This album was actually my top-listened-to album according to my Spotify Wrapped for 2024 (I was pretty surprised too). Fantastic record. And all that time I spent listening to it, I never thought to look up a picture of Ms. Austra. My god, is she ever pretty!!
I love the polyphony at the end, the song has three melodies: the verse, the chorus, and the bridge, and they fuse all three melodies together at the end. I didn't think it could be possible. Amazing video, masterpiece.
"this is a thirst that I've never had" beautiful, dark and haunting... canadian electronic music band...second track from their debut "feel it break" (2011) the lead singer was trained in opera austra is goddess of light in latvian mythology
One of the greatest songs I've ever heard, one of the best in the XXI century. Austra brings back the style New Wave / Synthpop, showing that currently still produces good singers and bands. I'm from Brazil...
dearest canada. thank you for contributing austra to the music world. you can now almost be forgiven for subjecting us to celine dion and bryan adams. regards, the world
Geeze! How can you be this good and not be noticed? Attention World: this is a great band; you should pay them homage and great amounts of attention and money to reflect our culture and ambitions.
Oh my god.. She is so amazing! Her voice is beyond amazing! I'm so glad that I didn't skip the Behind the Scenes ad with her. I have found the song that I will be listening to everyday for the next 3 months!
you dont really need an analysis of this, the aesthetics are this way, however, the war elements seem to symbolize the tug of war between two people, they fought and hurt each other, everything is in chaos, they gambled bad and separed (the cards, which may as well be a wink to the solitaire game in windows 98, which serve as aesthetic but also as -solitaire- feeling alone) So lonely that cries - dont wanna lose ya-
I would love to understand this video. Love the song and love Austra since 8 years ago, or so. They are awesome! 🖤 It's just that I don't get their visual concept, is really hard for me.
This is some of the most beautiful music I've heard in a very long time. I was surprised to see an official video with such an "indie" aesthetic, but it's not bad. Nothing can change the absolutely stellar quality of this song, mildly silly video or not.
I find this video really disturbing, like a distorted dream. Everybody seems to think it's crap and cheep, but for me it brings out rather strong feelings, I feel sad and worried. The missile at the beginning really augur something dreadful. Great song.
@Anton ...only people who dount understand deeper things, see a crap video! ...if you see it you know that it is not made as a cheap vid, that would not be made sense ;). Im a musican and love art also (also modern abstract things, but not all) but not all kind of art, some modern art is all but not more art itself, but here it is concept behind there!, as you say it, it can be a dream like video. Or something she will say! ...btw. that song is a masterpiece and absolut underrated!!! ...and i know what i say, i be self a musican ;)
I remember when I first found this song/video/band like 8 years ago and I was speechless. I love this first album and this video, it paved the way for me to broaden my music taste and it just changed me as a person a little in general. will always love AUSTRA
this is song is AMAZING !!! The part when .... what is it call ? when she just singing the tune without any lyrics .. Is it arpeggio ? it's awesome ! It kind of make my heart beat faster ... No words can describe how beautiful this song ... just wow ! I know this song from "lost girl" and love it right away ...
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose I never knew you, I never knew I never knew you, I never knew Your body's harmful, the very shape The cracks are deeper, on every plate Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose I get impatient, with every word The more you ask me, the more I've heard This is a thirst that I've never had I've never bled for another man Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose My face screams My face screams My face screams Without an emotion In the darkness comes, another, another Hold her by the thumbs, the other, the other Don't wanna lose you (in the darkness comes) Don't wanna lose (another, another) Don't wanna lose you (hold her by the thumbs) Don't wanna lose (the other, the other) x3
In the darkness comes, another, another Hold her by the thumbs, the other, the other
God I love this song, but this clip is so random! Reminds me so much of some experimental work of my hipster colleagues back in my sociology major haha
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose, Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose. I never knew you, I never knew, I never knew you, I never knew. Your body's harmful, the very shape.

Haha it seems like the majority of us were brought here thanks to The xx! Saw them live here in Miami last night, both bands were great! I think I'm a new Austra fan!
J'ai découvert ce groupe hier soir au concert de Gossip à Bordeaux et j'ai adoré !!!! Surtout celle qu'ils ont fait en dernier, à savoir Lose it !! Je connaissais pas le titre et je suis tombé dessus en premier !!!! Très sympa comme musique !!!!
