That's like when I typed "lalala song" and got "Loving You" by Minnie Riperton. One of those songs that's so weirdly annoying that I have to hear it again.
Not gonna lie I'm not sure I am. I kinda suspect she means humanity when she says "Its already dead" Think we have found phase fours big bad. Tune though.
Really? heard this song for the first time a few days ago I was incredibly inspired! I checked out alot of her music after that, her art is so fuckin cool I admire the shit out of it! Aldous Harding is fuckin lit mang
Aldous Harding is to music what Stewart Lee is to comedy - they both skate the fine line between utterly ridiculous and utterly compelling like absolute pro's.
last year when I first commented I was really freaked out tbh and now I kinda love it? Is that progress or does that mean I'm possessed now?? (p.s thanks for the likes people) !
The comments section to the new film Eternals is actually pretty great. It's one of those infinite loop comments where everyone says the same joke in a slightly different way.
Millions of Peaches peaches for me. Millions of Peaches peaches for free!!! Remember that one? LOL!!!! That was done by The Presidents of the United States of America!!!!
I bought her album, the vinyl arrived, I havent played brand new vinyl for 40 years? . . .I found my 40 year old 'stereo' in the back of the shed. I played this song. I showed the ferret the egg. He sighed.
Same drill here; but my ferret sneeringly declared "Wake up, retro-consumerist chump! Vinyl's a thing of the past, gone, kaput -- *I'm* not gettin' led along!" But after some moments more of listening he suddenly stared wildly around and (catching sight of an old Allman Brothers LP's album-cover art) exclaimed, "Jesus -- look at all them damn peaches!!!"-- and I'll be darned if he didn't suddenly disappear from somewhere and appear inside of nowhere! Of course, he'd previously been bingeing on "Binaural-DMT-Frequency Pineal Gland Activation" vids on RUclips, so I can sorta understand where he was comin' from. Cheers.
Showed this video to my 73 yr old mother, her first comment was "this reminds me of what my girlfriends and i were doing in art school during the 60's," and i realized great minds really do think alike
This put a giant smile in my face lol. I love when I can connect to the older generation through music. Far too many of them are so close minded about today's music
That makes sense. The film Holy Mountain came out in 1973, and the art direction in this video takes a lot of cues from psychedelic cinema from that era.
When I showed this film to my 73-year-old mother, her first reaction was, "This reminds me of what my girlfriends and I were doing in art school back in the 1960s," and I realized that great minds truly do think alike.
Yep. This and well, all the others she's made. Her music is radically different from anything else. The lyrics alone would make her stand out, but the music is just lush.
@@Eggmanrocks it is poetry, so it is open for you to experience and take what comes to you. And that is what it means. There is no one thing that you aren't getting and other people are. Open yourself and let the connections rise up.
I want to get a pet ferret when I'm older. When I do, I will surely show it to the eggs I buy from the grocery store. The more eggs to show the ferret to, the better, right?
@@daninoa9650 Well, it will certainly keep the eggs from getting any crazy ideas, right? Because ferrets are notorious egg-stealers. And not to just collect them. Their actual motives are said to be rather more sinister than that.
Debbie Harry brought me here. she mentioned this song as one of her recent favorite songs in an interview with virgin radio. even more thankful for her existence right now.
Interesting that you said that. Just this past week, i was watching that very same Debbie Harry interview vid and heard Deb mention this Aldous song. So me being curious (never heard of aldous before), i wanted to see it. Scared the bejabbers outa me (not exactly sure what bejabbers are), gave me the creeps. Took me a whole week before i could rewatch it because i was too disturbed....🤣😂😳 True!
Our toddler is a big Aldous fan. We listen to her music regularly during relaxing times. Sometimes after a 15 minute Baby Signs session, we’ll play her a music video as an outro. Put this on and she was in utter rapture until the blue mask part. Never seen her sign “all done” so rapidly or definitively. The thing is, the very next day, when we did Baby Signs, I put on one of her other favorite music videos, and she rejected it, then another, until I put this one on. She watched it until the “big hat on face” moment, then calmly signed “all done”. Turned the TV off and she was happy. My 15-month-old baby is obsessed.
Your toddler got style. Hope she will be an artist. I have three children, they are now almost adults. But I learned that if you offer them good music and art early they develop a certain sense. Today I can say, if something touches them it is a proof that it is really good.
Ok i listened to this Song for a year now. At first I was obsessed with the fact, that the Video is uncanny mystical witch-art, its on the edge of sadness, wisdom, horror and comedy. It offers comedic relief for things there shuldnt be had none. It also offered me a non hardfactual insight into the feelings of (a) woman and I still open myself to let that sink in. But today I decided to write this comment because I realized that this Song is also musically unbelievably groovy and funky. Its just such a joy to dance to it. The groove is unreal, I cant even think of anything that has this soft subtle but brilliant funk to it. So yeah, im unworthy, thank you!
1:37 It's late at night, the city is dark and quiet as the grave. The streetlights on this block are out, you can barely see the sidewalk at your feet. You hastily turn a corner hoping for a shortcut down a secluded alleyway and see this uncanny figure silently gesticulating at you. Your soul is irrevocably altered.
This song always reminds me of my grade 7 math teacher. He was the best teacher I've ever had. He always played this during tests and when we went to a camp with class he played this to wake us all up. Best teacher ever. Going to high-school next year and I'm going to miss him.
