Aldous Harding - Stop Your Tears Lyrics

No one mentioning Nick Cave? I think it's an absolute reference to Aldous. A poet, a songwriter and interpreter.

this music video speaks to me on that single weird person level.

I picture googled enigma and got Aldous Harding.

Live lasts only a short time!!

Ich werde Dich wohl nie kennen lernen dürfen😢... Aber ich werde immer mit Dir in Verbindung bleiben ... Über Deine Musik- und darüber das wir, als Grünäugige nur 2% in der Welt ausmachen!!! Danke Dir für alles!!!!😘

Man,that is just beautiful ! Only heard about her through a write up in today's 'Observer'' and have been seeking out her stuff all day !

What a talented Artist.

J aime le clip ,aussi .femme 38

I really hate her music videos. Why the weirdness? Her music is great but her videos are not art they're just crap.

Once you've been pulled in, you're in her magical tunnel. It's impossible to tell whether this is a cleverly designed world you've entered or a pure random source of nature that she manages to express. Wonderful.

She's as deep as one can swim. ❤

I think she has some Irish in her

How is it possible that I have fallen in love with someone I've never met?

This symbolism is easy sugar, fodder. So sad that people are glued to it and have no understanding; how to escape.

Ode to Beth Gibbons "Mysteries" in the intro?

nice feet

I think fanny farts sound way better...

I 100% totally agree,

She is very unique and original, a very rare talent compared to the talentless plastic manufactured so called artists of today.

She can sing, play guitar and certainly perform with so much passion and feeling.

Wonderful..👍

I've been trying to fix lunch for the last hour and every time the next AH song comes on I just *have* to watch it all the way though - too many more of these songs and I'm going to starve! An incredible, breathtaking talent - as a fellow Kiwi I'm just so proud of her.

Это просто волшебство! Я влюбился! Очень талантливо!

Black face at its best huuuuuh get it together man lol

Rhonda Page I was searching and searching to see if anyone mentioned it. This is a beautiful song but when I came across the music video I was shocked

I am so lucky to have found her music. I have goosebumps all over, which doesn't happen often. This is haunting and beautiful

This video is haunting and painful.

U r remarkable, ms. H

Two high

Many may disagree but this is like an old Irish folk song. There is something about her voice that reminds me wee bit of Nico mixed with Moya Brennan

Just discovered this very exciting artist! Thanks for sharing your work Aldous. Loving it!

My 10th Aldous Video today March 26 2019 and I'm going to go hug my daughter

This is so sad, it gives me the chills

I'm crying...

my god this is incredible
can't believe i've missed out on her for so long

А ДМ same she’s all I’ve been listening to lately. Thanks algorithms!

The YouTube commercial at the beginning of this, was using another video of hers.

<3 Ironically it's making me cry! <3

All of her videos are completely different. Love it.

I can't wait to see you at Brighton. Greetings from Stonehenge (or thereabouts) ♥️

She is my cousin on my moms side

The ending of this video 🙏🙏🙏

Has a Joan Baez influence ❤️

The woman in the mask is hiding from shame. The deterioration of her mask happens over time in the same way hidden guilt destroys us slowly. She did something, made some choice that killed her daughter. Her love that she will never marry, knows what she did. She lives and dances alone even though she is gifted with the music. Her daughter shows up at the end... the man with her would have loved and cherished her but is angry because of what the mother did. The daughter and man are but a figment of the masked lady’s imagination.
This is what the video is about. Hannah correct me if wrong.

Or she could be a parent with histrionic personality disorder. These things function like a Rorschach test, really. You get out of it what you put in it.

This song is proof of how beautiful pain can be when it's turned into art 💔

Man this is the most beautiful and strongest song..

its so beautiful that it nearby is killing me.
oh im so grateful you found your room and voice in this human world.
❤❤❤❤❤

Great song but a daft video. Reminds me of the horror film "Goodnight, Mommy".

She is great.

No matter how many times I watch this it always moves me .

There’s such a 1970s neo-folk vibe to her voice and manner of enunciation... I adore every second of it. Pure beauty.

I love your style and I love the way you flaunt it.

cuts deep

So much in love with her!! 😍😥

Where have you been hiding Aldous? Gifted..You have skills..a new Kate Bush? 😊😊💜💜

This song once sent me over the edge but like a drug, I cannot keep from coming back to it

no words

Words cannot express my love for this song. I come here to get away from all the auto tuned crap today’s society calls music.

Struggling to find words.......wow.

Hope all is well--noticed tour was canceled. Would love to hear you live in this lifetime.

😍😍😢

Makes Lorde look very 2nd rate.....which she is anyhow.

I am absolutely obsessed with this woman. She has that Bjork quality in that you cannot stop watching her and her voice and words just pull you in, deep down that rabbit hole. I don't ever think she'll be "huge" in the traditional pop star sense because she doesn't spoon feed anything to her audience. But I predict she'll go down in the musical canon alongside Patty Smith, Kate Bush, Bjork, and the like. Fucking brilliant.

Absolutely agree

There is something just incredibly unique yet so relatable with her.

