Kalandra - I Am (Official Music Video)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.พ. 2025
- “I Am” serves as the opening chapter for our upcoming album, A Frame of Mind.
The music video is made by the multi talented filmmaker, puppet maker and stop motion artist Martyna Koleniec.
We are so incredibly proud of how she’s managed to make our storytelling and vision come to life. We didn’t really have to follow up much as she simply “understood” the task perfectly, which makes us both teary eyed and ever grateful. We hope it resonates with you as much as it does for us.
Feel free to like/share this with someone you know and help us grow as a band, or visit our new merchandise store: kalandrashop.c...
Music arranged and produced by the four of us in Kalandra
Lyrics by Katrine Stenbekk, Jogeir Mæland, Florian Winter

Creds to the video makers! Stop motion like this takes A LOT of time and effort to make. Really good job!
I'm happy to see this art still exists in a world with AI and fake CGI.
@@harpenfluit fake CGI? As opposed to real CGI?
@TheRealSkeletor Shrek was a documentary don't you know?
Agreed. Really, really well done
Truly incredible. I keep coming back to watch this and I still can’t wrap my head around how much time and effort and love was poured into this. So much attention to small details, it is definitely the most beautiful music video I have ever seen and it fits the song so well.
The part with finding the inner child tossed in the dark cellar of mind and accepting it made me burst into tears.
Ok so this is officially the best stop motion animation since Tools "Sober" not to mention this song is incredibly heavy.. Kalandra is literally so under rated here in the US.. Been one of my favorite bands for years... I hope their label wakes up and promotes them here in the US..
I don't know if you're into this style, but there's also A Different World, from Korn, which has a stop motion animation (at least it is in the style, I don't know if it's a real one but I guess so). 😉
I agree, there's really few artists and bands nowadays that connect directly with the soul like Kalandra can. In my opinion, best band in the world, no competition. There's always so much to get from their music. We really need to spread the word her in the US so they can start touring over here.
This piece is profound, moving and left me in silent awe and amazement. It's clear to me that both the music, words and video were made by 'old souls'. This is a collaboration of wonderful Artists at the highest level. Chapeau bas.
Beautifully said.
As someone who comes from an abusive, and alcoholic family, I cannot even begin to describe how much this song means to me. In my childhood I developed a lot of narcissistic tendencies just to survive and now whenever shit hits the fan, I'll have to consciously fight against the urge to turn into a shit person. I'm so much better than my parents were, but it's hard to remember and make into a reality.
Have you ever thought that maybe your narcissistic tendencies are genetic or at least partially?
@@waynedexter don't throw that deterministic bullshit upon him, without even considering the understanding brought by epigenetics or if this process can be affected by the mind.
@@shuratobrc So I can understand you better, why is it bullshit?
@@waynedexter science doesn’t know if it’s the brain that brings about consciousness or if brain activity is a product of consciousness. That said, what you presented to our friend is a huge wall to his effort in trying to stop hurting people, for that negative part will use what you said as a means to convince him to give in.
@@shuratobrc I’m not trying convince him to give in. But I am trying to convince him to not beat himself up for having bad thoughts.
I am so moved. I am sat feeding my baby. In tears. I know my daughter will never have to heal her inner child the way I have. Thankyou Kalandra profound and beautiful. ❤ and the stopmotion animations! Amazing ❤
I'm also crying rn. My inner child is so beaten and broken, but I try to heal her day after day. I hope to have my own baby with my soulmate one day, and he/she will NEVER have to suffer the same traumas as us, bc we'll protect him/her at all costs. I wish you the most beautiful, happy and fulfilling life with your little girl / family
@melancolielupine2023 What a beautiful response ❤️ thankyou so much! You will have all of that one day! And the traumas you have faced will make you the best mama. Wishing you well, peace and love ❤️ 🙏
@@Emily-mj6oh That connection was beautiful.
@@Jadusart ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I don't like the fact the yellow guy left the person that is fighting her demons. It is the truth the person that suffers always stays alone and abondoned cause someone healthy does not understand and cannot immagine what the other person is going through. It is easier just leave the person that needs help and support the most.
Beautiful! This gives me serious TOOL vibes, which is a very good thing... And Martyna Koleniec did a fantastic job, there is so much emotion in there and it complements the music perfectly. Thank you for this!
