It is ALWAYS possible to drive through Paris. In a sportscar. It takes a while. Better would be to simply walk through Paris. There are absolutely better things to look at. Still I love this song, the first computerized song. Hope Jagger likes it.
This without doubt is my most favourite Marriane song,she sings it great but unfortunatley she experienced the happenings of the song,so she sings it with a passion.
better to ride through Paris at 37 in victory, than have your head roll into a basket before an angry mob. Poor Marie Antoinette, imagine going from queen to guillotine at age 37. Better luck to all the women who have international jet-setting dreams may your ride through the streets of Paris with the wind through your hair and the one you love nearby be so much better than hers
I'll be 50 when I do this but I WILL ride in a sports car with the wind in what is left of my hair. When I was 37 I knew I would do it one day and soon I will. And I will do so loving Lucy and Marianne.
doesn't she look and sound like someone that you just want to wrap your arms around and protect from the rest of the world and erase everything that has happened to her?
@idkidgaflol Check out the film "Montenegro." It was made in 1981 and you can find it on youtube. You'll appreciate the beginning a lot...well, the WHOLE film is fantastic and very few people know about it...Worth a look.
Ms. Faithful can do no wrong. One of my favorites. Also, the song is very effectively used in the film, "Montenegro," which was released in 1981. Try to find the film, it's a rather twisted black comedy about a depressed suburban housewife who goes a bit mad - to say the least. Love the singer, love the song and love the movie.
you know how she sings in metallicas"the memory remains"?the part that goes nananananananannananananananana,does she have an original song that the nanana part came from,cause i've heard another song with that,but i can not find it anywhere...please and thank you.ive been looking for years.
You know I always loved Marianne but it was not untill tonight that I really understood her music for myself...been to the dentist and am in pain... and her voice is so soothing... - consolence -
Will someone explain to me why Marianne Faithful has this cult status!!! I get it when it comes to, Madonna, James Dean, Elton John, Elvis, Twiggy, Lulu, Eminem, The Doors, eg famous people but I have never heard of Marianne Faithfull. I mean what has she seriously ever done to give her such cult status??
@iLuvAkeys4ever Hmm... she was Mick Jagger's lover and muse, inspiring and co-writing some of their most recognized songs from Stones' early era. She's also a multifaceted singer/songwriter, active since the 60's, who has collaborated, among others, with Bowie, The Beatles, Beck, PJ Harvey, Metallica and Pink Floyd. Was also romantically linked to Bob Dylan. On top that, she's also an actress, and her great uncle was Sacher-Masoch, who spawned the word "masochism". Does that ring a bell?
@iLuvAkeys4ever sorry for your youth, and the fact that you sound american, but there are great singers actors etc with out having to be american, when you put her name with madonna and eminemm u have got to be bloody joking. and btw she is famous..
@iLuvAkeys4ever - I quess you never swa her in Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus, or any other venues either. Very talented woman, and yes, she has endured a very different life. She was very under estimated. Yes, she did a lot to help Mick Jagger get where he is today
then and only then will you come to realize what so many other fans all ready know, Marianne Faithful is one hell of a singer. I shall now step down from my soap box and let the wind die down. The end.
making hers one of the most interesting voices around. The voice may be "quirky" to some, but the range of emotion, the phrasing, and the interpretation of lyric, can only be attributed to one who has seen much in her lifetime, which has made her an excellent performer, and interpreter of song. So, to those who think the voice is "shot," open your ears, and give this lady numerous listens;
In comparison to the voice of the young innocent that sang "As Tears Go By," so many years ago, one has to agree her voice back then was thin and weak. The voice, while still pleasant to listen to, was by no means, at that time, able to hold a note to her contemporaries (Dusty Springfiled, Cilla Black, etc.). .Through the years, Faithfull has experienced life, both good and bad, and has matured, and the voice has followed suit,
Just for the sake of clarification, this is not a Dr.Hook song. It was written by the great Shel Silverstein, and originally recorded by Dr. Hook. Faithfull is faithful to the song, and it's lyrics, and her interpretation make it the definitive version. I've read some comments on You Tube, such as, "her voice is shot", etc., - I don't think that's the case. (Commentary continued in next post).
@lpride1 he was great, in fact i didnt have vip or anything but some girls were were showing their boobs getting bk stage, and of course my boobs are small so i wasnt going to go there. so as he was singing honky tonk women, i kept screaming at him to get his attention, i do a fantastic mick by the way i can dance exactly like him lol. and he was so amaze by it i got to go bk stage he said for me do like him that much and to dance like him he was moved by it. i would type more it wont let me
