rock n roll photographer

[jamesraymondsmith]

well, i looked at some of the influences on these posts and in the tune,, jimmy webb, etc, my epiphany came at 3:00, man no one sounds like you. original is such an overused term. this is wonderful time capsule stuff.

[MacNutz2]

Wow. I love it. I thought of Gage, Reed, and the memorial concert they gave for Andy Warhol.

I love your writing, you break rules to wonderful effect. It takes serious chops to pull that off the way you do.

[BruisedArcade09]

This is great song writting! the kind that you dont come across very often but when you do it makes your day! Thanks!!!!

[kentishbloke]

Sitting here bored this morning. Nothing new to inspire me. what to do?...Ah, go back over mary's videos. this and 'If you could see me now' and I feel refreshed......works every time :))

[SneakysVideos]

come backk to check if that coats still here, great track Mary more starz 4 a big Star

[twohawksfucking]

What a terrific song! Gentle and yet there's all this Other Thing I'd have to call Intelligence--so this is called "Getting In and Out of Cars"... Great title.

Man, this is simply gorgeous. Cinq etoiles, as the French say!

Roy

[marycigarettes]

thanks roy....i'm glad you like it....it's called 'rock n roll photographer'....as you can see .

[twohawksfucking]

I'm sorry. It's a stunning piece. And for some reason I thought the video was a separate presentation of a song of yours from sometime back and, therefore, warranted a different title--this is an older song, is it not? Sorry, sorry, sorry--the fact remains this is gorgeous work.

[marycigarettes]

you've got nothing to be sorry for Roy...im very grateful for your kind words ...it's very encouraging for a songwriter.,.its every songwriters dream to have the feedback that you've just given me...so dont you feel sorry about anything....loads of love to you.

[twohawksfucking]

I do a bit of songwriting myself, but not like you. This is among the 10 Best Songs I've Heard in the Last Year... my little mental filing system.

My hat's off to you... damn.

Sending you some Florida sunshine and warmth because your song, on second and third hearing, sent chills up my spine!

And I've heard a shitload of music in my time... I'll stop.

Be well.

Roy

[ivebeenthere1]

I love this.....even has a Lou Reed feel to it...awesome friend!!

[marycigarettes]

thanks gary.....i was breast fed on lou reed....him and bowie...and glen campbell....the monkees..niel diamond.....creedence..small faces...leonard cohen john lennon...bobby dylan..kinks..the who....jim reeves..val doonican...petula clarke...early cilla black..we are lucky for the decades we were born into

[blokebroadcasting]

The recent snow reminded me of this video. this is where I came in 9 months ago........

[marycigarettes]

@blokebroadcasting ...odd to think people have died and babies have been born since this.....it makes me feel so mortal....still.....i'm glad it captured your imagination and gave you a moments fun.

[ssstooker]

Dear Mary Cigarettes,you really know how to write and sing songs so well......and this song is just so wonderful....I thank you lots for sharing your songs.

lots of blessings and light from the other side of the north sea

[SriCassiopeia]

I was referred by DashPoet, and I must say I am most pleased for taking the journey.

The whole scenario, the clashing colors, the obscure setting; I don't which is best. The fact it was all brought in and tied together with your words and voice, it's astonishing.

[timboytx]

At the risk of understatement, I must say you are a bottomless well of originality, creativity and passion.

[marycigarettes]

thats a very generous thing to say tim....however...i still cant play the ukelele...and i so very much want to.....so i watch you videos like a hawk...youre getting better and better all the time...i want to play donny and marie osmonds 'paper roses' on the ukelele...i dont know why...i just do..theres a million songs i want to play on the ukelele actually....and i fancy the treble or is it the tenor size.

[Brazilady]

I love the varieties of harmonies in a the same song...

[Brazilady]

wow

another one with all the marvelous things you produce....don't know which video I like the most.

Well, I don't have to chose...:o)

[missyA1958]

Absolutely TREMENDOUS! You have it all going on, and we are the fortunate ones, for your Incredible Talent. Endless Stars to You.

[julierex]

I just have to come back to this song again and again....x

[marcmickey]

Fantastic

[loopyone73]

Brilliance of the highest calibre!

[mikedowd66]

It gets done indeed.

You are brilliant in the studio (or DAW) and you

create nothing less than magic...a latter day Druid you are.

I hear lovely new subtleties with each listen.

(and from YouTube audio quality no less)

In any event, there is a studio in Herald Square that has a red carpet with your name on it.....

[marycigarettes]

heavens!!! that is so kind of you, mike ... my word!

[mikedowd66]

Another great Mary Cigarette joint.

I've been listening almost nonstop for 3 days since I

happened upon these songs here on Youtube.

Not only are these songs simply breathtaking and honest,

the engineering is exquisite.

Mary, do you record & mix these gems yourself?

Much love to you, MD

[marycigarettes]

that's very kind mike....'rock n roll photographer' is written , sung, played and recorded by myself...sometimes i wish i had a proper engineer....i'm not really a techy person,but because i mostly work alone,i HAVE to do it myself..it's a bit sloppy and shoddy in many respects....but at least it gets done.

[BigLoveZone]

you are crazy and I love you

[rtoadietodd]

its that good i am listening again!!

[rtoadietodd]

Great song..class video.."someone left the guitars out in the rain" echoes of McArthur park!! Some great photos, black and white has something about it!!

[marycigarettes]

thanks...glad you got the nod and the wink to macarthur park...i love that song

[mikedowd66]

and the nod to Dylan straight after....

