Im a 15 year old girl and looking at these comments from 16ish years ago is just crazy to me, these people loving the song I do that are now probably almost 40 is just wild.
Anti-folk is a music genre that developed as an alternative to the folk scenes, particularly in New York (at least in the US, I believe). A lot of musicians were being cut out of the scene for sounding too rough/experimental/playful/etc. It's kind of like radical folk, except it is totally its own genre. And it varies a lot between different musicians, so it's difficult to say exactly what constitutes anti-folk.
Yeah, from what I understand, this song is about the last day before Kimya decided that she needed to become sober or else she would probably die. It's a pretty serious song that gets misinterpreted a lot as something silly.
wow. i cant imagine this being misinterpreted. the first time i heard this song it was so potent it made me feel sick. I love it though t very honest and unique.
My girl's a lowkey badass. This rocked, I couldn't look away. I love the way she arranges her songs and how she tells a story 💯 She's always keeping it real
She’s known for performing for groups of people that don’t know who she is. They maybe just overwhelmed with that feeling that everyone gets when they first hear Kimya Dawson. 🍑💊♥️
@@jenniebond8370 I found out about her when she opened for Third Eye Blind at a small show at a college in like 2005. I had never heard of her at the time, but she played this song and instantly fell in love with it, and her.
I can't even begin to tell you how powerful she is in person, through this entire song I had chills coursing through my body. She is very sweet and humble during her show too!
Funny how this video was posted when I was in elementary school and thought I'd go on to make myself proud. Just found it today, haven't been consistently sober since I turned 21. Maybe one day I can look at this song as an inspiration for making it further
Her lyrics have so much meaning and value to me. Once you really start to understand what she's talking about in any of her songs you kinda just like "Oh shit..." She's amazing.
i remember hearing this song at newbury comics in boston and i didn't know it. i listened really closely and i felt like i had the wind knocked out of me. it's tortured. and beautiful.
If she didn't have a sense of humor about it, she might not have made it through. It's the light we can make of situations that instills resolve in us.
I cant understand how people can laugh when hearing this pain. The only thing that hearing thus makes me want to is hug her and tell its going to he okay
all her songs have so much power and the speak really strong, I love it, she expresses everything so brilliantly whilst making wonderful music, I just love it :)
Well , i'm listening this song now , its 3 am , and i'm just thinking . . this is that song that will always be in my heart , i don't know why , its just like that . . since i've heard Kimya for the first time , i am in love with her music . . her music comes right from her soul , and that's why i love her so much . . shes my favorite musician in the whole world , and i'm emotionally attached to this song :)
exaltation is the consequence of the absurdity of desperate living, i havnt heard this in a long time, but the memories it brings back make me laugh crying
Kimya would love that people can see the dark humor in her song and react to it while also quietly taking in the more serious-toned lines. (The one big exception here is anyone who laughs at the masturbation line, as that is so clearly NOT the appropriate nor intended reaction) So many of her songs have a ‘goofy’ undertone and if people laugh at the lines meant to be funny, then she knows she wrote a good line :) listen to the recorded version if you don’t like the laughter silly
Agreed, felt uncomfortable at the laugh there, but some people do laugh out of discomfort/uncertainty, and the discomfort hits like a truck with this song, so maybe they were more feeling that than actually finding it humorous.
i've been a fan of kimya dawson way before juno she has so much talent her music is something i can listen to happy or sad(: i like giants is probably my favorite song from her she seems like such a nice person
she is so awsome I have no clue as to how the hell she strums her strings the way she does but she does it really well she deserves so much more credit she is a great musition or however you spell that... lol
my friend showed me this song today and i said it sounds just like the girl from moldy peaches "you know, like from juno?" and she said she didnt know that band and i said too bad theyre good and then i looked it up on youtube and discovered i was right and this song is so awesome, and now i am really happy :)
Oh, come on, what's to dislike? You either love Kimya's style and eccentric lyric or you ignore her. She won't mind either way. I'm one of the lovers. You can book it. Hell, I even played some on my underground 60s oldies show. Nobody called in a complaint!
@@drakebell5649 it's really not my business talking about all the trouble kimya dawsom has endured in her life, I'm fairly certain she's managed to overcome a fairly hefty heroin addiction that almost killed her at least once, luckily she managed to leave that behind

whys everything need a label
Anti-folk always feels like acoustic punk

I really needed to hear this tonight. Hearing her be so vulnerable and your super honest comments really meant a lot in a profound way.
wow. i cant imagine this being misinterpreted. the first time i heard this song it was so potent it made me feel sick. I love it though t very honest and unique.

