I can't believe the dumb comments that I am reading. Why so much criticism towards the video? The video is a work of art. It's not a history lesson. It seems that the black nun has a dream to become a VJ. She is working hard in order to reach her goal. Lighten up people. Try to take something positive from such a beautiful music video. Devendra is a musical genius!
see my link above. Hildegard Von Bingen was an amazing woman that lived over 800 years ago and if it wasn't for this video by devendra banhart, I would never have known about her so...thanks to this song I dug deep and Googled her name and learned about the real St Hildgard. Quite Impressive to say the least
Привет из России! Я обожаю Девендру Банхарта. Мне не так нравится его музыка, как он сам. Конечно, я являюсь поклонницей его песен( знаю все наизусть), но душа у него и его сущность настолько полны и многогранны, что ими нельзя не восхищаться. Я прочитала множество комментариев, и положительных и отрицательных, но останусь при своем мнении. Я бесконечно признательна ему, и восхищаюсь этим человеком. В песнях Девендры есть он сам, его сущность, его душа. Он не пуст- он полон. Он красив и снаружи и внутри. Конечно, я вижу и отрицательные качества, но они как-то блекнут на фоне положительных качеств. Девендра Банхарт- индивидуальность, которую ни с чем не спутать. Когда смотришь его концерты, клипы, видео, то на лице сразу же появляется улыбка. Он легкий в характере, как и его песня. Он искренний и честный. Вот за это и стоит любить Девендру Банхарта.
What a genious song and vid! I like so much! This song gives a little bit of the rebellious life of St. Hildegard. She wrotes songs and poems and was very critical to popes, cesars and kings. This video shows a modern form of Hildegard. Thank you!
@@mrcosta6963 Yes, it's inspiring. The skin color does not matter, what is important is the meaning of the video. Do you know how revolutionary a woman abbess, poet, philosopher, composer, botanist was at that time? She is considered a woman of science in the eleventh century. At a time when women's interpretation of scripture and participation in society was prohibited, this woman communicated with the papacy and statesmen. PS: From today's point of view, Hildegard von Bingen's science is more like superstition.
@@veronicacaicedo2632 I know who Hildegard was. The creator of this video is the one who don´t, it seems. For the next video, a black Albert Einstein would be OK with you? What about making a video about Malcolm X with a white actor? Super OK?
say what you want about me but, devendra banhart has been the only man ive ever loved since I was 15...still till this day hes me and I am him in two different forms!!
Has anyone else noticed the near resemblance of this track with Warhaus - Leave With Me and/or Warhaus - Machinery, I can't decide if it's one or the other or both but they definitely have the same notes.
Yes, the vocal style for sure but this one flows better it's gotta sultry groove. The warhaus one is a bit annoying less fluid and the video is just moving encapsulated hipster photography. I hear it though
A song about a nun becoming a VJ definitely deserves a music video. This was a nice surprise. I still love music videos. I've been making mixes and watching them on my computer/TV, but RUclips ads are annoying. I was wondering, if there are there still any good music video programs?
She is a Catholic saint. She composed music, was an herbalist and wore many other hats. She was rather " radical" for her time being a nun and all.Her music is beautiful.
creo que es demaciado bohemio, en la cancion esta hablando de seguir un camino paralelo ,diagonal a lo que conocemos como recto... puede que sea carente de letra.... pero muy pegadiza, y creo que en el video esta ese 50% de significado que le falta a la letra, qseyo esta buena.
Pensé que iba a encontrar comentarios a portantes con respecto al vídeo pero me equivoque por la gran mayoría. GENTE! por favor utilicen la poca inteligencia que la naturaleza les a prestado para ir más allá del propio concepto y letra. Devendra es un ARTISTA de una complejidad permitida. Su trabajo no es para el común, entiendo al fin tanta baba que escriben.
Why Hildegard had her headaches. She was a thwarted artist--thwarted by the strictures imposed upon her sex during the time she lived. Her headaches and her visions were the result of her oppression. If her creativity had not been so confined and suppressed, who would she have been? What would she have done?
***** Yes, totally true (I'm the same, without structure there is but an abyss that consumes and one drowns). Perhaps then it is relative to a persons circumstances and needs. Structure, both good and 'bad' dependent on variables.
Big difference between strictures and structure, guys. Especially the way we're using them. Structure should come from within; at least the choice should be with the individual. It should not be imposed. Strictures are arbitrary limits placed on you by others. When she was alive, she could have been a wife or a nun. Those were her "choices." Ponder that. She was, in actuality, an artist and a visionary.
She didn't just have two choices. Obviously. She was an artist AND a visionary AND a healer AND a scientist AND a composer AND a playwright AND a teacher and authority figure AND a nun (and considered a saint and "doctor of the church"). And other things as well. She even invented a secret language. If you think she was any less a genuine nun than genuine artist then you probably haven't read what she actually wrote about herself and her church. For example Hildegard opposed the movement of the heretical cátari (Cathars) group who advocated a drastic reform of the Church in their intention to combat the shortcomings and failures of the clergy, many of whom were hypocrites. Hildegard sharply criticized them for trying to subvert the essence of the Church. She instructed them that the only genuine renewal could come from sincere repentance, obedience and conversion. In a sense, she herself claimed the opposite of what you wrote, of how important and necessary the outward structure was, and in her view it was not arbitrary at all. It's fine for you to disagree with her, but these were her own beliefs and opinions as she chose to express them.
And her creativity was not "confined and suppressed", it was encouraged and celebrated in her own lifetime. That's why she was able to accomplish so much. She criticized emperors, the pope and other authority figures and they still admired her and sought her advice, because they respected her.
Yeah, yeah, we get it. It's the XXI century, almost every aspect familiar to man has been suggested/ debated/ explained/ improvised/ put into a music video etc. Art is rarely original nowadays, people have always felt the need to invoke comparisons blahblah. And yeah, yeah, some creations are the result of inspiration blahblah.
Such a beautiful song. Brings me bliss.
The female voice at the beginning of the song says: '' i told you this would happen, that's the way she is'' , in Serbian language. o.o
+Djurdja Garcevic Devendra's girlfriend is Serbian (that's how his album "Mala" got its name)
pozdrav :)
hvala na info:D
Anytime ;)
Mala is also spanish for Bad girl or bad woman tho....
the end sounds like she said prositute but serbian is always different