With a bit of Steven Wilson... ❤
more katatonia than both, but sure. similar chording structure, especially in the heavier parts, and the solo was so katatonia. way beyond tool. but there was a tool like section.
@@elliotalders0neh? What about wings for Marie?
This is giving me TooL vibes big time! Absolutely amazed as always, Kalandra.....bless you!
Just blown away with these poignant lyrics. Feel this to the depths of my soul. Another amazing sound journey from my favorite musicians. ❤ we don't listen to Kalandra, we live Kalandra as a whole body experience. Stunning and healing. ❤
I didn't expect this to resonate so deeply within like I'm sitting here weeping after taking this all in
This song has led me to an emotional breakdown. And then to an emotional break through. Words cannot express my love and gratitude for helping me find a way through my chaos.
Very happy that I have known this incredible band. We were passing for difficult moments here in south of Brazil, and the youtube music recommended to me the song "The State of the world"...Hearing that song was a medicine to my soul. And now, that new beautiful music video and song again, fulling me with love. Thanks for doing truly art, Kalandra!
Hey, good vibes to you!
It touches some unhealed areas of my soul. Thank you. I cried during the premiere
Same here
One of the most beautiful music videos I've seen!
Very meaningful lyrics...🎧 Thanks for sharing such great content ❣️
Wow!❤❤❤❤
SW and Ninet Tayeb vibes! Excellent!
Tout à fait j'adore !
This video does an amazing job at portraying some really complicated concepts, and beautifully so. Gorgeous and wonderful ❤
Pain and misery, it all seems to follow me
Wherever I go, 'ever I go, 'ever I go
I can't change the past but it's always coming back
Wherever I go, 'ever I go, 'ever I go
Ahh-ahh
Ahh-ahh
And now I repeat the things that they did to me
They did to me, they did to me, they did to me
I'm getting older, still look over my shoulder
So I don't repeat, I won't repeat, I won't repeat
I tried to forgive them, I tried to forget
Though they had forgotten, I am sorry I can't
Now I'm both the victim and I am to blame
For all the things that I am
I am
It would do me good to hear them admit the truth
Straight to my face, yeah to my face, yeah to my face
I'm afraid it is too late to ever say I never made
The same mistakes, the same mistakes, the same mistakes
I tried to forgive them, I tried to forget
Though they had forgotten, I am sorry I can't
Now I'm both the victim and I am to blame
For all the things that I am
I am
I am
I am
It goes round and round this ancestry
Weaving our spirits for centuries
And it goes on and on and on...
The wheel's ever turning
It goes round and round this ancestry
Weaving our spirits for centuries
And it goes on and on and on...
The wheel's ever turning

Thank you friend 🙏
This song is so beautiful that I don’t even have words that can describe how I feel listening to it 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Kalandra FTW! New album is fire!
I’m crying! It’s a masterpiece, I have literally no words. Thank you for this song and for this film.
One of the coolest videos and songs I've heard in a long time! Hits you right in the heart.
I can't express how much I love and feel this. This song is so beautiful and raw and the music video had to be so much work and so much effort that was put into this! Simply incredible. This is fuel to every artsy soul 🖤 I cannot wait for the new album to arrive today, thank you so much, Kalandra!
Merci pour ce merveilleux moment d'émotion, votre univers me touche sincèrement.
MERCI à vous.
🌍💫🤍♥️
Wow! This is a masterpiece.
💙💙💙
This is a lesson that keeps coming up for me. It's so important to focus on my own healing. Otherwise the pain and anger I hold onto within only manifests into everything that hurt me in the first place. The cycle just continues forever and multiplies.
💙💙💙
🌀
😢 it’s true!
💚🙏
This band is the closest representation of how my soul feels. How I'd make music if I could. Such a gift x
I got actual chills..this is so beautiful, and a powerful message.
Wow, that is true art. Such an incredible video and song. Deserves so much more credit.
Goosebumps, tears and hope 💜
I keep coming back to this , and the visuals add so much. Amazing work!
Brilliant video and music! 💓💓💓💓
Just wow. This is absolutely incredible.
Wow - what an incredible experience - such an amazingly detailed video from Martyna, incredible lyrics, goosebumping music, beautiful message, and of course wonderfulvoice!
I'm so excited for the live version on KALANDRA's tour soon! ❤🔥
that's amazing, wow
Love this song and video!!!...This reminds me of the shadow work that I'm currently doing so that I stop (or at least greatly reduce) triggers and self-sabotoging behaviors.
