♡ PART 3: "THE ARCHETYPES" ♡ | MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS

[charvelgtrs]

Watch Lana Del Rey's "Video Games", or "Blue Jeans" music video to see why some people might think Marina is sorta mocking her.

[DiamondGlow97]

@charvelgtrs Uhm. She's not mocking anyone. Marina was there before Lana btw.

[MrNandohxD]

I LOVE THIS EVEN MORE NOW THAT HOMEWRECKER IS OUT. So excited for April.

[MrNandohxD]

I love this even more now that Homewrecker is out. ♥.♥

[mizdot86]

huhh..can anyone tell me why lana (of all people) is even mentioned here? i don't see the similarities between them at all.. so random !

[BloodyHookery]

lol why and how is she making fun of Lana? that makes no sense poeple.

[KittyyKatt90]

People need to get real. Shes not taking p*ss out of anyone... She was out way way WAY before Lana Del Ray. get a life.

[charvelgtrs]

I just wanted to say that both Marina and Lana kick ass. They both have such unique voices and just about all their songs are great.

[charvelgtrs]

Is she making fun of Lana Del Rey?

[TheDanOfficial]

@charvelgtrs OMG STOP.. no

[bitterending14]

anyone else find it really difficult to meet eyes with her during this? :P

vive marina! <3

[PeepsILoveEllie]

anyone else feel like Marina is looking at you and only you?

it's scary :L

I love her so much..

[fahd08]

who the fuck is lana???????

[Tetokol]

@fahd08 Lana Del Ray

[fahd08]

@Tetokol ohhh okay.. but i don't see the connection..they are nutting alike

[bluespark101]

Compare Marina with someone once more and I'll compare you with a dead kitten under my foot.

[eothdeathwish]

... <3 our love is yours to take.

[iluvcookies1818]

I actually get goose bumps each and every time I listen to this song...

[iluvcookies1818]

i'm seriously considering getting a little diamond tattoo because i just love Marina so freaking much!!!!!!!

[MyNameIsLyleAnderson]

Oh honestly, just fuck off comparing people and listen to the actual song by Marina & The Diamonds that's in front of you. If you want to whine and make bitchy remarks about female musicians then go to the PopJustice website.

[DiamondHeart4ever]

Hey, I kinda like Lana Del Rey, and I've got the CD, but - I'd NEVER ever be her fan! I am a diamond every inch of my heart! Lana makes good songs but they're NOTHING compared to Marina, and they're puny compared to this one! The singing sounds like an angel, the talking is like a poem, and it's givin' me chills when Marina stares into my eyes like this... Maybe that's how she reads her diamonds' minds and writes them into her songs... No1 else could ever do this!!!

[maritta2504]

I like both. Lana and Marina are brilliant on their own way. So stop hating people ;-)!!

[PixelatedJames]

GLaDOS, what have you done to Marina!?

[sanshearts]

ya'll do know that they (lana + marina) are secretly lesbian lovers , right?

check lana's new years tweet~

[m0ufin]

I don't get what's so wrong with Marina and Lana Del Rey being compared. Marina Del Rey in California is a beautiful place to be!

[Spookigrl32]

ELECTRA HEART IS COMING OUT APRIL 30th , 2012!!!!!!!!!

[sarvih]

LIKE THIS IF YOU'RE BUZZING FOR ELECTRA HEART

[ProudToBeNerdy]

ARGH stop it with the marina/lana. They are both amazing, in different and brilliant ways.

[XxHaiillzzzxX]

Who ever started this Lana Marina shit is a douche bag ! Stop comparing...they are both amazing -.-

[orenjijaro]

I like Marina better than Lana, no offense but her songs has so much meaning in contexts. <3

[109percentoff]

I seem to remember having this Lana Marina rant and getting 100+ likes. What happened? :/

[abbiAngelkinss]

guys fuck off about Lana, go talk about her on her videos ..

[AdamskiLawlerski]

hope the album is good, I love this weird track :3

[ZaraJadee]

Why do people constantly compare artists. Marina is Marina, and Lana is Lana. Two different people. Leave it at that and enjoy the music?

[tonirotten]

@ZaraJadee Love 'em both...more music for me to enjoy! LOL

[101freakystyley]

Marina you are so wonderfully weird - I absolutely adore you!!

[dimransee]

i like lana and marina and sky and rita ora and azealia banks and robyn and iggy and all the female up & comers. girl power tbh

it's seriously a good time for music when you look at the girls - actually doing new and innovative things. compare them to the guys who are doing the same old tired shit and expecting to be praised for it... related: idg y guys with shitty voices can stand there and just sing but lana does that (w/a qt voice) the world ends?