@MAN WOLF Who cares about her skin color? Its all about the song

We can do a black guy making Confucius, and a white guy making Ghandi. Also an asian guy making Malcom X. Right?
Definitely one of the best songs and videos of 2013.
Just watched Hardcore Henry, had to find this tune.
Same here :)
Giancarlo Biundo same here 2
Giancarlo Biundo same here
Jesus baby, I was talking to them!
Ego? Higher self? Ego? Higher self?

This guy has ruined my life for years by being so awesome
This is so goddamn beautiful, I can't deal rn
Je pourrais écouter cette chanson encore et encore
I was so surprised to hear this in Hardcore Henry!

I could not agree more with you, my friend.
уес
En efecto, es cine.

We need a white guy making Malcom X, please.
Fake new. Pope Eugenio III had great consideration of Hildegard and her writings. The pope carried on corrispondence with her too.
original y hermosa como toda tu musica!
C'est magnifique
Wow! I love it ❤️
Yeah, I'm sure Hildegard von Bingen would have liked this. So inspiring.
She was not black. Next song, a black guy making Confucius?

Watching Hardcore Henry gave me motion sickness but the soundtrack was amazing.

Melhor música ♥
GENIAL
Goooooo Jodie!!!
I remember seen this vídeo on VH1 and blow My mind
es un genio, sin dudas a
OMG Love the video.
Love the song and have been listening to it for a long time. In cases like that, a new video seems distracting.
Who is the Hildegard of the video? She is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life
it's Jodie Smith!
She is a Catholic saint. She composed music, was an herbalist and wore many other hats. She was rather " radical" for her time being a nun and all.Her music is beautiful.
What other song does this sound like? Especially the guitar riffs...
all along the watchtower
Judy Clay & william bell - Private number and Lucio Battisti - Amarsi un po'
No se os parece esta cancion a la de Flaca de Calamaro??
1:47 Klaus Nomi scaresmeAf
Anyone know what the voices are saying in the beginning of the video??
It's French. "Elle est là. Elle est là, la voilà !"
Siempre eh tenido la duda de por que dice Elena la Güera con acento Mexicano 😂 cuando comienza la canción
creo que es demaciado bohemio, en la cancion esta hablando de seguir un camino paralelo ,diagonal a lo que conocemos como recto... puede que sea carente de letra.... pero muy pegadiza, y creo que en el video esta ese 50% de significado que le falta a la letra, qseyo esta buena.
What is Klaus Nomi doing here? :o
She's a VJ and he's being interviewed...His career was also very brief and he was German as was the Awesome saint Hildegard.
this is 🔥 🔥
HOW DOES THIS ONLY HAVE 818 VIEWS!?
Devendra chiquito mi amor :3
She's working on MVV = MTV.
Amé que se cortará el cabello... ahora puedo hundirme en sus ojos

Espero que el próximo sea un actor blanco haciendo de Malcom X. Lo esperamos ansiosos.

because it was like, literally, added just today, literally
40k in 2 days, yay Devendra.
music: all along the watchtower!
basically sister act in reverse

Menudo moñas
Oye a ti te conozco! Que risa leer comentario de alguien que conoces. Pero si, ameeeeeeeisin.
