Among our dreams in life is watching Kimya Dawson sing a Burt Bacharach song to a common garden snake. Today, that dream comes true.
Video shot by Aesop Rock featuring Kimya Dawson and Panda Dawson-Duval.
“Reflections” written by Burt Bacharach.

Well hello there. Next month's theme is IMITATION. We're looking for written and visual work that has to do with mimicry, replication, re-enactment, dramatization, novelization, repetition. Not to mention: camouflage, fakes, counterfeits, “authenticity,” “reality.” Send your stuff here, and thanks. ♥
oh my god please adopt me

Log in to replythe fact that this was shot by aesop makes me so ridiculously happy
Log in to replyHello fellow Alaskan!??! I was thinking the same thing. Can we be friends
Log in to replyWhen I first saw Juno I loved the sound track and I kept thinking who is that amazing unique voice singing these awesome lyrics! And of course my question is answered by Rookie. Rock on!
Log in to replyI love her music (and rainbow socks)! I had no idea what she looked like, it’s not what I expected, but in a good way. And that snake was sooooo cute! and the frog!!!
Log in to replyAHMAHGAWW THAT FROG
Log in to replySO CUTE, I WANNA KEEP IT
LOVE her voice. Gorgeous.
Log in to replyif only ‘common garden snakes’ in australia were that cute
Log in to replyHer voice is so amazing! I love “Juno” and her songs on the soundtrack are my favorites (although the whole soundtrack is awesome)…
Common garden snake… In Germany we don’t have snakes in our gardens (or elsewhere… well I’m not sure, but I’ve never seen a snake outside a zoo.)
I think zazza would be happy if she’d say the same, right?

Log in to replythe weirdest part of kimya dawson singing is that she sounds JUST LIKE KIMYA DAWSON
Log in to replySo great, I love her. And the frog and snake are adorable.
Log in to replyGenuinely wish I was that snake :/
Log in to replyWas this filmed for Rookie, or did it already exist?
Either way, it’s completely precious.
Log in to replyIt wasn’t filmed for us, but Kimya gave it to us exclusively, for which we are very grateful! She’s gonna make something just for us in due time, too. We swoon.
