I helped edit this video at my house with Sophie / sol seppy and her boyfriend /co producer. I was not an editor at the time but was experimenting with digital video. I am a recording engineer / musician. I think we got the vibe to match the tune which still holds up today 15 years later, time does fly. Just started listening to her new album, great stuff.
When I was a kid, music always made me see little movies and pictures in my mind, but that mostly went away when I grew up... this brought it back to me ❤️
The music is heavily compressed. It is still really stuff to use the natural fuzz she has also. Now I try so hard to cut the natural fuzz but am learning how to use it instead of hiding it.
In case there was any doubt in anyone's mind: yes, this is the best song you've ever heard, no, the meaning of it cannot be paralled, and no, you cannot undo the fact that you've just subjected yourself to the most beautiful + honest work of art you may ever know.
lyrics To be someone To be someone I wish I could say the same of myself That I'm in perfect harmony That I do not use the sword of my tongue To lash out at the enemy That I do not fear the light That I do not stray from love as my guide That I'm at peace inside And all the pieces are fine They dance and sing in unity A dum dum dum dee daa da dee Oh I wish I could fly Through the sky And the moon above me Oh I wish I could talk To the gods and the birds above me It's not fun to be so blind To be so blind I wish I could stay in the present day Not lapsing into vicious sleep 'Cause it gives my bones a brand shiny new home One that does not confine me And I do not fear the light And I do not stray from love as my guide And I'm at peace inside And all the pieces are fine They dance and sing in unity A dum dum dum dee daa da dee Oh I wish I could fly Through the sky And the moon above me Oh I wish I could talk To the gods and the birds above me It's not fun to be so blind To be so blind Slo fuzz in the morning Where I can tempt you To be my air But it's not enough to be lovely When I feel other things I can not share That I can't Oh I wish I could fly Through the sky And the moon above me Oh I wish I could talk To the gods and the birds above me It's not fun to be so blind To be so blind
one of the coolest indie rock gems i've heard in a while! I've been doing nothing but making records since 1986 and i don't throw around compliments lightly. If you ever get to LA i would love to meet you guys! Anthony J. Resta aka "ajax"
AN absurd claim but apart from Lisa Gerrard (solo material and Dead Can dance eg " vespers" , "of love undone", " the promised womb" , "the arrival and the reunion" etc) and the very best of Mozart (requiem) and Beethoven (9th S) you are almost correct. One thing is true Sophie is one of the greatest talents of any era irrespective of records sold.
Today’s November 6th, in Westbrook, Maine, USA 11 : 28 pm Today was absolutely amazing from start to finish. I stumbled upon this song on my way to work, listening to Weekly Discovery on Spotify. It instantly became one of my favorites-I’ve been playing it nonstop because it takes me on a trip back to the past…
I must have listened to this twenty times today. When the base kicks in at the beginning it just puts me in a good state of mind. Lyrics are good stuff too. "It's not fun...to be..so blind."
one of my favourite albums of all time, and this song in particular, one of my desert island tunes. Such a shame there's been no new music from Sophie, but this album, the music, the singing, the depth of the lyrics, will stand the test of time regardless. A classic.,
I review music. I had a webzine back then. I used to speak to Sophie on Myspace. She was warm, intelligent and fun. Hard to believe I had such quality music fall into my hands. So thankful. THIS got a glowing review, obvs.
this is the only sol seppy tune i'm really in to - there's an honesty to it that, coupled with the fuzz of confusion, really strikes me as a portrait of a soul it's beautiful
First seen it on arte's show "Tracks". Couldn't find the album for ages. So glad to have it now ;) Somehow, it totally changed my perception of "music"... Great.
I don't expect to get a reply 13 years later... but I'm curious what song this was replying about (and why whatever comment it was replying to is gone and this is now the oldest comment here...). Not Slo Fuzz of course since the video is here. Maybe Enter One?
Holy shit. You ever come across a song or artist that you like so much you're actually ANGRY that you didn't know about it earlier? I'm fucking PISSED right now. This reminds me a bit of Liz Phair with a dash of glam rock and some extra fuzzy amping. 2007? Fuuuuuck.
SatansSpatula It is very sad that on this niche site we seem to have attracted some one whose level of English is only matched by their emotional maturity.By the way I used to like Liz Phair and bought her first couple of albums. I would imagine that just like Sol Seppy you were well "behind the curve"
Me Ear Yes I did but I have no time for people who resort to Puerile language to insult people. Anyway I am glad you liked what is for sure a great album with some wonderful/brilliant music that will stand the test of time . Spread the word ( I do) about Sol Seppy (Sophie M) ! Music of this quality should be far better known.

Discovered this song today. Really appreciate you taking the time to post your details. The vid and song itself are timeless -- well done!
Legend
Just heard to this song on spotify today, really great job!
You guys are the greatest🥰🥰🥰
I like it alot. I've listened several times. It's just one of those songs for me.
