When Aldous dances like Aldous, she is "enigmatic" and "ethereal", but when *I* dance like Aldous I'm "perplexing" and "scaring the customers"

bro she's just straight up vibing

I was trying to remember this song and googled "show the ferret to the egg" thinking that it couldn't possibly be correct. But here I am.

Utterly spellbinding. I've fallen down the Aldous rabbit hole and I think I'll just be staying here a while. Tell my family I love them.

she's like a witch who has spent an inordinate number of lifetimes studying the arcane arts and has forgotten what it's like to be human but woke up in a very good mood today

1:59 when im burning my tortillas and i start vibing to the smoke alarm

I'm so glad she stopped by Earth on her way through the universe.

This song has a bass clarinet in it. There are other great things about it also.

Coincidentally, I dance exactly like this whilst I'm in the supermarket looking at all the peaches

Aldous Harding is the Aphex Twin of folk.

This must be one of the best comment sections I've come across on the entire internet

I have NO idea what is going on here. But I love it.

She learned her dance moves from the Virtua Fighter Player Select screen.

I can't stop watching this help this is my 20th time it's just the way she wiggles

Ok i listened to this Song for a year now. At first I was obsessed with the fact, that the Video is uncanny mystical witch-art, its on the edge of sadness, wisdom, horror and comedy. It offers comedic relief for things there shuldnt be had none. It also offered me a non hardfactual insight into the feelings of (a) woman and I still open myself to let that sink in. But today I decided to write this comment because I realized that this Song is also musically unbelievably groovy and funky. Its just such a joy to dance to it. The groove is unreal, I cant even think of anything that has this soft subtle but brilliant funk to it. So yeah, im unworthy, thank you!

What sorcery is this ❤

"Look at all the peaches" "Show the ferret to the egg" That's my weekend plans sorted then

This video has the aura of an old-timey haunted oil painting that stares at you when you look away

This is pure Dada . The words can have emotional effect whether or not objective meaningis there or not . I love this song and I like her work as I discover more and more !

Showed this video to my 73 yr old mother, her first comment was "this reminds me of what my girlfriends and i were doing in art school during the 60's," and i realized great minds really do think alike

I heard this song on the radio and I thought to myself, "I'll bet this song has a really bizarre video". I am not disappointed.

"Yo, Egg, check out this ferret."

This song always reminds me of my grade 7 math teacher. He was the best teacher I've ever had. He always played this during tests and when we went to a camp with class he played this to wake us all up. Best teacher ever. Going to high-school next year and I'm going to miss him.

I feel like this all took place in a well-lit uterus.

Director: "Do you want the video to be sexy or calming or weird?" Aldous: "Yes!"

Director: "So, we're just gonna have you dance front of these draped sheets." Aldous: "I know exactly what to do"

This is one of the most brilliant songs ever written and I can't believe I just found out about it an hour ago

I have never been so simultaneously confused, endeared and fascinated. Aldous you are brilliant and revered in my everything.

She's like if the Babadook had an Amish punk cousin. I'm in.

It's like an alien entity has finally found a host and is trying to dance like a human. I love her.

God. I can’t stop watching this. I’m horrified and transfixed. It’s grotesque and beautiful. Very special indeed.

One of my favourite pieces of performance art. I don’t know why I love it. It just feels like it was made just for me 🤷‍♂️

This makes me uncomfortable in such a strange way that it comes full-circle and makes me comfortable again.

I'm afraid one day I will open a random door and find myself in this room.

It's incredibly sad yet filled with life and humanity. Life, love, loss... and yet it's all still so evidently beautiful and precious

I swear this song helps cure my anxiety and depression

I bought her album, the vinyl arrived, I havent played brand new vinyl for 40 years? . . .I found my 40 year old 'stereo' in the back of the shed. I played this song. I showed the ferret the egg. He sighed.

Just spent the entire song liking every comment here because they all fit perfectly and they’re all equally the best.

I love her. Can’t get enough of this song.

She's stark raving mad and I love her!

Man I just love the backing vocal on this. Really elevates the second half of the song.

Just watched this for the first time. I am so frightened right now. But I will be back.

She is the proof that we are not alone in the universe

Simultaneously the most loving, and devastating song I've heard.

guys i'm obsessed it's been two weeks of me coming back to this video EVERY DAY

Every day I wake up, put this song on and try to do all the moves.

I've listened to this song a thousand times now (ok, 47 times) and it still gets me, intrigues me. The lyrics, the video, the voice(s), the music: all breathes good art for me. So gentle indeed ;)

She holds the smallest rattles of the world in her hands 🙌 Great peace of music!

This makes me feel like everything is going to be ok

This may be the most hypnotic music video I have ever seen.

Alejandro Jodorowsky's 'The Holy Mountain' comes to mind while watching this video.

this was like realizing were not alone in the universe

"Hey, Jodorowsky, can I borrow your hat?" "Only if you're planning to do something as weird as what I'd do with it." "...Yes."

The scenes where she is just grinning really butter my crumpet.

THIS WOMAN IS INCREDIBLE!!! 😍🤩🥰

I can't stress enough how wonderful the construction of this song is. the lyrics is so intricate and exposing but so secluded at the same time. and the composition and production of the music is so gently done. You can feel a needle fall in-between the space and neatly placed hits of the arrangement.

I'm overwhelmed with all the great comments in this video. Go spread that wisdom and wit on the internet people!

who else is gonna admit to trying some of those moves after viewing a few times ?

I was on a dancefloor last week and a random dude said I danced like aldous harding and it might be the best compliment I've ever received

This is what I look like when I think I'm killing it on the dance floor at Weddings.

