    He looks genuinely devastated as he sings and it's amazing.

    Neil has this great way of singing and telling a story. Do keep getting him to perform like this. You guys really have the potential to write a legendary musical.

      nope, strongly nope. I'm happy in real love with a man. unlike them I don't need to have sex with others or date other men.

      Hahaha that's exactly what I was thinking about while watching the video! New relationship goal set!

    • @silog21
      @silog21 7 ปีที่แล้ว +19

      I'm just saying they're very peculiar, and they both understand their own idea of love and how they live it, so just by seeing how synched and respectful of each other they are, they are an example on how love should be. Which doesn't mean we all should live love like they do.

  • @NikkisorousRex
    @NikkisorousRex 11 ปีที่แล้ว +25

    I just said to myself "Neil's singing is as if angels are dying and this is their final song." Good god I didn't think I could love that man any more than I already do but then I find this and I have found a whole new level of love for him.

  • @ThePompousPeasant
    @ThePompousPeasant 10 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    I love watching brilliance. So thankful for Neil sharing that he & Amanda were dating long ago, never knew who Amanda Palmer was. I have learned much from them with a better understanding of empathy at the top of the list.

    Such a fan of these two. Does anyone else think Neil sounds like the late Alan Rickman?

    The consistency of their facial expressions. And Amanda wears a fucking tiara! They really are adorable, aren't they?

  • @MarkasTZM
    @MarkasTZM 10 ปีที่แล้ว +198

    Amanda is one of the least pretentious, most real and engaged performers I have ever seen live. You mistake her "performance" for pretense. This is art at it's best.

    My entire body just become covered in goosebumps when Neil began singing. HOLY SHIT. I'm more used to reading his work, but this was more than a pleasant surprise for me. :]

  • @RodrigooMateus
    @RodrigooMateus 11 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    his acting and his singing are both perfect and adorable. and I'm dead. Idk, they're as perfect and as badasses as Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter together.

    So I didn’t know until about a week ago that Neil Gaiman (the genius behind Good Omens which is my favourite novel) and Amanda Palmer (the genius behind both Evelyn Evelyn and Who Killed Amanda Palmer, both of those are my favourite albums) were married. And when I found put that they were married I was like 🤯. And now they’re my otp.

  • @brianartillery
    @brianartillery 11 ปีที่แล้ว +23

    An odd couple, to be sure. But they look, and sound just right. It's great, and just a tad creepy. It made me think [after a few listens] as if the sinister couple from the painting 'American Gothic' had decided to record a song together. Smart, and interesting. ; )

    • @Juliemorgana

    Lyrics Continuted: I'm having crazy dreams again Mama let me tell you 'bout last night. I woke up in Johnny's room Mama standing right there by his bed with my hands around his throat Mama wishing both of us were dead. YTIPDYM? I just killed Johnny's pup. YTIPDYM? You better let them lock me up. And that little girl next door Mama I believe her name was Betty Clark. Oh don't tell me that she's dead Mama I just saw her in the park.

    (C)Can Mary fry some fish, mama
    (Am)I'm as hungry as can be
    (C)Oh lord, how I wish, mama
    (Am)You could stop the baby cryin'
    (G)'Cause my head is killing me(C)
    And on and on for the verses
    For the chorus:
    You think I'm psycho don't you (F)mama
    (G)I didn't mean to break your (C)cup
    You think I'm psycho don't you(F) mama
    (G)You better let 'em lock me up(C)
    I hope I was able to help a bit! I'm not really sure, I just guessed from her hand gestures and when I play it,it sounds almost identical

    Amanda attended a celebration for a woman who wrote a book about her journey -out- of Scientology that was highly critical of the organization. She was there too support her friend, something that a real Scientologist would -never- do in a thousand years. If she even dreamed about doing that, the "Church" would declare her a Suppressive Person and no one in it would ever talk too her again.
