Being in the US, I did not know what a "Lilo" was, and at first, I assumed it was a British term for a waterlily. I looked it up and found out that it is just an air mattress or pool raft, and the song suddenly lost some of the beautiful imagery I had created in my head because all I could picture was a hot pink pool raft in a swimming pool.... This video has totally rectified that, and now I am extra sad because of the incredible romantic (in the old sense of the word) imagery in this video. Wow. Just wow. Also, my husband discovered her just 3 weeks ago and it just so happened that she was playing 15 minutes away the following week. We got tickets and saw her live. Never have I ever enjoyed a concert so much with music with which I was almost entirely unfamiliar. She was actually sick and still sounded AMAZING! I am now officially obsessed with The Japanese House.
Do you know when you love something so much that you can feel that love in the center of your chest? That's what I feel with this song, but now that I've seen the video, it's on another celestial level. It has made a hole in my soul that pierced me through the most beautiful form. your music means so much and I can not believe that none of my friends knows you and I do not have anyone to talk to about you.
amber, that was the most beautifully heartbreaking video ive seen. i am so grateful you have chosen to create music for the world to hear. i love you like you’ll never understand
I can't imagine how strange it would have been having your ex girlfriend in your music video with you, but both yourself and Marika Hackman are fantastic musicians.
i dont get sad when i listen to this; i just get struck by how beautiful it is and all my thoughts go. it makes my otherwise flooded, anxious mind calm.
The biggest masterpieces whether it be paintings, songs are created by humans after going through an heartbreak. The emotional energy is very strong after a breakup. You can use this just as amber did to better your life and connect with more people and keep finding the best person for you.
The first time that I heard this song, it really pained me. I was still in a relationship that time. And now I came back here, alone. This meant and hurt alot.
My dog's name is Lilo and she's sleeping on my chest rn (she's a 65lb pitbull mastiff lol). My anxiety is getting to me since covid and I think about her death too much even though she's only 6. The anxiety does help me, help her live her life to the fullest though.
The wait was worth it! Beautiful video. It shows how healty the relationship was that she agreed making a video about it. But after all, everithing ends on some point. I just slept 4 hours with my headphones playing The Japanese House playlist on Spotify.
When I listen this song I feel like living life again. Just had a heartbreak. The lyrics are so creative. Amber, you are really good. Looking for more masterclass like Lilo from you. Honesty, The Japanese House is my favorite music band. Face Like thunder, you seemed so happy , something has to change and so many more good songs. I hope Amber and her team gets the recognition they deserve. Let's share their songs and help them as much as we can.
this music video is the most beautifully shot, edited and directed music video I've ever seen. the visuals are breathtaking and have such layers of meaning that makes the song that much more meaningful. amazing job.
I just discovered her a couple days ago and I’m in love with her music and I’m sorry I can’t stop watching this video girl you have such a beautiful voice this song is stuck in my head on repeat
LETRAS I needed someone to depend upon I was alone, I was emotional Searching for the right emoticon To expand my mental lexicon And Gemma told me that she met someone It was the person I'd been counting on It felt good, it felt transitional A feeling I'd been waiting on You were floating like a lilo With your eyes closed, going where the tide goes Caught in flux, you drifted 'til you hit the sides Hold my breath another minute I can keep my head, there's nothing in it I'm a patient wave And it's an easy ride I saw myself an intellectual I thought that I was capable Every move was just habitual And life was just a ritual And Gemma told me that she met somebody Nobody else could take me from myself I wasn't searching for it anymore The feeling I'd been waiting for You were floating like a lilo With your eyes closed, going where the tide goes Caught in flux, you drifted 'til you hit the sides Hold my breath another minute I can keep my head, there's nothing in it I'm a patient wave (I'm a patient wave) And it's an easy ride Floating like a lilo with your Going where the tide goes Floating like a lilo with your Going where the tide goes (Floating like a) (Floating like a) (Floating like a) (Floating like a) You were floating like a lilo With your eyes closed, going where the tide goes Caught in flux, you drifted 'til you hit the sides Hold my breath another minute I can keep my head, there's nothing in it I'm a patient wave (I'm a patient wave) And it's an easy ride
I first heard this song on a playlist my friend sent me. i've been listening and jamming like there's no tomorrow. I looked up the person who sang it and discovered they were a girl (amber's voice is so endearingly ambiguous it makes me happy) but I was confused. I then had a small suspicion that she was Gay™ but I did _not_ know she was _this_ Gay™. this is Gayness Supreme. fucking amen.
Hope you get the recognition you deserve Amber! Aside from being insanely good, your band has helped me through some really hard times, I can’t express how much I appreciate you guys. 💙
I am in love with this song, I usually don't have a favorite song but it been like 6 months that I have been listening to it constantly. This is like my happy song and I JUST DONT KNOW HOW TO EXPRESS HOW MUCH I LIKE IT, ITS JUST BEAUTIFUL, SAD, HOPEFUL, GAY IDK ANYMORE. Amber, I love ur music ur so talented and all of ur songs just make me feel....
just found out about the japanese house recently ... the melody, lyrics & visuals of lilo are incredibly touching - all I wanna do is to snuggle into my bed now and listen to it all day
This is absolutely the most beautiful music video I have ever seen. Especially when you know the story behind too, and that it is her actual ex who is in the video with her

