406. My Brightest Diamond | I Have Never Loved Someone …
4 months ago
My Brightest Diamond singing 'I have never loved someone' for La Blogotheque's Take Away Shows.

Filmed in Berlin, during the MichelBerger Mystery Music Festival, august 2011.

"After the concert I finally dared to ask her what I wanted to ask her that morning, to sing us this lullaby that struck me down. It’s Sunday morning, a morning of hangovers. The whole hotel seems suspended in the air. We ask her to get to the bar, to make it sing for her, to sing for her son (for whom she had written this song). We erase ourselves. She, she doesn’t. After we're done filming, I cry. She cries too."

    I watched this once and felt the beauty of your song. Then I read the description and watched it again. As a parent, it truly and deeply moved me. Beautiful. Thank you.

  • One of those golden moments captured in time and brought to the world through the joys of technology. I cannot say it is a great performance, as it clearly is not a performance at all, pure and honest, as is the camera and sound work. Always carry your camera........

    Wonderful. Tearfully watched and listened over the phone with my partner. We cried and cried. It's how we feel about each other and our children. I just keep coming back to watch this. Thank you.
