Laura Marling - My Manic And I

[nialljc11]

I'm sure Laura Marling is a nice person but her music is on the same stimulation level as cutting your own toenails... (but even that has a slight element of danger to it)

[Thisworldisagoner]

Soooo pretty...Looks a bit like Luna Lovegood....I love these people!!!

[TicklezzzxD]

The lyrics are incredible :O. The guy looks like Victor from Corpse Bride.

[andrandomstuff]

Hahaha, at 0:36 the clock says 5 past 12, not 1 and then 10 past...

[meewill1]

This song is so true. Unspeakably so. She captures the essence of the disorder perfectly. I'm getting chills from how well she conveys the troubles of someone with bipolar and those around them.

Laura, you are a genius song writer.

[OhCamilla]

soooooooooooo good

[Beculetz]

really can't get enough of her music. her voice and lyrics are simply haunting

[anjapanya]

Lovely song and voice!

Please help a struggling singer/songwriter by viewing her songs on youtube. Please see anjapanya. Thanks everyone! x

[Halucine]

Is this Luna Lovegood? I'm, like, 200% sure she just walked out straight from the HP book.

[sfam1988]

Es tan bonita y canta tan bien *_*

[awsinger1]

Simply the most creative video on youtube. The song really does make a lot more sense now. She is beautiful.

[sandymap]

is that courtney love?

[lilciiya7]

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[lilciiya7]

<3

[kampfnasenbaer]

wooooonderful <3 I was looking for this song for years because I forgot her name and the name of the song -.-

[PhilWasYellow]

how is there a dislike button on ANY laura marling song?

[unskeptable]

Fantastic four brought me here

[Whattheheckybecky]

What guitar is she playing??

[TheRealPirateFood]

@Whattheheckybecky It's called an semi-hollow body guitar,

I have one too :D They play really nice..

[1gilesey]

Lithium now you can sleep

[milliongaga]

If my life was a musical, I'd want all the songs to be by Laura Marling.

[mrbolovski]

get knickers wear knickers why?

[MrDel000]

She is fine

[2MinutesToMidnightt]

I have Bipolar disorder and this song makes me happy.

[jim4pam]

and why oh why is katy perry on the list of suggested videos?

me being here and listening to this art should be justification enough to negate me from having to suffer ms. perry.

[HaleyJo97]

LOL! Alice In Wonderlnad scene 1:14-1:24!!!!!

[TellingItLikeItIsSJM]

There is something haunting about the way she sings the first verse.

[Marlens93]

@TellingItLikeItIsSJM I so think that every time I listen to this song

[evifuly]

Hi uhmm.... I live in sweden and I just made a cover of White blank page with my dad, would be AWESOME if you checked it out. Peace! :)

[Thecrimson08]

shes so gorgeous and  shes beautiful too look at!!

[Gabbylera]

she's fucked..is so beautiful

[andy507252]

In case anyone was wondering, cause i know i was, the guitar she's using in this video is a Harmony Cremona, specifically the Cremona VII H1307. Well at least i think it's that one, it's a high end Cremona anyway... not worth a massive amount but quite hard to find.

[icansaymeow]

what is she singing about?

[eveliniscool]

@icansaymeow Manic depression; commonly called bipolar disorder.

[LouderThanLoud]

Somehow... She looks like Courtney Love in that doll dress. Nice!

[mern9]

really reminds me of Emiliana Torrini. anybody else?

[iamaweasel]

@mern9 Nope....

[SiriRawrs]

This is my theme song of the week...

[omgwillthiseverwork]

One of a kind, singular human being, who has not conformed to Hollywood's music esthetics. She is beautiful from the inside and out, and her lyrics so poignantly reflect her inner beauty. Really, truly incredible.

[KubikWabik]

sweet...

[LittleMonster458]

I broke the replay button.

[lmfviolet78]

she looks JUST like Luna Lovegood

[DannoTheDarkOne]

@lmfviolet78 YOUR TOTALLY RIGHT!!