Ah mais il me semble t'avoir apperçu !!! LOL...en tout cas depuis dimanche, j'écoute plusieurs fois par jour Lose it et spellwork !!!! C'est vraiment le style de musique ke j'aime !!!!
It’s been 11 years and I’m now being introduced to Austra? Better late than never ❤️
Katie is the queen
I am just discovering her today 😮
Is anyone else freaked out of how much hers and Florence's singing voices are similar?! Both so beautiful and amazing! Magical, really.
what is florence?
@@ing_frantisek_mohykan Florence Welch, she is the vocalist in Florence and the Machine.
@@evvence there’s a distinction but I hear a similarity . Flo’s voice is more mature and captivating . They are great individually.
calm down, its just a video.
@@JohnRiversOfficial lmao it's been 11 years. I've calmed down.
I'm normally not a fan of vibrato singing, but she does it so masterfully it's like you're hearing a new instrument for the first time.
My gf uses vibrator too
What's vibrato?
@@maroanouadi9782 It's similar to tremolo, but not quite the same.
This album was actually my top-listened-to album according to my Spotify Wrapped for 2024 (I was pretty surprised too). Fantastic record. And all that time I spent listening to it, I never thought to look up a picture of Ms. Austra. My god, is she ever pretty!!
This song brings tears to my eyes.
I love the polyphony at the end, the song has three melodies: the verse, the chorus, and the bridge, and they fuse all three melodies together at the end. I didn't think it could be possible. Amazing video, masterpiece.
"this is a thirst that I've never had"
beautiful, dark and haunting...
canadian electronic music band...second track from their debut "feel it break" (2011)
the lead singer was trained in opera
austra is goddess of light in latvian mythology
One of the greatest songs I've ever heard, one of the best in the XXI century. Austra brings back the style New Wave / Synthpop, showing that currently still produces good singers and bands.
I'm from Brazil...
I agree
sure sir
Conssertesa
Agreed!
Paulo is sou cuuuuuul
I love this song. The "uh oh uh oh uh oh" bits are so catchy and her voice is lovely.
I love seeing non-hollywood-ed out naturally beautiful women rocking out some AMAZING talent this way. Keep it up guys, you're AWESOME.
How can anyone dislike this!!!!!!!!!! Thank You Austra great track great album
dearest canada.
thank you for contributing austra to the music world. you can now almost be forgiven for subjecting us to celine dion and bryan adams.

the world
I'm really confused, what is wrong with Bryan Adams and Celine Dion?
Geeze! How can you be this good and not be noticed? Attention World: this is a great band; you should pay them homage and great amounts of attention and money to reflect our culture and ambitions.
In love with this song, everything about it is perfect.
this song is so powerful and so beautiful...this song really changed my life...one of the most beautiful songs that i ever heared
Her voice is from another world!
One of the greatest songs of all time.
My deceased ex loved this band and she made this our unofficial song…I knew I’d lose her
I love , I love , I Love.
Great Album, great voice, great originality, great talent.
THANKS FOR ALL.
wait this song is so pretty and the video is so melodramatic and silly i am in love
This group is the first group in years that made me buy a new album. Absolutely fantastic and hypnotic.
Austra/Katie are some of my favourite music in the last 12 odd years. So many songs mean something. My face screams with love and emotion ❤
BO AND LAUREN 💙
omg yes I'm so happy I found this song
Who is Bo and Lauren.
;)
Oh my god.. She is so amazing! Her voice is beyond amazing! I'm so glad that I didn't skip the Behind the Scenes ad with her. I have found the song that I will be listening to everyday for the next 3 months!
Be honest...everybody wins! This is a beautiful song! I hope you find happiness.
I would pay big money for a written analysis of this video.
Just so I can make sense of all this.
I need something.
