I have had the privilege of seeing them in 1999 union chapel felt mountain tour, just saw. Them at royal festival hall 2022 insanely great, thank you so much for over 20 years of beautiful music
This woman (and her primary creative partner, Will) gave me hope, at the turn of the century, when I feared that Music was dead. And hope they give me still. Now, to the issue at hand: can you *imagine* what George Dunning would have done with this amazing song in 1970...?
+BUDGIE KIDD Just noticed your comment about fearing that music was dead. Amazing that around 2000 I was thinking exactly the same thing and seeing as I turned my radio off completely around that time I went on the net looking for an alternative to the crap that they were playing and found the likes of Goldfrapp and similar artists in the Trip Hop genre and found dozens that here in Australia would never ever get played. Seems they all come from Europe and I now have 500 songs that I play to death. A friend once said to me its good to have something that no one has. Sounds a bit selfish but I'm worried that they would commercialise it and ruin it. If your ever interested I have a list of the artists I listen to and can let you know some of them. Its the best music I've ever heard.
The production value is great. But, have you followed her albums from Utopia, Supernature (the STRIPPER album), to The Seventh Tree. Clowns is a song about her boob job. Happiness is a song about giving your money to a cult, and Eat Yourself is a song about telling an (ex lover?) to off themselves. Utopia was a song based on Cabaret's Tomorrow belongs to me with the lyrics "FASCIST BABY". Has anyone considered Alison is doing concept albums around female psychopathy in the way David Bowie did concept albums around his brother's schizophrenia?
They pissed me off when their Macbbok Pro packed up after 30 minutes at a gig, and they only bothered to attempt one more song, then left. Fucking crappy amateurs.
This is one of the most important songs of my life. I will never not adore it. I hope anyone in the future reading this comment can share in this feeling with me
- A chance encounter with 'Utopia' on a free 'Chill' compilation, led me to 2000's 'Felt Mountain' then more CD's up to 2013's 'Tales of Us' - Before that, I didn't understand Golfrapps' reason for existence (at Festivals) - with daftly costumed dancers vying for attention with inaudible vocals - Happily, good mix levels on good recordings (with essential printed lyrics) made sense of it all! Her voice IS THE instrument, alongside Will Gregory's essential musical contributions (and Guitar, strings, etc) so no matter most of the lyrics are incomprehensible - she plays a poetic tune with her voice, and her breathing, unusually. Just like Opera, one can be moved to tears from these songs, without being sure exactly how or why ......
@Emile Darius -- Exactly. As an English speaker, I prefer opera in languages that I don't understand. _"The human voice is the most beautiful instrument of all, but it is the most difficult to play."_ -- Richard Strauss
This song is about fake boobs. A+E was about a pill overdose - my hat is doffed to such wonderful artistic interpretations. PS I saw them live and they were note perfect!
Thomas Dapper - it's "their" not "her". She's not a solo artist. Will out of sight, Will out of mind, I guess. Sorry, just a pet peeve of mine as I see this same mis-characterization of Goldfrapp quite often.
Kaan Şensoy Later someone thought that Angie(keyboardist) is real Alison and singer is just hired pretty face/voice. And who among us didn't broke down crying after learning that Will is not cool bearded guy with keytar? No one? Um... it happened to my friend

Utopia could have been played for the THIRD REICH-ruclips.net/video/OB5Qoy8JHdI/видео.html. It has a similar melody to Tomorrow Belongs to Me from Cabaret and even states "FASCIST BABY". A Ying to Heath Ledger's Yang. In Batman The Joker gives three different stories on how he got his trademark smile and none of them match insinuating psychopathy.
Jagjeff66 Did you ever notice that Alison Goldfrapps' voice is an instument itself? She could be singing poo-poo-caa-caa-doo-doo in this song and it would still sound just as great. If you want something without "dumb" lyrics, go attend a slam poetry session - but this is a musical performance right here.
Not dumb lyrics at all. It's about a woman with fake boobs and a fake tan and Alison's disbelief that any woman would want to look like that. Why is that dumb?
her voice is an instrument of power that will never be again. be happy you get to hear it
The "Seventh tree" album is a masterpiece. This track is taken from the record I love the most.
Wow, I'm not alone!
This is so incredibly underrated
It’s really not. Everybody knows she’s a
Queen
Stupid over-rated yt comment.
What an absolutely beautiful voice.
I love metal . . . and I think this song is legendary and will love it forever.
It’s almost
Like ur human
@@richardsalazar121and not a dud
The most heartbreaking beautiful vocals I've heard in a long time. Pitch perfect and graceful
As a singer and guitarist, I am very inspired by Goldfrapp !

