Lyrics:
As long as I stand
To face the crowd
To know my name
To know its sound
It’s good to be soft
When they push you down
Oh God turn me into a flower
It always takes me
It’s such a curse to be so hard
You shatter easily
And can’t pick up all those shards
It’s the curse of losing yourself
When the mirror takes you too far
Oh God turn me into a flower
You see the reflection
And you want it more than the truth
You yearn to be that dream
You could never get to
‘Cause the person on the other side
Has always just been you
Oh God turn me into a flower

I didn't think there could be a more beautiful and stunning song than 'Movies', but Natalie has proved me wrong. Her talent is immense.
They're my thoughts exactly too x
Stole the words from my mouth
that's one of my favorites from her too. such a great one.
Honestly I can name like 5 songs of hers better than movies🔥movies is SO good but she has such a loaded discography
I just saw here at the Greek Theater 2 weeks ago.when she sang this song and played this video everyone in the audience was crying.
this song is probably the closest we’ll get to what it feels like to ascend to heaven… incredible
And So It Goes by Mac 🔝
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t cry to this song, truly one the most beautiful performances by a singer-songwriter ever
thank you
@@weyesbloodI LOVE YOU NATALIE
@@weyesbloodDO MORE SONGS WITH LANA
THISSSS AND ORIGINAL SONG NOT A COVER PLEASEEE@@staticturbulence
@@weyesbloodsee you in Barcelona ❤
life is pain and hope and horror and beauty and this song makes me feel peace with being human.
thank you Natalie, always 💜
thank you for understanding how its absolutely all those things
this music video has caused me to reflect on the meaning of life. As time passes on, the good time and bad times become memories until one day our life is finished and our memories are no more. Life is beautiful even when it's hard to see it, and what thing is the definition of beautiful? a flower. The idea of life becoming a flowers is the personification of the beauty. despite all the hardship in life; humans are beautiful beings, and that can never be taken from us.
beautiful sentiments
Beautiful album
i haven’t cried this hard in a while, this is one of my favorite songs ever and has been since it’s came out. what an amazing video to accompany it i love you so much natalie thank you for creating such meaningful and breathtaking art💘🌸🌺
For the record, I still cry sometimes when I watch this video too. Adam Curtis has such a special talent for weaving together cognitive dissonances into a beautiful tapestry.
@@weyesblood you both did such an amazing job💘 thank you so much for replying😭😭 i’ve listened to your albums thousands of times you mean so much to me💘
@@weyesblood How did you discover Curtis? He's as deep as Cohen and Campbell for me (Leonard and Joseph) and I didn't think anybody even knew who he was here. Who reached out to whom?
Thank you for existing Natalie & Weyes Bl00d. You make this life worth living, despite all going on. God bless.
i don’t really remember things well but i do remember the incredible amount of emotion that i felt watching this performed live- absolutely amazing. i used to not understand how songs could be so beautiful that they make people cry, but now i do.
And directed by Adam Curtis - wonderful, beautiful, poetic. What a treasure it is that humans make art to share with others. How they can express what we all feel deep inside. Thank you 💖
I should have known, he used that gym workout clip at the start in Hypernormalisation I believe. Two legends in their respective field coming together
I've had a difficult 2 years of being ill and Weyes Blood's music has been a source of comfort and hope for me. This song makes me feel like my soul is at peace even when my body is suffering - like i can leave all my troubles behind for a while. It's truly transcendent.
Hope you're able to get better soon 🤍
I was front row centre for her first live performance of this song. So incredible.
same here. it was unreal. definitely something a person should experience in this lifetime
I'm going to see her for first time in november. Can't wait to experience this :)
So was I!!! It was my first concert ever and I cried nearly every song haha. She’s amazing
I missed the concert at the Greek because my friend died that morning. I thought her music would be a reminder but it's more comforting...this beautiful yet haunting song. Perfect. Goodbye Richard.
I'm so sorry to hear that.. sending you some support right now. I'm so glad its comforting.
