    i work with people with dementia, up until their final moments and i cannot express the heartache that this song captures. I cannot explain with words the helplessness you feel around people suffering with the disease. They have lost their children, they have lost their loves, they just sit in silence and let the picture soak out of televisions. SUCH PERFECT LYRICS.

    Wow. Just wow. I'm a huge Daughter fan, and over the years of obsessing over their music, I noticed that their songs sound more profound and jarring when you're in the mood for dark and somber music. On the rare occasions that I'm happy, I can't listen to them at all. But days like today, it's all I listen to. Maybe I'm crazy for wanting to wallow in my misery, but their music makes me feel alive when I don't want to be.

      You're not crazy at all. It's even the opposite, you're in good mental health. Hearing sad song make actually people happy, by a cathartic effect. It's like allowing our emotions to be express, by the media of art.

    I work with an ederly couple and it's just like this. He's 72 and she's 73 and she has dementia/Alzheimer's . He is heartbroken and lonely living in the house they built together watching her deteriorating right before his eyes. He said I'll never forget the day the nurse asked if she could tell her who I was and she said I don't know. He said I went to the barn and cried like a baby. My heart aches for him. He tells stories of how active and kind she was and to see how she can barely walk now with assistance kills us. She still smiles and laughs however so I'm going to keep it going as long as I can and he says my company helps so that's something.

    Lyrics:
    And they’re making children
    And they’re making love
    With their old excuses
    "We are built for reproduction"
    But I find it soothing
    When I am confined
    I’m just fearing one day soon
    I’ll lose my mind
    Then I’ll lose my children
    Then I’ll lose my love
    Then I’ll sit in silence
    Let the picture(s) soak
    Out of televisions
    Float across the room
    Whisper into one ear
    Out the other one
    (Instrumental break)
    Then I’ll take my clothes off
    And I’ll walk around
    Because it’s so nice outside
    And I like the way the sun feels
    And when it’s dark
    I’ll call out in the night for my mother
    But she isn’t coming back for me
    Cause she’s already gone
    But you will not tell me that
    Cause you know it hurts me every time you say it
    And you know you are doing the right thing
    You must know you are doing the right thing
    I have lost my children
    I have lost my love
    I just sit in silence
    Let the picture(s) soak
    Out of televisions x5
    (Instrumental break)
    And they’re making children
    Everyone’s in love
    I just sit in silence
    Let the picture(s) soak...
    *please let me know if any of the lyrics need to be corrected :)

      +Edward Marshall Did you know that referring to old people as "cute" is actually quite demeaning? Not trying to be mean here, I just couldn't help but comment because in your reply you state that "elderlies" is derogatory and then you go on to call old people "cute." There is an ongoing agreement in our culture that it's okay to refer to elderly people as cute, and yet it only reinforces a prejudices ageism, there is a loss of respect and dignity when people who have lived the extraordinary ups and down of an entire lifetime are reduced to being "cute." Old people know more emotional, mental, and physical pain than anyone, they know the spectrum of human diversity and experience, "cute" was the first 10 years of their life, what of the journey that followed the next 70 years thereafter? I'm not so sure cute is the word I would use to describe such an immense achievement.

    AND THE MARRIAGE PHOTOS AND THE RING ON HIS FINGER
    but i mean most of all, the fucking lyrics. there are no words to describe how much each and every one of daughter's songs touch me, but this song gets me every. time.
    i also want to say that i did just watch three other daughter music videos so the 'oh my god i am about to cry' level was already quiite high

This song is very heartbreaking for me, every time I listen to it I always get tears. Thank you Elena for sharing your art with the world, I am lucky to always be able to listen to you, your music has always helped me to remove the sadness that I carry inside, thank you.

    As someone who has seen multiple family members go through Alzheimers and Dementia. Its terrifying, and this song really puts weight to all of that.
    "And when it’s dark
    I’ll call out in the night for my mother
    But she isn’t coming back for me
    Cause she’s already gone"
    I've seen my family members call out for family that has already died, and then to explain to them that the people they love are no longer there anymore, and watch them go through the heartbreak again, just like the previous day you explained it. Life is precious. Don't waste it. Spend time with the people you love. Tell them you love them, show them you love them. Because tomorrow is never promised.

      My mother works at a hospital for the elderly who have Alzheimers, and just hearing about the families breaks my heart. My mother comes home and tells me about her patients (of course not specifically, that would break the confidentiality) and they don't remember their own children or grandchildren. It breaks my heart just thinking about the patients being so confused and conflicted. The family crying because they have lost their loved one. I really feel for everyone who is going through this. You can get through it.

    We start our lives with everything- a family, a home, a life ahead of us. All of our life we experience and learn and struggle, and we still inevitably die with nothing anyway. It's the ultimate paradox that once we have the experience and knowledge to really love properly, there's nothing left for us. How sad.