[sim00010]

she is amazing!!

[AlphabetSoupCircus]

her attire and hair in this video are strikingly like a young courtney love.

[callthedoctor1]

bright eyes rip-off

[timthegeneral]

@callthedoctor1 thats the singular most ignorant comment ever, and I love everything Conor's ever done. Thats like comparing Hitler and Obama

[DannoTheDarkOne]

@callthedoctor1 hahaha your comment got hid for too many negative comments :') shows that your wrong :)

[TMiKiLLZoMbieZ]

I know her , shes awesome :)

[sleepyeyeguy]

Similar video style to "Bowl of Oranges" by Bright Eyes ( I dig it)

[1samuelfour]

Been awake for four days, I"m tired, but I'm not. I'll be 57 on 6/21 and for all but 10 of those years my mania was mine alone. Of course the only thing worse is depression, so I'll stay up. Since sharing with the world my "roller coaster ride" of a life, things have become easier. Yes, my barber still cuts my hair and Joe at the grocery still allows me entrance, as long as I have money. That's another story. Yes, being more open has yielded much good, including this song. Thank's Laura. PEACE.

[GoonishGoblin23]

@1samuelfour happy almost birthday :)

[rudrarrr]

im struggling in day to day life,but i dont know if this is because i have bipolar disorder or maybe i am a douchebag

[caccola939]

@rudrarrr I root for you 

[steffikaysince1996]

@rudrarrr i am having the same thing, hopefully i'll be assessed soon and they will either say i have a form of depression or tell me to man the fuck up ;)

[vanillagoat]

Am I the only one that thinks she looks a little like Anna Farris? Great song :)

[CammyS12342]

@vanillagoat nahh, i can see a small resemblence but Anna Faris looks more ditsy in a way.

[dwayne515]

this is so Tim burton like!

[lamonstruacote]

I can't stop listening to this

[caddymix024]

you ripped my heart out

[aDustBowlDance]

Interesting to see that mental illness, or possibly just a lack of complete mental stability, is an inspiration to someone so young… Very refreshing compared to the tiresome love songs we are perpetually forced to endure.

- Oh and exquisite music.

[hackettlocal]

i have bi-poler disorder. Embrace the poetry or live in a box. This song speaks to many a soul, but gives hope to a forever struggling heart/mind. Thank you artist :) you know why

[smoogirl]

@hackettlocal this isn't bi-polar :S .. or is everyone talking about the character portrayed?

[richievegas01]

Ace track. Check out all-girl group Stealing Sheep for similar English folk wonderment. youtube.com/watch?v=WIvFzQjDB0­U

[saphirbloom]

I don't know why, but this sort of reminds me of "The Picture of Dorian Gray".

[NoahAndABadger]

miss havisham?

[NoahAndABadger]

she's changed quite a bit

[lexiBeatles]

Well thank god someone remembered what music was...I thought it was lost forever.

[OctiTube]

A cousin of mine was great friends with Noah and the Whale and Mumford and Sons were in the year bellow him at school, he's also personally met Laura Marling before she left Noah and the Whale.

[BChomemovies]

Luna Lovegood?

[aknebz]

I love just how she feels.



[GiraffeWithAMustache]

i wonder if the manic is suppose to be marcus mumford...the animated person kinda looks like him

he's a fantastic person, so i hope its not him...

[DontGoQuietly]

This was written long before she was in a relationship with Marcus Mumford, so probably not. I'm positing a theory that the song is partially about herself, because of the merging of lines like 'These are the reasons I think that I'M ill.' She could be addressing another side of herself (the 'manic') and she's sang about depression in other songs.