[dimransee]

@dimransee i just really feel like, if you're a woman then you have to be thirty times better than the guys to just get people to take you seriously - and even then, you're judged more harshly. that goes a x million for women of colour, especially women of colour trying to make it in pop (gotta be 100x sexier or else) or in rock or indie music (you're fucked if your a woman of colour in that genre tbh)

so fucked up.

[CaptainSeargent]

kind of reminds me of Lykke Li appearance wise here?

[EarthToAnedin]

I wish this was a full song! Its so pretty and mystical.

[switschmaker]

Lana Del Rey is awesome no need to bring her down Marinafans.

I doubt Marina would want that.

Can't wait for Electra heart.

[HeyJeremyC]

LOVE the fact that this is a concept album! :D

[StawberriesInTheRain]

This is Heavan to my ears and I can't quite put my finger why, it just is.

[Dreaminstar64]

Is this a song I'm confused ?

[EncantoM]

@Dreaminstar64 No. It's an intro :)

[Ellierocks11]

this is heaven to my ears, can't stop listening to it.

[voidlam]

There's a part 3 O _ O

Why did I only just find this :(

[joshybabes666]

In all honesty, Lana fans, you're looking at Marina's guise of Electra Heart. Electra was created to be the corrupt side of the American dream, a vacuous woman and the opposite of everything Marina stands for as an intelligent musician. So basically you're saying Lana, who you idolize, is like Electra... a vacuous teen idol? Seems legit.

[clolton]

@joshybabes666 fucking epic ROFL

[siriuship]

@joshybabes666 I think Lana is doing that as well she just married her character to the Gaga degree you'd say it. Her music is as good as it gets..today wise.

[ForeverTomie]

@joshybabes666 Leave Lana the fuck alone. KK?

[joshybabes666]

@ForeverTomie I never insulted Lana. I just examined the comparison I saw people making in the comments before me. I wouldn't waste my time insulting her or her fans, she's doing fine without me whatever my opinion of her is.

[Animeismybiggestfan5]

I want this song to be a full version on iTunes so I can buy it!!!

[jhubeJELLO]

oh i really like this. marina, where are you, i want more!

[diamondelmay]

People should focus on and appreciate the individuality an artist has, not spend their time comparing, or they'll never hear the things that make each one different. There may be elements which are reminiscent of other videos or songs, but it shouldn't be dwelled on, if it bothers you just accept it as "inspiration". I LOVE this track, it's so creative and beautiful :')

[hidariyubi]

Remind me to Fitter Happier from Radiohead. I think Electra Heart it's gonna be an amazing conceptual record. I can't wait.

[EimearDiamond]

can not wait for electra heart to move into my cd player

[ashleigh101664]

It doesn't even sound like GlaDOS

[AiguilleVoodoo]

Marina and the Diamonds featuring GladOS?

[ifancyfrankieboyle]

nothing wrong with comparing someone you guys are treating the word 'comparing' as if it is 'slating'. I was listening to lana del rey for the time and thought 'oh, she reminds me of marina' SHOULD I BE HOUNDED TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH?! SHOULD I BE TIED TO A LAMPOST FOR 2 WEEKS WITH NO FOOD OR DRINK?!! sorry, no, but love you marina

[ellfx]

Her lyrics enchant you...

[jesseicalynn]

The ugly years of being a fool, ain't youth meant to be beautiful

these simple lyrics catch the human soul so simply, so beautiful. she is truly a great artisit and so underrated

[EveryoneWantsYou]

I love the "Anyone"s in the background.

[ShaylaScissorhands]

oh so haunting <3

[diamondelmay]

Agh why do people need do compare everyone, just listen to the music, sit and enjoy it if you like it. This is absolutely gorgeous, can not WAIT for the album!

[XDCupCakes]

This is such a beautiful song. I can understand how it can be creepy. When I first herd it I thought it was a bit creepy too. But it's so interesting that you forget the creepy-ness. And the lyrics are amazing. I love Marina and the Diamonds. And not just for her music but for the lyrics too. Her lyrics arn't about 'how i'm gonna steal your boyfriend' or 'dont you wish you were like me'. She is stating life. And with the lyrics and music together. It sounds beautiful. :)

[fervereaone]

This song pretty much is the story of my life.

[Dais1995]

this song could be in a horror movie with a creepy toy

[LeaPersephone]

@Dais1995 so it´s a horror for you to find urself?

