simulating others (dressing like them), then showing up and dancing only to realise eventually that we are surrounded my monsters. "Like a puppet now, I cannot move to my own beat." And then "And to your rhythm I will shout. My love for play." We are all too willing to give ourselves up at times...

[Intheether]

As soon as the synth came in, became my favorite song.

[GD-lfhm]

This weather is the perfect backdrop I want for my entire life.

[charlierose]

It makes me sad that not more people have watched and listened to this whole album.

I JUST REMEMBERED THIS SONG EXISTED AND NOW IM SO HYPE OMG

[TARSYO_BR]

[Verse 1]
Moving closer now
Your hand just knocked me off my feet
Yeah, like a puppet now
I cannot move to my own beat

[Chorus 1]
But I can dance tonight
I'll make up songs for us to sing
You hold my heart with cotton string
And to your rhythm I will shout
My love for play

[Interlude - Vocalisations]

[Verse 2]
Take off your hat
And pull a rabbit out for me
I'm like a lackey now
I'll lay on my back, get on my knees
I'll lay on my back, get on my, my, my, my, my

[Bridge]
So I will dance now, dance now
Dance now, dance now
Dance now, dance now
Dance now, dance now

[Chorus 2]
But I can dance tonight
Dance now
I'll make up songs for us to sing
Dance now, dance now
But I can dance
You hold my heart with cotton string
Dance now, dance now
I'll make up songs to sing
And to your rhythm I will shout
Dance now, dance now
My love for play
Dance now

[Interlude - Vocalisations]

Dance now, dance now
Dance now, dance now

[SassySistaaa]

the music paired with the visual effects is just perfection! I've been listening to their music for many years now and iamamiwhoami's stuff is the only kind of music that makes me feel in that special way. I caught myself dancing to their songs like crazy with closed eyes, like I was in another world, but was also crying because of the beauty of their art. I never had those kind of feelings before, it's kind of like a mixture between love, happines compared with sadness, darkness, a mature and artistic sexiness, craziness and a cold or warm feeling caused the temperature of the nature shown in the vids. I never took drugs, but I imagine it could feel like this. My friends don't like them at all unfortunately haha. now typing that comment I think i sound like a weirdo, but that's ok, I just want everybody to know how fantastic iamamiwhoami is <3

[kamitheofficial]

this is the greatest song ive ever heard in my life, and i have heard alot of stuff

[fluide]

When kin was released, this song was instantly my favorite and its music video did not arrange anything. Watching this again in 2019 makes me realized that nothing of the beauty of this masterwork is lost

[cosbypoop]

The perfect synthesis of music and video. It looks exactly like it sounds.

[EnterOsaka]

When the beat dropped it became my favorite song.

[ButterMyMuffin]

HOW IS IAMAMIWHOAMI NOT PLATINUM WORLDWIDE YET?? SHE IS GENIUS!

[taylorspedden]

Who’s here in 2022? 10 years later. Can’t believe this masterpiece is already 10 years old!

[TMSreptiles]

4 years of jamming hard to this song and it's almost at 1 mill views omg my baby is growing up

[AnastasiyaJ]

Probably one of my favourite music videos ever, not sure why, it's just so charming to me. Plus the Nordic countries are beautiful. Love all her videos honestly.
Thanks to danisnotonfire for introducing me to this wonderful witch all those years ago (lol 2 yrs ago)

[TheWhimsicalFuzzwald]

This is so beautiful...I try to show people outside of the internet these songs and they just think im weird. How can anyone dislike this?
