[@MourningBells8520]

There is no song that can sooner make me cry than this one.

[@heartmulgrew15]

its haunting and beautiful...LOVE THIS SOOOONG.

[@brandondillman5848]

This song breaks my heart, Laura Marling , you write songs like my old love was talking to me and me to her.

[@thabongwenya1448]

whatever

[@thabongwenya1448]

no one cares

[@alfischer3851]

Good stuff.

[@brandondillman5848]

Trolling troll trolls unsuccessfully

[@GaaraFan01]

Same. It's beautifully cruel.

[@chaotic5chick]

yeah, and you know my favorite part? "he couldn't see me, the sun was in his eyes." like, he was so manic he wouldn't pay any attention to her. love it.

[@Malkmus99]

This song is geez .. INCREDIBLE thanks for uploading this videos

[@BozzasBilge]

she is grace personified and a dear Thanks for it =)

[@2010SvH]

I think she is singing about a person with Bipolar disorder also known as manic depression, I have it, so i can relate to this song so much. So beautiful and passionate, makes me cry :') She should of got all the publishing she deserved unlike artists like jason derulo ECT

[@jasonallen268]

Frankie Newman that's why this song gets me.

[@GaaraFan01]

Would make sense, since it completely reminds me of my ex who has manic bipolar. I wish it could’ve worked but he wouldn’t help himself 😣

[@Imayasage]

i hear this more than once a day!!! it is THAT awesome

[@marniedowden53]

She is amazing, how can someone dislike?

[@candburd]

great song

[@chaotic5chick]

THANK you! i love singing it... i just felt silly not knowing what it meant.

[@isedray]

this song is AMAZING...thats all

[@XKatiemiller]

btw, i think you've picked the perfect colours to go with her music.

[@TheStrangemo]

my favourite song!!!!!!! :)

[@CammyS12342]

i seriously abused the replay button on this song....

[@alipaige5661]

being manic means there is no in-between with a persons emotions. they're either completely happy "his GOOD days deceive him" or they have their low days where a manic is depressed and in extremes suicidal. "he wants to die by a lake Geneva." or pretty much the entire first verse.

[@4992Sarah]

Ooh I always thought Morning was mugging her....makes sence too since she had just said that she dropped her ring hehe

[@mikidomeny1677]

Happy nameday beautiful

[@PhilWasYellow]

how is there a dislike button on ANY laura marling song?

[@toxicfairy07]

I'm afraid you may have a confused definition of bipolar disorder. Bipolar people experience a full range of emotion, in fact they can go days, weeks & sometimes months or years without manic/depressive episodes (without medication the days/weeks is more typical). Even during episodes there is great variation in mood, they just go to greater extremes than is called for by a given situation.

[@KittyKraz13]

"Manic" is sort of like the opposite of depression; instead of being constantly upset and mopey someone with mania feels angry or excited at an unhealthy level/length of time. "Manic" is greek for 'frenzy, madness.' It's basically craziness. :3

[@RieMixX3]

I wonder y I'e never heard of her until now...either she isn't promoted much, or I've been out of the musical talent loop 4 a bit {{LOL}}

[@chaotic5chick]

i agree, yoda!

[@jeadacoleson8887]

Shooting butterflies though... such an old fanfic lol

[@AniCusp]

Maybe that! I thought it was two sides of the same person and the war between both the personalities.

[@chaotic5chick]

okay one question - is it really "them eats"? "avoiding them eats"? that's all i've seen, is that what is says in the lyric book? is there some english lingo i don't understand? it's not like "their mates" or something sensical like that? i do love this song though. don't get me wrong. i just get a little hung up when i'm singin it.

[@FoolishTheMortal]

A manic depressive is a person with bipolar disorder. It's the same conditions.

[@kaehler100]

She's writing about bipolar disorder. Sounds like she may have it herself. I know Marcus Mumford has written songs about having bipolar as well.

[@lucitetokki]

fucking superb.

[@Britamerica19]

@Erick0Samantha ooooooo thanks

[@SethVII7]

Damn this takes me back 10 years ago when I almost killed myself. Good old times!

[@TortureMeMore]

[@verow7]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

[@daricachaiyachat4189]

It's Nicklaus favorite song

[@RatedHotdogOfficial]

sounds like a sequel to the water

[@Jcop42]

I think it's carry on south...

[@shelleyfan92]

This sounds like something the wife of a martyr (or someone who wants to become so?) would sing.

[@familiarsting4108]

Or a drug addict

[@trashtvinternational]

what does she say before MOUNTAINS? I think I can hear "By"... help! I'm not a native speaker...

[@trashtvinternational]

@Mixiegotyourgun what does she say before MOUNTAINS? I think I can hear "By"... help! I'm not a native speaker...

[@Britamerica19]

i feel so stupid asking this but what does manic mean

[@PINKxACT]

@SheeShineShow lol how?

[@2405efrapix]

@Mixiegotyourgun jajajaja me too

[@johnloverman]

Can you please bake this on mobile? Thanks :)

[@familiarsting4108]

I know this comment is old but wtf do you mean?

[@xxrachelyolandexx]

I always assumed he was a manic depressive, makes sense either way though..

[@AleMaya]

the lyrics, for gods sake!!!!!

[@MourningBells8520]

@TheMadeofawesome1 Rape references are classy.

[@Eirinn967]

[@thabongwenya1448]

anyone that comments on this is sad and has no life

[@nicolestacko4407]

.. are you okay

[@DontIntoMyHistory]

TXBS DTA *rushes to comment*

[@rawrarsarawrasrasr4840]

Amazing comment @Kevin haha!

[@KittyKraz13]

No it doesn't, it means you're at an elevated sense of mood. To be bipolar means to experience no in-between emotions.