What I would give to be a kid again. I know this sounds corny and weird, but enjoy the time you're living in right now. Things will get crazy and hard one day, and these days will be something you go back to forever, as a source of strength and identity. Things might suck sometimes, but these will be some of the best and most important of your life.
Teachers like this are extremely rare. Cherish the memories you have. He has certainly entered your psyche and will influence,however subtly,everything you do from now on until you die. He is a great man.
If you haven't, tell him. And thank him. I have written our spoke with teachers from my past who made a deep positive impact on me, to thank them and tell them so. There's one that I tried to, but he died before I could. 😞
Quite a catchy song, infectious even. The video is also an attention-grabber due to it's bizarro nature. But after delving more into her music, I realized what unparalleled talent this lady is. There's really no one out there like her right now. Even with her quirky delivery, I'm very impressed.
I think you mean, ESPECIALLY with her quirky delivery :) but yes, it is infectious, this is probably my 10th time here in the last 3 days.... Aldous is a poetic genius. What I would give to have tea with her just once.
I can't stress enough how wonderful the construction of this song is. the lyrics is so intricate and exposing but so secluded at the same time. and the composition and production of the music is so gently done. You can feel a needle fall in-between the space and neatly placed hits of the arrangement.
Beautiful song, flawless and mesmerising. The video is just sublime, I can't stop watching her dance, I love it when she looks straight into camera just nodding her head to the beat, she has great natural rhythm. I've just realised that I've repeated this video over and over again for 40 minutes while I read everyone else's comments. I can't stop smiling, this is so good, I love it ❤️
It feels like magic. 1:59 and 2:31 give me chills. If you explore her countenance. Perhaps she's genuinely realizing/feeling the magic. Must be overwhelming. I've no idea. Would be nice to ask her......
This is pure Dada . The words can have emotional effect whether or not objective meaningis there or not . I love this song and I like her work as I discover more and more !
Pj harvey and all the sweet lesbians of the ninties.ani difranco let me kiss her hairy axilla wayback Can still smell the patchouli 🤗🤗🤗 i played this 10 times
I first heard about this song from someone I've loved like no one else. Years after and with a lot of pain involved, I still can't run away from this song. It doesn't matter when or where I stumble across it, it brings me to the very same place of not knowing what the future might bring. Now I know that it brought a lot of pain. And even though quite a while has passed, I still feel every single bit of this song. Except now I truly know what a transient hunt love is. I don't think I'll ever be able to feel how I felt before. Or maybe I will never be able to stop feeling it, even if only inside my own little egg. "And now I sleep 'side words you do not read with me". We can't run away from how we feel.
"And now I sleep 'side words you do not read with me". Take a wild guess what Aldous was singing right as I read those words in your post. Coincidence? _Nothing this woman does is coincidence!!_ She transcends time.
I saw your comment and went to find out about Jodorowsky. Havent seen the film. But have begun an inquiry... so far only learning about it from a distance. I hope i have the strength to see the film but feel a little hesitant. Fear it will send my brain into a dark place, not the reverse. RUclips comments in a time of pandemic. Opening worlds through a 6/8 in screen. Bizarre.
@@MarloweDash John Lennon and Yoko Ono were so taken by his previous film, El Topo, they helped finance the making of The Holy Mountain. John and Yoko were early purveyors of the midnight movie scene, of which El Topo was one such film that gained a cult status by the early morning screenings. In my opinion, El Topo might be a more difficult watch than The Holy Mountain.
Jodorowsky.... overwhelm a little with all the BIG conflicts and awareness of my first world complicity and comfort. I find relief by watching Detectorists. Have you seen it? Brilliant 3 series show by MacKenzie Crook. Brings me back down to ground, joyous, profound too. Just found it during covid. Johnny Flynn score is also wonderful. :)
I've listened to this song a thousand times now (ok, 47 times) and it still gets me, intrigues me. The lyrics, the video, the voice(s), the music: all breathes good art for me. So gentle indeed ;)
What a refreshingly original sound . It's quirky, catchy, tuneful and utterly unique. This is the sort of music I have been missing all these years. Bravo to Aldous Harding. Hope to hear lots more from you .
@@boxturtleblue Can you send me the link please ? I can't locate it anywhere :( . Also went through all of the Twins' albums and tracks. Can't find this song!
@@johnconway8070 I see what happened! We were referencing COMPLETELY different things. I watched a video of Miley Cyrus performing a cover of Heaven Or Las Vegas which has nothing whatsoever to do with “The Barrel” and I’m really not sure how your comment on this video was visible to me there. It is the only video I watched that day. Fun fact though: Aldous Harding was born the year that “Heaven or alas Vegas” was released. :) Random find while trying to figure out why you mentioned Aldous at all!
Hypnotized by the music, the words that I can occasionally understand, and, the three thousand plus comments, I cannot imagine a day going by without hearing/seeing it again, at least until I understand why
what on earth? i'm bewildered and intrigued. i just clicked on a visually striking thumb, not knowing or even thinking beyond impulse. but i'm like captivated now.
I just joked with my GF saying that this girl must be from New Zealand - I was right! Kiwi's are in their own lane with art and comedy! I'm endlessly finding New Zealand music and entertainment that is second to none!

