I love how this song depicts someone with a twisted romanticized view of Egypt and ignores the harsh reality of what it is. one of the most unique songs in kate's catalog

only her could write a song with such a strong message this way, she’s god

FR! It's cool how she makes it sound enchanting in the verses and chorus, then the instrumental passages reveal the underlying darkness. such a clever way to deliver that topic

oh my god she is so mesmerizing and the fact she’s doing this in front of a green screen… idk how you can get more ethereal looking but she does that and what a layered song wow

I like how she can achieve so much with so little and make it compelling. she’s okay with looking goofy and weird all in service of the performance

and the best performers are this way, not worried about being perceived weird or goofy!

Yes! also funny how this was done for a Christmas special. imagine tuning in to watch Kate perform some charming songs and you get this lmao

nothing but be grateful to witness another brilliant gem from her

just soaking up that greatness

one of my favs... its so haunting and mysterious, kind of depicting this fantasy of the country that enchants her

yeah she shows this romanticism of egypt through an orientalist perspective from someone who doesn't know what the place is really like

Love this track.

Uma das melhores dele e o clipe deixou ainda mais rica
