I love the ghosts that are in the background thru the whole thing - just like trauma, it's always there, if your lucky its gone the second you look back up. But it's still there
"I will take the dark parts of your heart into my heart" the most tragic yet beautiful lyric i've ever heard.❤️
Of misleading simplicity but loaded with meaning
♥
yes, yes
My mother was sexually abused by her father. Thank you for such a beautiful and compassionate reminder that the love we have for each other as a family is stronger than the fear and pain of what he did to her. You've helped me love my Mum more and get past the wounding of his actions passed down.
Thank you for writing this comment
The hands of God were bigger than grandpa's eyes
But still he broke the elastic on your waist
But he'll never break you, baby
But he'll never break you, baby
Oh oh oh oh oh oh...
The hands of God were bigger than grandpa's eyes
But he's long gone
The love you feel is strong
The love you feel is stronger
I will take the dark part
Of your heart into my heart
I will take the dark part
Of your heart into my heart
reading the lyrics as the song plays makes this more emotional and vivid. Disturbing, honestly. It’s horrible that many people have gone through something as horrendous as this. Thank you for this. Have a wonderful day, I hope is well. Stay safe!
I always loved this song... but I have reached a point where I understand it deeply. And it made me cry for the first time. Beautiful song, more than I had once thought it to be...
but how can it be? this song is so powerful, when I first listened to her, tears started pouring from my eyes, and I didn't understand why. Its wonderful to know i'm not alone in feeling and loving this song. btw listen to Hero from Family of the year, for me it has a similar ring.
I don't know if you will remember me or not, but I talked to you after your show in Salt Lake City about how great the video for Hood was and you told me you had a new one coming up with your mother in it and you hoped I'd like it. Anyway, This is me telling you that this song and this video are simply perfect. Thank you so much for being so damn thoughtful and beautiful with the stuff you make. It is really adding a lot to the lives of people like me.
this makes me feel sad, but a good, calm, hopeful kind of sad. not the kind of sad that makes you cry and scream so loudly and painfully that can't make another sound, but the kind of sad you feel when you're lying in bed looking up at the ceiling, tearing up but only silently.. not making a sound, just focusing on his words and trusting them wholeheartedly. it feels extraordinary to have something so beautiful to believe in. thank you, mike.
I just watched this video with my mother the morning after my brother committed suicide. Thank You Perfume Genius for giving us strength in tears and each other.
How are you doing now?
Such a powerful, beautiful, touching song. Rare for a song to just pull at my heart so strongly.
I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS SONG FOR LITERALLY 2 WEEKS HAVING RANDOMLY REMEMBERED IT. I FINALLY FOUND IT HOLY GOSH.
His mom currently runs the gsa at my high school, used to be the vice principal and teach at the middle school I went to.
She teaches me at middle school
Beautiful. Shed a tear thinking of my mother.
Jimmy Waters ik his mom she's my teacher
Jenna Frazee wait..what?
Me too. I miss her so much
I love how Mike can evoke such deep emotion in so few words
I have to see him live someday!!
''I will take the dark part of your heart into my heart.'' Beautiful and tragic. When I hear that line I think about images of a pregnant woman rubbing her belly knowing that whatever she went through or experienced and the effect it has on her mentally could get passed on to her child. Maybe even fear and/or guilt that your child might go through the same thing since they're basically one half of you. And then I visualize the fetus growing and the actual birth. Weird non logical scene of the mothers dark blood coming from her heart going into the child creating a heart-literally. It just makes me think how connected we really are with the humans who made us, who's DNA we share. It makes me feel! It's been a while since a lyric like that has ever made me think or visualize my own concept of a song in a very very long time. You're a fantastic song writer Mike, a true genius. Thank you.
Wow dude....thats fucking deep....when I have just come to a powerful realization about my relationship with my mother...thanks.
one of the greatest talents at the moment bar none!!!
His love and support of his mother touches my heart in a profound way. This song stays with me. Year after year, I go back to his work and this song is always my emotional rescue.
This song makes me fucking cry
me too bro
The love of dogs and human bond transcends everything in my eyes. Beautiful
Wow, your music is incredibly good and your mother is absolutely stunning. Congratulations Mike
He sounds exactly like Sufjan Stevens when he sings the line "I will take the dark part." It's crazy.
Sufjan sounds like him.
My favorite song, off of one of my favorite albums of all time, from possibly my favorite musician of all time. Therefore, one of my favorite songs ever conceived. Tragically gorgeous.
Been in love with Perfume Genius, lyrics and music of divinity, since stumbling upon "Take Me Home" all those years ago. The simple beauty, gentleness, compassion and depth of existence within his lyrics and music, are so much more than most will ever comprehend. Thank you.
You've managed to make my heart cry and smile at the same time with your beautiful song; love you for doing it. Thank you.
I just discovered him today. How amazing. So much emotion and raw talent. My heart feels equally heavy and happy.
Caught a glimpse of this song on Nat Geo Music was searching it for 5 whole years... I love this video. Finally my search ends... and I can enjoy this.
Was not expected to get hit with heavy emotions like that. Damn what a song. Last part sounds like Sufjan Stevens
Thrills in his voice, thrills on my skin & brain
All I ever wanna hear from someone "I will take the dark part of your heart into my heart"
HIS MOTHER IS MY TEACHER!!!!
Really? Awesome lol
+Viridiana C Holy shit, I think I'm such a big fan of Mike that I would not be able to cope with that :)
any profile on twitter or fb of her
Viridiana C
no, vice principal right?? was she a teacher years ago??
