    Never heard of her before this interview, and paused the video several times to explore her music. I have never fallen in love so quickly and deeply with another human. I believe you, Amanda! Totally crying! Omg Judy Effing Blume?! Yes, this album is medicinal! 💐🌈💖THANK YOU!!!

      Yes! She's absolutely one of my favourite artists these days. Her honesty, realness and vulnerability is extraordinary. Go see her live if you ever get the chance! And I absolutely recommend her book 'The Art of Asking' :-)

      The only performance I ever saw of hers was a Dresden Dolls show. I never thought so much sound and complexity could come from just two people - her and an absolutely incredible drummer.

    There will be no intermission is by far the most emotionally real record I've heard ever. I cry when I hear it. I feel when I hear it. She is at her peak with this one. Authentic and relatable for me. And I'm so thankful for her making it and having the balls to share it with the world.

    In an age where everything is so photoshopped, bearing our scars to one another does more than we can ever say. Seeing somebody that we esteem so highly in a vulnerable light gives us encouragement to love our own vulnerabilities.
    It's one of the best gifts

    I love Tim Ferriss and his interviews where he often talks almost as much as his interviewees. His insights and experiences are always fascinating. But I am glad that he was mostly quiet and let Amanda talk her heart out. This was in credible interview/discussion. Thank you Tim. Thank you Amanda.

  • @EmmaVB82
    @EmmaVB82 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I’ve been on something of a journey of amazing interviews tonight: a number of different podcast episodes of The Good Life Project, including yours/Tim’s (...writing TH-cam comments that are both to and about the creator is weird) interview following the silent meditation retreat, then to your TED Interview podcast interview; over to TH-cam to watch your TED talk, followed by first your interview with Neil Gaiman and now this one with Amanda Palmer.
    I’ve paused several times to read blog posts by the both of them about Anthony’s passing, and to watch Amanda’s performance of Hallelujah. I’ve experienced many waves of emotion this evening, and cried many tears.
    I have no experience of pregnancy, nor of caring for or watching someone die; only experiencing the sudden death of my father 17 years ago at the age of 47; an age now only 10 years in my future (and hearing people talk of 40 as potentially the mid-way point in their lives brings the emotional impact of the shock of that back to land in a hefty way). Unlike Amanda’s wholehearted mourning for Anthony (which I agree is probably the best way to do it), I didn’t allow myself to feel that grief so completely, and actually dissociated so much that I have gaps in my memory about what happened and how I felt.
    There are brief flashes: the clarity of the moment and whole process of finding out the news etched into my memory in some detail; the logistics of travelling back home from university (8 hours on the train), being inexplicably infuriated and resentful for no discernible reason at my wonderful then best friend who had traveled down with me, to the point I literally (regrettably) gave her the silent treatment for 2 days until she left; lashing out verbally at my mum and my aunt; the unreal moment when the funeral procession drove out of town to the crematorium, past the police station where my dad had worked for 20 years, and all of his coworkers, including those on duty who hadn’t been able to go to the funeral, were standing outside lining the road in salute; to the very hazy memories of the brief moments back at the house, which were the last time I saw or heard from any of my paternal family, for reasons I don’t understand, and that weren’t conveyed to me directly, or in any kind of clear way.
    It’s confusing to look back on... but I think I subconsciously deferred chunks of the grief and the feeling because I just wasn’t capable of dealing with it at the time, having just started at university a few weeks before, grappling with then untreated depression and anxiety arising from ADHD and autism spectrum disorder, only diagnosed 13 years later.
    So I have compassion for my past self, even though I might wish for things to have gone down differently, especially with my own behaviour.
    This isn’t a neat and tidy comment with a clear message or point, but the very real emotions in this and aforementioned other interviews have resonated with me, and helped me access and experience some of my own. To paraphrase your 2017 podcast interview on The Good Life Project, I suppose I’m feeling emotionally very porous (and as someone with ASD I feel this in a sensory perception way most of the time, especially living in London!). So I just wanted to say thank you. ❤️