So happy to see all the musical witches gaining traction.

3:20 when you come home from work and finally get to be the real you.

"hey guys. i think i found the weirdest and simultaneously alluring thing on the internet today"

I’ve watched this 200 times since last night

I'm so thankful to live on a planet with people as amazing as this.

Director: can you do a bit of creepy and a bit of sexy? Aldous Harding: “Hold my black cat.”

I first heard about this song from someone I've loved like no one else. Years after and with a lot of pain involved, I still can't run away from this song. It doesn't matter when or where I stumble across it, it brings me to the very same place of not knowing what the future might bring. Now I know that it brought a lot of pain. And even though quite a while has passed, I still feel every single bit of this song. Except now I truly know what a transient hunt love is. I don't think I'll ever be able to feel how I felt before. Or maybe I will never be able to stop feeling it, even if only inside my own little egg. "And now I sleep 'side words you do not read with me". We can't run away from how we feel.

Hypnotized by the music, the words that I can occasionally understand, and, the three thousand plus comments, I cannot imagine a day going by without hearing/seeing it again, at least until I understand why

This is what my family reunions are like

Serving high-fashion pilgrim REALNESS.

Aldous is so beautiful and quirky. Just love that I happened upon her music. Her vocals and lyrics are just amazing. Love the beat...Makes me happy.

LYRICS I feel your love I feel time is up When I was a child, I never knew enough What that do to me? The wave of love is a transient hut Water's the shell and we are the nut But I saw a hand arch out of the barrel Look at all the peaches How do you celebrate? Can't appear inside of nowhere It's already dead I know you have the dove I'm not getting wet Looks like a date is set Show the ferret to the egg I'm not gettin' led along I rushed in to hold down your page And now I sleep 'side words you do not read with me I hear a song from inside the maze, the very one you made You shook at the ivory mantle As a poet, I knew to be gentle When you have a child, so begins the braiding And in that braid you stay Look at all the peaches I want to celebrate I can appear inside of nowhere Look at all the peaches It's already dead I know you have the dove I'm not getting wet Looks like a date is set Show the ferret to the egg I'm not getting led along The wave of love is a transient hut Water's the shell and we are the nut But I saw a match struck outside the barrel It's already dead I know you have the dove I'm not getting wet (The barrel) (The barrel) Looks like a date is set Show the ferret to the egg I'm not getting led along (The barrel) (The barrel) It's already dead I know you have the dove I'm not getting wet (The barrel) (The barrel) Looks like a date is set Show the ferret to the egg I'm not getting led along (The barrel) (The barrel)

I'm quaking in my oats

I showed this to a friend and she said, "I feel like I have to burn sage now".

My God the music, the words, the performance... it's mesmerizing.

What a refreshingly original sound . It's quirky, catchy, tuneful and utterly unique. This is the sort of music I have been missing all these years. Bravo to Aldous Harding. Hope to hear lots more from you .

I love how accepting the comments are. Also, her hands are mesmerizing.

totally love this woman. totally. she is so cool. her moves. her face. the way she wears it.

I wasn’t ready for 3:20. What in the heck? I absolutely love this song, though, and have spent the last 2 days listening to her catalog. Brilliant. ❤

I bet Nick Drake didn't expect to get reincarnated as Scarlett Johansson's weird cousin from New Zealand but I'm glad he did

aldous harding would certainly not have survived the salem witch trials

She is so weird I love her.

'as a child so begins the braiding and in that braid you stay'....video is quietly bonkers...brilliant. This song reminds me of 10,000 maniacs' 'what I am' for some rrason. Love it

This song just makes my soul happy. I can see by the comments it does for you guys too. Except none of us understand why 😆

That hat is clearly for smuggling fire extinguishers!

Debbie Harry brought me here. she mentioned this song as one of her recent favorite songs in an interview with virgin radio. even more thankful for her existence right now.

I absolutely adore her. 🥰💞and for me, her hat is giving off 'Doug Dimmadome' vibes.😆 I love 'sharing' her with my loves, but regret it with a certain 'brute' that isn't a sensitive soul, or 'gets it' and just laughs at your unique mind. I've been a fan of hers since the song 'STOP YOUR TEARS'' in 2015. Note to self: Never share your special music with trolls and scoundrels.🤣

What a wonderful song - and I love the video... Harding's voice is heavenly.

Our toddler is a big Aldous fan. We listen to her music regularly during relaxing times. Sometimes after a 15 minute Baby Signs session, we’ll play her a music video as an outro. Put this on and she was in utter rapture until the blue mask part. Never seen her sign “all done” so rapidly or definitively. The thing is, the very next day, when we did Baby Signs, I put on one of her other favorite music videos, and she rejected it, then another, until I put this one on. She watched it until the “big hat on face” moment, then calmly signed “all done”. Turned the TV off and she was happy. My 15-month-old baby is obsessed.

One listen and you are hooked for life , I learned all of my moves from this. Practicing for prom

As a musician that has put my art before my success I’m not easily impressed but this so refreshing, creative and unapologetic.

Love her and her lyrics . What an enigma .

3:20 when my sleep paralysis demon is feeling herself

"Look at all the peaches". A lyric so brilliant it should have its own fanbase just by itself.

I absolutely love the moves and the dancing... awesome styling 😎! Her personality shines through

I found this song with my husband on acid. The end scared us. But now we love it.

you can't just watch this video once and get on with your life

first listen: "oh this is upbeat". Harding: "It's already dead," Ok, there we go haha.

absolutely ethereal and nourishing in sound with giggly and fun visuals ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Happiness is finding an artist in my own time, this is gold, this is a treasure to keep 🌟
