Oh man this is so surreal. Used to listen to them when I was 15-16 at the peak of my anxiety. I’m now 23 and this has just brought back so many emotions
@Sonder Same here, used to listen them when I was 15 or something after coming back from school and being alone at home. I'm now 23 and the lyrics still feel as real as back then.
Daughter performed this song at The Wiltern a few days ago, and Elena had to leave the stage after the second chorus because she began to cry. It was the most heart-wrenching, yet most beautiful thing to see from an artist. But that's what I love about this band. They don't just play their songs, they put their heart and soul in them.
Daughter, Bon Iver, Rhye, Soley, Little Dragon, Michelle Featherstone, Regina Spektor, Leonna Naess, Rosie Golan & Ray LaMontagne are some of the worlds greatest music makers & they all are incredibly underrated. I thank God for artist like these. Music wouldn't be the same without emotion.
Omg, last sentence is too heavy. Every time when i hear it, it breaks me down. "I sometimes wish I’d stayed inside my mother, never to come out." No words, like host from KEXP. Stunning.
Maria Degeratu it's ok to feel that way, not all of life is a gift. Some people are dealt horrible hands at life. I'm one who shares your sentiment though, life is miraculous but for a lot who don't make it, it's a lot of suffering with no way out.
Hell, there are so many comments about love relationships, but when I heard this song for the first time, it was like all the regret about hurting other people came back to me, smothering like I was smothering those who was trying to love me. And the line 'I should go now quietly' for me always was about suicide, this desire to stop existing but without hurting anyone (which is impossible, I realised it afterwards). But I'm going through comment section and whoa, people have seen something really different in the same song. Almost miracle
i really love the long pause she did before the "never to come out", as if she was thinking about it, or pondering what to say... such a beautiful performance... love elena
I'm wasted, losing time I'm a foolish, fragile spine I want all that is not mine I want him but we're not right In the darkness I will meet my creators And they will all agree, that I'm a suffocator I should go now quietly For my bones have found a place to lie down and sleep Where all my layers can become reeds All my limbs can become trees All my children can become me What a mess I leave To follow To follow To follow To follow In the darkness I will meet my creators They will all agree, that I'm a suffocator Suffocator Suffocator Oh no I'm sorry if I smothered you I'm sorry if I smothered you I sometimes wish I'd stayed inside my mother Never to come out
@@nihilisticemoidiot5813 Oh yeah I heard... too bad but maybe at least Elena will perform with her group in future. I live in Germany so I hope she comes here someday after this pandemic nightmare. I could go to France too theretically I guess. We shall see further on.
They didn’t split up. They just haven’t released anything recently. They did a lot of work for the video game life is strange, and Elena went and did her own thing with her own band Ex:Re but daughter is still together.
Smother by Daughter I'm wasted, losing time. I'm a foolish fragile spine. I want all that is not mine. I want him but we're not right. In the darkness I will meet my creators, And they will all agree, that I'm a suffocator. I should go now quietly, For my bones have found a place, To lie down and sleep. Where all my layers will become reeds, All my limbs will become trees, All my children will become me. What a mess I'll leave, To follow. In the darkness I will meet my creators. They will all agree, I'm a suffocator. Suffocator. Oh no, I'm sorry if I smothered you. I sometimes wish I stayed inside, My mother, Never to come out.
I was emotionally unstable but I was holding myself, when I read this comment I couldn't hold myself no more and started crying as a baby... because I thought the same thing when listening to this song...
I just broke up with an amazing man. We had our problems. I needed more affection, he needed space. I loved him completely. I wanted it all as the artist said and he says I ended up smothering him trying to ale things work. Now, I have to rebuild, become a better person, and learn from this relationship so I don't make the same mistakes in the future. So, I am going to try to 'go quietly' with respect and compassion for that person and myself. I might have fucked up, but I tried to be good to him.
I can totally relate. Its hard. And I can't think of anything to say which can make it better, other than to feel like your world is crumbling down is okay.
Darkness is beauty, her darkness is just beautiful! Their lyrics always sweeps me deeply. "Oh love, I'm sorry if I smothered you. I sometimes wish I'd stayed inside my mother, never to come out."
The people who relate with the last line, like me. I feel you all. The pain and weight we carry in our hearts. All I can wish is love and peace for us all. Stay strong beautiful broken souls. This pain will be justified one day.
"I Sometimes wish i'd stayed inside my mother, never to come out..." such genius lyricists honestly, i feel so out of this world whenever i listen to them
This band creates some of the most beautiful lyrics I've ever come across. And this song specifically is so well written and beautiful. Definitely one of my favorite bands. They deserve so much more credit than they're given.
this song is a reflection of everybody's soul. we have all made mistakes and we all carry our guilt with us. we all have sides we are scared of. that is why this is my most favorite song on that album. it is sad and true, and equally beautiful.
This song and its captivatingly haunting lyrics have grasped onto me from the moment I listened first. I have never felt so connected to lyrics before. These haunt me.
@@user-gw5uz4ed4s I'm really late but I'm happy I found someone who likes Keaton Henson as well, especially You and Prayer are so unique... Very strange feeling, the way he combines grief and nostalgia
This song is incredible, the lyrics are haunting. Her emotions are perfectly portrayed through the words, the music, and that voice, oh my word! It's like you can actually feel it right along with her. Literally brought me to tears.
I asked my ex (of a failing long distance relationship) what her favorite song was at the time, and she told me it was this. Once I listened to it I completely understood where our relationship was at. It kills me to listen to this, but I feel connected to her somehow. I don’t listen to it often, but my heart breaks every time. Thank you. for this song.
this song makes me forget for a moment all trouble, i can feel my bed turning into a bed of leaves that pull me into the ground as i become one with time itself, everything in perspective, everything clearer than never
Such beauty and such melancholy. This song touches something raw in me like very few songs do. If I ever met Elena Tonra, I'd just give her a massive hug and tell her how thankful I was that she was indeed born!
Gorgeous song... All I say is I hope my baby girls never have to feel these kinds of thoughts. She's got a haunting voice, like Bat For Lashes. Love it!
This is so beautiful my mind completely switched off. I've listened to this numerous times not only because of the sheer beauty, but because of the fact my mind was numbed so much that I didn't hear a thing...
Your voice is so great, it would be shame not to have you here, I can feel your soul in lyrics of this song. One of the best performances I have ever seen so far, I am looking forward to see you live. Keep up good music.
I have listened to this many times because I feel so connected to this song...like it is the story of my life. Watching her sing it was so powerful! I could clearly see that she felt every sound and every word from her heart. These aren't just notes and lyrics, it is her soul crying out.
It's one thing to sing perfectly in a key, but it's a different thing to have the musical intelligence to give words a soul, if you know what I mean. Her singing is so soulful. So humble and down to earth artist.
Never have I ever related to a song so much in my life. I've been listening since this song came out and it still gives me the same sinking feeling in my chest to this day.
I don't know why I'm only seeing this now, but just the first 10 seconds made me relive a bad breakup that I had a few years ago. Crazy how songs can make your mind blossom with old memories

Best compliment any singer/songwriter could get.
I agree.
I love that he felt like this and managed to say it. Pretty much how I feel every single time I listen to this song.
This version, specifically.

The more-than-perfect proof that music is not a question of virtuosity but of emotions
My life is near ending and I would love to listen to this before I die.
imagine the 3 of them in a small room making this song and realizing how beautiful it is that they have between each other
This is the purest form of art
"All my layers can become reeds
All my limbs can become trees
All my children can become me."