Have you ?
you dont really need an analysis of this, the aesthetics are this way, however, the war elements seem to symbolize the tug of war between two people, they fought and hurt each other, everything is in chaos, they gambled bad and separed (the cards, which may as well be a wink to the solitaire game in windows 98, which serve as aesthetic but also as -solitaire- feeling alone) So lonely that cries - dont wanna lose ya-
It’s about her being with her first boyfriend, she’s gay had feelings for him but couldn’t take the pain of having sex with him
Reallllllly? I Cloud so a Wikipedia fucking Text aboit IT!!!! If you pay ne XD
also everything is always about self
This is my daughter's favorite song, she's 8.
This singer is awesome, it shows talent 0 auto tune dam.. My sims showing me new nice song. Sims 3 darkwave playlist brought me here, nice selection.
Saw them live last night. Their stage presence is amazing, especially the dancing! so good.
This is one of the most awesome videos I've ever saw!! It mixes professional things with amateur, and by mixing those 2 things makes it PERFECT!!
This song gives me chills!
great band..saw them open for the XX...and was highly impressed
I adore this song, could listen to this song for the rest of my life without getting bored of it :)!!!!
Beautifully Grotesque!! Great Video Concept and Music.
The video has got a really nice ａｅｓｔｈｅｔｉｃ.
So excited to see these guys at field trip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This song was free on the iTunes store a few years ago. I loved it!
simply captures the song visually in small human moments.. we are good programs
Qué voz! Me encanta...imposible no bailar
I would love to understand this video.
Love the song and love Austra since 8 years ago, or so. They are awesome! 🖤
It's just that I don't get their visual concept, is really hard for me.
I absolutely fell in love with this song when I heard it on lost girl.
Bo and Lauren uffff
Im 30 now, and I remember seeing them at fun fun fest or sxsw back when I was 18. I knew they were witches. ❤
I love this song. Her vibrato is so awesome. ^_^
Yay for another amazing Canadian band!
I listen to this great song every single day! Thank you!!!
fell in love with this song in under a minute! captivating. music never died.
This is some of the most beautiful music I've heard in a very long time. I was surprised to see an official video with such an "indie" aesthetic, but it's not bad. Nothing can change the absolutely stellar quality of this song, mildly silly video or not.
You are wonderful. I can't stop listening to this song.
Lost Girl seems to have a habit of using these amazing songs ❤️
Twin peaksy editing. Flo and the machine sounding voice and way of singing.
Bo and Lauren scene tho. :')
Oh, and this is the best music video ever. K done obsessing over this song.
I find this video really disturbing, like a distorted dream. Everybody seems to think it's crap and cheep, but for me it brings out rather strong feelings, I feel sad and worried. The missile at the beginning really augur something dreadful. Great song.
Its not crap in fact its very creative with different elements going on...
@Anton ...only people who dount understand deeper things, see a crap video! ...if you see it you know that it is not made as a cheap vid, that would not be made sense ;). Im a musican and love art also (also modern abstract things, but not all) but not all kind of art, some modern art is all but not more art itself, but here it is concept behind there!, as you say it, it can be a dream like video.

This comment read in 2020.
I saw it when I was eight and found it horrifying
5 years after, I've come here with same feeling.
I remember when I first found this song/video/band like 8 years ago and I was speechless. I love this first album and this video, it paved the way for me to broaden my music taste and it just changed me as a person a little in general. will always love AUSTRA
What an amazing voice.
this is song is AMAZING !!!
The part when .... what is it call ? when she just singing the tune without any lyrics .. Is it arpeggio ? it's awesome ! It kind of make my heart beat faster ... No words can describe how beautiful this song ... just wow !
I know this song from "lost girl" and love it right away ...
🙀 i think I need to learn the basics so I can make music better 😂
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose
I never knew you, I never knew
I never knew you, I never knew
Your body's harmful, the very shape
The cracks are deeper, on every plate
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose
I get impatient, with every word
The more you ask me, the more I've heard
This is a thirst that I've never had
I've never bled for another man
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose
My face screams
My face screams
My face screams
Without an emotion
In the darkness comes, another, another
Hold her by the thumbs, the other, the other
Don't wanna lose you (in the darkness comes)
Don't wanna lose (another, another)
Don't wanna lose you (hold her by the thumbs)
Don't wanna lose (the other, the other) x3
In the darkness comes, another, another
Hold her by the thumbs, the other, the other
Seeing this live was so once in a lifetime. This was such a epic tune and great time.
