"A song written about loving someone with depression and how difficult It can be to reach them, to make them feel loved, and how frustrating it is when they cannot find happiness. It’s about trying to make a connection, a task that often just feels impossible." - Katie Stelmanis,
For those wondering what the video is about, it is inspired by the American astronaut Lisa Nowak's scandal, when she attempted to kidnap and beat the woman she thought was the lover of the man she was in love with. Katie Stelmanis, portraying Nowak, buys the things Nowak actually bought before commiting her crime. Katie told in an interview that she wanted to represent mental illness in our society, how we perceive it, but also wanted to pay tribute to Nowak, who was, and still is, a brillant woman.

This is the perfect song to walk around in this first post quarantine fall with the georgous weather we've been having. The sun and clouds and the biting wind on your cheeks, surrounded by wild colors.
that synth beat on the background is so nostalgic. I remember Grimes was using similar beats when she started with her experimentalism. It brings happiness to me and freedom combing with this ethereal voice. Its like she's teaching us so many stuff while just expressing herself. magical is all i can say < 3 (sorry im spamming your songs now Austra)
"you're a stranger to what you makes you feel good" is such a beautiful line. and of course "there is nothing in your soul tonight, I only see darkness".
Sad and strangely beautiful. Using Lisa Nowak's story for the video and the way it's executed is just brilliant. As soon as she put on the NASA suit and got into the car I knew exactly what it was about. Perfection.
IloveSPIDERZ Lisa Nowak was a NASA astronaut who was charged with the attempting kidnapping of another woman. The items bought in the video are the same as what Lisa bought to do this. She tried to kidnap the other woman as she thought that her husband (maybe lover I'm not sure) had cheated on her with the woman. The case was very significant and raised lots of questions about the mental health of NASA astronauts who are placed under a lot of stress and social pressure.
This is a fantastically beautiful song that really resonates with those who have suffered from or are with someone suffering from depression. Can't favourite and like enough. Also, that voice, goddam.
@timothylamphear wishing for a band to stay where they are is pretty selfish, don't you think? don't you want to share the bliss of listening to a great band with everyone else? don't you want the mainstream to change instead of making sure you will never be part of it so you can continue to feel especially enlightened? Austra are obviously successful and well-known already, but I, too, hope that they will be even more successful in the future, so that they can touch even more people and, maybe most importantly, so that they can continue to pay the bills with their music.
If you love me more than I love myself and yet I love myself more than you love me, then who loves me more? No matter the "story" of the song, words, theme, whatever.. completely irrelevant... I know I adore your opera voice, the way you pronounce words, the way you let go your voice. Also, I adore even more music you make and play, production(ist) and all the studio magic you give and share. I'm gonna drop myself out of my shoes in the club when played. Awesome base line, composition, background sounds, sound theme and variations! Great job!!
I Love You More Than You Love Yourself AustraThere is nothing in your soul tonight I only see darkness And there is nothing in your soul tonight I only see darkness The past, how thick it grows Shakes up what you didn’t know Proceeding, try a little bit harder, baby You’re indifferent You’re a stranger to what makes you feel good I love you more than you love yourself I love you more than you love yourself On top of it Pulling out the nails In a moment of calm Still feels good But it's been so long There is nothing in your soul tonight I only see darkness And there is nothing in your soul tonight I only see darkness The past, how thick it grows Shakes up what you didn’t know Proceeding, try a little bit harder, baby You’re indifferent You’re a stranger to what makes you feel good I love you more than you love yourself I love you more than you love yourself
This song has different meaning to anyone who hears it. I heard this live in Winnipeg and it broke my fucking heart in half. Such a beautiful, tragic song. ❤
Excellent!! Thanks. I'm just discovering you and I bought 'Feel It Break' deluxe version five minutes ago! Your others records will follow, it's absolutely sure! ;-D

Pierre Ribeiro Thanks for that.
I had a feeling ,.
Pierre Ribeiro Thank you for your service!
verdadero amor, gracias amigo. Totalmente mi caso :(
I am so glad you posted this here for me to find it. Now I know how my husband feels.
Nobody says "nothing", "darkness" and "tonight" better than Katie.
What about "the past how thick it grows?"

