[JaneLearmonth]

Poignant and so true. I'm sure Philip would be delighted by the new life breathed into his poem by the rare and talented 'Mary Cigarettes'!

[NightmarishGuy]

When I started to listen, I was ready to hate it. But I have to admit, you did an excellent job with it.

[MarxBakuninMe]

Not bad actually.

[davidgrahamscott]

Thought I saw Sebastian Horsley in the background there

[marycigarettes]

i know you and sebastian both successfully pushed a terrible drug out of your lives....congratulations...it must take huge courage to undergo the ibogaine treatment....i felt very happy for you watching the last moments of your documentary ,as you walked free out of the house where you had the treatment....and i loved little carla...you're a great film maker

[davidgrahamscott]

Thanks for that! Carla was great but passed away a year ago unfortunately. All will be revealed about old Bast when they make that film about him.

This is exquisite work...loved every dimension of it...bravo!!

[PoetLina]

A multi-skilled interpretation of this poem. Bountiful in its integrity.  I'll bet somewhere up there Mr Larkin is smiling. 5*'s and favourite.

[twohawksfucking]

Superb rendering of Larkin. (Love your voice: the travelled feel it carries like a sweet burden of some sort.) Wow...

Roy

[lloydhywel]

Thankyou thankyou David Randall Curtis for bringing you into my visiting vista.

[bigbeninjax]

Ah, but then there are some who say that insanity is hereditary....you get it from your kids. LOL Enjoyed the vid, the backwards nature of it could have a double entendre.

[marycigarettes]

yes!!!..that's another side top the coin for sure...kids can do just as much damage to parents...very good point

[LeSaMilano]

wow - marvellous!

[heistguy]

Hi, discovered your music after you left a kind comment about me. I gotta admit, you could of called me an asshole and I would still have to admit you are a very talented dude. Great to connect with you

David

[marycigarettes]

thanks david..i'm very happy that i have other people like you who work in these fields watching my work...there's a lot things wrong with these times,but to live in the digital age is a thrill for creative people.

[heistguy]

Great to connect with you too mate. Yes I agree. We are in dark times, but at least being able to create cheaply and connect with others kinda levels things up. Were not all lost and fucking nuts! Well, (smile) You know what I mean! Will continue to follow your work man

[araneus1]

Excellent.

The footage is perfect........... love the slowed down effect, and the B&W.

[nordicsky]

Hi,

Firstly, thanks for subscribing to my channel. I'm trying to work my way through all my subscribers and take a look at their work but I never seem to have enough time.

I'm glad I checked out your video. Setting this Phillip Larkin poem as a song really works; it gives it certain poignancy, as does the film. I'm straight down the line but seeing him/her out doing her thing and enjoying life brought a smile to my face.

Life is good

Regards, Peter

[marycigarettes]

yes...life is good..thanks for writing peter.

[eclipse1501]

a piece to be proud of friend.

[marycigarettes]

love on ya!

[paultinsel]

beautiful vocals i love your stuff

[marycigarettes]

and i love your little friend 'tinsel' ,paul...that one where she's nagging you to diet is so luvable....more more more.

thanks for watching.

[harleynanda]

I do agree, my friend; your singing is delightful. But I would also agree that so is your playing, and here it lends a wonderful touch of reserved melancholy in support of this great verse.

[marycigarettes]

i'm very lucky to have my little comment box filled with your encouragement,michael..thanks for your ears , eyes and time...so glad you enjoyed it.

[EdMuirton]
