They had a concert in LA last October. I was there alone and probably 15 years older than everyone else. The next day I found out my Dad died during the time I was at the concert; not good mobile service at the venue.. you'd know if you'd been. The texts came thru after I left. Needless to say I'll always be emotional about their music having been the notes of his rising. Thank you Amber for your art and all you've unknowingly done for me this year.
her songs mean the world to me. i feel so personally attached to everything she sings, it brings tears to my eyes. thank you, amber. thank you for everything you do.
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 you Going where the tide goes Floating like a lilo with you 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 lyricstranslate.com/ja/japanese-house-lilo-lyrics.html
sigh....it will just never get old to listen to this....hands down, best ever live show I have been to. Caught her Seattle show in August, blew my mind.
a couple of hours before leaving to japan in 2019 October . i could not sleep because i was too excited about my trip and i you tubed Japanese house because i was going to homestay in japan for one month and thats how i discovered this song . i clicked on it by accident .. i remember i listened to this song a good 10 times before boarding my flight that morning . this song always reminds me of travelling to Japan from Canada . and i stayed at a Japanese House as well haha
her voice sounds so different from what she looks like, i can’t get used to seeing her voice on live sessions. so good though, japanese house is always haunting and beautiful
I mean... they have layers of effects on her vocals, as well as pitch correct. And this video is rife with vocal takes they went back in and re-recorded. If you don't believe me, watch her mouth and sound comes out even when she's already pulled away from the microphone. No, it isn't the keyboardists harmonies either. It's a great song regardless, but lets not act like this group isn't taking a page out of The 1975 playbook and fixing the shit out of their performance with studio magic.
This song gives me a really similar vibe to listening to Keane music, the melody, lyrics and vocals are so similar I had to double take for a moment. Seriously good stuff
This song, quite literally, changed my life. That is not hyperbole. Lilo made me experience a crisis with an ultimately positive outcome. It's two years down the track, my entire life is different and I can trace the lines all back to the first time I listened to this song. And I'm thankful for it.
Why do lefties do that. I'm a lefty myself and I don't understand why anyone would want to fret with their non-dominent hand (although when I play piano, yeah it's the hard stuff on the right hand), but why?
Dinosaur you realise she’s playing it upside-down and not the way it’s supposed to be played right?? Everybody always frets with their non-dominant hand
The chord changes in this one instantly connected. When relatively simple parts come together like this, to me, it says a lot about the writer(s). Great melody, great job!
literally has to be my favorite band ive found in the last couple years. somehow, just my miracle, i found TJH when my life is really going through changes.
one time I was going to see The Japanese House play at a small venue in New Orleans, but didn’t buy tickets early enough because I was like “there’s no way they’re going to be sold out, there still kind of underground. I’ll buy tickets at the door.” Got to the door: SOLD OUT. I still can’t forgive myself.
if you look closely the strings are still strung up the way it does on a right handed guitar . so shes playing the guitar upside down with the strings up side down as well
@@TheFortKnight What do you mean by "not very original"? are you dumb? Some people are just born left-handed and it's completely normal. There's no original or such thing.
Someone know what is Amber's type of voice? I assume she's Contralto. Funny fact: The First time I discovered Japanese House on Spotify I thought It was a man, when I saw her in Live I thought It was a guy with Kurt Cobain hairstyle 😂😂🌌🎸🎶
I find it funny how this is still a thing (not in the rude sense of the word), I had the same with one of the vocalists of Ultimate Kaos in "Casanova", I really thought it was a woman singing most of it and was weirdly confused to see it was a man when I for the first time saw a clip of the group somewhere (years a go, but still) :P.
Yes. She's contralto and, ad a little comment, we shouldn't assume people's genders by their voice! I get why you did it and it's hard for me as well. But we must put all our efforts into it!
@@patriciasalcedo6150 I understand your sentiment, but I don't see what's wrong with thinking that somebody is a certain gender based on their voice. Of course, you should never be saying anything offensive about it, but making a logical guess based on the knowledge one has shouldn't be frowned upon imo

I recently broke up with the person I loved - I had planned to meet up but that person chose to break up via text messages. It hurts a lot. But...it just shows that some people aren't that worthy to drain your mental energy and life over that person. So this music...connects in a way...

you’re so brave for sharing this, stay strong 💪🏻
@@nataliepham8849 It hasn't gotten easier. Thanks

