Awww you cute! The costumer is an expert, and that era happens to be her favorite. Because of her, I know that actually wearing red would have been totally improper- royalty wore pastels to show off their wealth. But we needed the RED, bc ... you know ... ❤
Okay but I just read about how the lady's maids of Anne Boleyn (another beheaded queen) carried her decapitated body because they were afraid to have any man touch her, in fear of what they'd do to her. ...really puts the "don't you worry honey 'cause I can't say no" line being sung by a decapitated head in a new and horrifying light
gibran trejo I’m (I guess) proud to say that wasn’t a digital effect- 100% real fake blood squirting into my eyes, and I had to act as naturally lifeless and unaffected as possible. It hurt like hell. 🤣
@@elizarickmanmusic Well, maybe just a little, but it was surprisingly beautiful at the same time. Though maybe that says more about me than anything haha. Please keep making what you enjoy making!!
I feel mean for saying this, but this song was the first "weather" that I didn't skip - the weather songs are always hit and miss but then this masterpiece came along.
So happy to finally see this music video come out after immediately loving it on WTNV all those years ago. What an amazing job you've done Eliza. You and your team did great work. Can't wait to show this to my friends!!!!
I guess the downside to having nearly 8 billion people is that there are a load of musicians out there too. Too many choices means gems like this fall through the cracks.
im listening to night vale for the first time, a decade late to the party, and im keeping a journal of my reactions and occasionally note my favorite weathers. Im also playing catch up listening to good morning night vale on the eps, and just got to the one where they interview eliza rickman and i decided to revisit this song and it turns out, i specifically noted when i listened to the original ep that i liked the weather :) gonna be making a playlist of all the ones i noted, starting with this also the headless effects are so trippy i have no idea how that works amazing job on this music video
My jaw is still on the floor at this entire composition. Cinematically, lyrically, melodically... what a masterpiece. This made me feel so intensely. Just... wow
I sing this song absentmindedly sometimes and decided to show my wife... Id never seen this video and now she thinks I'm crazier than she originally assumed. And she asked me to stop singing it right before bed. Love it!
Hook, line, and sinker Drop it down to the bottom Butterfly float, flicker, soar to the top Kill for the thrill Cut it, stick it where you got him Circle rolling under, running red to the stop Where's your mother? Fall down dead Dirty mind, dirty mouth, pretty little head I wish you were here, I wish you'd make my bed Dirty mind, dirty mouth, pretty little head Sister, bring it hither, push it down below Catch yourself a looker, let him go, go, go Wanna have your baby but I'm so, so slow Well, don't you worry honey, cause I can't say no Where's your mother? Fall down dead Dirty mind, dirty mouth, pretty little head I wish you were here, I wish you'd make my bed Dirty mind, dirty mouth, pretty little head Take a breath, my heart, and hold your tongue It's just a cog in the year of all my love Take a breath, my heart, and hold your tongue It's just a cog in the year of all my love Of all my love All my love All my love All my love All my love All my love All my love Where's your mother? Fall down dead Dirty mind, dirty mouth, pretty little head I wish you were here, I wish you'd make my bed Dirty mind, dirty mouth, pretty little head Where's your mother? Fall down dead Dirty mind, dirty mouth, pretty little head I wish you were here, I wish you'd make my bed Dirty mind, dirty mouth, pretty little head
I remember when i first herd this on Welcome To Night Vale. Later, I got to see her perform for the "All Hail" tour, and got a poster signed by her, as well as her album with this song. Ive been waiting so long for this video! I love it!
It's not every day that, as an adult, a music video can f*ck me up the way they did back when I was a kid. Thank you, Eliza. This has been a wonderful experience.
Have been listening to this sense early middle school, this and cinnamon bone and so many other of your songs have helped me immensely in finding myself throughout the years ^_^
This is so beautiful and poetic (I still absolutely adore this song so much) and the visuals add a more haunting and morbid undertone. It's melancholic and memorable in so many ways.
This is perfect, Eliza. My boyfriend says it's more shocking than when the Skinny Puppy Spasmolytic video came out because of the contrast in sound and visuals but it's exactly what i would expect from you at your very best showcased by other brilliant artists. Wow!
alexaloga Well, the new interpretation is simple, it's based on the video: It's about the body losing its head, in a very literal way. My old interpretation might be more interesting? I was always thinking of a child that lost its mother, either in a literal way (the mother died) or a metaphorical one (the mother doesn't care), the pretty little head is the child, of course. For me, it fitted. Imagine a little child, lying in its bed, but no one comes to wish it a good night and tug it in its blanket? It is motherless either way, and I like this interpretation still more than the one given, funnily I never saw it in this literal way of the body losing its head. That was my old interpretation, I hope you like it! 🌸
It's interesting always seeing how people interpret songs. What i found interesting was the use of phrases and words that people would (and probably still) use to describe someone as basically a fool. The phrase "don't worry your pretty little head" I'm sure many of us have heard before. Usually in a negative way, but the recipient is often portrayed as not noticing it and being a "fool" to the insult. "Hook, line and sinker" is also a phrase used for similar meaning. Might have heard it in more late 1900s movies, where they basically pulled a "fast one" over someone else. Took the bait and the caster got what they wanted. Calling essentially the "catch" the "fool" for falling for an obvious trap. And the more literal lyrics "I'm so, so slow". And then the more morbid parts mixed in with someone constantly being called a fool and outcasted. It reminds me of a disregarded child. The unwanted one. Extremely lonely and unloved, violent tendencies because of it. Used by her siser and her sisters lover because they "can't say no". Whether that be because of nonverbal complications or the desire for just any human interaction and attention. Or maybe it could be a more positive interpretation and that her sisters lover actually does like the singer, but their love is "wrong", which could explain the lyrics "Wanna have your baby, but I'm so, so slow" as a whole. Heck, maybe the singer in this story is special needs. Often a neglected portion of society, especially in the era this song's visual is depicted in. Or just mentally ill to some capacity. Not unheard of just being murdered because of their existence as a "stain" to the family. I like the seeming metaphor with the head though because there's a phrase that's says "you'd lose your head if it wasn't attached to your body". Often meaning as an insult for being dumb, forgetful, aloof and/or even being very mentally ill (kind of like "have you lost your marbles?" type way). And when the head is gone, they really did lose it. Figuratively and literally.
I keep coming back to songs that once made me cry and currently have not such power over me, and while this is not necessarily one I remember vividly as being such a song, it is one that makes me remember the impermanence of time and feelings. it once made me weak and now it makes me feel strong. being your own goal defeats everything
That was so beautiful oh my god. That ending gave me chills it was wonderful. I’ve followed u since that episode came out, I’m so proud of you for making this. It is so lovely!!
Wowza. I LOVE that room near the end! I also love the shot of the head facing away with the tile and the white walls, with some blood already on the tiles. Overall crazy music video, I enjoyed it a lot. Also, great song, of course. - Greetings From Night Vale
This video was definitely worth waiting for. When I heard that this music video was on the agenda, I was excited. After the long wait, I am definitely pleased to see that it has been an absolute success and looks perfect.