highkey!!
Low key?
The song isn't "silly" at all, people just giggle at absurd tragedy as a natural defense.
Or relate to the lyrics

the lyrics are gut wrenching
It took 12 years of listening to this song to get sober, now I get the song and I'm sober.
hows it going?
This song gets me in my feels for being sober.
Good luck with that
❤❤❤

i was so startled when she looked up at the beginning of the video 0:02 she has really beautiful and almost childlike eyes.
"You said: you're gross, my darling, I said: No, I'm Rock and Roll".
you can tell it hurts her to sing it
i don’t think i’ve professed my undying love for kimya recently but she is my #1 idol
my dads buddy knows her - apparently she’s really cool
Her lyrics have so much meaning and value to me. Once you really start to understand what she's talking about in any of her songs you kinda just like "Oh shit..." She's amazing.
damn what kinda crazy strumming is that? no thumb needed
Unorthodocks if you know Andrew Jackson Jihad, this girl is where the front man got his famous strumming style
@@cstubbssubs7746 doesn't Sean do a fast-paced "boomchuck" type strumming? I'm pretty sure he even made a video about it.
@@SoVeryGrim His strumming is a mix between boomchuck and Kimyas strumming
@@SirSharon Thanks dudes, epic info and crossed punk artist involved.
@@SirSharon not at all... he strums without a pick but that's it, the technique is completely different.
The lyrics are absurd and bizarre, but the meaning is there. It’s chaotic and melancholic.
As someone who has alcoholism running though my veins this song hurts me in a way I can’t describe.
is it just me or is this a bit faster paced? love it though.
yeah it is
And it's missing that weird siren noise. But it's got her!
True true.. she isnn confident here. (not her normal confidence oozing) she seems nervous and anxious and sad
i remember hearing this song at newbury comics in boston and i didn't know it.
i listened really closely and i felt like i had the wind knocked out of me.
it's tortured.
and beautiful.
I'm a 27 year old man. This song brought me to tears.
I love this lady's style of telling a story so raw and honest. :3
This touches me every time. Much respect.
mY QUEEN.
hI THERE BUDDY DO YOU WANT TO FIGHT.
Mk. *thumbs up*
wat
reminds me of my late teens to early 20's
I love Kimya more than a lot of things in this world
i found this last night..
let’s just say that this is my 42 time listening to it...
yeah =]
everybody here deserves to be really happy! don't ever forget. i wish i could tell you all personally
I cant stop listening to this song
If she didn't have a sense of humor about it, she might not have made it through. It's the light we can make of situations that instills resolve in us.
I cant understand how people can laugh when hearing this pain. The only thing that hearing thus makes me want to is hug her and tell its going to he okay
this might be one of the best songs of all time
memorized every word of this song i love Kimya she is amazing:)
"you've come a long, long way and you deserve to be real happy" always makes me cry
Same same
This is one of my favorite songs ever. So many visualizations
This is the saddest song I've ever heard and I've heard some pretty sorrowful material. :(
Nostalgia about traumatic times. So relatable yet unsettling.
All I had to do is think about this video and RUclips recommended it to me 30 minutes later. I don't trust technology anymore.
she is gorgeous
all her songs have so much power and the speak really strong, I love it, she expresses everything so brilliantly whilst making wonderful music, I just love it :)
I forgot I knew every word to this song and I needed that reminder.
This Song Really Speaks to Me - It says: I'm gonna beat you up even harder.
This is the best song ever to play at parties
Your picture sounds like a vacuum.
I like turtles.
saw her in concert last night. she's amazing. wish she would have played this song :( oh well
love re discovering old music i used to listen to
some nights i just cant stop listening to her. quickly becoming a fan.
why are they laughing? this is one of the most depressing songs I have ever heard. Genius. Such a way with words.
Love kimya effortless coolness 😎

Incredible lyrics. Go Kimya!

exaltation is the consequence of the absurdity of desperate living, i havnt heard this in a long time, but the memories it brings back make me laugh crying
shes so amazing....so bad ass...i love it....mad flows...
Kimay is awesome..Love this song,gives me goosebumps when ever i hear it...
saw her do this in boston the other night, loved it, can't wait for the album with aesop!

OH MY GOD! i love her way to sing, and I love her way to play guitar! she's so lovely weird!

Singing such harrowing lyrics in a child-like voice has a rather powerful effect.
LOVE HER
she is so awsome I have no clue as to how the hell she strums her strings the way she does but she does it really well she deserves so much more credit she is a great musition or however you spell that... lol
I love your music Kimya!

This woman is a pure genius.

One of many unknown artists that deserve more credit than they get.
intresting......very unique....humor and sadness rolled up in one....this is very deep
Beautiful kimya
she is recovering an alcohol addiction
She has recovered from a lot more than that

This is nice
This is a day in my life at seventeen years old 😭

Someone make a tutorial on how to strum like her
Just look up fingerstyle acoustic
@@keithstone1321 this ain't fingerstyle
I am 7 years late but i need a tutorial too. Her strumming is slightly similar to Sean Bonnette’s
This song has always hit me so deeply, Kimya Dawson is pretty much my fucking hero in every way.
I've loved you for years, I'll love you forever. Thanks Kimya
This song is giving me way too much feels.