It's like she's showing us how she feels as an outsider in this world and how much pain we carry while we try to understand the "whys" of every suffering in this world and how we must be watchers of all of this while we're victims too. It's painful to feel that you don't belong anywhere when all you see and feel is pain among so much beauty.
Wow you phrased that amazingly... Any advice on how to deal with it? It can be overwhelming sometimes :(
the pain and beauty of the spectrum of human emotion. thank you weyes, your art is excepcional.
this was so much more visceral than i was expecting. it feels like despite how much i love this song, this video just presented an entire new layer to it that i never even thought of before. genuinely my favorite song ever for a reason. what a video. shoutout adam and shoutout natalie
this video captures the way in which we as humans get wrapped up in the oddities of our lives that feel incomparably important and defining in the moment, things that become nothing more than puzzling ephemera in the future. i’d like to think that someday someone will stumble across some pictures or videos of me or my loved ones and marvel at our rich but entirely momentary inner worlds. your work is beyond compare natalie
beautifully said
i've never felt more grief and peace at the same time than i do right now
One of the highlights of the concert for me!
Full body tingles, Adam Curtis' "Century of the Self" was deeply formative for me, and recently discovered Weyes Blood almost equally so, and to find them paired?!? Harmonic universal resonance has just blinded, stunned, and deafened me to anything else. Wow. I'm here for eternity.
The perfect bedtime song.
When I listen to the end of the song I picture walking into the most beautiful garden with the natural light hitting in all the right places with someone special dressed in all white sitting in a chair covered in flowers and greenery, I get chills all over and my eyes start to water
I wish I could direct a scene how it plays out in my head with this song playing over it one day
ay, Natalia. ¿sabías que este tema marcó mi vida? hay un antes y un después en mí con God turn me into a flower.
y este video me llega a lo más profundo; me hizo llorar y agradecer que creaste esta obra de arte junto a OPN.
te amo, morra.
total
Ojos llorosos
May we all become flowers, and see that truth now.
Favourite artist in the world right now. I cannot begin to describe how her music has saved me through some tough times. It's life changing.
watching this live was a beauty. thank you so much weyes blood ❤️❤️
As the kids used to say Weyes Blood gives me the feels. This song & video in particular
One of the most affecting pieces of art I've seen in a while. A lot is familiar here to Adam Curtis fans... the workout video clips, poverty juxtaposed with excess, etc... and scoring it is probably the most gorgeous song I've heard this year. Beautiful stuff
the beauty of this song never fails to overwhelm me i love it so so much
Esto no es solo una cancion, es una experiencia...
2:40 - i know that feeling all too well. Great song. So soothing and brings many emotions to the surface. 🫶🏻
My most listened to album this year - it just keeps giving.
your music touches my heart in a way i can’t describe. so thankful
I saw you in Carrboro, NC and got to take a picture with you after the show. You are saving modern music - god bless you and your band. You have got IT (and you know it, too!) Thank you for creating such a beautiful meaningful song which will resonate with me for the rest of my life. I will never forget it. Stoked for part 3 of the trilogy. Thank you, Natalie!
Eu fico encantada com cada detalhe de TODOS os álbuns dela, tudo tem um conceito, muita criatividade e o que falar da estética visual dos cenários, roupas....?! ✨ Você brilha muito Natalie, tudo que toca vira mágica, a própria Disneyland 💜 love u so so much
this is how i imagine your life flashing before your eyes right before you die. watching this video almost a year after this song came out, a song that has defined my year, was so cathartic.
Sometimes i wish god turn me into a flower, life isn't easy, we have to deal with so hard times...
But sometimes life is a flower, sometimes you will wake up and be glad to be alive, to experience what be alive is...
Sometimes we are a flower in someone's life, making everything more beautiful, making everything better.
That's how I see this MV, life can be bad, good, and both at the same time, we never can control everything around us and this is scary but also cozy.
And at the end, this song is a flower in my life, Weyes Blood makes my days better, makes my life prettier, i think one day i can be a happy person, but until there, her music make my way much easier.