[aeonsky]

parts of this remind me of portal

[XDCupCakes]

@aeonsky Hey it does!

[OnaipBlue]

I'm scared to watch this before bed because it's kind of creepy. But I love Marina and this song/i don't know what it is, is so beautiful I have to listen to it. But it's still creepy. Haha

[Alexisuppose]

can't wait for album

[EleniAthanasiou]

the vid is a little too lana del rey, but i <3 it!

[GanousheMusic]

K, YOU ARE FANTASTIC. I ADORE YOU.

[sankamols]

i luv marina and this song grew on me so big sorry to the diamonds i did not mean to 'dislike' this song so i changed it and 'like' it instead

[LilithaaHK]

Lol, I don't get it.

Can anyone explain?

[1234tirion]

@LilithaaHK I think it describes a character Marina's trying to portray, "Electra Heart". I think it'd be easier to understand if you watched the music videos for "Fear and Loathing" and "Radioactive".

[Alexisuppose]

WHENS THE ALBIM!!!??? I NEEDS IT NOW!!!!!!!

[deweytann]

When are these comin' out? When's the next album???????? Fuck! ;)

[fayenesse]

slowly dying without this album.. i neeeeeeds it...

[Vindrag]

The lyrics to this intro frightens and inspires me.

[XxNyxGirlxX]

Her hair is pretty :3

[creationlist]

IM SOOOOOO FREAKING EXCITED FOR HER ALBUM IN FEBRUARY!!!!!!!!!

[Jennifer9715]

really looking forward to hearing Marina's next song from the new album :)

[switschmaker]

Ok saying Lana ripped Marina off is pure bullshit but so is saying there are no similarities between them.They both are Indie they both have very mainstream pop elements in their songs their songs have lyrics which are often about the same and they both have a unique voice and they know how to use it.

I like them both :)

[ArronPo77ard]

marina blows every one in this genre out of the water <3

[maggru91]

This is the character Electra heart, the transformation the woman in Part 1 and Part 2 have been going through has led to this.

[kbinsan33]

You ever notice themes in her songs. Something about her personality and not being her self and "living a lie" . I just think its really cool.

[jooble]

Featuring GLaDOS; "Iiiiii greee-eeew uuuuup iiiin aaaaaaaa liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie!"

[yeoldeengineer]

How did I miss this for so long? It's great. Oh well. Guess I should start saving up for the album...

Seems like I'm not the first one to be reminded of this 'A Glorious Dawn - Cosmos remixed' piece, which in fact does feature Stephen Hawking. (Check it out.) Maybe, just maybe I shouldn't have given up physics after all...

[lalalandchronicles]

she looks like that actress from clueless with this hair and i'm clueless as to why she did this song

[fonziegee]

How can people even say things like M&tD copies LDR or the other way around, have you idiots actually listened to their songs? they are COMPLETELY different,

COMPLETELY.

as in there are 0% similarities

the only thing in common is that I think both of them are amazing singers.

The Family Jewels was one of the best albums I've ever heard

[switschmaker]

@fonziegee

WAS? one of the best albums?

You mean IS :D

[fonziegee]

i can't believe LDR is so famous she's actually getting the "mentioned in every music video on youtube" treatment,

i thought that was only reserved for the shemale and justin babypenis

[Emybookworm]

Marina and Steven Wilson (from Porcupine Tree) would make an interesting music collaboration.

[Vindrag]

This song have reached 100 plays on my iTunes already! But I want to purchase the whole album and get the real sound quality! Marina!!!! This is wonderful. The Kate Bush comparisons are something you should be proud of. More of this. Please. I know you wont see this,, but anyway... you inspire me... to feel. Thank you!

[Obsessive0514]

Excellent once again. This album is going to be amazing.

[rchde]

Lana Del Rey is a prime example of everything Marina is taking the piss out of. Housewife, Beauty Queen, Home-wrecker, Idle teen.

[Goosielovestomoyo]

Marina here reminds me a bit of Mutya Buena... Love Marina, can't wait for Electra Heart! <3

[BigCupcak]

Sorry but I don't see any reason to compare Lana and Marina. They don't have the same music style neither the same style?

[misscharlottelara]

WOW i didn't realise that Steven Hawkins was featured in this song!

[aFireICannotPutOut]

Eerily beautiful and emotive

[petrovwithv]

love the fact that Marina can produce intelligent pop

[GermanSailfish]

The tags say "Cindy" and "Sherman". She's a photographer. Wikipedia: [...] Sherman has sought to raise challenging and important questions about the role and representation of women in society, the media and the nature of the creation of art.

