I Google you Late at night when I don't know what to do I find photos you've forgotten you were in Put up by your friends I do, I Google you When the day is done and everything is through I read your journal that you kept that month in France I've watched you dance And I'm pleased your name is practically unique It's only you and a would-be PhD from Chesapeake Who writes papers on the structure of the sun I've read each one I know that I should let you fade But there's that box and there's your name Somehow it never makes the pain grow less or fade or disappear I think that I should save my soul and I should crawl back in my hole But it's too easy just to fold and type your name again, I fear I Google you When I'm all alone and don't know what to do And each shred of information that I gather Says you've found somebody new And it really shouldn’t matter Ought to blow up my computer But instead... I Google you
It is immensely sad to see that, after watching someone so talented passionately share that talent with the world, people are moved to comment mostly about the how the artist pencilled in her eyebrows. Human beings do not deserve this thing called art.
I've been waiting for years for one of the people I stalk to ask me how I found out about that thing they posted so I can burst out into song. This song.
One of my dreams is to be their neighbor, go ask for sugar and stuff. Play scrabble together, maybe pictionary. I'll always lose but I'll be glad about it.
@MsHypatia1 When you are younger, this is certainly true. Dating someone 25 years older than you when you are 18 is not usually advisable, due mostly to the naivete of the 18 year old. However, as you grow and learn and mature, age differences begin to matter less and less at a rather rapid pace. The typical formula used to determine the youngest a person can date without it being creepy is age divided by 2 plus 7--so in this case, 50 divided by 2 is 25, plus seven is 32.
I saw this in the related videos box and shouted "WHAT?" so loudly. I thought my interests in Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer were freakishly distant. Man, am I out of the loop.
I’m relieved somebody finally said it. I’m a fan of the Dresden Dolls and think Amanda is obviously talented, but when I’ve brought up her weak vocals to other fans they simply cannot accept.
@TheQueenOfMediocrity Yes, all about love and the ever contracting gender spectrum of engagement. Smells like 'mean' spirit? Of course. One should never make the personal general. Thanks for your comment and the fact that my head, though bowed, is unbruised :)
@meowmeowkazoo YES. Same here. It makes me happy to see that someone else agrees. I guess it doesn't help that my name is Evelyn and I love Elephants and I've kept a dream diary since I was 5. lol
@meowmeowkazoo You know that they are doing a west coast tour together, right? I hope you can make it out to one of the shows. Every event will be recorded. Keep an eye out for the CDs and DVDs.
I just Googled some guy I've been crushing on for the past three months. Come to find out, he's part of an international money laundering scheme and probably will eventually be under investigation by the FBI. Guess I won't go there, then. Thank God for Google. : )
@bacchante1 wtf are you talking about. its a win win situation either way. i dont know if you noticed, but in the last 5 years or so, COUGAR/MILF is now "in" and accepted. welcome to 2005.
My favorite singer and my favorite author. I cannot believe this exists. I want to kidnap them and force them to live together in a gigantic transparent bubble so that I can always watch them and love them and keep them forever. MINE!
@frajilhart I wondered about that so I investigated (i.e googled) Portia's bisexuality and found this: "A lot of models call themselves bisexual, so I just hid behind that title for a very long time", Portia de Rossi.
@tsyrlb Hey, it was YOUR catchphrase I went with, so if you want a better one, come up with it. :-p I know some people in older/younger, too, and not only do they get looks, sometimes there's flak. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt as far as this -- maybe it depends on where you live.
@koriina Unfortunately, that formula breaks down along gender lines. A 38-year old woman dating a 21-year old college guy is 'desperate' or some creepy 'Mrs. Robinson', whereas a 38-year old man dating a 21-year old girl makes him 'studly' and admired. It shouldn't be this way -- at all -- but sadly, it is. :-/
@35xSeries I personally think it's absurd to really care much about the fellah's personal life...and I bet he might feel the same way. Who cares about the details of his relationship status? His literature is what is significant....everyone go read a book!
I love how he looks at her.
This feels so much sadder now than it did then
Now it just feels disgusting.
@umjammerlammy9993 yeah dude
oh my god the way he looks at her like she's the greatest thing in the world (which she is) UGH I JUST LOVE THEM.