Gorgeous weather we're having today

ok i am a complete nerd for historical dress and the fact that she is wearing proper stays and a chemise at the beginning makes me so happy!
Awww you cute! The costumer is an expert, and that era happens to be her favorite. Because of her, I know that actually wearing red would have been totally improper- royalty wore pastels to show off their wealth. But we needed the RED, bc ... you know ... ❤
@@elizarickmanmusic I'm picturing @Karolina Żebrowska getting all worked up now lol
Okay but I just read about how the lady's maids of Anne Boleyn (another beheaded queen) carried her decapitated body because they were afraid to have any man touch her, in fear of what they'd do to her. ...really puts the "don't you worry honey 'cause I can't say no" line being sung by a decapitated head in a new and horrifying light
I just noticed how when she is spinning her eyes have blood in them too, now that's attention to detail.

@@elizarickmanmusic full of talent with or without head attached, that's nice
@@elizarickmanmusic Wow, I assumed that must be faked digitally because it would hurt so much. Kinda impressive tbh
My God, Ive loved this song ever since WTNV and I literally just found this official version
Oh, thanks so much! I hope it didn't traumatize you too much.
@@elizarickmanmusic Well, maybe just a little, but it was surprisingly beautiful at the same time. Though maybe that says more about me than anything haha. Please keep making what you enjoy making!!

2024 still appreciated and not forgotten art.
This was the coolest, prettiest, and creepiest thing I’ve seen all day.
So happy to finally see this music video come out after immediately loving it on WTNV all those years ago. What an amazing job you've done Eliza. You and your team did great work. Can't wait to show this to my friends!!!!
Zara Marsh Agreed.
Scrolled down through the comments just to check if people who , like me , have found this awesome artist through WTNW and here ya go!
Lover of WTNV here!!! I hear it when I’m doing work or exercise, it’s the best!!
Still proud to have been part of the crowdfunding for this masterpiece. It'll always be an amazing piece of work.
I don't understand how something this beautiful doesn't have 3m more views. I honestly don't.
A woman getting her head chopped off is beautiful to u😂😂

Hook, line, and sinker
Drop it down to the bottom
Butterfly float, flicker, soar to the top
Kill for the thrill
Cut it, stick it where you got him
Circle rolling under, running red to the stop
Where's your mother?
Fall down dead
Dirty mind, dirty mouth, pretty little head
I wish you were here, I wish you'd make my bed
Dirty mind, dirty mouth, pretty little head
Sister, bring it hither, push it down below
Catch yourself a looker, let him go, go, go
Wanna have your baby but I'm so, so slow
Well, don't you worry honey, cause I can't say no
Where's your mother?
Fall down dead
Dirty mind, dirty mouth, pretty little head
I wish you were here, I wish you'd make my bed
Dirty mind, dirty mouth, pretty little head
Take a breath, my heart, and hold your tongue
It's just a cog in the year of all my love
Take a breath, my heart, and hold your tongue
It's just a cog in the year of all my love
Of all my love
All my love
All my love
All my love
All my love

