My husband left me for a younger woman that looked just like me. His third affair became his second marriage.
He took her to all the places we've been to and took pictures with her where I had my pictures taken. My whole 9 year history with this man erased by selfish lustful desires. I didn't exist anymore. He replaced me, our memories, with a counterfeit.
And he called her the same things he had once ascribed to me.
The "queen of his castle" his soulmate, his angel, the love of his life. His principessa.
These were all my names.
And now they are hers.
I only think of him when I hear music like this. It brings everything back.
But it all belongs in the past.
Everything is the past.
If anyone is "shiny and new", it is you, Anoushka. You had to wash the dirt off and evolve out of your pain into a new woman.
I am now a new woman. Everything that was broken has mended but doesn't move and bend the same way. I move and bend in a different way. Like water. Water always makes a new path when the old path is sealed. The goal is to flow from one place and be in another place. Never be stuck in a place you don't belong.
Belong where you deserve to be.
glad that you moved on , you deserve to be happy
He sounds like someone you are far better off without - sounds like you are a whole new woman :)
Collecting heart to replace what he probably once had too
> My whole 9 year history with this man erased by selfish lustful desires
It doesn't have to be that way.
My wife also left me under similar conditions. I've many fond memories but I haven't erased them. I'm happy for her instead. Why would I stand in the way of her going after what she wants from her life? The only reason I can think is because I had my own selfish, lustful desires. I don't want to be selfish or lustful. Instead, I congratulate her on the courage she had to pursue what she wanted in her life. I love her very much, and I'd only ever want her to pursue what makes her happy, even if it comes at my expense. That is what true love is.
You deserve so much love and happiness. Go be your amazing self and reclaim the amazing person you are ❤️
You are a goddess. That little director does not deserve one tear from you. You are free... pure silence.
I was afraid to look at her pain filled eyes at the start of the video... It's so raw.. Kudos to Anoushka for being so brutally honest about it.
Pain is pain whether the rain comes and washes it away or not. Such a beauty our Anoushka and soon she will be dashed up up and away by someone who has been waiting. Blessings.
what happened is she getting divorced or something?
@@VKgunn Her husband cheated on her with a younger actress,...
I had no idea until I read this comment that this song was about her own experience... Some people can really be dickheads!
“Melancholy is the happiness of being sad.” ― Victor Hugo
Im sad that I find happiness in the melancholy of your music but thank you nonetheless.
Wowwww.... dope bro
Night makes the sunrise beautiful
Dr Who said that ‘Sad is a deep persons’ happy’ lol
The Sitar is a singer. I love this honesty throughout the voice of the co-singer because for me the Sitar says more than the singer and the way Anoushka plays the Sitar is killing. Usually in this kind of subject (betrayal or cheating in couples) there's a lot of screaming and big/heavy instruments sometimes you have a simple piano-voice but not often. I like the way she expresses the feelings . Pain can be expressed through a pure silence and pure feelings.
wat
All instruments are only there to support the human voice .
Do you know who her father is?
On repeat mode since yesterday. It's crazy how Anoushka can make you feel her pain and unearth some of yours too.
Waw... You have great emotional exposure.. 🙏🙏🙏
spot on
@Ayşegül sitar
I loved this comment so much that every time I listen to Anoushka, this comes to my mind.
@@rathibaral5550 :)
"But repetition lies ahead for you"
Anoushka wrote that out of complete anger towards Joe Wright. His wedding with Rosamud Pike was called off. Joe cheated on Anoushka, then had girlfriends, left them then got married an actress.
This song is extremely personal to Anoushka Shankar and she beautifully expressed her sadness through this song
The man sounds like her father. She’s a stunning woman so hope she finds a man who treats her like the goddess that she is if that’s what she wants. ❣️
What a asshole that guy must be
how do you know this?
@@borednow read about her marriage with Joe Wright and the affairs he had afterwards. Anoushka herself stated in an instagram post that this song is about a heartbreak and a loss, a recollection of memories
@@dunkim7527 i guess i missed that... thanks for explaining
Anoushka's facial expressions say it all....
💔💔💔💔
You can almost feel her pain expressed through the chords on the sitar. I only discovered this by accident, never really listened to Indian classical music before but I am captivated
@@katie9609 Its a song about a guy cheating on his wife with a younger woman. He used to call her Bright Eyes and shes wondering if he calls his new girlfriend bright eyes too.