    I feel like there was a time when this would have been too much for me. it would have been too depressing and it would have served, to me at least, as some sort of grim reminder of the pain and suffering that the worlds seems to be full of.
    Now I can't see how i could have ever been so blind. i want to put it into perspective and say that I've had my own fight with anxiety and depression since I was very young. the above statement is reflective of who i was as a teenager. Now at 22 I see things in a completely different light.
    This video, this song, as Daughter's work most often does, makes me cry. it make me bawl, it makes me feel a sadness so incredibly deep that, paradoxically, it feels empowering. If I've suffered in this way, if so many people that come to these videos have suffered in some way, then it means we need to make a change.
    I no longer feel that this music is willing me to be depressed, instead it should stand as the impetus to spread as much love throughout the world as I can. If you feel saddened by what you see and hear, let that motivate you to do everything you can to make a difference in this world.

      Thank you for such powerful and consoling words.I myself currently struggle with depression, anxiety and post traumatic stress. I'm so grateful to be reminded that through the grievances and the hurt I have suffered, there is beauty in the world and I can be an avenue of perpetuation of said beauty.

    • @leviacronym6770
      @leviacronym6770 5 лет назад +1

      Lots of people will hear Daughter and automatically call the band's music "depressing" because they don't know what depression really is. Something being depressing is more than just feeling "sad". The only ones, like you and me, that can understand it are those that have gone through depression. So yeah, I get why the happy people would misuse the word, lol. But could this music help enhance people's depression? Maybe, but it doesn't for me personally. As someone that suffers from mental illness, depression being part of it, since I was a teenager (in my 30's now), I can safely say this type of music doesn't depress me at all. If anything, it liberates me. It feels real, and I can relate to it on many levels. If I need a good cry, it's always there and lets me release all of my feelings without hurting myself. No amount of "happy" pop music or banging bad ass metal can ever hope to do an inch of what Daughter and other talented musicians do for me. Music has played an important role in my life, and I honestly believe that without it, I would have killed myself when I was much younger. Obviously, Daughter and other music, is different for everyone, but for me, for someone that has suffered depression, anxiety, and more, since I was a kid, I can say this music is both freeing and comforting for me. But I do think you're right that this music can help motivate you into doing something to make others happy, or just to live your life more fully since tomorrow is never promised to us.

    • @bruh666
      @bruh666 4 года назад +1

  • @BlodTussi
    @BlodTussi 8 лет назад +78

    God, this song AND video strikes me hard in the feels. I recently discovered Daughter and I am already obsessed with several songs. I have to say that this video actually makes sense with the music. Can't tell you how many songs have weird, kinda out there videos that don't always correlate to the song itself. But this one works very well. Separately, both are strong, but put together, they make my eyes water. It's so sad, so realistic, and it makes me want to cry. I LOVE this song so much along with Still and Landfill.
    The part in the song/video that gets to me the most is:
    And when it’s dark
    I’ll call out in the night for my mother
    But she isn’t coming back for me
    Cause she’s already gone
    But you will not tell me that
    Cause you know it hurts me every time you say it
    And you know you are doing the right thing
    You must know you are doing the right thing

    The actress walking by with her bf and beer really did a great job of pulling in the video. Her face conveyed so much in the way of letting us know that she felt bad /was willing to be nice yet was in another world from him. Perfect moment where everyone including the director killed it and actually presented an undertone of emotion that sums up how different the world can be even within the same physical space.

I don't know what to do, knowing that I'll have to watch her life come to sitting in silence, letting the pictures soak out of televisions (she really likes to watch TV). Just thought I'd write this down somewhere, to make myself more aware of it.

    Lyrics for russian guys
    (перевод взял с амальгамы)
    Они заводят детей
    И занимаются любовью,
    По традиции оправдывая это тем,
    Что созданы для продолжения рода.
    А я нахожу успокаивающим,
    Когда сижу в четырех стенах.
    Я лишь боюсь, что однажды
    Сойду с ума.
    Затем я потеряю своих детей,
    Затем я потеряю свою любовь,
    Затем я буду сидеть в тишине,
    Впитывать картинки
    Из телевизора,
    Плывущие по комнате,
    Шепчущие в одно ухо
    И вылетающие из другого.
    Затем я скину одежду
    И пойду гулять,
    Потому что снаружи так хорошо,
    И мне нравится ощущать на себе лучи солнца.
    А когда стемнеет,
    Я буду звать в ночи свою мать
    Но она не вернется за мной,
    Потому что ее уже нет.
    Но я знаю, что ты мне этого не скажешь,
    Потому что ты знаешь, как мне больно это слышать от тебя каждый раз.
    И ты знаешь, что поступаешь правильно,
    Ты должен знать о том, что поступаешь правильно.
    Я потеряла своих детей,
    Я потеряла любовь.
    Я просто сижу в тишине
    И впитываю картинки
    Из телевизора,
    Из телевизора,
    Из телевизора,
    Из телевизора,
    Из телевизора.
    Они заводят детей,
    Все влюблены...
    А я сижу в тишине
    И впитываю картинки...