You really put some thought into this 😂

I like to think that people used to dance like this in ye olde times.

Often happens to me - watch out for it/
She's David Bowie and Laurie Anderson's love child.
I was trying to remember this song and googled "show the ferret to the egg" thinking that it couldn't possibly be correct. But here I am.
That's like when I typed "lalala song" and got "Loving You" by Minnie Riperton. One of those songs that's so weirdly annoying that I have to hear it again.

...and that is how to find obscure but great music.
We also would’ve accepted “look at all the peaches”.
I was on a dancefloor last week and a random dude said I danced like aldous harding and it might be the best compliment I've ever received
Truly the highest praise. I've given similar compliments and it has always been rewarding (got a 5+ year relationship out of one!).
I heard this song on the radio and I thought to myself, "I'll bet this song has a really bizarre video".
I am not disappointed.

Have you come back repeatedly?
Aldous Harding is to music what Stewart Lee is to comedy - they both skate the fine line between utterly ridiculous and utterly compelling like absolute pro's.
Man I just love the backing vocal on this. Really elevates the second half of the song.
the backing vox are great, kind of carefree and jubilant, with a sort of defiance... totally agree :)

Brilliant comment. Rather than embellish this lyrics, they emphasize them!
Sounds like Matt Berninger but can't find a credit anywhere.

This video has the aura of an old-timey haunted oil painting that stares at you when you look away

I do this in the cheese aisle it’s my cheese dance
Millions of Peaches peaches for me. Millions of Peaches peaches for free!!! Remember that one? LOL!!!! That was done by The Presidents of the United States of America!!!!

YEAS! that is one of my favorite scenes in this video. Aldous is so beautiful, and she is so wonderful at everything she does.
Yeah her face is astonishing in this
If she didn’t have that special attraction, she would be lost in the crowd. How to bring ordinary to mesmerizing- this is it.
I feel like this all took place in a well-lit uterus.
Haha. Don't forget the vaginal canal aka "the barrel".

Exactly. The start is a journey up the vagina.