Fyi, This song is actually a fusion of Indian classical + western lyrics. So not complete classical.
@@ajinkya4444 and that what it makes it an amazing song amirite? 😁 Also hello neighbor! 😄
@@ajinkya4444 The music also seems like fusion; doesn't Indian classical use a single tonal centre? This song has Western-style chord changes and use of chromatics.
@@keithklassen5320 sorry I am not familiar with Western classical that much. So not sure about the single toner centre.
I was afraid to look at her pain filled eyes at the start of the video... It's so raw.. Kudos to Anoushka for being so brutally honest about it.
So sad. Yes, he probably does call her bright eyes too...
Betrayal.
I’m sorry, but I know Anoushka has deep primal strength. Thanks for the great music. Masterful weeping music.
I have no idea how I’ve found this track but can’t stop listening! Gorgeous!
Because you are Russian. Half Indian brother..
@@RedLoveShow ?
I love when she sings: Do you call her bright eyes too, and then just starts to sound that beautiful melody. 💔
What a truly beautiful song!
Yes, both the music and the song. Unless you have a heart of stone, you can feel and understand her pain. Could happen to anyone with a heartless partner.

The sitar is such a mystical instrument moving me every time I listen ❤ beautiful .... This is the song of my day !!!
In Indian mythology Sitar or Veena (an instrument closely related to Sitar) is played by the goddess of learning Saraswati. And I think the Sitar deserves this place. It's divine.
I came to comments to find out what instrument she was playing cos it sounds magical in her hands
I'm in love with the sitar... Absolutely magnificent! Love from Turkey! I came here to find a little peace in these hard and mourning times as 2 7.7 magnitude earthquakes hit my country within 9 hours and wiped out 10 cities. Pray for us, brothers and sisters!
Got this recommended today,..
Oh shitt I just liked it and saved it as the music was gradually building and I heard the words "Does she feel younger than me?''
It instantly made me feel for someone I've always been in love with ,who inturn was in a long relationship with someone else and that Someone betrayed her many times and left her heartbroken after 9 yrs..
,..so Today I feel for her again.
I hope you get together somehow
Does she feel younger than me
As you’re lying in your bed
Does she feel younger than me
Or is that in my head
Does she feel younger than me
New and shiny
Does she feel younger than me
But most importantly
Do you call her bright eyes too,
Too, too, too
I know she’s younger than me
As i’m in our bed
I know she’s younger than me
Can’t get it out of my head
I know she’s younger than me
Less pain to carry
I know she’s younger than me
Darling tell me
Do you call her bright eyes too,
Too, too, too
Now are you haunted by me
That age old marital trip
What’s gotten old about me
Serpent in my bed
Now this that your pain you see
Replenished, strung ahead
I don’t know how to stay me
But repetition lies ahead for you
For you, for you, for you, for you So tell me,
Will you call her bright eyes too?
Thanks
Wtf
Thanks
Merci
Thank u
Congrats! It's nominated in the GRAMMYS for best global album.
Congratulations
Anoushka actually has bright eyes. First thing that catches your attention when you look at her.
She is making Whole universe cry...Goddess who was married to a shallow human. Beautiful Music.
The heart break is very real and touching and poignant ..sort of it depicts the agony suffered by almost all women who go through a similar situation
Best way to describe it.
I think you can appreciate music without getting personal. Why not try that?
Hypnotized 💎💎💎💎 it's like listening to a kaleidoscope
Great description 👍
what a lovely comment ! great minds
That's a nice way to put it☺
This woman have most beautiful eyes in the world! Fill them with joy, Anoushka !
When the soul bleeds and the heart cries that's when this music is born. You don't listen to this master piece, you feel it.
2:20 when the beat comes in....... HELP ME! I want to jump into the screen and wrap my arms around Anoushka.
🙌❤
❤️
Reina why only you !!!!!
💜💜
The lyrics are so personal yet something a lot of people can relate to. Anoushka Shankar yet again champions this concept of writing music which is painfully personal yet every listener can identify themselves in it.
The composition immerses the listener in her despair and agony.
My heart bleeds
Can't wait for the entire EP to come out
@Ayşegül sitar
I'm just obsessed with the sound of Sitar. It always soothes my brain somehow.
So proud to see you at 2021 Grammy nominations ❤❤
All the very best 😘😘
Saw her live last week. Apart from her fantastic music, she is the most beautiful and gorgeous woman I have seen in my life.
