Black Marble - Iron Lung

[@DankBurrito420]

I just found this song a few months ago and ever since, I can't stopping listening to it. It gives me the strangest sensation of nostalgia, melancholy and calm at the same time. I can't always explain the emotions I feel when listening to this song, but I know that I'll keep coming back to it regardless.

[@chyntiaar7488]

So true! I discovered this in mid 2019 and until now I can't get tired of this song really

[@FHSBlackSwarm]

I've been on since 2015. My first song was Pretender and I fell in love with BM. I noticed he lost some "edgy" gatekeeping followers because this album wasn't "goth" enough but I feel like it's what also put him on the map a bit more. It's been one of my favorite albums to date and for kind of the same reasons you mentioned. In case you aren't already aware, his latest album just released but I too, have to always come back to this one ❤️

[@adamvazquez9903]

Make sure you love that girl or guy and she loves you or he. Never get into a relationship where 1 relys on the other make it mutual and never ever ever rely on the other for just emotional or financial support make sure you both come with the best intentions of making eachother better

[@Iggins420]

*slow clap* 👏

[@paulagiselle9085]

oh my god i was literally just thinking of a toxic relationship that i just got out of cause i miss them???? but like this comment made me not miss them so thank you

[@Awzuki]

AMEN ❤️

[@FHSBlackSwarm]

I was getting back into one when this song came out. Sucks too because I held everything on her which made it impossible to grow. 2 years single and barely coming out of the 4 year alcohol coma I was in. 3 months sober 💙

[@ambientbluntsmoke]

slatt 🗣 never again

[@Kludge]

One of the most relaxing songs I keep coming back to.

[@therealignotus7549]

Relaxing. Oh, well relaxing I dont know.

[@OmarBro19]

This song is forever good; even after hearing it so much in repeat lol

[@MrKajithecat]

This song has been on repeat. It's soothing as it's sad, life seems to be put into perspective every time I listen to it. Sometimes you find songs that reshape the whole "feel" of your life and put you into a new chapter. The story goes on.

[@lucanhenrique7457]

Listening to this right after the post workout meal, its just me a feeling of peace out of this world.

[@morgann90]

I will always be addicted to this song. Wow just SO good!!

[@supremeintrovert7404]

Are you still addicted? 😁

[@morgann90]

@@supremeintrovert7404 yes . 🙈

[@2.cruzjimenezchristopher462]

Same :D

[@aktovt]

i somehow make it to this song whenever i feel like absolute shit

[@tomatepotate]

i feel that. try out some of the cure or joy division if you haven't already. they're black marble's influences

[@toyestori2842]

yo you know the song TIME by THE IMPURES, its so good its an indie band

[@YukoWasHereシ]

...me right now

[@rogerhoke9725]

I go to this one when I am absolutely shit faced and feeling below pond scum level. The Cure, Depeche Mode, etc.... none of them help me out at this point the way this song does.

[@eduardo0796]

I studied Linear Algebra during college with this song (and album).

[@taylortrash]

i love this comment, there are so many songs i think of as songs i studied to in college. those stay with you

[@JohnSpaceCat]

I feel like crying

[@ghost-youth1037]

I'm fighting back tears. Every time I hear this song.

Oh iron lung, are you at the house? Will you be alright? Did they throw you out? I want to know, are they keeping you down? Are you working now, is it working out? Now I suppose you've been under the gun Is it closing time, did you have to run? Try this on, you feel perfect now Did they speak of you until their tongues fell out? I don't believe you, iron lung I don't believe in the plow You kept me young, you were my iron lung I need you now Now iron lung, did they make you sing? When they bent your arm and took your ring? I can see you now, I can hear your sound You keep me up, my iron lung I don't believe you, iron lung I don't believe in the plow You kept me young, you were my iron lung I need you now

[@Kabanchik04]

I dont get the meaning of that iron lung and stuff

[@unholybless]

An Iron Lung is the colloquial term for an artificial breathing machine that used to be used to assist patients who could not keep their blood oxygenated.

[@KissTheBlarneyStone]

The hero we needed

[@immabigkidnow1]

I don't know anyone I am iron lung has often referenced someone who smokes a lot as well

[@KaaneDragonShinobi]

@@Kabanchik04 An iron lung is used to keep the patients bryant hobbs was talking about alive. It's used when a patient can't breathe on their own, it essentially works their diaphragm for them. Without it, they would die. I assume iron lung is a slightly dark, somber metaphor for someone the singer loves and misses dearly. Probably a remark on how much he needs that person in his life, how dependent he's become on them. He can't breathe without them. He can't live without their presence.

[@ikiwyu]

I still can't believe how many great albums were released in 2016. Several of my favorites to say the least.

[@MelanaC]

Such The Cure vibes! I’ve been listening to The Cure since 1987 and have almost everything they’ve ever released - LP and cd and dvd and vhs video! I’m thinking I’ve found a new love! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@ColonizersBlow]

It's a great soundtrack of your life kind of song...all of their stuff is! :)

[@Mewtwo420]

3 years ago I couldn't listen to this song because it reminded me of my friend who committed suicide. Now I see it doesn't remind me of that anymore and am able to listen to it without any attachments. Great song.

[@Shehasskills]

My deepest of condolences. Remember that energy never dies, and we're not allowed to know EVERYTHING but please have hope. What a blessing to have shared these life experiences with someone you love. It's worth missing them. You'll see them again when it's time. Bless you and everyone else who's delt with someone passing on.

[@Alprazolam_25]

This is one of the greatest songs ever..those lyrics hit me hard.

[@chunk4203]

Not much longer and 2016 will be 10 years ago :( How time flies. A Different Arrangement opened my ears to a different post-punk sound I hadn't heard before and I was so hyped when It's Immaterial came out. Instant classic album. I've been in this musical phase ever since lol. Found my place I guess.