    Wow I'm SOOO glad you interviewed Amanda Palmer!
    I saw you interview Neil last week, this was a happy surprise.
    I've been a fan of Amanda / Dresden Dolls since I was 14.... 16 years ago! Grateful to have witnessed most of her career, saw her band perform their beautiful heart wrenching music in tiny clubs as a young teen, in college I even got to throw a party at her house in Boston as an experimental event producer. Neil was there too!
    That's one of my neatest memories that was super nice to recall while listening to this.
    Now I'm a fairly new professional visual artist, balancing on that tight rope between creativity and finance... trying to make the latter pull through for the former... this talk was so thirst quenching. THank you thank you thank you

    i really tried, but couldn't finish The Art Of Asking. It felt self-absorbed, like she just liked the sound of her own voice. Even now when she talks about obsessing over the *one* journalist who doesn't like her and calls her a narcissist, isn't that the definition of a narcissist? But i have to admit, by the end of the recording i've come to see her in a new light. So thank you Tim and thank you Amanda, many of your truths moved me.

    This brought a tear at times. Such a beautiful energy and flow between you both. Its amazing that we are now in such an age where we can be as open as this and it is celebrated. A friend said to me once that 'talent is everywhere...but people who truly express their talents are rare'. I was listening to Jordan Peterson today who shared that not expressing who we are leaves a 'gap' in society.
    So many of us are taught as children that we should sit in the corner and be quiet and that expressing ourselves is not as important as it is to fit in. But another quote I heard is that each person brings food to a buffett...but if you do not bring your 'share' then everybody else in the group misses out.

It touched many areas of my own personal life after some pretty 'awkward' times (to put it mildly hahah). It was great to hear and watch, very profound on a number of levels, perhaps especially artistically, of finding ways forward out of a mire of crap.
    I'll have to check out your other works, it was a pleasure. Thanks again - Chris 'Stagger' Lloyd

  • @whatrtheodds
    @whatrtheodds 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    When she talks about wanting to keep your pain as an artist because you think if you heal you will lose your creativity. I understand this as I too held on to my eating disorder even though it robbed me blind, because I thought I'd lose my go to quick happiness and my "unique quirk" and become boring. I think the problems in our lives find any reason to convince us to stay. It's not true at all there are so many other ways for me to derive pleasure out of life, and ways that are far more interesting than binge eating. I am so much more of everything good that I thought I would lose because I am willing to face and work on my problem.🔥💗

    Only came across her because I'm a fan of Neil. I love her unfiltered yet optimistic view on things. We are taught in depth about superficial things but really important things in life such as childbirth and death are very surface level. No one told me as a child or an adult the things that really happen when you give birth. I think we really need to educated people before they reach full adulthood more on the full process of childbirth and death and not leave out the uncomfortable details. I had to really harass my own mother to tell me the realities of giving birth. They always gloss over the uncomfortable bits but it's information I need to know. I think it's partially because they don't want to scare you off but frankly I don't want to discover a lot of these things in the moment. Also there is the process of death. My parents have experienced being there when people die many times yet I haven't a single clue what happens. Again this is something that will be coming up in my life yet it's like trying to get blood from a stone and I find myself having to go to the internet to get information. The death process should be taught in schools. It's a lot more important and relevant than king louis the whatever...

    Sounds like the stories behind her music and talking about these stories is much more impactful that the music itself. So much personal emotion gets lost in the music and sound itself, that the consumer cannot understand until the musician chooses to talk about it...Her interviews are probably more impactful than the music itself.

    The giving birth is ‘like an acid trip’ part deserves 5 stars.

      I also feel like NOT watching this episode in video format does it no justice. Just love Amanda’s emotion. Raw and unfiltered.

    Thank you for this mind-shifting interview; there was so much in it that I needed to hear. I’ve long had a superficial dislike of Amanda which has been reenforced by the bad press she’s gotten, but it is so easy to hate on a celebrity and project your own self-loathing onto them without ever having to realise that they are also a complex human with their own deep knowledge and wisdom.
    The only objection I had is this: while I agree that women are partly conditioned to be fearful of childbirth through a medicalised atmosphere and popular media tropes, we have to be very careful to avoid adopting a reactionary narrative that shames women for needing pain relief and not doing everything “naturally.” We should never make people feel like physical pain is some kind of personal failure to adopt the right “perspective.” It’s true that women have had this covered for thousands of years, but maternal death was also quite common until the advent of modern medicine. There are so many medical conditions that can result extremely painful periods and/or labour. I’m happy for Amanda, but in many cases no amount of mental gymnastics is going to replace medical intervention.
