    I've probably watched this 40 times over the last few years and every rime I'm completely mesmerized and moved to tears by the end, I honestly can't think of another performance that has moved me in this way

      This is definitely one of my favorite Aldous performances. You can't beat the acoustics of a bathroom! It's like the perfect mid point between her original folk music and her newer stuff. And she actually shows emotion here; which she doesn't show a whole lot of in some of her newer live performances.
      If you want another great artist who will rip out your soul, show you all the cracks, glue them back together... say a native prayer, slam your soul back inside... pat you on the head, punch you in the arm, and runaway. Checkout Aurora. You won't even know why you're crying tears of joy, you just will be. She's an algae ball full of pure unadulterated hope.

    I attended her concert here in Gothenburg a few weeks ago (april 2023). Fantastic appearance! The last song was "Swell does the skull" which she perfomed solo on the stage. A truly genuine artist, I feel only true human love for her. This is what it means to be a human in this worldy context.

    I have no idea how many times I’ve watched this video, maybe several hundred by now. EVERY SINGLE TIME I am moved to tears. This has never happened to me with any other song. Just to see what would happen, I played it three times in a row, and I cried each time. Something about the combination of the haunting acoustics, the powerful emotions wrought across her face and the authenticity of her expressiveness through her lone instrument is wholly captivating and all consuming. What she feels, I feel and it is both heart wrenching and deeply beautiful. I am so so glad that this exists in the world and that we are all able to connect with something so achingly beauteous, full of longing, pain and love.

      You're not wrong about the wind. She's actually simultaneously singing and making light blowing sounds through her lips during the onomatopoeic ("ooo-wooo-ooo") section of the song. You can actually SEE her doing it by when she starts and stops (her lips puff, then de-puff, when you can hear the low whistle of the air pushing past her pursed lips). It's similar to what the Tuvan throat singers of Mongolia do (only somewhat less complicated), creating two tones through one voice.

    My grandfather died about a year ago. As a child he used to take care of me while my parents worked, cutting up melons and fresh fruit instead of giving me baby foods. When he was dying, I felt like such a coward, I didn’t want to see him, I didn’t want to watch someone I loved die, I felt like I was winning for running away from supporting him, and I didn’t want to be a sinner. When he died, my grandmother began to drink more heavily than she did when he was alive, heavy liquors, like bourbon. He served in the army at the end of WWII and during Korea, and I imagined him coming home from those wars to my grandmother, being done with it all, and trying to go back to rural Texarkana, where he was from. When he passed, my grandmother began to have more sugars in the house, namely honey, which she couldn’t do before with him having diabetes. When i hear this song, about an old man in a coat, out in the rain, it makes me think about how even when he was 80 years old he’d go out and play in puddles, when he couldn’t walk right he’d still play out there with a cane or a walking stick, and how most of the nights I’d go see him we’d start a fire in his front yard fireplace, and all my family would come together to talk. Even as I wrote this I began to cry, and every time I do I feel like there’s a swell in my skull, like my head is shaking with the tears coming out. And then I hear that last line, that I’ll never be without him, and I just want to hear his voice one more time, or give him a hug, because I miss him so much.
    I don’t know if the writer of this song will ever read this, but this song was one of the only things to bring me peace. It hurts me so much to hear this beautiful song, and yet it means so much to me. Hearing it makes me remember how much I loved my grandfather, and I can only say thank you.

    Man, this is beautiful and amazing. What a finely crafted song- feels as if it was hundreds of years old, burnished by the hands of so many passing it down the years, its lyrics both universal and cryptic enough to hold any number of personal stories. A lovely melody line -lamenting, wistful, warm, chilling, remote; it's all of these. I'd place its origin as English or Flemish, 1770 - 1825, if I didn't understand the lyrics (bourbon and vervet give it away, in a hilarious fashion). That it's a contemporary creation imbues it with a mystical quality, as if this anachronism fell from the sky fully formed, like a meteorite - ancient, its shape and texture the testament of its long journey. Aldous Harding must have listened to and sung a lot of old folk songs over the years to have created this original gem. Very very cool.

    With his coat and his walking cane

      watching her expressions, it looks like that place has racks and thumbscrews. I mean that in a very caring way, of course.

    IMO this is the first Aldous performance I would represent to anyone. Blessed to see her at work at Bristol UK twice. My take on the song is that the man with the cane is on a Jonnie Walker bottle. She is the artist. Hope she is in UK soon and I will endeavour to be stared through by her.

    • @russkort

      Yes! I thought I was the only one who was making the Johnnie Walker connection! The song could entirely be about a struggle with alcoholism. The lyrics "velvet always velvet", "there's honey on the bread now" both could be describing bourbon characteristics. And of course "bourbon always bourbon" is a dead giveaway. I just imagine the character in this song somberly sitting by the fireside, listening to music on a rainy evening after the day's work is done, and clutching tightly a bottle of JW; alone and contemplating her life as a singer/sinner.