..do you mean Patti Smith?..

I like the fact that you can never be certain where she is heading with the tone / pitch in her vocals.

She's her own beast

:-) such a breath of fresh air in these days of high volume ubiquitous aggressive drivel

Stone Cold. Amazing. Stand reed straight Aldous. Push aside distraction. You are gleaming, flickering , don't explode. Arc to heaven .

I personally find her music to be haunting and amazing, a wretched beauty. A smile to despair. Every video I've watched so far is weird. Makes me keep watching in anticipation for it all to unfold. I can only hope that one day I can bring such depth and sincerity to my music. And her and Marlon together is a dreamscape.

"a wretched beauty". Yep, this. Couldn't have picked two better words to describe Aldous if I tried.

finds her way into my soul...

I was reading in today's TimeOut that, Aldous' Party was chosen best album of 2017. Spooky how she appeared after watching a Jethro Tull video.

Potentially the Laura Nyro for the 21st Century. 'And When I Die' (1967), 'You Don't Love Me When I Cry' (1969), and for something lighter 'Wedding Bell Blues' (1966).

Nailed it!

Rusted root sister contine

The beauty, the ache, her music is magic.

Derivative, Unimaginative, Boring, uninspiring Dribble, obviously copying Lady Gaga

Sam Westlake there is no relationship between lady gaga and Aldous Harding. I see ten thousands more interesting things here than in lady gaga's music. You know, different tastes 😉

Aldous's gothic, dark, intense style has its origins in the Bronx genius Laura Nyro in the 1960's. Nyro invented this style of pop. For an example, 'You Don't Love Me When I Cry' (1969), 'And When I Die (1967), and the bewildering December's Boudior' (1968).

if you knew her you wouldnt be saying that

Lol, wut??

Troll much? Lol.

Cuánta belleza

I will never marry my love
I will die waiting for the bells
Death, come pull me underwater
I have nothing left to fear from hell

I was gifted at the music
I was born the day the year was new
Someone has stolen all the water
I keep the pills inside an urn

Lord, show me my daughter
Show me her before she burned

We go walking in the hallways
Now and then a record gives a tune
Sometimes we hang from our chambers
Baudelaire in the afternoon

The yellow rose is a stranger
The devil’s invitation in bloom

I stand looking at my chamber
There are many things upon the floor
The blade is ready for the slaughter
The Virgin Mary hangs on the door

I will arrive at death’s border
Take back the cover God has torn from me

I am at the river with baby
Her father enters with a leap
Hold her head above the water
She is pale against the stream

I am the horse beneath his daughter
He is the mountain underneath

Does anyone else feel an unsettling Casey Anthony vibe when they hear this song? I love the song, but I can't shake that feeling.

what a poet she is!

Lord, show me my daughter
Show me her before she burned - effects me too much.

I will never marry my love
I will die waiting for the bells
Death, come pull me underwater
I have nothing left to fear from hell

I was gifted at the music
I was born the day the year was new
Someone has stolen all the water
I keep the pills inside an urn

Lord, show me my daughter
Show me her before she burned

We go walking in the hallways
Now and then a record gives a tune
Sometimes we hang from our chambers
Baudelaire in the afternoon

The yellow rose is a stranger
The devil’s invitation in bloom

I stand looking at my chamber
There are many things upon the floor
The blade is ready for the slaughter
The Virgin Mary hangs on the door

I will arrive at death’s border
Take back the cover God has torn from me

I am at the river with baby
Her father enters with a leap
Hold her head above the water
She is pale against the stream

I am the horse beneath his daughter
He is the mountain underneath

What a great month I've just had for albums. First King Krule The OOZ then baxter dury Prince of tears and to cap it all off Aldous Harding Party. Amazing. I feel blessed

Baudelaire in the afternoon... Heartbreaking, not once, not twice, always again and everytime deeper and deeper.

Very unique artist, love Aldous, i like that she’s different than most music out there, stunning girl.

that sucked lol

el lee Silver I feel so sorry for you.

Beautiful new singer worth listening to.

Don't mind me, just losing my shit in emotional despair, alone in my house with my mask as you do...

willpower I know right! I wasn't even feeling any odd way other than myself till I heard this. Makes me think about childhood, pain, suffering, innocence, love, beautiful babies, my little dog who I lost.. .everything!!!!

Maddy Prior for the 20tens. Thats a great thing

I really dig you.

Beautiful! <3 xxx

This woman is beautiful. So much raw emotion ❤️

its her best song by a country mile

Just this morning, I read about Aldous Harding in the Sunday San Francisco Chronicle "Pink Section". Read that Lorde had kind things to say about Aldous and am happy to say that Aldous is less pop. Have been a fan of 4AD since This Mortal Coil (1980s) and still enjoy Throwing Muses, Kristen Hersh. AH is visually dramatic with a keen sense of song.

A musical genius, methinks!!

Superb. One of my favorite songs of the year.

Amazing song and I love the video too, I cannot wait to see you perform with Lorde!

this girl is fantastic

so much grief 😢

knock one out like this brings reflection we all need ... x