From lyrics to music to production to video - this is pure and beautiful art, soothing and painful at the same time. Thank you.
Now this is art and captures raw emotion in story telling - powerful 👌
Acoustic guitars, voices, lyrics, what a vibe, insane, thanks!
The song and the video are both great! I found myself in the character and their story, reconnecting with their inner child and finding a new light. So effective and beautiful, and reminds me of the journey I am making.
I can already say, this sounds really good live.
will go to see them tonight @Oosterpoort Groningen
Just building the anticipation lol! What was the setlist like??❤
@@E._.m._.i._.l._.y-237 I don't want to spoil it too much :). I can say they play half the new album.
Saw them in Nijmegen last night.they were fantastic,.setlist was the same as in Groningen. And yes this sounds great live
Haven't seen a music video like this since Keane - Bedshaped. What a hauntingly beautiful tone this song sets. New fan!
this is……the most breathtaking music video i have ever seen. wow.
I can't really put it into words, so I will just say: "Bravo".
Thank you for all of the hard work from everyone involved. The world is a better place for having your talents shine within it.
OMG, what a mindblowing masterpiece!
this has to be one of the best music videos i have ever seen! it gives me coraline, spirited away and little nightmares vibes! Love this!!!
Love the stop motion animation 🥰
Hauntingly beautiful 💖
Heard the song itself a few minutes ago on Spotify, the whole album is beautiful, i cant wait to see this animation! ❤
We missed you!!!! Awesome!! Thank you
Gawd I keep coming back to this video. I am enamored with Katrine's voice.
WOW!!! What a symbiose of music and filmmaking
This is literally my life story. I'm the blue girl, self-isolated in this tiny house. The yellow one is my soulmate, coming to say hi, and while I try to stop him to enter my house, he comes in anyway to share a meal and force me out of my loneliness. There are portrays of "demons" on the walls, depicting my loved ones, and they appear like being enemies to me, only symbolizing the guilt I feel for having betrayed them. They make me unable to speak and move - like my guilt, caused by the traumas "they" (my agressors) inflicted on me. Then, yellow one leave the house, not to abandon me, but to force me to confront my inner demons and to free myself. It's why I descend into the darkness - the basement - running from the guilt/traumas, fighting them until I find this tiny baby - the baby I wish I'll have with my yellow one soon. Baby and me are staring at ourselves, both "waking up" and he gives me the strength to break the wall, and escape from the dark lonely house, towards light and freedom. Thanks for that, Kalandra. It's why you're one of my favorite bands ever. Blessed be
Wow 😮
I saw the baby as her inner child that she re-integrated. That's just my interpretation though.
@@michelebri121 I had this exact same idea too! I just went for the more personally close to my life interpretation, aka my hope to have a child with my soulmate buttt... Tbh, the baby could absolutely ALSO represent my poor inner child. Could be both of them!
This baby is his soul, his true inner others buried
@@Xitaychin I'm cool with your own vision, it's what's beautiful with music and art, everyone can interpret it as they feel ;)
Wow...chills all over my body! The lyrics, the visuals and the kind of music that just speaks to your soul, I just love everything about this! Thank you Kalandra for never disappointing!🩵
I felt like this song/video was made for me. Thank you for creating it. It's good as well as sad to know this emotional process is more common than one may think.
Awesome visuals 🎉
I have been listening to your music for a while now, and it is truly special. You capture raw emotions beautifully in the lyrics, music, and video. This feels like a journey through my life, and I’m sure many others can relate as well. Just like in the video, there is light at the end of the road. Hold on to your true self, and you will make it through. Thank you so much for creating this! 💙💚💛❤
Truly a work of art all around. 🙌👏👏👏👏👏👏
Another incredibly powerful song and equally powerful video! Shadow work is hard and painful at times, but the result can be just like the end of this video.
Thank you so much for sharing all that you guys are! ❤
This is incredible work, both the song and the stop motion story - and how they work together. ✌✌
This clip is a masterpiece, as much as the song. I'm honnestly impressed ! Great job !!
This hits deep, hard to hold the tears.
The video captures perfectly the lyrics.
Amazing.
Wow - that was deep! Thanks for that emotinal Masterpiece!