The fact that these two are together is just... It's like the world should implode with awesomeness any second now. :D
Do you still feel this way?
I Google you
Late at night when I don't know what to do
I find photos you've forgotten you were in
Put up by your friends
I do, I Google you
When the day is done and everything is through
I read your journal that you kept that month in France
I've watched you dance
And I'm pleased your name is practically unique
It's only you and a would-be PhD from Chesapeake
Who writes papers on the structure of the sun
I've read each one
I know that I should let you fade
But there's that box and there's your name
Somehow it never makes the pain grow less or fade or disappear
I think that I should save my soul and I should crawl back in my hole
But it's too easy just to fold and type your name again, I fear
I Google you
When I'm all alone and don't know what to do
And each shred of information that I gather
Says you've found somebody new
And it really shouldn’t matter
Ought to blow up my computer
But instead...
I Google you
i am fans of both and was totaly mind blown when i heard.
I love the way he looks at her. Adorable.
And this is a legit torch song! Such genius.
Her eyebrows make my world go around.
And this combination, these two brilliant people just about make my world explode.
Happiness is this song.
I used to think this was a funny song but now it's my life.
Me too. It's fucking tragic. Straight to the heart.
Indeed
Well in that case, what's your name online so we can google you?
This is such an amazingly powerful yet understated song. As well as a great collaboration between two great artists.
Amanda your chords and melody made me cry too, its gorgeous. xo
She is so beautiful. I adore the facial expressions she pulls when she sings.
Damn Neil anything you write makes. me. cry. everytime. Amanda you are beautiful. A Peas and carrots you both are.
I came here after i watched jinxs monsoons' version. 😉
Wait jinkx monsoon has a version?? Thanks time to go look that up!!
HAHA ! Me too. I've been in a jinx TH-cam vibe today I love her
Oh, it's so beautiful and adorable and true and neil and amanda and oh my god.
I am sooo happy for the two of them! They make a wonderful couple!
Their both Badassness Personified!! after hearing this song and seeing them together my coolness meter just came....
Just spent Valentines alone. This song then appears in my "Recomended For You". Too damn accurate, TH-cam, too damn accurate LOL
neil is amazing and so are the dresden dolls
I dare anyone to find a better suited couple than these two. They make me so happy. =)
Seeing the way Neil looks at Amanda makes me squeal every time.
Neil Gaiman, back for more tears!
i love this song with a passion
Agreed, that guys mind is amazing.
Monsters. Absolute monsters, the both of them. And nobody said or did a thing.
Ah, Neil and Amanda.
I love that they are in love.
It makes the world a better place.
love the setting as well!
Congrats, Amanda and Neil!

neil gaiman freakin rocks!
neil gaiman is the very definition of "awesome".
These two!!!
Great song!
Congratulations Amanda and Neil.
One of my dreams is to be their neighbor, go ask for sugar and stuff. Play scrabble together, maybe pictionary. I'll always lose but I'll be glad about it.
I can only hope they will collaborate more in the future.
This song hit home for me. I figured people might, but I wasn't entirely sure I wasn't the only one who did that.
Neil and Amanda: Officially the greatest celebrity couple ever. They are just fucking adorable.
god damn i LOVE Amanda
Two deliciously dark and brilliant people get together.
Proof that true love exists. The best fucking proof ever.
I feel ya. :/ Still go through it every once in a while.
@Mironario I am so happy that I am not the only one who observed how Neil Gaiman is starting to look like Morpheus.
Perfect first date song...

goddam i love it
Amanda is only a fair singer, though she has great spirit. I’d love to hear this song sung by a female who is a great singer.
I’m relieved somebody finally said it. I’m a fan of the Dresden Dolls and think Amanda is obviously talented, but when I’ve brought up her weak vocals to other fans they simply cannot accept.
@TheQueenOfMediocrity Yes, all about love and the ever contracting gender spectrum of engagement. Smells like 'mean' spirit? Of course. One should never make the personal general. Thanks for your comment and the fact that my head, though bowed, is unbruised :)
"It’s a song I wrote, about what people do late at night after a bad break-up…" - Neil Gaiman
@meowmeowkazoo YES. Same here. It makes me happy to see that someone else agrees. I guess it doesn't help that my name is Evelyn and I love Elephants and I've kept a dream diary since I was 5. lol
@meowmeowkazoo You know that they are doing a west coast tour together, right? I hope you can make it out to one of the shows. Every event will be recorded. Keep an eye out for the CDs and DVDs.