Where's your mother?
Fall down dead
Dirty mind, dirty mouth, pretty little head
I wish you were here, I wish you'd make my bed
Dirty mind, dirty mouth, pretty little head
Where's your mother?
Fall down dead
Dirty mind, dirty mouth, pretty little head
I wish you were here, I wish you'd make my bed
Dirty mind, dirty mouth, pretty little head
Gorgeous and horrifying at the same time. Perfect!
Literally the only time I listened to a Night Vale weather and then immediately searched the song to listen again once the episode wrapped
I just heard this on wtnv and imminently came to TH-cam for it.
Side note all the weather music on wtnv is pretty good
I remember when i first herd this on Welcome To Night Vale. Later, I got to see her perform for the "All Hail" tour, and got a poster signed by her, as well as her album with this song. Ive been waiting so long for this video! I love it!
Bailey Curtis all hail the glow cloud
A story about them was trippy.
@@bbrakel00 All hail the Glow Cloud
listening to wtnv and had to search for this as soon as it was done playing on the podcast so i could save it for later. so good!!
It's not every day that, as an adult, a music video can f*ck me up the way they did back when I was a kid. Thank you, Eliza. This has been a wonderful experience.
Have been listening to this sense early middle school, this and cinnamon bone and so many other of your songs have helped me immensely in finding myself throughout the years ^_^
I learn about this song from the Night Vale podcast, I'm late to the game. I'm thrilled to have more new music to learn and love, as I love Koshekh.
I really like this song. And I don't know why. I just hits for me. Thanks for this song.
Beautiful.
This is so beautiful and poetic (I still absolutely adore this song so much) and the visuals add a more haunting and morbid undertone. It's melancholic and memorable in so many ways.
I remember seeing you live with Night Vale and you were raising money for this! So glad you were able to make it happen!!
This is quite possibly the most metal music video out there.
This song has always felt like it should be in really dramatic big-budget drama show ngl
Oh, I haven't watched this in a bit! :D
Heard this on Nightvale and fell in love
This is perfect, Eliza. My boyfriend says it's more shocking than when the Skinny Puppy Spasmolytic video came out because of the contrast in sound and visuals but it's exactly what i would expect from you at your very best showcased by other brilliant artists. Wow!
Awesome song
My new earworm.
I was already really excited for it, and it's amazing! It also gave me a new interpretation of the song, I really really like it. 😊👏
I'd really like to know what this new interpretation is. Would you share? :)

I'm pretty sure the head represents the child.@@quartise08
@@leonmayne797 Yes, me too, I like that interpretation by far more than the literal head losing one, I'm glad you agree :)
how can this have only 80k listens when I’ve listened to it a million times on my own..?

It finally happened!!!!! This video was so worth the wait and the mild panic that came w all the blood in the end!! I'm so proud
Such a lovely and talented artist.

Watching this makes me feel so sad. Hasn't stopped me from coming back to it 6 times though.
Just realized this is about Marie Antoinette.
That was so beautiful oh my god. That ending gave me chills it was wonderful. I’ve followed u since that episode came out, I’m so proud of you for making this. It is so lovely!!
I saw the Olympic opening and thought of you. I hope you're well.
I love the song
And yes, I live for the music video because I love this kind of aesthetic and I love the story of Marie Antoinette
This was so poetic. So glad I've found this artist!
I can't believe I only now found out this had a music video!!!!!! I love this song so much ^_^
The weather sure is lovely today.
This is incredible. Good music videos are a lost art.
Nightvalle got me here. Great song!
i really love this music video its really gory which is not very common for music videos
This is my faveourite song from Wtnv i was really enjoying the ep but i kept going back to listen to the song again.
This beautiful masterpiece is overlooked by the world.
You were getting ahead of yourself I see, when you made this video. Bloody good!
This song is dope!!!!!
Saw her at the WOW Hall in Eugene today. Her pipes are strong
Probably one of my favorite songs I’ve ever heard
Good gawd! - Thank you Jill Tracy for introducing me to this! I fell in love almost at once. I hope you're selling CDs at the show in SF!
Wowza. I LOVE that room near the end! I also love the shot of the head facing away with the tile and the white walls, with some blood already on the tiles. Overall crazy music video, I enjoyed it a lot. Also, great song, of course.
- Greetings From Night Vale
Waited years for this, not disapointed
Pretty freaking AMAZING! I love your cd!
I’ve loved this song for years. This video did not disappoint!

Edit: the whole video is just gorgeous. I didn't mean to do it a disservice. I'm just obsessed with her dress.
LOVE THIS SONG AND LOVE THIS VIDEO
Wanted to see this song get a video for a long while, and I couldn't be happier with it.
This video was definitely worth waiting for. When I heard that this music video was on the agenda, I was excited. After the long wait, I am definitely pleased to see that it has been an absolute success and looks perfect.