Everything said that
And I’m the true witness.
Amazing 😉
When I clicked this, I didn't expect to have my heart broken.... What a powerful song :(Thank you Anoushka Shankar, Alev Lenz and others. That was beautiful.
Dear God. This is amazing. So raw and captivating. This is truly one of the best original works that I have heard in such a long time. Thank you all for baring yourselves, so that I can bear myself too! (Not a typo)🙏
Congratulations, the album is nominated for grammy
I feel overcome by melancholy. Involuntarily tears welling up and then I allow myself to succumb to this profound sadness and pain. I've been gripped by this emotion for the past 2 days since I've discovered this song. The pain is so tangible. I feel haunted by the tunes and melody of the sitar.
RUclips just recommended me this, and Im in love with this lady playing the sitar, her lirycs, the voice and that soft percusion (which I dont know the name) This is music.
Greetings from Guatemala.
Creo que el instrumento se llama Ghatam. La canción está hermosa. Ella es un genio igual que su papá. Saludos desde Guatemala.
The percussion instrument is the south Indian Ghatam. It's made of clay.
Dear RUclips,
I'm soundly mad at u for not recommending this sooner.
wtf bro, less than 2 months and you have this vid in your library, enjoy it ♥
average of 1 dislike for every 85 likes though. that's not bad at all.
@@fernandohoyosferreyra5555 I AM enjoying it ♪☆＼(^０^＼) ♪(／^-^)／☆
Same. They're slipping.
@Ayşegül I believe it's a Sitar 😁
So peaceful yet so destructive at the same time .
Just to the people who are new to Indian classical, it's not complete classical it's a fusion of Indian classical + western.
I am so glad due to these powerful lyrics and Sitar playing by Anoushka people from all over the world getting to know about Indian culture. There are loads of instruments, music and ragas in Indian classical, they are all great and will take you to different world at the same time. 🙂
This is heartbreaking, but heartbreakingly beautiful. Painful to hear, but beautiful to listen to. The beauty and spirituality you bring to the world is endless, Anoushka. Your pain is unbearable to hear.
But thank you for your music ❤️☯️🙏❤️☯️🙏
this is a new form of the blues as in Western music; and the fact that it has come from a woman musician in India is just an amazing moment. The musical life of the planet is moving in a way that reflects the fact we are now so very connected to every part of the globe. Also this is so incredibly moving and powerful-just like the early blues singers in the US. Anoushka has revealed an new level of her art.
We(Indians) have very rich ancient history of classical music, it's a shame today's bollywood/generation doesn't care about that actually. If u want I can suggest some great music which is way different than this but will take you to another universe. seems like from out of the world.
@@ajinkya4444 please, I would enjoy that music very much. Any suggestion?
Women sitar players n singers are abundant in India
I have not been moved my music such as this, in a very very long time! I got goosebumps when the Indian percussion came on. This is how music should be! Bravo Anoushka!
Anyone else listening to this on repeat?
I love this blending of Indian / ballad type music. It’s hypnotic!
Oh god ♥️🔥 Anoushka shankar she’s so talented 😭♥️🔥 Her expressions are deeper than the song
She just expressed her pain. It reached the hearts behind screen! This is a very deep rendition. More power to you Anoushka
MY GOD, HOW BEAUTIFULLY DONE IN SUCH A POIGNANT WAY!
Never thought it would be so gripping. This should get popular.
😥 i cried after listening this, Don't know why... God bless you and your dad too, I've also cried listening him last time he was in Bangladesh at classical fest, my life time experience. Wish you would come to Bangladesh soon. 💙💙 ✌
This is such a beautiful song, I don't know how many times I've listened to it in the last 24 hrs, can't keep the melody out of my head.
I have to say "Serpent in my bed" is my absolute! favorite line, but I also really love the "I know she’s younger than me - less pain to carry" part and "now are you haunted by me" is so harrowing in a good way, with "but repetition lies ahead for you" being one of the most powerful scary fortunes I've ever heard.
Ohh..Anoushka and her sitar are so beautiful even being in pain..and i deeply feel all the emotions that she express through this music..