There's one that I tried to, but he died before I could. 😞
Gosh I would want a teacher who played this song 😭
Tell him so.
It's incredibly sad yet filled with life and humanity. Life, love, loss... and yet it's all still so evidently beautiful and precious
Quite a catchy song, infectious even. The video is also an attention-grabber due to it's bizarro nature. But after delving more into her music, I realized what unparalleled talent this lady is. There's really no one out there like her right now. Even with her quirky delivery, I'm very impressed.
I think you mean, ESPECIALLY with her quirky delivery :) but yes, it is infectious, this is probably my 10th time here in the last 3 days.... Aldous is a poetic genius. What I would give to have tea with her just once.
Bizzaro is exactly how I described it haha
Amazing artist.
This is one of the most brilliant songs ever written and I can't believe I just found out about it an hour ago
I completely concur
9 months later and I’m saying the same thing
I'm so glad.
I ordered the CD. It will be here today! :) Love this song.
me too!
who else is gonna admit to trying some of those moves after viewing a few times ?
Hahahaha yes 😂
Haha
Requires rhythm and timing that I have yet to master ☹
I've been told it's how I dance. So. I'm very proud!
Why wouldn't you, no one can help it!
I can't stress enough how wonderful the construction of this song is. the lyrics is so intricate and exposing but so secluded at the same time. and the composition and production of the music is so gently done. You can feel a needle fall in-between the space and neatly placed hits of the arrangement.
Huh?
Best oversized hat since Jamiroquai. I love the song. Backing vocals on the second half : genius
Serving high-fashion pilgrim REALNESS.
You misspelled "realness' for WEIRDNESS.
How can this only have 1,500,000 views? I've watched it nearly a million times myself
It's now nearing 3 million.
It brings so much nostalgia- beautiful song!
I showed this to a friend and she said, "I feel like I have to burn sage now".
bwahahaha. bewitching
From the way she moves and looks I think she's already been over smudged!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
LMFAOOOOOOOOOO
I have to watch/listen to this at least once every day....WHY??
because it's brilliant and uses imagination! to guide the song- what a notion
The power of hat compels you!!!!
I'm afraid one day I will open a random door and find myself in this room.
I'm afraid one day we all will.
I've already been there.
You need to stop opening random doors.
But yes agreed, I watch this and other Harding videos and think they might find there way into my sleep
I feel like it would be a pretty good time. Just be sure to turn back when you see the ladder. Anything after the ladder is not a good time.
i actually saw it on a horror movie about a girl in a theater school
She's stark raving mad and I love her!
the dancing, the looks, the hat, impecable concept. i love every second of this.
Beautiful song, flawless and mesmerising. The video is just sublime, I can't stop watching her dance, I love it when she looks straight into camera just nodding her head to the beat, she has great natural rhythm. I've just realised that I've repeated this video over and over again for 40 minutes while I read everyone else's comments. I can't stop smiling, this is so good, I love it ❤️
I could have written the very same comment.
Me and u both kiddo. 1:21-1:24 is just absolute, pinpoint perfection
Ditto
It feels like magic. 1:59 and 2:31 give me chills. If you explore her countenance. Perhaps she's genuinely realizing/feeling the magic. Must be overwhelming. I've no idea. Would be nice to ask her......
Same here
This is pure Dada . The words can have emotional effect whether or not objective meaningis there or not . I love this song and I like her work as I discover more and more !
She's Dorina❤
God. I can’t stop watching this. I’m horrified and transfixed. It’s grotesque and beautiful. Very special indeed.
Welcome to Aldous Harding
I know EXACTLY how you feel
Congratulations to whoever worked on this song. Really well produced
Very addicting visually and audibly.
Everything about it is so disarming and warm.
It's disarmingly dry at the beginning. Really subtly unique sound.
I will never ever get tired of this.
this and "blend"... great! 👏🏻 ❤
Never.
I keep coming back to this video again and again, and every time I am delighted and oddly soothed.
Me too
I love it n cocteau twins
Pj harvey and all the sweet lesbians of the ninties.ani difranco let me kiss her hairy axilla wayback
Can still smell the patchouli 🤗🤗🤗 i played this 10 times
She's the perfect blend.
I first heard about this song from someone I've loved like no one else. Years after and with a lot of pain involved, I still can't run away from this song. It doesn't matter when or where I stumble across it, it brings me to the very same place of not knowing what the future might bring. Now I know that it brought a lot of pain. And even though quite a while has passed, I still feel every single bit of this song. Except now I truly know what a transient hunt love is.
I don't think I'll ever be able to feel how I felt before. Or maybe I will never be able to stop feeling it, even if only inside my own little egg.
"And now I sleep 'side words you do not read with me".
We can't run away from how we feel.
"And now I sleep 'side words you do not read with me". Take a wild guess what Aldous was singing right as I read those words in your post. Coincidence? _Nothing this woman does is coincidence!!_ She transcends time.
I've watched this about 20 times today. I'm literally obsessed with everything about this. She is my spirit animal!
Agree
I'm quaking in my oats
HAHA..!..
Let me feels my oats let me feel my oatsss