[LadyeXo]

Do not thumbs this up, I think most people make these comments to end up at the top. Only comments about the song should go up. BUT I am totally going to jail for raping the replay button

[jennsand97]

@prettysledger thank you :)

[LadyeXo]

I hate female vocals. But her style is so fantastic. The way she works music reminds me of Tom Waits. Amazing

[LadyeXo]

@nothing980454 You know, I never really figured it out. I'm not sure if it sprouts from my complete hatred of other women, or if it's the whine that's so common in them. My little sister showed me this because she said that the "manic" reminded her of me. I do know I /really/ hate that whiny sound. That "I have something to bitch about, so I'm going to put it into song and piss you off too" sound. Fuck I hate it. And the sound of "pop" hate that, too

[LadyeXo]

@nothing980454 Just don't be fucking stupid about it and go around telling everyone you are without being diagnosed. Spreading awareness is fine, pretending to be something you aren't is irritating to those around you. If you have suspicions, go to a doctor AND don't start trying to psychoanalyze yourself. Your brain has this way of giving you what you want. The brain is a powerful thing.

[Jonadfully]

love it!

[welljer]

love the alice liddell referances :o)

[ziper2400]

Crimen Sollicitationis

[MrsDawson20]

Tanner...why you can't be single???

oh well i hardly know you i think i can tell. these are the reasons i think that im ill

[jennsand97]

Is this song about Marcus Mumford? I'm a new fan and thought I heard this is about their relationship

[prettysledger]

@jennsand97 no, it's not. :)

[DontGoQuietly]

No. Laura was dating Charlie Fink (of Noah and the Whale) before and during the production of 'Alas I Cannot Swim'.

[barbiebitch58]

she well deserved that brit award mayun!

[dreamcloud49]

why do Laura marling's songs totally sync with my life?

Absolute perfectness!

[redsawnja]

laura marling is a name you all need to remember

[nimnimx]

she can actually sing and is seriously underrated

its not fair that crap singers like justin bieber and cheryl cole get all the publicity when laura marling is the real talent

[GabMadRadio]

this song rox my sox and now i am barefoot

[cabossimn]

this is what bi polar is like finally someone who understands

[smoogirl]

@cabossimn no, this is not bi-polar

[Fluffywascal39]

@cabossimn Jimi did Manic Depression - I love the idea of sinking into a lake or a song

[LadyeXo]

@cabossimn Oh please. There are TONS of people that "suffer" from being Bi Polar.

[2MinutesToMidnightt]

@LadyeXo If I see you when I'm manic and you say that, I would brutally murder you and mail your remains to your family.

[LadyeXo]

@2MinutesToMidnightt Sounds hot, when's our date?

[rik999100]

oooooooooh yea, great artist

[madLilah]

She looks like Alice in Wonderland when she has the white rabbit statue ^^

[hordenbadboy]

you look sexy much

[kikgirl26]

I can't stop watching this video. :)

[yipshater]

musical poetry! love it! also check out a dude named Genry Gene. check out his lovely song "I'll Wander"

[GoldenTouch94]

* 3:23 sorry :')

[GoldenTouch94]

3:25 ...a smile !? 0.o

[Carosilveimar]

i love how she says "and i don't believe him". just love it.

[cincinmar]

fajne :)

[seizetheday224]

She looks like a ghost in this video...

[classicrime2]

this is absolutly stunning!

[laudese]

something about her in this video reminds of a young and much more beautiful courtney love. perhaps its the messy blonde hair and baby doll dress.

[Luckyem02]

brillant

[Cyborg1985]

i do like this video.

[PeriwinkleFox]

i think those bird are hollows

[Banoushi]

she's like Alice in Wonderland, lost in his world of a skewed reality.

[PoppyB2011]

You have no idea how grateful I am to this artist for writing this song... I laugh my fool head off every time I hear it.

[itchcitizen2]

She should tell them to stick all there awards where the sun don't and will never shine ! She was great before the accolades and she has always been, like me you and everyone else who realises this ! I hope for her sake she stays far away from all these snakes.

[PoppyB2011]

Oh my God she is pure genius!