This song is so funny and so very very sad at the same time
Reminds me of a great pic on Google I found, of Amanda and Death (from Sandman), singing about Death while Neil watches on lol.
@ciaranrr I knew that Neil Gaiman had gotten married to a woman he calls "Mandy" but I had NO IDEA it was *this* Mandy.
I just Googled some guy I've been crushing on for the past three months. Come to find out, he's part of an international money laundering scheme and probably will eventually be under investigation by the FBI. Guess I won't go there, then. Thank God for Google. : )
@bacchante1
wtf are you talking about.
its a win win situation either way. i dont know if you noticed, but in the last 5 years or so, COUGAR/MILF is now "in" and accepted.
welcome to 2005.
I like Amanda singing this song better then Neil. I mean Neil is a good singer but just fits Amanda better.
Because Amanda is actually a singer lol
@@kurbaga6041 Neil 's also a muscua
Now this is what Neil meant when he said 'make good art'.
Can I have both of them please? Like right now?
her eyesbrows are melting off.
Engaged! :)
Oops, I meant Pink Floyd meets blues. Or is it John Pink Floyd in those chords?
@meowmeowkazoo They are married, so I'm pretty sure they already live together.
lyrics?..
Does anyone have the lyrics?
My favorite singer and my favorite author. I cannot believe this exists. I want to kidnap them and force them to live together in a gigantic transparent bubble so that I can always watch them and love them and keep them forever. MINE!
I see it's a Kurzweil and not a Kurt Weil in this piece. I love her chords, John Lennon meets blues.
Amanda should be mine, MINE! No other man may have her. 'Cept Viggie.
@meowmeowkazoo Well they do live together. So all that we need to do is get them into a gigantic transparent bubble.
@frajilhart I wondered about that so I investigated (i.e googled) Portia's bisexuality and found this: "A lot of models call themselves bisexual, so I just hid behind that title for a very long time", Portia de Rossi.
lyrics: letras.mus.br/amanda-palmer/1379586/
I did all that :(
The do make a talented couple.
@drewbowden BOSTONIAN GODS EVEN. 8D yessss.
looks like 3 people hit the dislike button cause they've never been in love :)
Also, this is just embarrassingly relatable. :-/
@tsyrlb Hey, it was YOUR catchphrase I went with, so if you want a better one, come up with it. :-p I know some people in older/younger, too, and not only do they get looks, sometimes there's flak. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt as far as this -- maybe it depends on where you live.
They *are* married.
@breedak You can be a bisexual woman and still marry a man and the word can still be meaningful. After all, it's all about love.
@UnanimousCowherd no they're not
Is she channelling Rufus Wainwright?
@cherrybombchick666 He has an ex-wife and kids. And how he's married to Amanda.
@meowmeowkazoo If Amanda thought it'd be funny she could probably convince Neil to do just that.
antony hegarty and her must make a record together
they are in an open relationship...amanda talked about it to the press in an interview.
10 people don't know how to google someone.
these guys are the next ben folds and nick hornby.
meowmeowkazoo, they are married, so I don't think you'd have to "force them to live together". Keeping them in a bubble might be a problem...
Isn't it though?
Wow, I can't believe my comment has been so uprated. You guys are creepers. And yes, I know they are married. :P

@steelstrings87 No, it sucks. It means Neil is off the market...for now. :-p
I wonder if they need a cook, a driver, a butler, a toilet cleaner. Because i would kill for that job.
@dhardtofind eyebrows? what eyebrows?xD
@meowmeowkazoo well... they ARE married...... so getting them together for the kidnapping shouldn't be that hard.
@35xSeries I personally think it's absurd to really care much about the fellah's personal life...and I bet he might feel the same way. Who cares about the details of his relationship status? His literature is what is significant....everyone go read a book!
I google the Cat in the Hat >
@DamnedMissDisaster they're engaged :D
your right,she's doing a rufus wainwright knockoff.but what the fart,at least she's trying.