Love, Kaio ❤
Your comments are as beautiful as this song so glad i found this song and its fans i live you ALL
Meu Deus, que obra de arte
This song makes me dive deeply into my emotions ❤🔥
Hearing this song live was actually life changing. This song is so beautiful
I left the religión I was raised in a year ago. All I wanted was truth and in the end I found it. My whole world was broken when I left it. And I asked myself what was the meaning of all this. I feel this song echoes my sentiments, Thank you Natalie
What was your religion and what do you believe in now?
@@TheAmanor123 Jehovahs witnesses. And I believe in loving others and myself
Its so hard to start from scratch and I can relate to this, but there is beauty in letting go of an old cosmology, and there are things to be salvaged into a new one that is more all encompassing of the mysteries in life.
@@weyesbloodyou’re truly a visionary wow
@@weyesbloodyou are so grand. i appreciate you so much. beautiful thought & vision.
this might be one of the most heartwrenchingly beautiful things i’ve ever seen and heard… thank you natalie and adam for this masterpiece ❤️
This is the most beautiful track on earth
I'm speechless... (Already crying btw)
Oh wow! Weyes Blood had this as a background visual while performing this song at her Pittsburgh concert. I didn’t realize it was also the music video but it’s so lovely. Seeing it made me remember hearing it live again and that’s such a special thing
kind of the most beautiful, epic, vulnerable, human video on the internet when u think about it!
I've been waiting for this one ever since I couldn't make it to the tour. Thank you and Adam Curtis both for creating something so evisceral out of this wild time
This might be in my top 10 songs of all time. Natalie's vocals are incredible as always, and alongside the stellar production it makes for a song that is stunning to listen to
p.s. i haven't seen enough people show recognition for the cameo in Caroline Polachek’s MV 🤫
where?

Adam Curtis And Weyes absolutely makes sense
Perhaps appropriate to point out that Adam Curtis is one of the finest living filmmakers.
Casually profound. Nobody else knows how to do this.
Ever since I watched this video Monday, it's been in the back of my mind, when it comes to the forefront, tears well up immediately.
This song was powerful to begin with but I wasn't ready for what the video turned out to be.
It's beautiful. It's harrowing. As others have noted the vulnerability, horror and beauty of life are comingled in this breathtaking lyric and video. While its a glorious offering of Americana, the flashes of historical, social and pop culture imagery do not read as sentimental, nostalgic or preachy. For me, it's a stream of consciousness-style portrait of our--meaning late 20th and 21st century Americans--specific and personal grief. It's our story; our pain. The images of class warfare and oppression from the State put the vulnerability of the song in a chilling new light.
I am currently reading a book discussing the horrors of MK Ultra experiments that were conducted by the CIA on unknowing patients. Images from this video fused with what I've been reading and I wept, I just couldn't stop crying.
I've rambled enough. I'm just trying to say that this song and this video blew me away.
I absolutely agree with what you said. This video had an emotional range that I did not expect.
Do you mind sharing the name of the book you are reading?
I started bawling
Waking up to a new Weyes Blood video is a blessing, you are truly the best Natalie!
OH I'M ABOUT TO GO TO ANOTHER DIMENSION
these visuals with this song gave me chills both times I saw it live. Sitting here watching it on my computer it still gives me chills. absolutely gorgeous and devastatingly tragic.
This is the sublime.
Thank you so much for uploading the visuals.
I don’t think anything can rival the feeling of watching this video after thinking about it for months after her performing with it live back in April,, and I can say that yes. It did make me cry just as it did back then. Truly a masterpiece
I cried watching this live in Utrecht yesterday. Edit, cried again watching this video now
Seeing this live was such a gift. Had me in tears. ❤️
the first time i heard this song i stopped what i was doing and just stared into the abyss contemplating the meaning of life. thank you natalie for sharing your art and giving me hope in humanity for 6 minutes
one of the most moving pieces of art I've ever experienced. So glad to finally have this online, it was life changing in person
A good candidate for my "last" song ❤
E ela não paraaaara, uma artista de verdade! ❤
Song of the century, right here. Weyes Blood moves me to my fucking knees once again, her consistency is insane. 😮😮
This video just added so much more to this song for me. I’ve always loved it and now I do even more. Perfect timing with what’s been going on in the world as well. Thank you❤
i loved seeing this live with this footage playing on the screen in michigan!! so beautiful and really transporting to another plane
i cant fully express how beautiful this song is. im getting a tattoo in its name
Thank you weyes blood. It’s been an awesome ride the last year with the release of In Darkness Hearts Aglow
Adam Curtis re-used some of his footage of Can't Get You Out Of My Head for this
I remember listening to this song while I had a boyfriend, I just hope that Turn me into a flower is very popular one day and Natalie manages to be more recognized
the urgency for human element in everything here...
