Laura Marling - My Manic & I

[@pistachio2140]

This is the most accurate artistic representation of bipolar I have ever seen. It makes me ache but I do not feel alone. Deep appreciation for this artist who can translate her experience and ease the ache.

[@amandastanko]

True appreciation for this song, I totally agree that it's such a fantastic representation of bipolar in so many ways. I just discovered this song recently and it's blown me away! I couldn't get it out of my head and had it on repeat until I knew all the lyrics. The depth of the story here is so gorgeous, sweetly dark and real. And with all the energy of this song, 'the birds were singing to calm us down'. So perfect.

[@MindPopsicle]

"And birds are singing to calm us down"

[@Nathan-cl2nc]

Your comment is as perfect as the song.

[@darkhorse7990]

Despite my own depression, the melancholy of this song is strangely helping. On repeat!

[@randomguy-hc7pv]

do you still like it?

[@eira4273]

random guy Lmao 12 years pass and there are still comments

[@AK-je6kp]

Stay strong brother I hope you're feeling better now and if you don't, don't worry it's just a matter of time!!

[@leahsullivan5851]

Same!!!!

[@Whatsthedealman]

Good songwriting. She is opening up her vocals on this song, too. It's trendy to be "cute and dark" at the same time. But that's a sign of the times: young people are caught in a dichotomy of enthusiasm and depression over how fucked our world is right now; life seems exuberant and hopeless...indeed, Manic. I feel like she's on to something authentic, which is rare in popular music, and I appreciate her- she's talented!

[@mywordsmyhandle]

later on, your analysis is perfect

"He greets me with kisses when good days deceive him . . . " Incredible I have struggled with terrible depression my whole life, and it has always been difficult for me to understand what it was like for the women I have loved who loved me to be with me . . . this song has come the closest to possibly shedding some light on this. Powerful song

[@da44real]

Same here Bro. This song feels like a poetic description of my last relationship. I hope you'll find your place in this world my friend.

[@Diamond-1he]

Still loving this song after all these years....

[@momentsinbritishpopculture4613]

Must've come back to listen to this hundreds of times. Legit can't believe it's been so long since this was released, where does the time go?

[@GoogleAccount-kw1mz]

Probably top 10 songs of all time for me - since I first heard it in 2011 or 2012.

[@stefaniaponitz5738]

One of these songs that goes right through you. Magical Laura Marling! Absolutely incredible!

[@elleeme9451]

Perhaps it's not depression. There's something very comfortable and nice about the melancholy feeling. The moody, deep feeling that this song represents. I used to think that it was something wrong with me. But, it's something that's right with me. I enjoy it, I don't feel depressed.

[@care_romes]

This is a masterpiece and a great voice.

[@steph895]

she is only 19!!!! This is unbelievably good. Love the album. She seems to be older than her years. ya know?

[@cbpolitico]

Beautiful song; actually captures the pain and joy of mania... 'Manic depression is a frustrated mess' - Hendrix

[@katieclements3272]

Such a beautiful and haunting song. Great video to match it!

[@alminmajin1579]

10 ( 114 ) = OK*

[@shadabay]

The filming techniques used for this video fit perfectly with the music. And I love the song and how hauntingly beautiful it is. Thank you so much for putting this up on KZbin! :)

[@srose37]

Brings back memories, sweet stuff.

[@MichaelRawlence]

I can't believe how young she is. Only 17 in this video and her voice and songwriting skills are already so developed! I am a new fan as of today :D

[@bettyray69]

I saw her live last week, and she took my breath away!

[@euo95]

I remember this song from years ago, she was featured in NYLON mag...such a poetic song :]

[@SolarSystemSound]

She has an amazing voice and tells a story with her song, its beautiful!

[@bboicrazy8]

I just found Laura Marling weeks ago (I'm American) and I happy I have. She is very honest with her lyrics and emotion in singing.

[@DistantDreamer93]

Laura Marling's music is close to being perfect. I'm so glad I discovered her.

[@Amara389]

It was this song that introduced me to Laura Marling, and this song that made her my favourite singer. It's a good thing I found everything on iTunes, I would have been extremely sad if I hadn't.

[@TyroneProbert]

Saw Laura in concert recently ands he is amazing. What a voice. A true talent and only 17!! Whats to come!?

[@dsxa918]

My favorite from her!

[@StephenAndrew777]

Her guitar is really awesome

[@slashjunkie]

How did I not know about this sweet and beautiful soul until now?!

[@badwolfhunter221b]

He wants to die in a lake in Geneva The mountains can cover the shape of his nose He wants to die where nobody can see him But the beauty of his death will carry on so I don't believe him He greets me with kisses when good days deceive him And sometimes we're scorned and sometimes I believe him And sometimes I'm convinced, my friends think I'm crazy Get scared and call him but he's usually hazy At one in the morning, day is not ended By two he is scared that sleep is no friend And by four he will drink but he cannot feel it Sleep will not come because sleep does not will it And I don't believe him, morning is mocking me I?ll wander the streets, avoiding them eats ?Til the ring on my finger slips to the ground A gift to the gutter, a gift to the city The veins of which have broken me down And I don't believe him, morning is mocking me Oh, the Gods that he believes never fail to amaze me He believes in the love of his God of all things But I find him wrapped up in all manner of sins The drugs that deceive him and the girls that believe him I can't control you, I don't know you well These are the reasons I think that you're ill I can't control you, I don't know you well These are the reasons I think that you're ill And since last that we parted Last that I saw him down by a river Silent and hardened Morning was mocking us, blood hit the sky I was just happy, my manic and I He couldn't see me, the sun was in his eyes And birds were singing to calm us down And birds were singing to calm us down And I'm sorry young man, I cannot be your friend I don't believe in a fairytale end I don't keep my head up all of the time I find it dull when my heart meets my mind And I hardly know you, I think I can tell These are the reasons I think that we're ill I hardly know you, I think I can tell These are the reasons I think that I'm ill And the Gods that he believes never fail to disappoint me The Gods that he believes never fail to disappoint me My nihilist, my happy man, my manic and I Have no plans to move on But birds are singing to calm us down And birds are singing to calm us down

[@MusicAddict125]

These lyrics are fantastic... She's not just a singer, but a poet aswell!! I keep hoping she'll come to Italy someday!! Laura we're waiting for you!!

[@superthrasher1]

[@Isaoo0]

This song is great!!! and her voice is so beautiful and unique. I think all the album is amazing

[@guyosborn]

Just found out about Laura from Hop Farm Festival in Kent - Jesus, she has a fabulous voice, fabulous delivery, fabulous lyrics, gorgeous tunes, spooky and scary and sooo original delivery and understandable words and clever writing, singing, playing, concepts. Music is not dead. Hip hop. rap, r'n'b might NOT just be the future - maybe intelligence is...Can't wait till Hop Farm Festival (I'm 52 and despaired of finding good festivals and good music anymore) - thank you Laura, restored my faith!

[@StargirlsSoul]

I can't stop listening to this song...Wonderful.

[@08frankie08]

[@slashjunkie]

[@Keith9698]

I am stunned at how good this is....if she's not well known in the next year or two, there is no justice....

[@AnnaBean83]

Sends lightning bolts up and down my spine. Simply beautiful.

[@ds1402]

[@brighterxthanxsun]

Heard your other song on youtube 'New Romantic' months ago, and I had to scour through my history pages on my browser to find you just because I didn't put your song on my favorites. Great Job.

[@nictable22]