@nothinghumanlovesforThats a great story. What year was that? Hope you don't mind all the questions but I loved him since I was a kid. And always wondered if I met him would I be disappointed. Ok now you have to upload a video of you dancing like Mick!
@calicojag I just listened to Sista Otis, WTF?? I dont know which song you think sounds like marianne, I listened to a few trying to find a good one but eventually gave up, she would have to be one of the crappest singers I have ever heard lol lol lol.
@calicojag Never heard of her before but checked her out since your post. I don't see/hear what you do. But she is interesting and wild. Slight similarity to Janis Joplin. IMO
@hovis1962 i didnt wanna go to start with, when i got there it was like nothing else, everyone was in love and kissing, the wind was warm and magical and the fashion was all so cool. Loved it thanks.
@zinetube Perhaps not, but when I drove through Paris in it, with the warm wind in my hair, and had my eyes closed and put my head out the window, I believed that it was.
Great murky video for this fantastic, creepy song. The fact that Lucy Jordan survives and doesn't become a suicide martyr has even greater impact, and heightens the feeling for her.
This song is beautifully written and like most great songs it reaches out to listener who in turn can find there own meeting. Marianne here is at her best.
This video is useless, because this song is so intimate that you must listen to it in a complete concentration, especially in a dark room with headphones on.
Its sad to know your dreams will never be fulfilled. I used to dream of Rhodesia being recreated. Alas all my friends realised the truth Mick went in77 blew his brains out, Joe drove over a landmine in 78, 'spider' blew his brains out rigged up a shotgun to go off when the cops came for him, sitting there in his dress greens wearing his GSM there was no room for him in the new zimbabwe. I think Ill go sit in daddys eazy chair and dream of better days.
@ConnieLynchitz wat, this song is about dreams that will never reach fruition. I had dreams too as a young man now they have turned to dust and Im waiting for that white car to take me away to Salisbury to drive in a sports car with the wind in my hair.Maybe then I will see my former comrades. I hope your dreams arent shattered.
@ExRhodesian I know what the fucking song is about. But in the end she does ride through Paris in a sports car. Or is that just a metaphor for suicide?
Either way it is fucking sad. But the WAT was directed at your litany of dead people and circumstances, the vague reference to Rhodesia and a new Zimbabwe. You obviously posted expecting a response, as you have a story to tell.
@ConnieLynchitz exactly, she jumps from the building, the song tells us just that, we all have a story to tell and if people listened a bit more maybe there would be less people jumping of buildings or pushing people 0ff,. Man my life sucks you thought she got to drive through Paris literally? Of course maybe she does maybe Elvis is in the back seat. Anyhow I have to run I dont have long left to live. Literally
Don't patronize me dipshit. You obviously have some mental health issues. I encourage you to private message me through my youtube account. You are screaming out for attention. You were all so quick to reply. Either you are encountering real extreme problems in your life or you are just a troll.
This is the first cd that changed how I viewed music, It is no longer in my possession, as it is now in the hands of my ex girlfriend, I hope one day she will sit and listen to it and feel something of a strange closeness that I shared on many a lonely night. I am about to travel around America, Mexico and Canada at the age of 42, this song will accompany me, this is for all the Lucy Jordans out there who dreamed a dream but never had the chance to live.
@forsburgers, i think her years in smoky back rooms reflected in her gravely voice speak to experience and hard times, and i might like the latter better than her sweet innocent voice of the 60s. either way, i think she is phenomenal. heard her at town hall in the 80s, and her voice had already taken on that raw timbre.
@BrandyRocks Shel Silverstein was NOT the lead singer of Dr Hook, he wasn't even a member. Shel wrote many of their songs, and occasionally joined them on stage or in the studio. Ray Sawyer and Dennis Locorriere were the main singers, but every member of Dr Hook sang at least one song except for the drummer.
@ThePeteerd Probably not autobiographical given that it was written by Dr. Hook, though she certainly makes it sound like her own song. But she does the same for Working Class Hero, which may have been autobiographical for John Lennon but certainly wasn't for her.
@francisnorton Technically it was written by Shel Silverstein, who wrote many songs for Dr Hook. His songs have also been recorded by Johnny Cash, Bobby Bare, and Kris Kristopherson, just to name a few.
@bmorgan2814 Ah - thanks for the catch! I was more of a music snob in those days and took pride in knowing nothing about Dr Hook - probably took myself (and them) too seriously...