I had left the room when I began playing this video, peeked through the door and saw the embrace in the beginning and immediately welled up, stunning cinematography
So many heartfelt comments here. There is still much good in this desolate human world that connects us. Amber you have the gift to shine celestial light into our souls. Your words and voice are inspiration enough for this old cynic to give hope another chance. The chain is reacting, critical mass is building, perhaps not all is lost when sadness can quicken so intimately. I will be a patient wave, once more.
Utterly beautiful. This demonstrates falling out of love so adequately - the silent pain, the not wanting to, the lack of control.
Rightly said.
miss jade! stumbled upon your comment on my favorite song as of lately. thinking of you and sending love☺️
Yes
The fact that she actually filmed this video with her ex after the broke up... She is so dedicated and I love this music video and song

I had assumed that she had an actress play the part. I didn't realize that it was her actual ex in the video. Wow.
@@kateconnellcpdt-ka692 it's Marika Hackman, also an incredible musical artist. Check her out :)
@@georgelinford5576 Thank you for telling me....I'm now obsessed with Marika as well! Incredible!

So lucky!!
You're so lucky, i hope i can watch her 😭
im so lucky to have been born into the era amber exists.

i hope that love hasn’t gone away
Listen to the Japanese every day and have for years. Truly a beauty of life
lesbians always get the good music

@Lucast lol i released it later but i didnt want to delete the comment
@@brofirstentretaiment1834 bth, are u blind? Lol
@@brofirstentretaiment1834 her ex girlfriend of four years :(
@Maksura Maria you do realise both the women in this video are lesbians right
Coming back to this. Still gives me the same feeling when i first watched it. Still as painful
I can't believe this isn't on the news for breaking thousands of hearts.
*my heart has left the chat*
SAME
*my heart is just a lilo now*

she is so underrated!!!! i love all of her songs they make me feel like I'm dreaming/underwater idk how to describe it
i cannot believe we have been blessed with such gayness. what a time to be alive
Cye123 omg dis so accurate
Blessed with gayness?
the gayness is quite epic
blessed with gayness??
@@fadhililman5020 yeah the song is about her girlfriend
My dog's name is Lilo and she's sleeping on my chest rn (she's a 65lb pitbull mastiff lol). My anxiety is getting to me since covid and I think about her death too much even though she's only 6. The anxiety does help me, help her live her life to the fullest though.
I am in love with the scenery 😍
When music becomes art.
this is one of the most beautiful pieces of art i have ever seen like it physically hurts to watch this but at the same time i love it
Just got this lp in the mail two days ago and I haven’t stopped listening!!❤️
It baffles me why TJH won’t get big but at the same time, it’s like being part of a little secret.
ugh i love it honestly