Great song and I think that I got the lyrics on the first listen. For me that is remarkable! Nice to see that you guys are still coming up with fresh and interesting songs!
Amazing
Truly amazing Voice :) God Bless Kalandra!
Great song and big job for Martyna Koleniec
🇵🇱✌️🙃
Ah Kalandra this is an incredible work. Love the animation very much!!!
It sounds too personal, yet archetypically, deep into the things we can't fully get. This video made me so emotional, but it is so healing at the same time. Thank you a lot.
This is the most beautiful song i have ever heard 😍💖
Merci beaucoup de nous permettre d'écouter cette merveilleuse musique aussi émouvante de part sa mélodie, que son visuel symbolique. La reconnexion à soit est la clé pour entrevoir un nouveau monde. Tout commence par l'intérieur
Oh wow, the quality of this track and this video blew me away. You've found a new fan.
Great video & great song.
Kudos to the whole band.
The only way to bring out any kind of situations you might have found yourself in, is to talk. And talk through this song has a healing effect.
One also has been mindful of the fact that children do not talk but they see and they remember. It remains to get seen how they turn this out, positive or bad? My hope is that we all focus on positive as that is only way to heal yourself.
As a deaf child I was bullied a lot and had a lot of difficulties at school. But I decided that just because of that I would not become like those bullies. So, thank you band for telling us this story.❤
Amazing video! Thank you ✊🏾
this needs more recognition!!!! for how great the animation and the song are
What an amazing Artwork !! It made me extremely emotional, and that’s a very good sign !
So beautiful, masterful and profound!!
I love how he finds his way back to the light and accepts himself. His house is no longer falling apart and he even got new colours :) very cool! Great details. I also loved how his reflection in the mirror was distorted as he looked at himself; just like our own self views are often distorted when we have unhealed trauma.
Wow, the song, the voice and the video are incredible
Seeing Stop-Go is a joy. It’s a true labour of love and the antithesis of the modern instant gratification society. The song is also beautiful. Congratulations to all ❤
Fantastic music, video. Combined it is exceedingly wonderful, the best there is.
I just can't stop listening
same
Instant crush 😍for this track (both music 🎶& film) ! Deep, moving, beautifully sung and arranged, full of richness, meaning, emotions and colourful contrasts, WOW. Pure Kalandra ! 🤪💝💥
Як завжди чудово!! Я в захваті від ваших пісень 🥰😊
Wow. What a masterpiece! The music, the lyrics and the brilliant video.
I've been there. Still am, sometimes.
Guess we all have. We're not alone.
This is for all of us who live still trapped in those vestiges, even if those who created them don’t even remember.
Damnnn. Its like Aurora meets prog rock, brilliant 😍
Please please please I wish everyone would stop comparing every Scandinavian band or singer to Aurora. Katrine is an amazingly talented young lady in her own right, and the boys in the band also, they shouldn’t be compared with someone else.
@@DJQUAZER i think its natural to compare music with the things you already listen to. I’m from México so no familiar to Scandinavian music outside the mainsteam. I ment it as a compliment, this guys will hit the mainstream they are really great
So grateful i stumbled across your music.... its a comfort to know that the muses must still walk the earth
on repeat since (i've discovered this band) yesterday :) goosebumps
God this video goes hard 🔥
Everything about is awesome
Stopmotion, art direction, singing, instrumentals, everything.
Well done!
I came for the stop motion and stayed for the music. Wonderful work! 🤟
Thank You So Much ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The song is magic.... but the video is simply the best video in 2024 !
This really hits me.. such a beautiful song 💚
2:40 to the audio engineers - i love how the crash cymbal pushed the whole mix up in dynamics - that was one of the coolest things ive heard in a while. cheers! 🥂
(and it makes sense to use the crash cymbal like this - i don't know why more people arent implementing this into modern mixes).
Borders moved me incredibly. And now, after a couple of years of having found my twin flame, you have given birth to this gem of a song, which reflects my twin flame process and my healing of all my shadows and childhood traumas thanks to my twin flame. I cried a lot of emotion when I saw the video clip. We even watched it with my psychologist, and he told me that this song can help heal many, many people. Thank you eternally Kalandra!!!
I’m going to show my therapist this now as well
Wonderful work from each of you! I can't wait for the new album!
Great as always. Really excited to hear the full album
Great song, and what a wonderful video!
This is GOLD already 💖💖💖 love You KALANDRA