This is the music i have never heard before but always wanted to . I found my peace in it .
dear Anoushka, I can sense deep pain in this expression. Phenomenal artists like you find solace in music as this gift enables you to reach out to the divine in you. In deep acceptance, the expectations drop and life flows like a perennial river and the romance of it emerges. you truly deserve all the bliss. let your music be the purest bhava of freedom, love, compassion, Our world can do better with glorious musical expressions that emerges from you. I had watched your first performance with Ustad Zakir Hussain Ji. In those gleaming eyes, We all got to see hope, talent, gratitude, compassion, pure beauty. please inspire yourself and come back to your peak glory of expression.
Maha Yogi Pradeep Ullal Blah blah blah
You do understand this is music video, not a performance?
So glad to see the percussionist playing hid Udu drum properly. I love putting a mic right up to the sound hole and getting all the bass!
All the previous comments have said it all, I will just add that you brought tears in my eyes after a long long time
Just can’t stop listening this extraordinary composition
Music comes from broken heart. And here is it with all grace and sadness.. Crushing my soul.
No flamboyant graphics, rich destinations or million dollar video. Just soul-soothing instruments, piercing lyrics and sheer talent! ♥️
This is incredible, the perfect blend between western theory and tonality that i've grown up with and gotten used to and the microtonal eastern ragas and expressions i've only recently fallen in love played at once. Incredible.
This is was a great, random recommendation.
Right?! :)
This song made me cry, I could feel her pain
FUN FACT: The singer is an instrument and the sitar is the lead singer
EDIT: You sneaky bastards won't stop liking this comment in the middle of the night won't you?
Wow wow wow
Well, fun, but no.
“Have faith enough and you will be free in a minute.”
Wow i didn't see that .... Thanks man
Middle of the night for you, but not necessarly for others :p :p :p :'D
Finest composition
I have heard
for a long time
sad in a healing way
tears of happiness
and sadnesss
are running
The harmony
between
angel - voice
and
crying sitar
is
unique
Anoushka aparte de ser hermosa y bella tu musica tambien lo es!!!!!! disfruto tu musica con mucho corazon. me encanto esta cancion!!! desde mendoza argentina (muy lejos) te escribo mi nombre es Juan Leal. Disfruto tu musica se que sera dificil ver un show algun dia en vivo pero te mando bendiciones con todo mi corazon
This is not just a Musical Track, it’s peace, it’s love, it’s a feeling.
Healer
This feels ageless, I can't decide if it sounds modern or classical and I love that about it
This is a soulful journey to the heart of a painful experience and back again. I love it all - but am enthralled with the upright bass and the sitar.
I am just listening to this song now and wow, it resonates so well! how are you👋!?
Composer are tooooooooooo intelligent,, I can't control my pulse rythem,, I want more like this,,, I'm falllllll
Love from Bangladesh 💚💚💚
I'm a big fan ❤️
Bhai bari koi
This song gives me chills. Hauntingly beautiful.
The pain in this song moves through me so strong I feel like I went through it, just Amazing .
And u explain it pretty
Awesomely
Soothing way .
I saw you play with Ravi at salisbury cathedral about 15 yrs ago or so...never forgot it. was by far the most upliftng ,spiritual music experience of my life. the glow and aura from you all was intoxicating and so inspiring. you managed to give us all a glimpse of heaven that evening.
Wow. So beautiful experience.
Maam,
Finally we see an upload by you and we are blessed to be part of an era to which you belong .
Please do not leave us deprived of such magical sitar playing .
We all are your die hard fans and respect you the way we respect Shankarjee !
best said, my brother
Shubham Kainthola u r hot is thats ur dp 🙈🙈
Absodamnlutely!
It's Surreal Serene and it's Sitar.
THIS IS SO PURE AND SOULFUL I'M NOT GETTING OVER IT.
Her father Ravi as well as Anoushka are amazing musicians.
First time I felt so physically moved by a song, indescribable
That hauntingly beautiful voice of Alev Lenz :3 That's what gave that feeling of complete despair to the final scene of Hated In The Nation, I guess it's the most intense scene I've seen in any TV series
I can feel your pain .Thank you for being that brave .I will pray for you to heal your heart .And love again .
This is one of the most heartbreaking songs I've ever heard...💔
Anoushka ! now I understand why your serene and wistful smile bring tears in my eyes
Music expresses the inexpressible like Huxley said. Much more than words can express.
This is not a song, it’s a spiritual experience …
I literally got emotional goosebumps, and a lump in my throat. It is a beautifully written song. 🖤
See what power women possess? This music reaches right into your DNA and twists the double helix of your soul.
god, beautifully said!!