PS: This girl's voice, damn.
she sounds almost like Florence and the machine
Classic singing meet art indie/electro/pop ;) ...she have studied classis singing, btw.
@@themarymachine it's more and more better
@@themarymachine but Florence is one of the best
Walcome to my keetcheen, we have bananees and avocadaes.
Amazing song & haunting video which reminds me Losing My Religion's.
Definately the best song of the year !
Eu amo essa música aaaaaa
Eu também, adoro a voz dela.😍
Natalia Oliveira muito boa mesmo
Am I the only one who thinks this video is awesome?. It´s full of artistic simbology everywhere.
Was trying to find smth like Fever Ray so I found Austra which reminded me of Cocteau Twins and, oh, this is altogether great :)
sans deconner sa voix est merveilleuse, une vrai bonne decouverte IMHO
Bellissima !
imhow does this song not have the same amount of views as any of adele songs. austra deserves the same amount of recognition
God I love this song, but this clip is so random! Reminds me so much of some experimental work of my hipster colleagues back in my sociology major haha
i am obsessed with this band
2019 here we are! ❤
I feel like this is the sort of band/musical style I've been waiting for all my life ... SOOO AWEESUMZZ. *Falls onto knees to worship*
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose,
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose.
I never knew you, I never knew,
I never knew you, I never knew.
Your body's harmful, the very shape.
The cracks are deeper, on every plate.
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose,
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose.
I get impatient, with every word.
The more you ask me, the more I've heard.
This is a thirst that I've never had,
I've never bled for another man.
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose,
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose.
My face screams,
My face screams,
My face screams without any motion/an emotion.
In the darkness comes, another, another.
Hold her by the thumbs, the other, the other.
(Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose,
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose)
[x4]
In the darkness comes, another, another.
Hold her by the thumbs, the other, the other.
Just say these guys perform three times in Regina, Canada. It was a mind blowing experience. Huge fan now!!
"A-Ha ho ha ho ha ho ha ho Haaaaaaaaah !!!!!" -----> 1:05
The angels are here...
Songs so Frikken GOOD ! Been in my head for a week now...
Totally underrated Band! L-O-V-E!!!
Melhor música!
This is pure magic !
First day of 2020 and I'm already here listening to the best song of the 10s.
Yes you have it! ...miss the 10s :( ...was a nice time!!!
Best song of 2011
of the DECADE =).
Saw these guys live yesterday. Never heard them before but they're amazing.
Wow wery good song from Canada!
Haha it seems like the majority of us were brought here thanks to The xx! Saw them live here in Miami last night, both bands were great! I think I'm a new Austra fan!
Essa música me lembra tanto Lost Girl ♥
Saudades de mais
I really miss you
Go Austra..! Keep making more and more and more music. Awesome! Love from Australia 🇦🇺💚
no expert but I feel like the golden period of the current "indie" period we're in was the early 2010s.
They'll perfom in Brazil this month ! Yay !
I'm going to see them live tonight
talk to with 'em if they could make a gig here in Bogota - Colombia, could U please ??? :)
what sorcery is this.... Bo and Lauren got me under the spell of this song... 0o
1:35 is from an online game called second life
Her voice is sensational! Love that depth!
Amazing video and song!
Had the lucky opportunity to see them live yesterday...instantly fell in love
J adore!!!
This is a great video to start you day to, or watch over and over on a sunday.
I can't hear this song without pausing it and go to watch Lost Girl
i´m a brazilian fan , love this , wonderful song ......
Talent.
J'ai découvert ce groupe hier soir au concert de Gossip à Bordeaux et j'ai adoré !!!! Surtout celle qu'ils ont fait en dernier, à savoir Lose it !! Je connaissais pas le titre et je suis tombé dessus en premier !!!! Très sympa comme musique !!!!
Bo and lauren 2x06 lost girl !!
Ah mais il me semble t'avoir apperçu !!! LOL...en tout cas depuis dimanche, j'écoute plusieurs fois par jour Lose it et spellwork !!!! C'est vraiment le style de musique ke j'aime !!!!
Definitely one of those strange bands that you can't help but like even though you don't really get them.
Great song! I saw Austra as opener for the XX and I liked. ;-)