When I was a kid, music always made me see little movies and pictures in my mind, but that mostly went away when I grew up... this brought it back to me ❤️
can't believe this actually dates back to 2007. it sounds 5 years ahead of our time! thanks for sharing
I agree !
I can’t believe how much this sounds like a slowed down indie vers. of Pure Shores by All Saints, from the Beach soundtrack, 2000
My first time hearing this song, I see your comment. And it's 5 years later 🤯
@@RissaFiction hasn't aged at all. still 5 years ahead. ciao! :)
I get a real 'Porpoise Song' (1968) vibe.
Once again I will testify. She has perfected the soundtrack of the best dreams we try so hard to remember
The music is heavily compressed. It is still really stuff to use the natural fuzz she has also. Now I try so hard to cut the natural fuzz but am learning how to use it instead of hiding it.
This song has such an awesome vibe! Found it late but so glad I did.
Blown away by this. Mesmerising.
This to me are the real artists, real and genuine. Very moving music.
In case there was any doubt in anyone's mind: yes, this is the best song you've ever heard, no, the meaning of it cannot be paralled, and no, you cannot undo the fact that you've just subjected yourself to the most beautiful + honest work of art you may ever know.
lyrics
To be someone
To be someone
I wish I could say the same of myself
That I'm in perfect harmony
That I do not use the sword of my tongue
To lash out at the enemy
That I do not fear the light
That I do not stray from love as my guide
That I'm at peace inside
And all the pieces are fine
They dance and sing in unity
A dum dum dum dee daa da dee
Oh I wish I could fly
Through the sky
And the moon above me
Oh I wish I could talk
To the gods and the birds above me
It's not fun to be so blind
To be so blind
I wish I could stay in the present day
Not lapsing into vicious sleep
'Cause it gives my bones a brand shiny new home
One that does not confine me
And I do not fear the light
And I do not stray from love as my guide
And I'm at peace inside
And all the pieces are fine
They dance and sing in unity
A dum dum dum dee daa da dee
Oh I wish I could fly
Through the sky
And the moon above me
Oh I wish I could talk
To the gods and the birds above me
It's not fun to be so blind
To be so blind
Slo fuzz in the morning
Where I can tempt you
To be my air
But it's not enough to be lovely
When I feel other things
I can not share
That I can't
Oh I wish I could fly
Through the sky
And the moon above me
Oh I wish I could talk
To the gods and the birds above me
It's not fun to be so blind
To be so blind
Tysm!
why she doesn't sing the last parraf?
Why are these lyrics so like the exact thoughts I've had.
I've always thought it said Subpar for the longest time.
This song is insane. so beautiful. Sophie thank you. I can break from my programming and feel my soul.
I never heard of sol seppy until i heard enter one in a movie, now im listening to all of her songs, they're fantastic, welldone seppy
Morpheus 98 Standoff?
the rover with pattinson e pierce
That's how I found her music...from a movie.
Herbie
Heard her first in final space
Sophie.Beautiful person,beautiful music.I love music of Sol Seppy since last year´s fantastic album.Great talent.
2022 and still listening to this masterpiece
Was listening to Soapy Water by Wolf Alice and it reminded me of this gem so had to come back for a re-listen. Just my 40th or so🥰🤩😍
Thanks to you, I discovered another great group. Thank you!!! Wolf Alice - in love :)
Congrats. Your music taste is good. Love wolf Alice too ❤
one of the coolest indie rock gems i've heard in a while! I've been doing nothing but making records since 1986 and i don't throw around compliments lightly. If you ever get to LA i would love to meet you guys! Anthony J. Resta aka "ajax"
Letting go of all resentments. Listening to this beautiful song. watching the sun come up over the Sierra Nevadas.
Ooh, so happy I found this. Beautiful, incredible sound.
HEY TWO YEARS LATER LOL YOU ARE SO RIGHT
OMG words can't really explain the way I feel about this song, love it, beautiful as she is too.
Fashions always fade but quality remains forever... This is pure quality & class!
Discovered this song today and wow... how did I missed it! Better late than never huh. Awesome!
*JAYZUS*... Brilliant in every way. I wish I'd found this a decade ago.
Can't say exaclty why, but this is my favorite these days. Really well done.
Please come back! This is the most beautiful music ever made.
AN absurd claim but apart from Lisa Gerrard (solo material and Dead Can dance eg " vespers" , "of love undone", " the promised womb" , "the arrival and the reunion" etc) and the very best of Mozart (requiem) and Beethoven (9th S) you are almost correct.
One thing is true Sophie is one of the greatest talents of any era irrespective of records sold.
Keith Bate Not absurd at all.
Mick Mo Did you not read what I said ?
***** Thanks for your kind words "is there no beginning to your level of insults " (LMFAO)
kind of a NIN meets Air meets Zero 7... LOVE IT!