[MrNandohxD]

Starring Role its the housewife one.

[MrAndylucas]

I just love Marina so much <3

[01AAriel]

@Phantasystarboy Also, Lana started making music at the same time as Marina, she just didn't pick up as fast...

[01AAriel]

@Phantasystarboy I absolutely adore Marina but I also love Lana and saying that she is a copy of marina is a little rushed... Marina's videos represent her songs and show us a story. Lana's videos have nothing to do with her songs. Ok, their voices are both unique and deep but their songs don't speak the same words. Marina's are about self-empowerment and now show american archetypes. Lana's are about love. There are bound to be some resemblances but it doesn't mean one copied over the other.

[danielmudie]

I have always loved Marina. I don't fully understand this song, but I love it.

[109percentoff]

I like Marina and The diamonds. I like Lana Del Rey. I like Lady gaga. But they are 3 completely different artists and I would never compare them and neither should anyone else.

[ImagineLetters]

@109percentoff trust me, lana and marina are really similar. specially in lana's first album :)

[109percentoff]

@ImagineLetters seriously disagree :L

[silharoun]

@109percentoff *bow* 

[313FanMusic]

@109percentoff I Agree!

[stefmanbrett91]

@109percentoff You sum up exactly what the problem is with people commenting on artists on youtube. Always comparing. They are missing out on great music because they feel the need to disregard other artist they think are copying their favourite

[109percentoff]

@stefmanbrett91 Yes, that is exactly what I'm trying to say!

[Piinchelito]

It's a Marina's video. Not Gaga's. So, why do you talk about her? They're different. Nobody said that Marina copied Gaga, or anything like that.

[NothingToSmileAbout]

Who'd Cindy Sherman? I don't understand the Ode to Cindy reference, does anyone?

[EncantoM]

@NothingToSmileAbout there will be a song about that in Electra heart, I guess

[boyeatworld]

nobody is 100% original. even the renaissance artists were inspired and borrowed from each other. please shut the fuck up and stop bickering over who stole from who because it's a tired and useless argument.

[Phantasystarboy]

@piinchelito oh and I suppose yr her best friend? LMAO no I won't shut up cuz that's the whole point of commenting. if you deny that gaga has not been inspired by madonna then u quite clearly don't know her either. If you think that gaga is the first girl to do what she's done.... Erm you ever hear or see Roisin Murphy? Gaga TOTES copied her style too.

Ps I don't hate Gaga cuz imitation is the best form of flattery but if you take this as an insult then yr obv very uneducated.

[Piinchelito]

@Phantasystarboy You said: If anything gaga is a modern copy of Madonna. Well, she's inpired by Madonna, but she doesn't copy her. It's different. You said very uneducated? You don't even know how to write "cuz, yr" ;)

[sonicnewboy]

WOW! This song is soo creepy, and I love it that she is experimenting! Yay Marina! And she's so versatile! To go from something like Fear and Loathing to Radioactive to this. I cannot wait for the new album to come out! Sounds like its gonna be amazing already.

[thechumbles]

This is simply genius and one of the most innovative things I've heard and seen in quite a while. Uniquely Marina and very strangely beautiful. Guys, just listen and let it resonate; how it sounds and feels to you is what matters. Reminds me a lot of the strange voder that Stephen Hawkin used for a while.

[jackclewley1995]

I hate all these pretentious comments about 'reaching into your soul.' That's not what the song is about! It's about all of the negative American-style ideologies of 'perfectness' and social groups. Get over yourself please ¬¬

[RobertMonsterEV]

now I understand it all

[sanshearts]

I really don't care about other people's opinion on gaga, marina or lana.

I love them all so much marina and lana on a same level, and gaga almost as a mother. They could be completely unaware of each other and sound similar /because/ of the female artist genre~ they've almost had the same influences etc. do I need to elaborate ?

[CascadaaXx]

This seems like it should be the beginning (part 1) of electra heart, the identity crisis. Then comes the radioactive and fear and loathing. But that's just going off what I see as an American, and honestly Marina's songs are fantastic no matter what order she releases them in :p

[crystalline721]

lmao people are starting to compare people with lana del rey now atleast i know shes gonna be bigger then gaga now

[SilverSkyeStarlight]

Oh my gosh it's GLaDOS.

[eviilangel77]

@SilverSkyeStarlight hahahaha i thought the exact same thing

[FannyFoguer]

that messed with my mind so much.

love it.