One of the most beautiful experiences, thank you
I wish every human could really HEAR this song - I believe it has the power to heal souls.
oh she just created world peace with this
This gives me hope on a dark day. Thanks for your magic Weyes Blood and Adam Curtis
i love ao much this album.... this song is so powerful and beautiful 💙
: best track on the record, not even close to debatable - anyone else who's played Hyper Light Drifter, you know what's up
For me this is such a sad song, and yet also extremely peacfull and relaxing.
Takes a lot of talent and and a very sensitive soul to create such a song.
Thank you.❤
drop the letterboxd profile natalie
been workin on my first review of the film Babe its taking me forever
@@weyesblood good luck with that xx luv u
@@weyesblood This is my favourite childhood movie :') Amazing how well the special effects hold up today!
I can't wait to cry to this song live
Wow. Wow, wow, wow. Started watching this and didn't know what I was getting into while me and my girlfriend were getting ready to leave. Now we're sitting here, stunned and crying. What a gorgeous song, and really, this is one of the most beautiful, meaningful, stunning music videos ever made. Much of your music makes my girlfriend and I think about the pain and beauty and strangeness of being human, this strange animal, but this is just next level. I am a sucker for archival footage music videos (another good one is the unofficial music video for Alex G's Sarah by David Dean Burkhart), and the way this is put together without any words is just an undescribable piece of art. I was at a loss for words for a while after watching this, but now I feel like I have to type this out. Amazing work, Natalie and Adam Curtis
a como eu amo surtar por essa mulher
This brought me to tears. So beautiful. Life has always been filled with pain and beauty. Pressure to conform or be ostracized. It feels so escalated now. With the world online and every bad thing being shared at all hours of the day.. Everything is flying by and so much is happening, its overwhelming. The lyrics & composition of the song fit the end of this video so well. We want to be beautiful, we want to be enough, we want to be happy. But also the notion of being something simple like a flower instead of a human in this chaotic life... just has me tears. I'm terrible with words but thank you for this ❤
I listened to this song before my mother passed away, she had cancer and when I knew it my world fell down in so many ways, this song made me feel better, so strong to overcome everything!
When I listen to the outro I always feel her embrace.
Thank you for this BEAUTIFUL and PERFECT song. 🥹
Goddamn this means a lot. Thank you for this.
I lose my ability to cry after suffering great loss as a child, your music helps me feel out these emotions in other ways
this is beautiful
This is genuinely the most beautiful song since "Ladies & Gentlemen We Are Floating on Space" by Spiritualized.
Thank you Natalie for this work of art. I'm so glad I survived COVID and depression so that I could hear this beautiful gem that will stay rent-free in my heart 'til I fall asleep forever.
03:45 This sole shot is everything
Você, sua voz, criatividade, cada detalhe seu… me faz sentir coisas incríveis, você é arte viva, você é incrível. I love you WB🤍
adam curtis + weyes blood is incredible
An angel hovering over a dying planet?
we're surrounded by those methinks
most transcendental, expansive and ascending song ever. this song is my oyster
Can not wait !!! Snippets look amazing !! Most impactful record on this album! My sister walked down to this song in her wedding ❤❤❤
so moving & beautiful 😭🤍
I want this song to play at my funeral.
watching this live in barcelona was really something
Thank you Natalie for this 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️💫💫💫💫💫💫
This is my favourite song from "in the darkness, Heart aglow" so I'm really looking forward to this video!!!
Oh how I love being a cinephile in a Weyes Blood timeline
