MARINA (and The Diamonds)

Recommended Posts

do u have ears? in what world is this the same progression as emotional machine? lol

 

yes, i do. i also know music theory - it's practically the same progression. in the sense that, if you played just the chords and not arpeggiate it like she does then it's just about the same progression.

it does tho?

the melody itself is way catchier than in the song. like idk who on hell could take that snippet/demo and say "nah this is bad" and replace it with the final...

 

and that's why everybody has different opinions. it doesn't sound bad, i just prefer the verses we have now. Emotional Machine is flawless tbh.

"Marina’s devoted following, and her many LGBTQ listeners in particular, rely on her for complex, indrawn alternatives to hollow empowerment anthems. But the qualities that so endeared her to fans—her vulnerability, her appetite for risk, her unflinching handling of misogyny and mental illness—are absent here."

 

 

which is literally what I've been saying all along
 
The chorus of “Emotional Machine” consists of facile rhyming: “I’m a machine/An emotional bein’/Since I was a teen/Cut my feelings off clean.” When Marina covered similar territory on 2010’s “I Am Not a Robot,” she wrote: “Better to be hated/Than loved, loved, loved for what you’re not/You’re vulnerable, so vulnerable/You are not a robot.” This is a staggering slide, from affecting poetry to cold calculation.
 
OMG ThEsE hAtErS aT pItChFoRk ArE cOmPaRiNg HeR pAsT wOrKs 
 
Though Marina has called “To Be Human” the album’s “most political song,” she resists making any definitive statements. When she sings, “There were riots in America/Just when things were getting better,” she doesn’t deign to place the lyric in context. Which riots? What was getting better, and for whom?
 
 
like i been saying this and yall called me an essay-making hater who had better enjoy the album because she almost quit music 

every artist has ugly merch nowadays ugh

 

charli merch imo is lovely, even her tie die shirt which are horrible are better than this. allie x has awesome merch too