RIP for your father dear, probably I´m in same ship, I´m 35yo.
So sorry for your loss🖤 such a talent, life changing
you know the feeling in your chest when you hear something?? i think this literally touched my soul
100%
hannuh benana literally what all of the japanese house’s music does for me, my body literally physically reacts every time i listen
amelia cool i am THE EXACT SAME it’s like it digs skin deep it’s amazing
Wow doesnt it hurt?
ella 💖
amber's voice is so unique, mellow, and heartbreaking. watching her sing live feels like it almost can't be real.
the harmonies... the most beautiful thing ive ever seen
heard*
synesthesia too real?
When you LOVE a song originally and then hear a new version and some how love it MORE.
This song suits basically every mood I ever had. I can listen to it probably to the end of my life and never get sick of it.
It's beautiful enough to make a grown man cry, especially if that man is straight outta break up
her songs mean the world to me. i feel so personally attached to everything she sings, it brings tears to my eyes. thank you, amber. thank you for everything you do.
I honestly cried to every song I've heard by her thus far. I am in love with her.
I don't really know why, but this song always makes me feel less anxious
i love amber this just feels like someone giving me a nice long hug after a rough day.
magic in a song ngl.
I felt this exactly.
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 you
Going where the tide goes
Floating like a lilo with you
Going where the tide goes
Floating like a-
Floating like a-
Floating like a-
Floating like a-
You were floating like a lilo

"I'm a patient wave and it's an ready ride" ........ Literally makes me cry EVERYTIME.
I've heard her speak in interviews and I am just baffled like... how does she get her voice to sound so andro?? Its something I've never seen
A beautiful version of my favourite song ever. Wow.
her voice sounds so different from what she looks like, i can’t get used to seeing her voice on live sessions. so good though, japanese house is always haunting and beautiful
This is beautiful. Shes such a good live vocalist ❤

@@kingcobrajfsofficial couldn't have said it any better
@@kingcobrajfsofficial your reply is the most beautiful thing I've ever read
This song gives me a really similar vibe to listening to Keane music, the melody, lyrics and vocals are so similar I had to double take for a moment. Seriously good stuff
This has cured my depression
just realized that amber plays the whole guitar upside down, not just backwards haha. i loveeeeee amberrrr.
wow love this 💜
Yooo
Still waiting till I can bless my ears with a live version of Saw you in a dream!!!! I would cry.😭❤
Thank you Amber.
This is so much better than the album version. Incredible.
Her and Cautious Clay playing their RH guitars upside down without restringing them blows my mind.
What a beautiful left handed guitar
This song, quite literally, changed my life. That is not hyperbole. Lilo made me experience a crisis with an ultimately positive outcome. It's two years down the track, my entire life is different and I can trace the lines all back to the first time I listened to this song. And I'm thankful for it.
i can't stop crying :(
HOW is this even better than the studio version
I love seeing a lefty use a strat upside down. Did it for years. Still doing it. 💕
Why do lefties do that. I'm a lefty myself and I don't understand why anyone would want to fret with their non-dominent hand (although when I play piano, yeah it's the hard stuff on the right hand), but why?
Dinosaur you realise she’s playing it upside-down and not the way it’s supposed to be played right?? Everybody always frets with their non-dominant hand
@@gabrielhiggins9991 I'm left handed. I fret with my dominant hand. I'm curious why other don't. It feels very easy.
Dinosaur If you fret with your left hand that means you are right-handed.
it's like she sprinkled glitter in her songs
Damn this version is so beautiful
Feelin’ this one something fierce today.
The intro plucking feels like uv entered in a holy and magical place.
The chord changes in this one instantly connected. When relatively simple parts come together like this, to me, it says a lot about the writer(s). Great melody, great job!
Please come to Malaysia!
i like that sweater
"i can keep my head, there's nothing in it" i felt that
IM IN TEARS
Definitely gonna check this out later on band camp.
They sound beautiful
So nice listening to this while you're lying on bed inside a Japanese house :-)
I'm in love with these live sessions
big 🥺 energy
Beautiful beautiful song
so beautiful
TJH IS SO AMAZING I CANTT
Delicate and cosmic!
My favorite
Thank you youtube for recommending this
Beautiful..just beautiful.
i listen to this song every night before i go to sleep. it's so calming and the harmonies are so beautiful. thank you for making such a perfect song
I love you so much Amber😩😢
She’s coming to Tampa and I’m probably going to cry at the show 😭
Woow I am blown away!

なんだこれ！
めっちゃ透き通ってて綺麗…
I listen to them every day at work…..just love the sound and harmony…thank you Amber
Legends
my heart
not gonna lie this was the first song that somehow took my breath away literally. I was mesmerized. new fav song
Hold up... Does she play her guitars upside down instead of using lefty guitars?? That's so cool and original.
TheDuffyLONER64 | Cool, yes... but not very original. Check out Hendrix. Takes absolutely nothing away from the music, though!
- Jeff
if you look closely the strings are still strung up the way it does on a right handed guitar . so shes playing the guitar upside down with the strings up side down as well
@@travgpeters1 Yeah, that's what kinda confirmed it to me.

im crying
I lov this version
i just wanna give her a hug. and then float away as she sings
I'm falling in love with this song...

The music is beautiful, obviously. But such amazing production quality too!

Woah! Love when Amber sang higher!
Beautiful harmonies!
