Amadeus 11,334 Posted February 8, 2019 hh is so good it's like an updated sound but also very marina-esque how the bridge and middle eight fit into the whole song and how the chords progress 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CrazySister 2,239 Posted February 8, 2019 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. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Downtown Baby Doll 5,310 Posted February 9, 2019 Queen serving us winter realness and winter jams. When the beat comes in...oh lord. Won't watch the music video again, but the song's been on repeat all day. It's like a Solitaire Pt. II. I love it. 5 Quote ♡ ♡ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slang 1,533 Posted February 9, 2019 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? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Happiness is a butterfly 480 Posted February 9, 2019 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 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 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DinahLee 6,254 Posted February 9, 2019 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 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FkaTwinks 3,135 Posted February 9, 2019 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 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. 2 Quote 12 hours ago, Tana Mongeau said: eating pure vagina Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DinahLee 6,254 Posted February 9, 2019 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. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FkaTwinks 3,135 Posted February 9, 2019 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 11 Quote 12 hours ago, Tana Mongeau said: eating pure vagina Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charlottexseax 8,013 Posted February 9, 2019 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 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's just not realistic 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 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CatchTheBreeze 1,682 Posted February 9, 2019 I've been listening to Handmade Heaven on repeat since it came out - it really grew on me and I simply love it now. The harmonies are just perfect, the entire song is SO Marina (&tdD). 10 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