first time i heard the song i was crying, seeing these emotions just made me end up sobbing. amber and marika saved my sapphic heart jfc
How does this feel painful and hopeful, lyrically and visually at the same time? Explain yourself! I'm crying sad and happy tears thanks! ):)
One of the most beautiful videos I’ve ever seen. Thank you for being so raw with us in this song and video most of all
this music video is the most beautifully shot, edited and directed music video I've ever seen. the visuals are breathtaking and have such layers of meaning that makes the song that much more meaningful. amazing job.
One of THE best live shows I've ever seen!
I just discovered her a couple days ago and I’m in love with her music and I’m sorry I can’t stop watching this video girl you have such a beautiful voice this song is stuck in my head on repeat
LETRAS
I needed someone to depend upon
I was alone, I was emotional
Searching for the right emoticon
To expand my mental lexicon
And Gemma told me that she met someone
It was the person I'd been counting on
It felt good, it felt transitional
A feeling I'd been waiting on
You were floating like a lilo
With your eyes closed, going where the tide goes
Caught in flux, you drifted 'til you hit the sides
Hold my breath another minute
I can keep my head, there's nothing in it
I'm a patient wave
And it's an easy ride
I saw myself an intellectual
I thought that I was capable
Every move was just habitual
And life was just a ritual
And Gemma told me that she met somebody
Nobody else could take me from myself
I wasn't searching for it anymore
The feeling I'd been waiting for
You were floating like a lilo
With your eyes closed, going where the tide goes
Caught in flux, you drifted 'til you hit the sides
Hold my breath another minute
I can keep my head, there's nothing in it
I'm a patient wave (I'm a patient wave)
And it's an easy ride
Floating like a lilo with your
Going where the tide goes
Floating like a lilo with your
Going where the tide goes
(Floating like a)
(Floating like a)
(Floating like a)
(Floating like a)
You were floating like a lilo
With your eyes closed, going where the tide goes
Caught in flux, you drifted 'til you hit the sides
Hold my breath another minute
I can keep my head, there's nothing in it
I'm a patient wave (I'm a patient wave)
And it's an easy ride
I dropped everything just now.

Dis comment is priceless
it brings me to tears knowing josuke is a fan of the japanese house
@@punchnello4495 great desu yo
Gay™ lol....I like that. clever
Josuke Higashikata nani sorih josuke
I didn't think I had so many tears in my body until I watched this masterpiece. This is gorgeous
Hope you get the recognition you deserve Amber! Aside from being insanely good, your band has helped me through some really hard times, I can’t express how much I appreciate you guys. 💙
My cat passed away today, and I'm feeling a whole lot of different emotions. Somehow this song captures all of them ❤️
I’ve never watched a music video as beautiful as this one. I’m so glad I found this artist bc she makes beautiful music that resonates in my soul.
I am in love with this song, I usually don't have a favorite song but it been like 6 months that I have been listening to it constantly.

This is so beautiful I don’t know how many times I watched this ... this is so good
I have legit had this on loop for the last 3 weeks

I didn't think a song so bittersweet existed. Beautiful and lovely. I believe this is what art on a higher level is.
The end where you can see how far the pillow is from her - that really sealed the deal, beautifully heartbreaking imagery right there
Wow, just wow. I cried. Such a beautiful video and song. Restored my belief that music videos can be great again
I’ve come back after a year to savor this beauty
SAMEE
now come back after another year-
Did anyone else feel their heart break? No? Okay.
yeah
The Japanese House has that effect 😕
IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS SONG FOR SO LONG IM SO GLAD I FOUND IT AGAIN
This song is so beautiful. Fell in love with it last night.
Love her voice !!!
i will forever be grateful for this!!! i love you amber!!!!
That the two of you could make something so beautiful after breaking up speaks volumes.
声がたまらなく素敵
Adore this song so much

I’ve just discovered amber and omg I’m blessed
In love with the message of this video. Sweet, but sad.

you dont understand how much i love this song
this aesthetically pleased my soul
Please have a tour here in the Philippines, I love y'all 🇵🇭
Sounds so good, it gives me chills every time I listen to it. ❤️👍
I had left the room when I began playing this video, peeked through the door and saw the embrace in the beginning and immediately welled up, stunning cinematography
The talent is just overflowing-such power.
Used to cry to this song when my ex left me. Thank you for writing such beautiful lyrics
I love them sooo much, beautiful amazing music & her voice ughh 😍🥰
I seriously don't understand how this doesn't have more views
the visual in this video is BOMB! love ittttt
i love these women ms amber can NOT make a bad song!

I like this video. It's calm, but audacious at the same time.
How does this not have more views.
I genuinely have goosebumps watching this
The Japanese house is so beautiful im floored
I love them both so much 😔💖
it's too early in the morning for these powerful emotions damnit
The most fascinating thing about this video is that you could actually film a whole movie around those scenes.
This is so beautifully pieced together I’m in love 🥰
