its really interesting to find out that you didnt intend for it to be as deep as it turned out to be, i feel like the journey of making it fits really well with the progression of the song. when i saw it in my feed and clicked on it i did expect it to be something silly but it really dug into a way ive been feeling for a while, wishing i could physically be a certain way without being comprehended a certain way by myself and other people. its a song that means a lot to me and its so cool hearing about the narrative constructed in the visuals. ive never heard about data moshing, that was really cool to learn abt

Thank you so much for recording and sharing this! It was really interesting and enlightening to see how you approached writing the song and making the video.

Brian Warren

Wow

Laura TreeOfKnives

Loved seeing the whole process and a more in-depth analysis! Also I think Enigma has already done "space age gregorian chants", sorry to say.

sam ballard

Quinn Martin

Wow. The 1080p recording was an EXCELLENT artistic choice.

I loved the emergent rhythms from the phasing! Amazing video, and genuinely one of my favorite songs you've made. Definitely gonna try to learn this one on piano and thank you for the behind the scenes

I really enjoyed both the video and the making-of! I know basically nothing about video editing, but it's still really cool seeing all the steps and the little details that go into creating something like this. Love the theme of the song, too! The line "I wish that I could wear hats without looking any way at all" reminds me of how I get uncomfortable when I remember that basically everyone I know has noticed something about my appearance (otherwise they wouldn't recognize me when they see me) - not quite the same topic as this video, but related maybe? I just want to not look any way at all (hats or no hats).

I really loved the new video. It gave me a lot of big feelings that I've been thinking about quite a bit ever since I watched it. So having this making of video to watch afterwards was wonderful. Thank you for making it and sharing it here.

I loved the hat song! And have no complaints about the length of this video. The way I usually consume videos is by listening & half watching while working on hand sewing, so I'm happy to listen to any amount of rambling. Also, my father made Pepcorn yesterday and said it was very good.

This made me realize how much I missed in the video. I honestly only processed like 30% of it the first time I watched it goes so quick

really loved both the video and the BTS - it's fun to see people explain with purpose things they do intentionally that I think I do subconsciously (lyrics) and also things that I have ZERO idea how to do (any video editing ever)! and the video itself REALLY resonated with me, as well. being perceived is... frustrating, to say the least. I hope putting words/video to this helps alleviate some of its weight on you! all in all a very nice thing to get on my birthday so thank you very much :)

I loved this -- my favourite thing is watching these behind the scenes videos about creative projects, because it's always so fascinating to me to see how it all came together and morphed from one stage to the next. I also really resonate with the song's themes, as someone who is both self-conscious about my appearance and of sharing creative projects of my own. Thanks for being willing to spend an hour filming this for us :)

loved the new video!! as someone who thinks about the way other people see them /way/ too much it was nice to hear that was kinda what the video was going for bc that's how i felt about it!! and it was very interesting to hear your process for this video!! although i often find it hard to focus on longer videos, this one kept me invested! :]