Today’s November 6th, in Westbrook, Maine, USA
11 : 28 pm
Today was absolutely amazing from start to finish. I stumbled upon this song on my way to work, listening to Weekly Discovery on Spotify. It instantly became one of my favorites-I’ve been playing it nonstop because it takes me on a trip back to the past…
Great track from a brilliant début album. So much talent. Hopefully Sophie will get the success she deserves in the near future.
I must have listened to this twenty times today. When the base kicks in at the beginning it just puts me in a good state of mind. Lyrics are good stuff too. "It's not fun...to be..so blind."
she has a butiful voice and spirit i love that about her
In the mood for listening to Spaklehorse & Sol Seppy. Seriously though, vocals are out of this world!
This upload leaves out the best part -- the bridge! Great song.
2024 and I listen this song for the first time!! she was so ahead of her times
I can never stop loving this.
I remember listening this like about 6-8 years ago.
Feels good to find this song again. 🥺🤍
Damn I found this yesterday and I can't stop listening to this
Just discovered this song today?!?!? Absolutely perfect.
Stunning.............
That distorted bass is my happy place
I just want to say ... I love this song... Hello from Indonesia
one of my favourite albums of all time, and this song in particular, one of my desert island tunes. Such a shame there's been no new music from Sophie, but this album, the music, the singing, the depth of the lyrics, will stand the test of time regardless. A classic.,
she got a new album
2018 still listen 🌹
2020
One of my favorite songs.
So many views and so little comments, does that mean that ppl are speechless to hear this song because it is so good?
i'd love to see this live,,i love this kinda mellow stuff and im a big fan of my experimental stuff but have a big likin for this stuff too
Nice, like the slight difference in composition to the album version, fantastic track!
Amazing song and video…they don’t make them like they used to…would love to hear more from her and catch her in concert…talented chica…
Listen to her two albums. You'll love it
I remember when this song came out. Its still just as good!
mega geil der beat und die sängerin is auch süß
The song is awesome. The lyrics are brilliant. The girl is gorgeous. What more to ask for?
one of the best albums, if not THE best released in the last 20 years
Listening to this hidden gem in 2021
The song is just awesome!
this is pure amazingness
She's simply beautiful; so is her music."
Got to be able to appreciate the bad, to love the good... peace n love
I love this. It was difficult to know where this piece would lean towards. Haunting and surprising come easily to mind.
This girl has got the most beautiful and engaging smile. I could live inside this song.
I review music. I had a webzine back then. I used to speak to Sophie on Myspace. She was warm, intelligent and fun. Hard to believe I had such quality music fall into my hands. So thankful. THIS got a glowing review, obvs.
Just discovered this gem today, fanstastic.
my fav song!!!!
Sophie i love you, your music is so brilliant
Magnificent, all kinds of it.

it's beautiful
Love this song!
Seriously brilliant music
2007? It sounds now. Lovely stuff 😉
Wow, this actually sounds like a Beatles song from their White Album. Love it!
Total CELTIC ROCK , FANTASTIC !!!
It's official, my faith is restored modern music, I thought all the real artists where before my time but I'm glad to be wrong
First seen it on arte's show "Tracks". Couldn't find the album for ages. So glad to have it now ;) Somehow, it totally changed my perception of "music"...

Great song, great lyrics. This album reminds me of early Smashing Pumpkins somehow.
God she is sooooooooo lovely!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful
Amo essa música
Eternal Love. For me, at least.
We wish we could make your day It is such a beautiful song but we have no video of that song :-(
I don't expect to get a reply 13 years later... but I'm curious what song this was replying about (and why whatever comment it was replying to is gone and this is now the oldest comment here...). Not Slo Fuzz of course since the video is here. Maybe Enter One?
Música maravilhosa 🇧🇷
Loving this
Her voice is mad it's like she has 2 voices at the same time if that's possible lol
Holy shit. You ever come across a song or artist that you like so much you're actually ANGRY that you didn't know about it earlier? I'm fucking PISSED right now. This reminds me a bit of Liz Phair with a dash of glam rock and some extra fuzzy amping. 2007? Fuuuuuck.
Liz Phair are you serious ?
Sophie is making some of the best music of any era. Liz Is merely one of a number of "fairly good" female artists'
SatansSpatula It is very sad that on this niche site we seem to have attracted some one whose level of English is only matched by their emotional maturity.By the way I used to like Liz Phair and bought her first couple of albums. I would imagine that just like Sol Seppy you were well "behind the curve"
***** Wonderful kind words.
is there no beginning to your level of insults" (LMFAO)
Me Ear Yes I did but I have no time for people who resort to Puerile language to insult people.
Anyway I am glad you liked what is for sure a great album with some wonderful/brilliant music that will stand the test of time .
Spread the word ( I do) about Sol Seppy (Sophie M) ! Music of this quality should be far better known.
Me Ear Yes very sad/tragic re ML but at least he "made his mark" on this world.