[MrMisfortunes]

she definately deserved the brit award

[megmcl1]

@MrMisfortunes for def's :D i was so happy :3

[gymnosophy]

Reminds me of eleanor rigby only it's in 6/8. The chromatic strings descending down at 2:20 ish an tha.

[SuperWollsmoth]

She looks like Luna Lovegood!

[megmcl1]

just woow o.o song will b stuck in mt head all day >.< yay

[skullchik101]

she looks like the girl in friends who gave monica and chandler her baby..

[justine309kc]

this song reminds me of the short story "the yellow wallpaper" by charlotte perkins gilman.

[IwillMOOforyou]

beauty.

[mattyplol]

@fireboltflier you're a fucking faggot

[syrkala]

undoubtably a beautiful bit of melancholy.

though, interestingly enough, it is the minute hand that moves on the clock when she references different times.

[RowdyRacontuer]

Great song! Many thanks to "Sound of Harris" for linking me here!

[Mentieth360]

Frankenstein ... ?

[shamandiehl]

i love you, your poetry and your guitar!

[TheNeonBlues]

Definitely my favourite Laura Marling song.

[LilywingSweeneyChase]

I cry every time I hear this song. One because I've written a really sad fanfiction based off it, and also because, well... I identify with it. Being manic, not just manic but manic depressive, I completely understand where 'he' is coming from, and stuff. It's very confusing, when you're manic. For me it's like I can't really tell what's going on, except that I can, it's all really hazy and sort of... detached. Especially when I look back on it afterwards. It's almost like a head rush, in a way.

[whathelephant1251]

@LilywingSweeneyChase dido.

[TheTrivshiz]

Probably one of my favourite songs of hers.

[TheHobohack]

Clever and utterly captivating. What a sheer joy this girl is.

[antonmadden1]

love this song, sorta of reminds me of elanor rigby.

[superfunksters]

this sucks

[poizunlady67]

i love it when she moves her hand to make the ring slip to the ground and then make it sound like it was an accident lolz

[Alienne14]

it's so catchy <3 i just can't stop watching and listening to it ^^ laura is truly talented

[InsertPenguinHere]

I'm sorry, what???

[TheTsundere]

@littledarlingmarshka

that's a bloody brilliant interpretation

[Ehmiy321]

Now this is my kind of song! If I ever get into any kind of relationship, you know that I'll be the manic ;)

[Katx42]

When she says "i dont believe him" what exactly does she mean?

[youngfirefly]

@Katx42 maybe because you don't believe someone in mania. Thats my interpretation anyways

[ahmadsahmoud]

"wrapped up in all manner of sins," and i will continue to be engulfed until you come perform in Montreal!!!

- Your Manic

[cloevur1929]

I have no idea why I loved this video and this song so much. This is the first time I've heard it, and it makes me happy inside (even though it is somewhat morbid).

She's got talent.

[Aaronandliv]

Laura Marling and Mumford and Sons have helped me fall back in love with music in the last 12 months - frickn brilliant

[sgault100]

Laura Marling, you are in fact (and i know this because i looked it up) the shit. Thank you for you condensed awesome.

[MissBlackNWhite]

This song may be a little sad... but when she gave that one smile at 3:25, i swear it's one of the sweetest smiles i've ever seen :)

[Crackfox92]

She is one of those kind of artists who only gets better with time

[evamusicbomb]

I

LOVE

THIS

SONG

SO

MUCH!

[clllaaaiiirrre]

is this influenced by frankenstein..?

[linadark]

She has one of the most beautiful females voices of the dacade

[BensPurdyLady]

SERIOUSLY...... 31 Dislikes!! You All are Crazy or you just don't deserve the privilege of Watching Miss Laura Marling!!!

[EternalExpress]

This perfectly conveys the horror of loving someone who is ill to the point that you yourself lose choice and sanity

[lrhea83]

The guy in the video looks just like Victor from Corpse Bride.