No, I don't want to be a famous singer yet, but
I want to share my music with you and maybe I can inspire some people.
Maybe there are some other piano players and singers out there who have the same dream as me.
They play and sing with passion and with heart, the same as I do. And they want to inspire other people and give a little love to them :)
Or they want to get inspired.
Anyways, I would be so happy if someone would listen to my music

Great murky video for this fantastic, creepy song. The fact that Lucy Jordan survives and doesn't become a suicide martyr has even greater impact, and heightens the feeling for her.

@alfredhitchcock8 - I always assumed she died and the ending was a sort of afterlife or 'what should have been'.

This song is beautifully written and like most great songs it reaches out to listener who in turn can find there own meeting. Marianne here is at her best.

This video is useless, because this song is so intimate that you must listen to it in a complete concentration, especially in a dark room with headphones on.

@pepsinthegarden I agree. The video doesn't add much to this song.

Its sad to know your dreams will never be fulfilled. I used to dream of Rhodesia being recreated. Alas all my friends realised the truth Mick went in77 blew his brains out, Joe drove over a landmine in 78, 'spider' blew his brains out rigged up a shotgun to go off when the cops came for him, sitting there in his dress greens wearing his GSM there was no room for him in the new zimbabwe. I think Ill go sit in daddys eazy chair and dream of better days.

ConnieLynchitz 1 year ago
@ConnieLynchitz wat, this song is about dreams that will never reach fruition. I had dreams too as a young man now they have turned to dust and Im waiting for that white car to take me away to Salisbury to drive in a sports car with the wind in my hair.Maybe then I will see my former comrades. I hope your dreams arent shattered.
ExRhodesian 1 year ago
@ExRhodesian I know what the fucking song is about. But in the end she does ride through Paris in a sports car. Or is that just a metaphor for suicide?
Either way it is fucking sad. But the WAT was directed at your litany of dead people and circumstances, the vague reference to Rhodesia and a new Zimbabwe. You obviously posted expecting a response, as you have a story to tell.
ConnieLynchitz 1 year ago
@ConnieLynchitz exactly, she jumps from the building, the song tells us just that, we all have a story to tell and if people listened a bit more maybe there would be less people jumping of buildings or pushing people 0ff,. Man my life sucks you thought she got to drive through Paris literally? Of course maybe she does maybe Elvis is in the back seat. Anyhow I have to run I dont have long left to live. Literally

Don't patronize me dipshit. You obviously have some mental health issues. I encourage you to private message me through my youtube account. You are screaming out for attention. You were all so quick to reply. Either you are encountering real extreme problems in your life or you are just a troll.
I am convinced you are the former.
My offer stands...

The Dr. Hook version is terrible - no soul unlike this version. I cannot understand who this version was not a monster hit if not a number one.

This is the first cd that changed how I viewed music, It is no longer in my possession, as it is now in the hands of my ex girlfriend, I hope one day she will sit and listen to it and feel something of a strange closeness that I shared on many a lonely night. I am about to travel around America, Mexico and Canada at the age of 42, this song will accompany me, this is for all the Lucy Jordans out there who dreamed a dream but never had the chance to live.

@PureWhiteGodess I hope "at the age of 42 you are riding in a sportscar with the warm wind in your hair" and someday I can do the same. ;)

@forsburgers, i think her years in smoky back rooms reflected in her gravely voice speak to experience and hard times, and i might like the latter better than her sweet innocent voice of the 60s. either way, i think she is phenomenal. heard her at town hall in the 80s, and her voice had already taken on that raw timbre.

I'm too lazy to look, so maybe it's come up, but this song was written by Shel Silverstein; I didn't know he wrote songs, too.

Shel Silverstein is the lead singer of Dr Hook :)
BrandyRocks 1 year ago
@BrandyRocks Shel Silverstein was NOT the lead singer of Dr Hook, he wasn't even a member. Shel wrote many of their songs, and occasionally joined them on stage or in the studio. Ray Sawyer and Dennis Locorriere were the main singers, but every member of Dr Hook sang at least one song except for the drummer.
bmorgan2814 1 year ago
does she commit suicide at the end of the song (Lucy not Marianne)
Damin12345 1 year ago
@ThePeteerd Probably not autobiographical given that it was written by Dr. Hook, though she certainly makes it sound like her own song. But she does the same for Working Class Hero, which may have been autobiographical for John Lennon but certainly wasn't for her.
francisnorton 1 year ago
@francisnorton Technically it was written by Shel Silverstein, who wrote many songs for Dr Hook. His songs have also been recorded by Johnny Cash, Bobby Bare, and Kris Kristopherson, just to name a few.
bmorgan2814 1 year ago
@bmorgan2814 Ah - thanks for the catch! I was more of a music snob in those days and took pride in knowing nothing about Dr Hook - probably took myself (and them) too seriously...