No references to the fact she was wearing a diaper though from what I see.
a very touching piece of art
i love the maturity of their sound and Katie's voice

I saw Austra live in Austin, TX two years ago.....and her voice, it's HEAVENLY!
that synth beat on the background is so nostalgic. I remember Grimes was using similar beats when she started with her experimentalism. It brings happiness to me and freedom combing with this ethereal voice. Its like she's teaching us so many stuff while just expressing herself. magical is all i can say < 3 (sorry im spamming your songs now Austra)
I love her voice, is super special in each song
This video always reminds me of my time living in downtown PDX
"you're a stranger to what you makes you feel good" is such a beautiful line. and of course "there is nothing in your soul tonight, I only see darkness".
One of their best songs... I love this band! See you in Amsterdam
Beautiful song, beautiful video, beautiful town, beautiful girl.
Love Austra. First heard them when I was in Austria :)
a secret place I can come to listen to good music. I can't wait for you to become famous!!!
I love the story behind it!
Love this.
great song. based o a true story.
can you explain it? thank you
Is it loosely based on the Lisa Nowak story? That looks like a NASA suit she is wearing early on.
master piece
I just can't stop listening to this!
Sad and strangely beautiful. Using Lisa Nowak's story for the video and the way it's executed is just brilliant. As soon as she put on the NASA suit and got into the car I knew exactly what it was about. Perfection.
Juan Medero okay, good! Please help me bacause I still don't get it! Lol

One of her best songs.

MASTERPIECE
So refreshing! I cannot wait for the new album to come out!

Such an amazing voice
Austra. La descubri el año pasado. Cada una de sus canciones consigue transportarme a un lugar unico
I freaking love this video
This is a fantastically beautiful song that really resonates with those who have suffered from or are with someone suffering from depression. Can't favourite and like enough. Also, that voice, goddam.
Amo a Austra! Me encanta la evolución que ha tenido el sonido del grupo y sus videos como siempre, son fantásticos!
They're so underrated.. if sia and Florence + machine can be popular why can't austra?
Why do you need them to be popular? What does that do for you?
timothylamphear OP likes their music, thus wants them to succeed. Why exactly is that bad?
I think they're already succeeding. How are they failing? Why the need for Austra to be mainstream like Sia & Florence?
@timothylamphear wishing for a band to stay where they are is pretty selfish, don't you think? don't you want to share the bliss of listening to a great band with everyone else? don't you want the mainstream to change instead of making sure you will never be part of it so you can continue to feel especially enlightened?

PeepsILoveEllie you just said it all.

Very nice... thanks for that sound, witch is so wonderful to hear.
Fantastic song and video! Looks like an episode from the Fargo TV series.
I saw this and was like wow.
Good song!!! good videoclip!!
If you love me more than I love myself and yet I love myself more than you love me, then who loves me more?

I Love You More Than You Love Yourself
AustraThere is nothing in your soul tonight
I only see darkness
And there is nothing in your soul tonight
I only see darkness
The past, how thick it grows
Shakes up what you didn’t know
Proceeding, try a little bit harder, baby
You’re indifferent
You’re a stranger to what makes you feel good
I love you more than you love yourself
I love you more than you love yourself
On top of it
Pulling out the nails
In a moment of calm
Still feels good
But it's been so long
There is nothing in your soul tonight
I only see darkness
And there is nothing in your soul tonight
I only see darkness
The past, how thick it grows
Shakes up what you didn’t know
Proceeding, try a little bit harder, baby
You’re indifferent
You’re a stranger to what makes you feel good
I love you more than you love yourself
I love you more than you love yourself
