Dresden Dolls, The - Sing Lyrics

Lol my mom can't stand AFP's music but she LOVES this song. I think that says a lot about it. ❤

Who’s the bastard who censored this song...? Fail.

What’s wrong with the audio on this video? :/

This song is about forgiveness, not empowerment. Its about looking on the other side to those that you may have hurt or wronged or arguments you didnt see the other side of. Its not a song about self-empowerment. Look at amanda. Thats not her being effing mazzy star over here. This song is looking at the other side of what you know, understand and believe. This is my breakfast, because it humbles me.

Fantastic song.

Damn i forgot all about this song and just revisited it. So fuckin powerful. Its rare a song gets me so emotionally. YOU MOTHERFUCKERS JUST SING FOR ME!!!!

Who censored Amanda Palmer?

0:54; 03:09

You motherfuckers will sing some day tho

I heard this song for the first time in Germany back in like 2008 or something, I was repulsed by it. It wasn't the songs fault but my own. I came back to it today because I dunno, it is exquisite now for some reason.

The censorship is artistically reprehensible.

YouTube shouldn't even allow censored videos to be posted. It's essentially destruction of property. If you don't like certain words, don't say/write/sing them. But don't ever cling to the delusion that anyone has the right to censor anyone else.

Ah, but, for assholes like me, I see shit like this... I go buy the fucking album from an outlet that I'm relatively sure gives the most return to the artist (sad to say, but it's I-Tunes. And a big fuck you to all the wanna-be hippie/artisanal/grass-roots.org fake-ass money-makers...)

holy shit! quick! sumbody buy grass-roots.org !!!

This will always be my favorite Dolls song. Just sing.

....standard reaction...tears in eyes and happy :)

what is the tittle about?

Just sing.

censored!!!??? really? fuck.

A song talking about being free for just 3 minutes gets censored. The irony is delicious (and sad)

Qué mentada de censura.

Whenever I'm feeling unconfident about my singing and I get really depressed and just want to give up, I listen to this song.

....a bit late but "just sing".....

33 People Are Motherfuckers Who Will Sing Someday :))))

I've been a hardcore DD fan for quite a while now and I just now discovered this music video. Ooops.

+Anna Nikole One of my all time fav DD songs :D

One of the very few songs that can move me to tears.

It just did for me.

I would love to listen to this song covered by Anna Calvi, I think her voice and her way of singing are somehow similar to Amanda's.

Hands down my favorite song EVER.

  Compare root canal and singing, I'd rather have root canal.  Hate the time, trouble and the whole "Now we're one" crap.

Singing is an awesome experience. I feel so sorry for you.

rock and roll yeah

I agree that the censorship is completely unnecessary and damages the integrity of the song, but let's not target rap as inferior, okay? Like any genre, it is perfectly capable of producing innovative, insightful music.

The swearing is unnecessary to the message tbh

I like the way she moves her face, its like shes chewing something n speaking

Years and years after first hearing this song, I still cry.

Mine too....

my fav dresden song. <3

There is thing keeping everyone's lungs and lips locked
It is called fear and it's seeing a great renaissance
After the show you can not sing wherever you want
But for now let's just pretend we're all gonna get bombed
So sing

No, the 16 dislikes on this fucking video are because they edited the crap out of it. Some cuss words are there to express a valid emotion and fuck fuck fuck is sometimes appropriate. LoL

It's horrible!

seriously dude why would you compress the audio on this track. Can't anyone hear the distortion and pumping ???

ok I have to admit danger days isn't their best album but sing is one of the best on there.

I do like it, but just not as much as the rest of their songs. It is a good song, but I love the rest of theirs so much.
Danger days just isn't really my album.

you gotta be fucking kidding me!!!! >:( Why do you not like mcr's sing? It has so much meaning to so many people.

I don't really like the mcr sing, it's my least favorite of their songs, but I still love Amanda and MCR

Anyone else notice that she is the spitting image of Magda Goebbels? ~creepy~

Go on my profile and watch my cover of this please! :)

guru singh

Oh shit! hahaha

We caught you. Heheheh....

The drummer sure loves the derby or bowler hat.

Makes perfect sense. They wrote two versions, this and the one they actually curse in which comes out in an album marked "Parental Advisory Explicit Lyrics." Hiphop / rap artist only make one version cause they Don't Give A FUCK.

