Marion Raven - Better Than This (Videoclip)

[@edandales]

I strongly believe that this song is about Marit Larsen. Aside from the lyrics, and some of the photos in the book; the music video is too similar to Marit's "Under the Surface" 1st MV. You could also hear incorporations of folk music to this, which is Marit's genre... and 2:36 sounds like a part of Marit's "Don't Save Me"

[@infamouscess]

M2M was dropped by their label Atlantic Records on September, 2002 and I remember Marion stated in her blog the reason why Atlantic pulled the plug. She said their 2nd and last album "The Big Room" wasn't as successful as "Shades Of Purple." After revealing their album's lack of sales, fans of M2M was devastated and the rumor of M2M's break up has been going around for weeks because rumor has it, Atlantic had shown a great deal of interest on Marion but not on Mairt. Months later M2M announced their break up because Marion was offered a $1,000,000 recording contract by Atlantic records and she gladly accepted it. Leaving Marit behind, fans of M2M called Marion selfish because of how she betray her bestfriend for fame and money. Regardless of Marion's attitude towards Marit, Marit kept trying to reconcile her friendship with Marion but Marion ignored her for years. Clearly, Marit felt betrayed by Marion and years later Marit decided to record her own album and her first track was a song about Marion which is "Don't Save Me." A song about betrayal. Marion's career backlashed and she wasn't that successful, later on she was also dropped by Atlantic because she didn't meet the company's expectation and since then her career went down the drain though she did a duet with Meatloaf. Marit on the other hand had a number 1 single on Germany, sold out concerts and probably a lot more successful career than Marion base on her KZbin views but neither of these girls had the same success they had when they are M2M. I guess this is Marion's way of saying sorry to Marit.

The fans was devastated? *the fans were devastated.

[@superdani152003]

That's so sad

[@mistyeyedlass]

+infamouscess :'( love them both, though but yeah, good explanation. still sad. oh, and there was a photo of them together on Marion's IG from 2014 (or early this year? not sure anymore but there is, from an event).

[@maizatulakmar5775]

+infamouscess Not entirely true. And I disagree that "fans of M2M called Marion selfish". They weren't really fans of M2M. They were fans of Marit. True M2M fans support both Marit & Marion.

[@ladysheqa]

Having a childhood besfriend and all of sudden broke up cause by external factors, is the saddest story in the world. I feel you, Marion.

[@aeragwen111]

So now it's time to carry on We're no longer stereo Oh we lost the fire from september And I can't do with only ember And now's the day to let it be Cause you don't really care for me Weeks of silence you have put me through And I never knew where I had you I wish I could push pause tonight In the middle of the applause and the light How we are together I'll forever miss Cause I know nothing gets better than this But now its time to look ahead Forget the things we never said Wish I could go back and do it again Maybe we would do it differently then I wish I could push pause tonight In the middle of the applause and the light How we are together I'll forever miss Cause I know nothing gets better than this Oh how I wish time could stand still tonight In front of me you are such a sight How we are together I'll forever miss Cause I know nothing gets better than this

[@deviantme3728]

Still listening to Marit and Marion.. all time favorite...

[@aquarispoot]

I wish they can forgive each other and come together again :)

[@iamryancurtissmith]

The song is about Marit Larsen. The 1/2 of M2M about their relevant and disbanded times... I hope they will still make a song, album, and videos in the very near future.

[@prateeksaxena9134]

Lovely song!

[@lovelygulfan3336]

Marion's voice is sublime and the melody is so dreamy ^_*

Prefiero ser de los pocos que saben apreciar esta obra de arte. Antes que la musica basura de hoy en dia con millones de reproducciones. Las cosas no son como deberian ser, pero doy gracias a que existan aun artistas originales como Marion.

[@81fercan]

Este año descubri que seguián cantando ella y la otra después de M2M, ya que MTV solo pasa música de madrugada(el resto del día puros realitis de Usa y México) y no recuerdo que Much Music la pase, al menos en Argentina

Iam so sad she leave marit but its okay i still love both of them by the way marion is the good song writter too. I hope both of them happy. Iam their fans since 1999 from indonesia.

[@gadoootv7804]

aku juga kakak, tau mereka sejak dont say you love me sih, cuma bener2 ngefans nya pas the day you went away keluar. waktu itu seriiing banget di puter itu mv di tv.

[@herlambangarr6002]

Did this song dedicated to marit? I'm pretty sure, the picture in the book which covered with beads is picture marion and marit when a little girl maybe teenage?

[@camilletepes173]

This song is really good! Its just sad tht it wasnt given the attention that it deserves

[@sitinurbaya3552]

agreed..i first listened to it but now i can't stop listening. it is still in my head.

[@sitinurbaya3552]

is this song a continuation of m2m's the day you went away? the hint is in the lyrics "September"

[@xyz2112zyx]

I don't think so. Maybe she's talking about failures in her life with her ex. We hope she feels good now after years of what happened. Indeed, if you think about it, her musical style just changed radically from a "bad woman" to her beginings (from a musical point of view, clearly)...