Sure....go ahead and make everything about identity and race and gender. Did you notice that there is a guy playing the percussion too? Or did it feel cooler to ignore that little fact? This is an incredible song by an incredibly talented group of people. Every note is immaculate and well thought out....but gender has nothing to do with it. Get out of your bullshit identity-centric frame of mind and start looking at and appreciating the world for what it is.
@@mindseye4914 Awww, does somebody need a hug?
In case y’all don’t know, only through pain and sadness do we get some of the most wonderful pieces of art. You can be the most amazing at anything but you can’t control other people’s behavior.
I came here after knowing that she's nominated for Grammys ..well I'm BTS fan and I'm happy for both of them ♡
Yaaayyyy!!!
Same gurlll!! She is the one who will represent India at global level!!👌👌
*Such a beautiful song! And Anoushka made it more gorgeous with her sitar and other Indian instruments.*
*Really, 🇮🇳 INDIA SOUNDS, SMELLS, TASTES incredibly 'Amazing'*
I swear you looked like your father with all this new hair and stuff! The music is just woahhhhh!!
Mamma Mia ! First of all so glad to see you play again for us. And the way you always play your heart out so blissfully on your most beautiful sounding Sitar EVER is out of this world. Then you manage to collaborate with so many special artists too. What else ? Ha ha , keep on shining for us dear Anoushka. Chapeau, once again.
whenever i hear the sound of Sitar, my mind get in peace.
Anoushka , sofria de insonia ate nao conhecer o seu maravilhoso trabalho , hoje consigo dormir profundamente sem nenhum tipo de medicacao , apenas te ouvindo , enviada dos deuses na terra !!!!!!....
It's toxic when ur sad and listening to it on loop, cuz it has intensity to ruthlessly crush ur heart into pieces💔...btw listening to it on loop😍
Kisika dil tuta h 🙄
And somehow this music give us a gateway of being related. It's weird though it makes us less sad and somewhat enlightened.
The hell with those dislikes? This is just great.
Accidental dislikes. 🤭
Well its about 1000x more likes then dislikes imagine a village of 2000 people two people who arent not capable of recognising the beauty of this peace of art. I would love to life in this village :)
@@Eflodur you hilarious love from the whole NL 🇳🇱
@@essejt hey thanks, much love from Vienna!
Found a musical goldvein on yt. I share this nugget with u maybe unlike: ruclips.net/video/pDOGSh9kgyA/видео.html
Anoushka playing wonderful. The musicians are great. The lyrics are cliché, banal. I have a friend, a woman who is a big fan of Anoushka she just told she turned off this song. In my opinion the singing does not harmonize with the music but it is a question of taste. I would not dislike but I can't listen it to the end either.
This is an absolute masterpiece!! So much beauty in agony
The sitar and the cello oh my gawd, the two most powerful instruments !
Countless times the Double Bass is called a Cello.
2:20 to 3:00 hits me like anything! Absolutely legendary! ❤️
Enthralled...It hypnotizes all pieces of my mind...
Does she feel younger than me?
As you're lying in your bed
Does she feel younger than me?
Or is that in my head?

Do you call her bright eyes too?

That age-old marital…
i keep coming back to this, and "wallet". they are truly masterpieces. the paired down simplicity and yet how complex it actually is to interweave what they each are doing. and the power of anoushka infuses the whole thing. she is a goddess letting the emotions flow through her and out to us if we choose to experience them. her sitar playing is so moving.
Funnily enough, I heard this song the day it went live. I skipped it after a few moments.
Things happened and I ended up here again. The striking difference between how I perceived this then and how I perceive this now is amazing. Those little experiences have made each note on the sitar more relatable and the lyrics more pinching than ever.
Raag Kirwani.....beautifully composed Anoushka. Lots of love. 😇
Здравствуйте, Люди Добрые! Сердечно благодарю за Свет Очей! Всем Мира!!!
Didn’t understand but liked
This is not a weeping sing or a melody of pain. Will a goddess weep or feel sad if a mere, petty man "leaves" her? No one can leave her. This is purest form of art, bigger than anything, specially something as volatile or meaningless as human emotions. Shine on, my goddess!
Magnificent.... Bravo... Amazing god knows what all can I say about Anoushka.... She herself is a masterpiece in this world. I see Saraswati in her