[puglet7]

Brilliant song , clever words. I love your style ....and the video !!!

[marycigarettes]

i love it that you love it , gareth.

that song had been waiting to burst out of me for the longest time.

[julierex]

I will never tire of this beautiful song Mary...You are one of the very few people that have impressed me for a long time!!

We must catch up soon!

Much love to you

Julie x

[marycigarettes]

you're a beautiful lady julie.....music ringing in your ears.

[cinderellalifestyle]

[streetspiritlive]

The long lost art of outdoor ironing!

Brought back to life!!!

Here to stay! ; )

*****

[xxpiggystardustxx]

im glad to see your bringing back the ancient art of out doors ironing. i thought it was lost forever :) great track also

[marycigarettes]

hahahaha...yes... i'm on a mission to bring it back....we need to get out in the fresh air more,dont we.

[xxpiggystardustxx]

as i text im down by the river washing my undies

[streetspiritlive]

Fab! n faved

i love this too...

the video is somewhat distracting

but i know what you mean by luis bunuel!

...just a kid getting in and outa someone else's car...

there is life on mars...

you're such a star and you're here!!!

...it's a brilliant bit of poetry and music and voice my friend...

Thank You!

*****

[marycigarettes]

i agree..and it's something i think about a lot...the idea that the visuals might actually distract from the music rather than enhance it...you make a valid point....i can only try my best though...its all very hit and miss.

[Stindels]

another GEM....bravo ....

[marycigarettes]

its YOU that's the gem.

[RunaeMoon]

Love this!!!!!5oo stars!

[marycigarettes]

five hundred stars is a beautiful vision!

[LeopardJoy]

I have no words...just tears...having been a rock n' roll photog throughout the 80s and 90s...glad I hadn't put my makeup on before I listened!

Joy xo

[marycigarettes]

thanks joy..yes..it's real sad isn't it?...an odd mix of glamour and sadness.

[AcousticRain1]

love your stuff mate

[6sx6]

Still cool

[nukecat]

im glad he kept moving the iron,otherwise it wouldve burned lol

[tomwaits12]

I'm new to your music and new to Youtube! Heard this song on BP Fallon's radio show by chance and loved it - do you have a CD I can buy? Need to hear more .... beautiful.

[TheDaveFrom1952]

Loved this song when I first heard it on your MySpace player last year. Love the video. Great to see you posting again.

[maninwhitedress]

Cars have taken over our world.

[HermanHanauer]

The great exciting story of a rock and roll photographer was wonderful documented in this song

[Lajsa2000]

Super!!!

[mondobay]

one of my fave mary songs and the video is great too :)

[tps607]

This is marvelous....a riveting song,a video I couldn't take my eyes from...Brilliant! *****

[swellmusik]

5*  .

[nannerbj]

Excellent really excellent . BP well known in here as I am sure you know - bit of a legend in Dublin !!

[maxguzzo]

U  R A GENIUS! no more to say! 5*****

[lubedude2]

Very nice. Thanks to Tim and Mikee for the share. 5*****

[Therapist1972]

awesomeness! 5 stars!!!!

[lemonostiftis]

lovely video for a great tune

[WavelengthRose]

i've seen and heard a lot of different styles of music and lyrics...yours is truly U~N~I~Q~U~E ;-}

i like this...thank you tim!!

*btw, next time i need ironing i know who to call..lol

[bigbeninjax]

Yes, if we added up all the money and time wasted on the cult of personality, we could easily feed all the hungry in the world.

[marycigarettes]

i agree!.....the dark question is ..even if we could feed the hungry...would we????..we could feed them now...but we don't....we will always find some other grim priority...we're a dark species.

[bigbeninjax]

So true....it makes one wonder why the hell don't we? Even Obama, with all his pretty words and flowery speeches, throws two trillion dollars to the bankers and insurers and doesn't do a damn thing for the hungry who wouldn't need a tenth that much.....and the beat goes on.....

[col32rocks]

WOW THIS IS AMAZING,

thanks monnello for the share,

[PlayboyHerbie]

Wow. Brilliant. Thank you.

[Rumpep]

I'm dumbfounded such a complete contrast to your last video, the voice and

song so nostalgic and a very touching

story about your friend Briliant video

thanks monello for the share

5*......Barbara

[nllleonard]

A wonderful song! Very interesting lyrics and visuals...lovely music. Yes, the visuals...very cool!!! Great send Monello! Really did enjoy! Love the clothes! ;)

~NAncy

[Tadek59]

Amazing video and great voice and beautiful song !

5*****

Thanks for share monello198 !

[beachfrontal]

Gee I do like the stuff your making, I seldom get them sent direct, I don't know why they onlky come my way when someone like monollo, in this case sends them, you must be popular because they do get here by shares eventually, going to check my sub status it should be green, for go, because you are inovative and make great videos. 55555555.

[kentishbloke]

I use the word GENIUS too readily, But Mary, in your case it is under stated. One of the truly original innovators on YouTube. I know of BP from the "Unforgetable Fire" U2 biography. Another Genius......Must be the OIRISH in yez.

[weeyin1155]

An outstanding share from monello198.

Thank you both! Bright stars and hugs...Jan and Susan. x

[EdMuirton]

Brilliance! Superb song, singing, performance, video and production! Sensational work Mary! Cheers!

[tinySpectacle]

Lovely song, really, really. And visually stunning.

[marcoacca]

Really really beautiful as usual, or more than usual, if possible.

[mindovermatter2009]