[@chucasedable]

es el diario de marion en tiempos de M2M el diario esta forrado de morado, se muestran algunas fotos de Marit y algunas paginas que dicen MILAN

[@marionravenlatina]

Martin Ramirez No, de hecho esa es la intención tanto de la canción como del video! Apoco no es hermosa? La letra de la canción lo dice todo.

[@Syaelendra]

Martin Ramirez Wow, I realized then. The are 2 girls in the diary. One looks like Marion, the blonde girl looks like Marit. Too sad... ;|

Efectivamente la fotografía que sale en el minuto 00:37 son ellas!!

[@anacaro8704]

michel roberts wow... no lo había notado aunque intuía que era una disculpa de Marion a Marit.... y qué opinas de "traveling Alone" de Marit Larsen... yo creo que es una clara respuesta de disculpa no aceptada no? ... o más bien como decir estás sola de ahora en esto...

[@eurovision8260]

alguien que pueda traducir esta cancion!! porfis!!.....lo poco que entiendo me gusta jeje pero ojala alguien pudiera traducirla!!!

[@DDevospartan]

No se de que sirva 2 años después pero bueno. Es el momento de continuar porque ya no somos "stereo" Perdimos nuestro fuego de septiembre y yo no puedo seguir con solo cenizas. Hoy es el día de dejarlo ser porque a ti en realidad no te importo. Han sido semanas de silencio las que me has condenado, nunca supe donde es que yo te tenía. Desearía poder poner pausa esta noche a la mitad de los aplausos y los reflectores mientras estamos juntas, eso siempre lo voy a extrañar porque se que a partir de allí ya no mejorará. Ahora es el tiempo de mirar más allá Olvidar las cosas que ya nunca nos pudimos decir. Desearía poder volver atras y hacer las cosas de nuevo Quizá lo haríamos diferente esta ocasión Se repite el coro.

[@johngalt8577]

With the M2M split, The point here I think, Marion left Marit in the dark with the counter offer to go solo and leave M2M. I assume Marit was not aware that Marion will press on ...without her. Heck I would be happy for my best friend if her career is flying great compared to mine. I wouldnt hold back or hold down her success. But I think Marion handled the whole thing poorly and selfishly..hence making Marit feel betrayed / abandoned. To be dropped like a sack of potatoes just like that would make anyone feel what Marit experience. But I am glad Marit is ok. I think commercially she is a better success than Marion (karma's a bitch...). Marion may have the vocal chops, but Marit to me is the more talented, gifted artist.

[@MChipsTV]

John Galt The true story was that The Big Room was a flop and the studio producing their records decided to drop them. Marion and Marit flew home alone, they were both quite saddened by the news. what's worse was that their families were away. Since they were on tour, their families left to travel. When the production company dropped them, their tour was cancelled halfway and they had nowhere else to go but home. Apparently, Marion said that Marit and her didn't speak for a while but met up a few weeks after returning home. They talked about what they wanted to do and where they were headed. Marion said that Marit and her always agreed that they would continue making music together as long as they were having fun. However, it was starting to become more stressful and the girls wanted different things. Marion wanted to continue with pop while Marit wanted to rock. They parted amicably and there was never any bad blood between them. When Marion was asked if she had any regrets, she only mentioned that a few of the skirts she wore were too short haha. Some time later "The Day You Went Away: M2M's Greatest Hits" was released. Great album. It contains a few acoustic versions of their songs that are absolutely beautiful. I always felt like their voices had a certain magic to them and you'd hear it best in the acoustic songs.

[@chikahoshi]

@MChipsTV Thank you for settling out the situation, especially with what so many people want to believe about Marion. :/ (I also want to mention the small typo in that Marit wanted to continue with pop and Marion wanted to do rock.)

***** nope, but u can see it to this music video & when u analyze the lyrics..

[@Syaelendra]

Too sad that like it was

[@mellowDovey]

I also feel the song is about M2M... don't know and could never truly understand what exactly happened to them... if it is true that this is about M2M, then it is very sad... I miss M2M so much & wish they could get back together making music, but maybe fate has it that they're not meant to be making music together forever... now I just hope they can at least be good friends again someday...

[@Syaelendra]

myzaAkmar Past has passed, everything has changed. They still contact each other, and they're still still good friends I think. They did a photo together taken in 2014 in an event.

[@DDevospartan]

Ok, my english probably sucks (At least when I am complaining of movies that's not the case here) but I just saw Don't save me and this back to back and yeah they pretty much have a code that probably only the other half of M2M can fully decode but it might be there, there's a moment in Dont' save me with a young woman in the piano (clear brunetter tho) and here Marion goes crazy on the piano, both songs feature kids heavily in the videos, that's pretty obvious, there's a moment where an older brunette appears here, which probably keeps the theme "It doesn't get better". Now I am not saying that everything in Don't save me video has to do with Marion just the piano girl, it is relevant however that Don't Save me is really old it makes sense in that context and it is no longer Marit's idea of Marion. However this is relatively closer and I don't know what to make out of it. However both Don't Save Me and Better than This in a certain way are (Or at least one can strongly make a case) like the lost m2m songs that we never got and they offer closure to the whole ordeal, we might never get to see them together again but we got this. Regularly not a fan of Marion music but this one is pretty nice.