    He starts off walking downhill, which is relatively easy for him, but after getting her dress, he has to walk uphill, and it becomes harder for him, as he makes his way back. The symbolism is great there, especially when he walks by a happy couple and right after, has to sit down and rest and he ends up breaking down and crying. Then there's the kids at the end, full of life and happy, kicking trash around, which looks like dust/ash. This video and the music, of course, is just so heart breaking beautiful and meaningful. The pictures, the mementos around the room, and then the empty room...a lot of us can relate to this. I've heard this song and watched this video many times and it never fails to strike me hard in the chest. Judging by all the comments, a lot of people have been just as moved, and some more so than others. Loss is so hard for so many people and Daughter captures it perfectly.

She is no longer suffering here and I thank God for that even it that means not seeing or hugging her anymore.

    I shed a tear I love the music, the poetry Daughter produces. This one is once again a story beautifully told. A portrait regarding Alzheimer disease or dementia so I think.
    I'm frozen, the music video elaborated it so well....
    "I’m just fearing one day soon I’ll lose my mind
    Then I’ll lose my children
    Then I’ll lose my love
    Then I’ll sit in silence
    Let the pictures soak"

    Daughter's music always bring emotions out of me. Happy, sad, vengeful, whatever. It's always so deep I have to stop what I'm doing and listen, or watch. This video made me cry, I'm not gonna lie. But the fact that her voice, lyrics, and simple projection of something so huge in the span of 6 minutes wows me. Daughter will always be one of my favorites.

    As a teenager i worked taking care of an eldery woman who had Alzheimer's disease and i used to sit at her feet and give her a hair brush to calm her when she would have anxiety. Nothing sums up the experience quite as much as this song does. The first time I heard this song it woke me up , i had fallen asleep watching RUclips. This song has deep meaning for me and is very much for the purge of emotion and mental healing. It will forever be a favorite of mine. Thank you for putting your hearts in your music.

  • @FalsettoSlumber
    @FalsettoSlumber 9 лет назад +9

    My grandmother has Alzheimer's, and whilst it's progressing, she can still remember us. It seems awful, but part of me hopes that her terminal cancer, or her diabetes, takes her first, before she forgets who we are, or who she is. My grandmother is one of the most important people in my life; I based my final year fine art degree show project on my relationship with her, about her memories, and my memories. Without her to inspire me, I would never have passed. Wouldn't be doing a mental health nursing degree to help people in her position. Wouldn't be who I am today.
    This is an excellently done video, I cried my eyes out. Just today, before I watched this, I bought tickets for my partner and I to see Daughter in January, and I'm so very glad I did, if this is what the quality of their new album will be...

  • @misan9821
    @misan9821 5 лет назад +5

    I didn't much think about this song being about Alzheimer until I saw the video.
    I was more fond of the idea how this song goes with the main theme of screwed up past and how you passively suffer under all these painful past memories (let the pictures soak). Similar to how daughter portrayed this kind of pain in their song Youth.
    This song is just going one step further in the stages of despair and broken life.
    The apathetic uttering of "Then I'll lose my children, love" only makes it more clear, that the feelings earlier expressed are vanishing away. How through all this pain, you get numb for any kind of feeling and just sit there in silence.
    This song symbolizes heart break over the past so perfectly, that even after the smug feeling in the beginning of the song of "and they're making children with their old excuses" you suddenly have the reveal of how broken of a personality you actually are, you go outside and then the reality dawns on you, you cry for your mother.
    You try so much to revive your alive self of the past, that you go out and see how nice the sun feels, but there are still so many things that make you dead inside.
    Guess every song has a different meaning for everyone. And I see how my opinion on the lyrics only reflects my situation. Funny.

    • @leviacronym6770
      @leviacronym6770 4 года назад +2

      You're neither wrong nor right. Music (and poems) have always been meant to be interpreted by the listener/reader. Some musicians understand this and refuse to tell their fans what each song was inspired by, what it means to them personally. Everyone always listens to a song and then wants someone to tell them what it means, what it's about. I just like to listen and feel the music, and come to my own conclusion. I do like to hear other's thoughts on it, which is why I read and commented on yours.

    I can't really explain what this song means to me, the way it makes me wander through my memories, and some of my deepest fears...
    When I was 8 years old, my aunt passed away from cancer, and I've seen her suffering, she was in pain. Her death has caused the worst feeling that I've ever felt, and, someday, I am going to face this feeling again, and I'm afraid. Maybe, someday, I will have children, and maybe a wife, but, somehow, I feel that I am going to die alone, that I am going to lose my loved ones, and I will have to face this feeling again... But alone. And maybe, near death...
