MARINA (and The Diamonds)

Recommended Posts

I like HH, but I think it still has to grow in me a bit. On the other side, this song made me feel more excited in hearing the studio version of Emotional Machine, since I didn't like much when I first heard live. I hope I like this time around.

Interesting how seeing the video made the song production pop out as being much more lush and lavish than I remembered. I like the song a lot now.

 

Topically, the lyrics remind me of Lust for Life, specifically the Invictus poem paraphrase part. I mean if heaven is handmade, God is not interventionist. On the other hand God (or the starting infrastructure) is not irrelevant as you only handmake things out of available resources. Just to compare the two videos/songs further (wtf, I'm bored): red-riding hood vibe here matches LDR wearing red in LFL mv, and there's also the "blue birds[skies] forever" line. Obviously, there ae big differences in the social setting of the videos: LDR's prominent male role in both lyrics and video; whereas Marina is alone (and uneasy, according to the lyrics), but Marina also talks about friendship to get her through (the birds of a feather flying together stuff).

 

So has Marina talked about the meaning of the song anywhere?

THE VISUALS ARE STUNNING

SHE'S SERVING IAMAMIWHOAMI TEAS BEFORE IONNA LOST HER TOUCH

THE ICY SCENERY, THE WATER, THE CONSTRAST BETWEEN ALL THE WHITE AND THE FLOWER MONTAGES

SHE SERVED CLASSIC YET CURRENT WITH THOSE BRIGHT COLORFUL LIGHTS

THE DARK HEADSHOTS? WITH THE FLOWERS? BEAUTIFUL

THE BIT WHERE SHE OPENED HER ARMS AND THE FLOWER BLOSSOMED WAS MESMERIZING

MARINA (WITHOUT THE DIAMONDS) SERVED YET AGAIN

classic :lmao:

 

all this is serving is tacky 2013 tumblr overlay trends people did in 30 seconds on some app named "Cool Galaxy Editor" on Google Play

 

the nerve and delusion of comparing this to iamamiwhoami :lmao:

The music video was cute. Low budget but cute. Like Mariner's Apartment Complex etc.

 

Also y'all saying ionnalee comparisons are slanderous, putting her on a God-like pedestal etc, need to get over her tbh, it's not like her vids are high art  :smokes:


is this like... a legit leak\demo from last year that went lowkey or is it even older and just re-upload or... idk. It sound like even more rough-garage-band than I remembered

 

It's a quite old leak, it was on the old Tumblr masterpost and everything.

It's just pointless to compare this with... iamamiwhoami. Because let's be honest this is cute and nothing else. 

And it's basically the same thing from Immortal but this time the projection isn't real-on-her-face.

 

It's just a bunch of (beautiful) footage of her in snow and... random flower shots. It's simple but effective... but def not "her best." But it's odd they decided to even go with such a ballad for the lead, I'm curious about what the fuck they're really doing.

It's from the Family Jewels era. Back when she was in her artistic prime.

What's the point on comparing iamamiwggoqmaampqfqjw and Marina?

I wanna know why a couple of y'all are baffled and offended by Marina starting an era with a ballad anyways. She did it with TFJ (Obsessions), and its not like her pop lead releases exactly broke records (Radioactive #25 in the UK, Froot nowhere to be found). She isn't a hits artist so idk why yall expected her to drop a disco pop song about her heavy branches again in 2019 and peak at #1 WW. It's just not realistic  :creep:

edit: that is not a demo, it's just a bad recording of Bad Kidz. There are no HQ recordings of the song since it was only released on vinyl and people have shit recording devices

Just because she will never attain success, that does not mean she shouldn't try.

At least give people a chance to embrace you by putting your best foot forward, Handmade Hell is not it