Staggeringly amazing and beautiful.

Let me know about that list, please! It would be greatly appreciated.
Geroge Dunning as the director of Yellow Submarine ?

I cannot even deal with the amount of asdfghjkl I feel with this song. Even sweeter live, damn!

Very much CORRECT Darius.
superb
Je l'adore ....quels talents ! merci Alison.
this is soo beautiful.....
Lovely, I'm so chilled right now.
I was there, It was amazing. The crowd were quiet though. I don't think we knew how to behave at a radio gig.
Beautiful performance🌟👌 Alison has an angelic voice💚
Heard this version one night and I am happy to have found it again.
Wow! Quality band from first to last. They care about their Art, and it is timeless.
Truly beautiful
Beautiful, only just realised how good Goldfrapp have been and are, a bit benefit of lockdown - time to listen!
Beautiful pure music.
感謝你上傳了那麼多goldfrapp精彩的影片 ^_^
God that sounds so fucking beautiful.
One word......Dreamy ❣
Beautifully composed
Lovely acoustics
Melhor música, acalma a alma 💕
GENIUSNESS.
perfection XX
Es como una canción de cuna para niños grandes.
Oh, I'll use it for my newborn daughter, indeed...
Increíble. No sé me había ocurrido pero re sí.
Superb!
Very beautiful voice!!
Cette chanson est si belle.
I cried like a baby after listening this song watching "the end of veronika decides to die" film
I cried too, it was so moving😭
Amazing
Music that far transcends its lowly subject matter. 💎
This song is about fake boobs. A+E was about a pill overdose
- my hat is doffed to such wonderful artistic interpretations.
PS I saw them live and they were note perfect!
OMG
The lyrics make so much sense now!!!
Holy shit, i've never looked at these lyrics before
“Only clowns would play with those balloons. What you want to look like Barbie for?”
thank u!!
How is it already 10 years ago omg
hermosa sublime saludos mexico
so cool this juxtapositioning of sound/music/voice versus the topic of the lyrics
La textura de la voz de Alice es adorable.
Alison eso es talento puro no las cantantes comerciales de ahora
This is better than the studio version 😍
No one's gonna write these kind of warm and real lyrics, for me anyways.
She's an instrument of nature. No doubt.
Thomas Dapper - it's "their" not "her". She's not a solo artist. Will out of sight, Will out of mind, I guess. Sorry, just a pet peeve of mine as I see this same mis-characterization of Goldfrapp quite often.
I know and you're not alone. It's funny at the beginning when Will was joining the concerts people thought Alison was just the singer.

Later someone thought that Angie(keyboardist) is real Alison and singer is just hired pretty face/voice. And who among us didn't broke down crying after learning that Will is not cool bearded guy with keytar? No one? Um... it happened to my friend
👍👍👍😊
number one violinist most beautiful woman ive ever seen
When you read the lyrics .........
бл, как круто она вживую держится
This song is a beauty about her BOOB job. When you compare the songs on the Seventh Tree. You have Happiness a song about giving all your money to a cult (Scientology?).

"This song is a beauty about her BOOB job" Didn't know she's plastic surgeon too
Uh, talk about missing the point - she’s making fun of plastic surgery here.
@@BlownMacTruck
Yep, you missed it...
@@src3360 That’s fine. Illuminate me and others then to what it’s actually about.

Yeah what do you wanna look like Barbie for? Like really why ?
beautiful music ruined by incredibly dumb lyrics.

+Jagjeff66 im guessing you dont like the cocteau twins then
+Jagjeff66 The lyrics are witty and profound. And you are a Philistine. Carry on.
Not dumb lyrics at all. It's about a woman with fake boobs and a fake tan and Alison's disbelief that any woman would want to look like that. Why is that dumb?
yes the sentiment it on point. and perfect.
Truly beautiful.
