Larkin Poe - Mad As A Hatter

[@stevesgirl17]

This is my favourite Larkin Poe song...I wish they would release it.

[@Strings4notes]

I think they did. That CD might be out of print now. I am sure that this audio was recorded in studio, or this might be a performance from which the audio was put on the CD.

[@XenaBe25]

Idk why this is not at the top of the country charts. Are these girls signed to a big Nashville label yet? They should be. They have a gift for writing/ performing anthemic songs.

[@elisabarroness3787]

stevesgirl17 THEY’RE INCREDIBLE

[@scottkuli9767]

You can use a youtube downloader if they haven't, and then rip an mp3 file from the video file. I've done it with some rare, hard to find songs.

[@pascaldenis506]

I agree with you. It's ma favourite song too

[@tomwagner6334]

If a kick in the teeth was a song this is it. Can’t get enough of this masterpiece.

[@joepegel]

They really need to release this song as the first single from their next album. I know it's an older song but with the social movement to destigmatize mental illness, it's more relevant than ever. It's a song whose time has come.

[@javiersuarez2163]

If it's so important, why don't you do something by yourself instead of make others feel responsible for doing what you think you must? Just saying... Regards!

[@patrykwierzchos4892]

Easy... they can always say they forgot, and record it as a first single now ;)

[@alexandrachiodini3416]

agreed, this is actually the very 1st song I heard from them, (the video at the chapel) and that's all it took for me to fall in love with them

[@LittleLuca76]

I love this song. An extraordinary song, so particular, out of time, outside the box, from genres. Every time I hear them, but above all I watch them play this song, I shiver. I could listen to it a million times and not get tired.

[@gusgone4527]

I agree. I like their other songs too but this one is special. It's very personnel for them. Do you know the backstory?

[@markholland1778]

An amazing song about a difficult topic..... Anyone who's had a family member with dementia will understand.

[@TheDellaniOakes]

I sure do! It runs in my family. My mother has it, her sister, her mother.... We live a long time, but lose our minds.

[@laurethjezebelle8707]

My grandmother had schizophrenia. My daughter has schizo -affective. This song is my life.

[@AndreasViklundOfficial]

This has become one of my favorite songs, in all its various live versions. I still haven't found two performances that sounds the same, and that works well in a song about this topic - not chaotic, but somewhat unpredictable. The added harmony by the bass player in the end was a nice surprise here. Thanks for sharing!

I know what time is, time is a thief It'll steal into bed and rob you while you sleep And you'll never feel it It pulls off the covers, and rifles through your head Then you'll wait to find you can't remember what you just said... It happens to everyone... Just like the father of my father, time stole his mind And I can't forget that one-fourth of his blood is mine I try not to worry... Please don't come for me I promise I'll be great Just let me keep what's mine (let me keep what's mine) Please don't come for me If you must then just please wait and let me have some time (let me have some time) Please don't come for me Mind over matter (it don't matter) when you're as mad as a hatter It's hard to draw a clear distinction Who you are, who you were Through the looking glass, the past and future begin to blur And no-one can blame you Well they say the world is what you make it You think, speak and breathe And those rules still apply, stuck in a world of make believe You make the best with what you're given... Please don't come for me I promise I'll be great Just let me keep what's mine (let me keep what's mine) Please don't come for me If you must then just please wait and let me have some time (let me have some time) Please don't come for me Mind over matter (it don't matter) when you're as mad as a hatter Off with her head, off with her head Paint the roses, paint the roses ...

Beautiful earings. This song lands on my soul gently. My great uncle Norman suffered from scitzofrenia his whole life. He managed to serve in the military successfully. The only real inspiration I had growing up that and superheros and villains. He passed away in a nursing home and cried his eyes out every time I left a visit. A very strong kind man he was 💯

[@kxmode]

As someone who suffers from mental illness, the lyrics makes me cry. 😢

[@tomkrayg8102]

They kept this piece as pure as their earlier version. So much thought is in this piece. I love this song and its message. Their look has evolved as well. Megan is so very good looking. They both are...but Megan is so connected to that slide it's one with her.

[@cupollilo7]

Time - Pink Floyd Civil War - Guns & Roses Starway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin Child in Time - Deep Purple Fairly Tale - Shaman Mad as Hatter - Larkin Poe These are just few classics of rock that i love and came in a moment. 🤘🏻

Its soo touching because we can all relate.

[@suzannemcneal7320]

Puts words to dementia and mental illness like I've never seen before. Thank you so much for giving this a voice. What it's like to live with this and the fear it will eventually come for you.

[@smitmon]

Best version I have seen or heard. Damn.

[@kalebdaark100]

Personally i prefer the Convent gig version. The acoustics in that place are epic. But that said it's difficult to fault any Larkin Poe performance. They sound great playing in a small hotel room or a stadium. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mniom5WAoN15ntU

[@pulaski1]

@@kalebdaark100 I agree, The Convent version is wonderful, and I think that the venue inspired Megan and Rebecca to give an extraordinary performance.

[@AustinSimco-pc1qh]

[@GottaWannaDance]

I love this group, especially this song, even though I hate the truth in it. I've had friends the last 20 yrs. who have it. Some have passed on. One has a very good attitude about hers most of the time. I can't help the tears every time I listen or even read the lyrics. Don't come for me.

[@troelslergaard7642]

This is my favourite Larkin Poe song...Love it from the 'church stage'.

[@rolanddeschain5741]

I loved this song from the first time I heard it. I was hoping for a remake. Knowing the story behind it, this one hits me even harder. The slide guitar seemed much more eerie in this particular video. Fantastic job girls.

ROCKED MY WORLD !!! Whomever produced this...I Pranam ! OMG The sound of the Slide !!!!!

[@danielcrockett8398]

If anyone is first hearing this song and the appreciate it/find it means something to them, look up the live version. I don't say this often but the live version is 1000x better in every way. It really is a special performance.

[@mikerigley1]

Mental Illness is real. I thought I was going to dodge dementia and a few other serious struggles but I was wrong.. These lyrics are so true. It's a struggle to hang on to logic. More people need to be educated on this subject! It's shattering lives everyday more and more.