I have always adored you <3 I starting listening when I was 10 and never stopped. 8 years down and i'm doing better than ever (:

I've loved this song since it was first released. After I arrived home from Afghanistan I'd watch the clip and bawl my eyes out. Thank you Amanda and Brian for getting it.

i love how your name comes form flowers in the attic (or at least that's what it reminds me of)

Yes, Virginia... Sing

Her facial expression in this video is similar to that of the children in the "I don't like Mondays" music video by Boomtown Rats.

She looked comepletely psycho...

@blazia6 You're listening to the wrong rap song, yo!

@blazia6 Do you live in NA? any good R&B/rap/rock/bluegrass song WILL get bleeped if they swear.... idiot.

how can a vid like this get 17 dislikes ??? this song is perfect is the song im a ianist songwriter and singer and is this song i sing when i want to remember who im and why im living my life for music

There is this thing that's like touching except you don't touch

sound is goosed on this......:(

LIFE IS NO CABARET.

They've muted Amanda's swearing! Fucking hell! Motherfucking roadrunner

i love Amanda! xD

This song always makes me feel better.

Seriously, the build up. Phenomenal.

okay so i am a HUGE fan of my chemical romance, and i heard Gerard (the singer) was really into the Dresden Dolls and he said it was a basically a woman who sang and played piano and a drummer, and i sing and play the piano so that really got me interested so this is the 3rd song i have listened to by them and im really impressed i like them i think i am going to listen to more haha

Siiiinnnngg!!!!

The white statues remind anyone else of BioShock?

I DEDICATE TO OCCUPY! WE ARE FINALLY SINGING!

I usually have to be in a certain kind of mood for a song to make me cry, especially the first time I hear it. The first time I heard this song was just now. I was in a perfectly normal mood, eating breakfast and watching youtube videos. Then I listened to this. Now I'm crying into my cereal. In a good way though!

@stinknus how so

Jacks Mannequin totally ripped off this song

@gardenguyvic Why should I? I don't like many dresden doll songs, so it would be a waste of money.

@Sploggez Buy the fucking album.

@pentumplementgum RAINING BLOOOOD!!! hahaha

@PyroPrincess33 oh well.

@MentalRecluse Not cool.

@Sploggez AHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

lol, paused the video so I could get the url and download the mp3 so I'm not doing too many things at once, and I totally got a good facial expression of Amanda at 2:35. xD

@violetheatherbrown
funny story gerard's a dredsen dolls fan :LL
i like both vers :3

This song is so beautiful, I started crying when I listened to it.

@MCRisSOawesome agreed they didnt steal anything the lyrics music and style is different idk y ppl think they stole it both are good songs

The 16 dislikes were from people afraid to sing...

I am a fan of both MCR and Dresden Dolls. Dude, these are two completely different songs that happen to have the same title. It's not like singing is an obscure thing to sing about.

Oh great MCR, I don't even like this song I think its really cheesy but for MCR to do a rendition of this makes me *facepalm

if mcr did 'steal' this song..i actually prefer mcr's version tbf..

@MCRisSOawesome look at the lyrics of "sing" by both bands.

to the 13 people who couldn't appreciate singing - i'd appreciate it if you'd shut the eff up.

@strangeling354 DUDE! YOU'RE RIGHT! I'M NOT COOL!!! CAUSE ALL MY COMMENTS ARE SHIT!!! so...I let fellow fans down .... 0.o Oh well?

@strangeling354 I think it's unecessary for my chemical romance to blatantly steal the ideas of a GREAT song by the dresden dolls. They even used the same song title.

@xXemosrockhardXx thank you

Sing for my chemical romance raping the ideas of DD.
God I hate that band

@IdiotsForObamaCom Why wouldn't you sing for someone who lacks the freedom of thought you so clearly have? Someone who has been so brainwashed by the lack of freedom in their homeland that they don't really have a choice?

@immaeighteen Fuck yeah

you have to respect talent, simple as that. The dolls and Amanda Palmer herself have a thoughtful energy that few others seem to have. Long may her light shine in a sea of darkness.

@immaeighteen I fucking agree!

@rednoseroxy

Funnily enough, no. No, that would not help. :s

God, I can't watch this without crying! <3

@rednoseroxy

Her eyebrows are drawn on with liquid eyeliner, not tattooed on.

desperatly in love with a.p.