[switschmaker]

Gimme Gimme more :)

[Vindrag]

Oh wow!!!! This is how I remember Marina, very much like that eerie Kate Bush music she did on The Family Jewels. I agree with the most thumbed up comment, this album is shaping up to be pretty amazing. I love her and her unique voice... it gets me everytime! More of this Marina! Radioactive was a brilliant pop tune, Starring Role is an OK album track.. but this and Fear & Loathing are... immense!!!

[boyeatworld]

Such a cool concept album... I think it's about being disillusioned with yourself and instead being raised off of media/musical tropes.. it goes back to 'hollywood' and 'i am not a robot' kinda.

[Beth8S8D]

I've never even met her, but I feel so utterly proud of her and whats shes achieved and what shes achieving at this very moment.. in my eyes, shes perfect.

[MusicVideoAddict]

I've always found this video very... Lana Del Rey

[kamui5252]

@MusicVideoAddict Lana del rey's official page likes Marina & The Diamonds page. So maybe they know each other.

[MusicVideoAddict]

@kamui5252 Yes, they tweet each other a lot too, so I think they do. It's not an insult to the video, just an observation :)

[bbastiaaann]

Who is Cindy she mentions?

[rageagainstmonica]

@bbastiaaann The less successful Barbie doll thing, I think Barbie is a bit cliched now.

[FraggleZombie]

Clever! I like where this album is going.

[MrNandohxD]

Since we're talking about Gaga here too, well, I have to say, that, with Marina, these 2 girls amazingly changed my life and for good. I feel like more mature now and a better human being. I can proudly say they are an important part of my adolescence.

[109percentoff]

Can. Not. Wait.

[Uselessfromjapan]

Electra Heart is gonna be amazing!

[stunathanvin]

I'm loving this new album and it isn't out yet. I love Marina.

[morbidpurple]

this is going to be an amazing concept album! :D

[Phantasystarboy]

I'm pretty sure Marina&the diamonds was about before Lana Del Rey so if anything Lana is a copy of Marina.

If you own marinas first album you'll also know full well that she hasn't copied any of gagas style or songs.

If anything gaga is a modern copy of Madonna.

Can't wait for Electra Heart! -3 marina!

[BigMFan]

@Phantasystarboy Thank you.

And I also cannot wait for ELECTRA HEART!!! :-)

[jamesmcgovern11]

@Phantasystarboy i love both of them and gaga and marina are both original, don't be dragging down gaga for no reason.

[EMILIETHENINJA]

@Phantasystarboy BEST. COMMENT. EVER.

[ailsamairi]

@Phantasystarboy yes, marina has made such a bigger impact on my life than gaga or madonna, i do love gaga and madonna, but marina has ... i guess ... saved me :3

[radioactivechic567]

@Phantasystarboy You are so fucking right!

[Piinchelito]

@Phantasystarboy LOL like if Gaga'd know Marina. I think they're both GREAT, AMAZING singers. Marina doesn't copy Gaga and Gaga doesn't copy Marina.

[Sharktale90210]

@Phantasystarboy the only think between Lana and Marina is that they are both friends ( twitter told me) thats it. different things. love them both.

[Piinchelito]

@Phantasystarboy Why the f*ck are you talking about Gaga? I'm sure you don't even know her. So, please, please, shut up :)

[theoriginalopo]

@Phantasystarboy Agree totally , I don't know why people are getting shirty over your Gaga comment because not only is it true but also a massive compliment to her. There are modern copies of tons of artists in the world today , just look at Justin Bieber and 1970s Donny Osmond.

[938178]

@Phantasystarboy Sooo and Madonna is the holy queen? hahahahaha xD Gaga can't copy a copycat ;D

[MattGreenLight]

Grooooooooooncho

[wallwindowdoor]

jannelle monae!

[ichbinkelli]

Marina Lambrini Diamandis is wildly underrated. I love her so much.

[IndigoLyricsss]

you will never know love

[TheArchetypesVEVO]

My channel is based on this song! Thats how much this interlude has inspired me. Btw would like to say. Sorry for bringing up GaGa. Their both amazing artists! Think of the creativity if they collaborated. & I'm top comment :o) Thanks youtube! ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

[JellyMonsterCharlie]

Can I marry this?

[ToniTheVoltage]

@JellyMonsterCharlie well, if japaneses are able to marry videogame-characters, you should be able to marry this awesome piece of ... this piece of brilliancy o.o
