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.
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.
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!
"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
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.
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 RU-vid! :)
Believe me. Last year, this kept me believing that the guy I was seeing was a narcissist, a liar, a hypocrite. Bless Laura. These lyrics have kept me from falling for his charm. I could tell myself. ' I don't believeeeee em' On no contact to this day.
I love this song so much, I can relate to it a lot from a situation I have been in recently... What a beautiful voice, Britain does churn out a good thing now and then.
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.
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.