Bryan Wilson mate. no.
This is really f**king beautiful.
Thanks Nat Geo Music!!! It's a rarity that you find good songs from TV these days.
true man.. nat geo music brought me here
Ankur Tripathi sameee nat geo music brought me here too
I saw Perfume Genius in Seoul in 2015(?). I wanted nothing more than for them to play this song and they did. Afterwards I got to meet Mike and I told him how much it meant to me they played Dark Parts. He's such a sweet guy and I'm forever thankful for such incredibly moving music. (And as a music producer I'm in awe at the elite production too)
I really liked Michael's Greek art inspired t-shirt in the beginning.
Its lyric and music is wonderfull
I'm absolutely in love with everything he releases... This is so hauntingly beautiful and easing...
This song in its entirety is compelling and beautiful. Its the song that always linger in my head because I can relate to this. Mike you have a beautiful soul and mother. Thank you for sharing your gift.
I sometimes forget how much I adore Mike
Love your song Mike, and oh, I so would have been your friend, had I gone to High School with you.
I'm not crying you are
I seriously wanna cry everytime I watch this video.
This made me feel incredible
I wish his songs were longer. They're absolutely perfect.
This song was released in2012! My last year in elementary school which draw a period of my childhood. I still remember in April 2012 my friend said she was upset coz we are gonna graduate and be apart soon. I downplay her sadness since I had hard time to imagine being apart by time and space. But now It is 2021, when nostalgia hits me so hard at midnight under the dim light sitting alone, I am finally aware what she meant after 9 years because I have witnessed those dark parts of life and begin to scavenge those innocent bits and piece in innocent childhood memory.
Mike, I listen to this record when I feel upset, and it's the only one Ill listen to when I have that emotion. Thank you for making such a captivating album, because there's no album out there that makes me feel better. You are truly making mesmerizing work
Did anyone else first hear this song on the Roku series Survive? I first saw it last year, just looking for something to watch. I had no idea what a big part of my life it would become. Now it's my favorite story.
What a talented artist.. I love his music..
I could listen to this over and over forever.
this guy is nothing but an artist....wow. keep going...
Something about this song really gets me. Every time I hear it I get a feeling that I haven't had in a long time and I thank you for that.
I don't why most of my fave songs come from not so popular artists
Tanuja Meitei because you have good taste and an open mind
this is such a beautiful, sad song
this video is so beautiful, this song is so beautiful. for a while I couldn't even listen to your music without crying, it reminds me too much of where I came from
such a wonderful piece of music
I heard his voice from toyota commercial for the first time and i had to search it who sings it and I found him here! Love his voice! My new fave!
Moana Boulware me as well
Holy shit I just realised something
Going to see PERFUME GENIUS at the Roxy ATL! Thanks to 91.1 for the tickets
this is true, perfect beauty; this is magik.
thank you,@Perfume Genius.
Mike, Alan, Matt (brother), Dan (step father), Ram & Merlin (dogs) all in there, too. Completely loving.
you have just summed everything about this song up. bless you
Conheci essa música pelo filme "TEMPESTADE" da Amazon ❤
A fucking masterpiece. What an amazing son to his mother.
Just heard him perform this song live at the Open Source Festival... Just stunning, such a beautiful song!
seeing him today in toronto! so excited!
❤there's no other song that reminds of home...
Only recently discovered Perfume Genius, and he's already become one of my favorites. Too bad most of his songs are so short!
So beautiful
This song is so good💚💙❤
This music must be in billion club
so much love for them. beautiful.
Never really understood what "it" was before... But you've definitely got IT. Great stuff, man.
i want to like this over and over and over and over and over. put your back n 2 it is perfect.
I've watched this about 7 times and still bursting into tears at 2:00. Love you Mike.
Hauntingly bittersweet. Good post. Thanks.
Put Your Back N 2 It is easily the best album I've heard so far this year!
I loved Mr. Peterson in a one-off kind of way, but I was so surprised by the depth of this song and the emotion it gave to me. I tend to get teary at "I will take the dark part of your heart.." Beautiful song.
Incredibly moving and truly inspiring for the weak at heart. Saw him At the Mann Center in Philly last night, what an amazing talent.
I could listen to this album everyday for the rest of my life and it would still have the crushing effect on me
I'm sitting here crying like a child thinking about my mother I lost years ago. Thank You .....
I love him more and more. ♥
At one time the scarf ghost (love it) was Alan, and at another it was Matt, depending on the shot. (i.e., Alan is on the bed and Matt is dancing.) Thanks for your kindness. Mike has such great friends. :-)
He reminds me of Simon from Misfits. Cute.
Aaron Gautier-Borrell have you heard of Perfume Genius? I love all the songs, but this one is probably my favorite. Hope you like it
OMG, it's beautiful... Thanks for sharing this. 😊
Aaron Gautier-Borrell you are so very welcome my love
I love all of these videos so much!!!
Absolutely！A calm and hopeful sadness which makes me think and smile and then go no.
Absolutely beautiful. I have no words. All of your stuff is amazing, you are a very talented song writer, keep it up! (And come to Canada this summer! Please.)
I'm obsessed. In love. This is amazing.
About 200 of these views are mine, and more to come. Fantastic song, Mike. Glad to see you perform again the other day at Criterion.
All the survivors are crying rn, right? It can't be just me. It's statistically impossible.
eeeey, was just playing this song on my guitar! awesome to see a movie about it now!
seeing him tomorrow in Toronto! he'll be opening for Sigur Ros.
this song is life
anybody else bawling?
Yes! That was just beautiful.
