02 Laura Marling - My manic and I (live) 

how on earth does marcus play banging thing, shakey thing and the pushy together thing at once. that must be so hard

You are an Angel, period. Your beauty so pure. I never seen M look more red eyed and ... spirit conflicted.

Ridiculously talented girl.

She's amazing...& I love that Marcus is playing 3 instruments at the same time...quite the multi-tasker. I wonder if some of these songs are about his and her relationship. Either way...I love both their musical talents

I have goosebumps up and down my arms from this song. So beautiful.

What a voice.

Meanwhile Marcus is over there playing four instruments at once

Marcus has to be the best drummer a girl could have

This song makes me cry Laura..Yes it does!

i love this song so much laura is just so damn amazing . also what amazes me is the fact that little did ted and marcus know that they were not to much later going to be in one of the biggest bands today.

this song is me right now. tired but too much energy. but I am f"in' gettin' there! I am healing! F the rest

the most emotional version of this song ever!

this has got to be my favorite performance of hers/theirs

love laura marling and her music! 'Alas I Cannot Swim' is my favourite album :) Marcus takes multi-tasking to a whole new level in this performance :D

I stopped breathing for a second at 0:19 and from then on couldn't help staring as everything around me faded into the background.

please let marling and mumford duet at least once. she rarely duets [only with mystery jets and johnny flynn] but when she does they are amazing. :)

She is so passionate in her performance....I love that....

This is better than the studio version.

they all look very passionate about what their doing. love it!

Love her! With this haircut reminds me of Joffrey Baratheon though :)

Laura's fantastic, but I think Marcus could use a few more instruments in this one.

Really 9 Dislikes??? So many soulless unhappy deaf to beauty and true art there are in this world we live in! This is better than anything recorded on an album cause you see her passion/ intimacy and intensity, ABSOLUTELY MOVING PERFORMANCE!!!!!

she is only 18 here!!!

She Plays from the Heart. I admire that.

Marcus the best rattlesnake I've ever heard

such an amazing song.

2.29 love teds little smile!!

This is fantastic.

@janisthegreat Not to forget that she was the one that pushed him to preform his own music and put together Mumford and Sons...

Hi everyone, here are the lyrics in case of anyone enjoys singing it like me ✌🏻🧡 xoxo from Argentina 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

i'm speechless.

Wow! Now that is a song!

Mumford and Sons are okay. Laura Marling is where it's at..!!

@Hunsbassist Aye, it is. I love his expression during any which song he performes in.

she is amazing♥

amazing !!

I´m completely with you. Incredible. Maybe she should do this part once again in the song.

She's brilliant.

That's a siiiick percussionist...

brilliant! ♥

flawless

Marcus can play the accordion as well?! WOW

Yeah he plays pretty much everything.

beautiful talent

easily loveable...!!!

That's true, but Marcus Mumford and Ted Dwane were part of Laura Marling's band and are credited on her first two albums. Then they did break off.

Raw Talent!

a primal, penetrating voice that is such beautiful sadness

Magica, punto.

i'm in love

Aww, this, this song..so calming and just make me smile. Oh, look at how amazing Marcus is. He just love playing instruments. He's too great

No, they're friends and play with each other sometimes. Johnny Flynn too!

OK 1) Lovely lovely LM song; 2) Now we know why Marcus needed Ben for M&S, relieve him at LEAST of the shaker and the accordion ha ha! (everyone happy? Both LM and Mumfie reference).

i love marcus he's amazing...

@BensPurdyLady That whole community of music they from is pretty much the best music to come out of England for about 15 years.

Only because he's multitasking like a madman in this performance. Playing an accordion, shaker, drums, AND singing at the same time is a lot to take on rofl

GOOD!

Haunting beauty, painful

She is really great.. No! She is a fucking genius with this arrangement.

wow.

Marcus is such a talented multitasker..Damn...Carey Mulligan is a lucky girl.

💔

I feel like tim burton should make a video to this amazing song.

@missdeneuve They are from London, England! Just the best music I have most definately ever heard! If you don't know of either one, check out Laura and Mumford and Sons. They sure have changed my life!!! :)

haha well the way hes playing it is basically just pushing two buttons to make the note that will fit into the song, but it's quiiiteee impressive to do even that, a kick drum and cymbal as well as a shaker

Totally agree, should have thrown a cowbell somewhere in there.

The name of the artist is Laura Marling. Everyone else on that stage pales in comparison.

@telifonjasser @telifonjasser i think its the final moment of the relationship together. there is nothing more to say. his 'insanity' [if you interpet it that way] has been the downfall of the relationship. i always find it similar to thomas hardy's poem 'neutral tones'. i love that about marling, she's such a poet. :)

IT'S SO EFFORTLESS FOR HER!

fucking incredible

@23pickleman it's Marcus Mumford

what happens down by the river? anybody know? "Last that I saw him, last time we parted / down by the 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 the birds were singing to calm us down."

I know right?

@mynameismark25 No, you shouldn't stop liking him just becuase he's popular, he's still the same person that makes the same music. And that band have done particularly well in not changing at all despite their sudden rise to fame. I don't think it's fair that you just decide you don't like him anymore with no reason other than that he's popular now just so you can retain your 'indie' status or whatever.

GO TED!! YOU FUCKING ROCKED THAT SHIT BROTHER!

my only wish is that she wrote this song.............

How old is Laura here? This is phenomenal.

@actressinny I am searching for the name of the man on the violin too!

I think I die at 2:35

@omajan09 It's probably just an egg shaker. If you don't know what that is, google it. Every musician should know what it is.

@XiolaBleu1 agreed

why are the most popular comments on this video all about Marcus?!, Laura is so much more talented!

where do they come from ? she seems so sensible, and they all seem to love what they´re doing i´m in love :)

Mumford's moustache. +1.

what does she says before "mountains"??? I kind of hear a word starting for B... help! I'm not a native speaker...

@goby999 If that turned you away from liking someone's music then you never liked their music in the first place.

in a band with Laura Marling*

what's are those instruments that Marcus has in his hands?

why is only ted and marcus there where is ben and winston

@g1eri just re-read what i posted...lol. what was i on? ha. Also does anyone else dislike Marcus a bit now he's become so successful? I know i'm not the only person who thinks that sort of thing...i mean, i think it's a condition a fan can get.

Who's on violin? I recognize the other 3 ;)

@mynameismark25 well...in M&S he sings, plays guitar, tambourine, and a pedal drum all at the same time...playing the banging thing, shakey thing, and pushy together thing shouldn't be that hard for him

Apologies for my ignorance, but is that Ted Dwane on Bass?

Definitly needs more cowbell.

Badem bıyığı ben sende sevdim Marcus

@goby999 Lol what are you talking about? She's not a lesbian. Short hair means nothing. It's just the hairstyle she chose.

Is that a 5 stringed double bass I see?

So let me get this straight... Mumford&Sons was basically in a band before they broke off and did their own thing??

@janisthegreat, she is something amazing but he's freakin doing everything back there!