Best comment on the internet today.
*when see you mary margaret churning butter vigorously*
🤣🤣🤣
That hat is clearly for smuggling fire extinguishers!
Alejandro Jodorowsky's 'The Holy Mountain' comes to mind while watching this video.
Exactly what I was thinking 🙂
I saw your comment and went to find out about Jodorowsky. Havent seen the film. But have begun an inquiry... so far only learning about it from a distance. I hope i have the strength to see the film but feel a little hesitant. Fear it will send my brain into a dark place, not the reverse. RUclips comments in a time of pandemic. Opening worlds through a 6/8 in screen. Bizarre.
@@MarloweDash John Lennon and Yoko Ono were so taken by his previous film, El Topo, they helped finance the making of The Holy Mountain. John and Yoko were early purveyors of the midnight movie scene, of which El Topo was one such film that gained a cult status by the early morning screenings. In my opinion, El Topo might be a more difficult watch than The Holy Mountain.
Jodorowsky.... overwhelm a little with all the BIG conflicts and awareness of my first world complicity and comfort. I find relief by watching Detectorists. Have you seen it? Brilliant 3 series show by MacKenzie Crook. Brings me back down to ground, joyous, profound too. Just found it during covid. Johnny Flynn score is also wonderful. :)
that hat dem shoes
"Hey, Jodorowsky, can I borrow your hat?"
"Only if you're planning to do something as weird as what I'd do with it."
"...Yes."
Vikram Mulligan yeah it reminded me of Holy Mountain. Creepy shit.
record deal+international distribution=The real life Holy Mountain for some people
She is bathing in Jodrovski Esoteric waves. Bringing it into music. No joke! Love it!
was waiting for someone to make the link!
Knew I wasn’t the only one thinking this!
I've come back to this at least fifty times over the past week. It's mesmerizing, ever so slightly unsettling, and yet powerfully anodyne.
I've listened to this song a thousand times now (ok, 47 times) and it still gets me, intrigues me.
The lyrics, the video, the voice(s), the music: all breathes good art for me. So gentle indeed ;)
Niet overdrijven allemaal hm... it's just a song ;)
Same feeling. I discovered this gem in July and here I am listening to it at least twice a day 😌 it has something I can't even put into words.
her smile :) and assuming she’s most likely Irish thi scots [make sentence seem one yet both to cover..its caked-vagueness thi used soaringly]
What a refreshingly original sound . It's quirky, catchy, tuneful and utterly unique. This is the sort of music I have been missing all these years. Bravo to Aldous Harding. Hope to hear lots more from you .
Have you heard “the” original version by the Cocteau Twins? If not, look it up and Enjoy!
@@boxturtleblue Can you send me the link please ? I can't locate it anywhere :( . Also went through all of the Twins' albums and tracks. Can't find this song!
@@johnconway8070 yes! Here it is! ruclips.net/video/6KnYw4EwYGc/видео.html
@@boxturtleblue You're obviously taking the piss ! "Heaven or Las Vegas" is *not* "The Barrel"
@@johnconway8070 I see what happened! We were referencing COMPLETELY different things. I watched a video of Miley Cyrus performing a cover of Heaven Or Las Vegas which has nothing whatsoever to do with “The Barrel” and I’m really not sure how your comment on this video was visible to me there. It is the only video I watched that day. Fun fact though: Aldous Harding was born the year that “Heaven or alas Vegas” was released. :) Random find while trying to figure out why you mentioned Aldous at all!
Delightful, dark, and infectious. I keep returning to this, over and over.
Before I ever watched this I saw it in a dream.
I honestly cannot tell if I am unsettled or the most at ease I have ever been.
Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comforted.
Hypnotized by the music, the words that I can occasionally understand, and, the three thousand plus comments, I cannot imagine a day going by without hearing/seeing it again, at least until I understand why
Holy fucking hell ... this song is doing all sorts of beautiful, warm, heartbreaking things to me. I am in love with this song
She is so weird I love her.
Me too! I'd like to meet her.
@@santiagobenites I have, after a gig here in Melbourne in the pub she used to live in...she's lovely, and shy.
@@raithbheartaigh4946 Awesome!
She and Jessica Pratt are the most exciting things to happen to music in a long time. Baroque folk in 2019.

"The Barrel" was the highest debut on the New Alternative 40 Chart this week at #2.
New Zealand is the happening
If you say so.Lol
WHAT ON EARTH WAS NUMBER ONE!??
this was like realizing were not alone in the universe
what on earth? i'm bewildered and intrigued. i just clicked on a visually striking thumb, not knowing or even thinking beyond impulse. but i'm like captivated now.
I'm disabled and crying with laughter at this, a dance I can do at last 😂😂😂
Love her sense of humor about herself.♥️🗯🎶
I just wonder how this video could become one of my favorite videos ever?!
But then again, this is just perfection!
Award for the best comments everyone of these. I’m literally dying here. Loved the song too.. video doesn’t disappoint.
I just joked with my GF saying that this girl must be from New Zealand - I was right! Kiwi's are in their own lane with art and comedy! I'm endlessly finding New Zealand music and entertainment that is second to none!
It seems like New Zealander's have an amazing sense of humor.
Home of Bjork, that makes sense
And the sugarcubes before that of course
@@openplz3000 Bjork is from Iceland actually
@@eltravos99 my bad
this lady can dance...
I've made up my mind! Aldous is definitely my favorite artist!
