[sonofwalt]

My absolute pleasure, good sir.

[sonofwalt]

Oh, MC. This is so inspiring, and beautiful. Thank you. It is refreshing to see art done expertly with tender hands and a voice that is encouraging without being the least bit maudlin. "Let it dig its own grave." Perfect. How did you get inside my 11 year-old head?

[marycigarettes]

@sonofwalt i'm an eleven year old too ! 

[sonofwalt]

@marycigarettes haha, I could tell, a kindred spirit indeed. "No one can touch you if you have nothing to hide." So many incredible lines. I just faved this video and facebooked it as well. Posting it to my blog next.

[marycigarettes]

@sonofwalt oh my!....that's too kind..thank you.

[RonIrelandmusic]

This is amazing! Thank you to Suze for sending me here. Who is the actor? He's wonderful! The music is excellent. I don't say this often: Dude, you should be famous.

All the best,

ron

[rhopen]

Another fine, fine song and video. A friend sent this to me, thanks Suzze, and thanks to you MC for your truly inspired music, lyrics and performances. -Ron

[postmodernmonk]

Big respect for this and all your art. I listened toyour song 'When the music turns into..' on BP Fallon. Any chance of seeing it on here? It's been singing inside me for days. x

[marycigarettes]

@postmodernmonk if you like, you can send me your email privately, and i'll send you an mp3 of my song 'when the music turns into money'

[sneakyuploader]

@marycigarettes Yes its good that we can respond to people, some of these artists on here dont seem to reply to anybody. I suddenly realised about the video response feature to you, silly me. yes having a good weekend , many thanks ♫

[liketelevisionsnow]

such a beautiful melody .

the lyrics are stunning...

[marycigarettes]

@liketelevisionsnow that's a lovely thing for a singer songwriter to be told...thank you.

[guitarsix6]

thx tinman for this share it is really awesome a big thumbs up

[marycigarettes]

@guitarsix6 thank you!...here's to a world full of beautiful electric guitars

[humphrygoldenballz]

Axe polisher extraordinaire.... thank you Señor Cigarettes!

[marycigarettes]

@humphrygoldenballz i am that very onanist for sure.

[SanDiLee21]

@marycigarettes You are just marvelous, I keep watching this video over and over and the lyrics i find myself singing all day..... Awesome ;)

[marycigarettes]

@SanDiLee21 so glad you enjoy it sandi... it makes my day to read your kind message

[humphrygoldenballz]

@marycigarettes Onanist? that's a big word... I had to look it up. They obviously learned you well... my teachers never mentioned such a term... it was probably too close to the bone.

[marycigarettes]

@humphrygoldenballz yeah...and i've invented a word...'transonanism'..that's when you get your jollies off at the idea of morphing into the very thing you fancy...all those contrived macho types on the gay scene would be an example....'transonanists'

[humphrygoldenballz]

@marycigarettes like the macho icon Onan the barbarian....

[marycigarettes]

@humphrygoldenballz yes...the prototype for a self fulflilling prophesy

[scones097]

All good music should circulate around in the ether, subliminally get inside you, enrich and nourish, and set lightbulbs off in your head and caress the soul. This is just sublime, real "travel through life with you" music that makes whatever kind of journey we are on better, richer and more moving. Mary Cigarettes, you are SUCH an artist, one at the peak of your powers. The world is a better place as a result of you and your music

[marycigarettes]

@scones097 we can never know where people were at their peak until they die...its only then you have the qualifying overview.....who nows what tomorrow brings?!...i was once told i was at my peak at 24 years old...it unsettled me terribly ..the idea that this is my best and tomorrow will be beneath the peak...i want to be trying my best till the end....all the same...youre very sweet and kind...it means everything to me when i get the kind words like you've just written.i love you 4 it.

[mft1234]

big thumbs up

[marycigarettes]

@mft1234 thanks mike!

[gherkamum]

Love it

great vid

terry uk

[marycigarettes]

@gherkamum thanks terry

[stevemularz]

Awesome Video !!! Thumbs way up !!!

Steve:)

[marycigarettes]

@stevemularz you're a trip steve...i just watched your channel and enjoyed your 50's groove a lot......more!

[anne5surf]

What an amazing composition, and highly original, fascinating video. What a guitar! I must thank Tinman for recommending your channel.

[marycigarettes]

@anne5surf you're one cool lady anne..i just checked your channel and subscribed..love girls with guitars singing johnny cash

[vegasdaddy17]

Fantastic Mary...Terrific song and Vid...Nice of you to dedicate it to Wild Ed(another of my favs)...take care man...Billy...

[marycigarettes]

@vegasdaddy17 thanks billy...you're a doll......thing is,i love the vibe of ed.

[cinderellalifestyle]

Mary--my kid walked in and said, wow, what's this!?..."he looks like G Clooney and a little like R Downey"....LOL...I had to laugh,,,scrolled down to see he is not alone...I say just HANDSOME, forget the others....3:14 SLAYS ME............I melt..that voice, the lyrics..the whole enchilada,..just so incredible......;-)

[marycigarettes]

@cinderellalifestyle it blows me away that folk think i look okay....before i posted,i worried that the sepia colouring made me look like i had liver disease!...and i look at these things and just see myself getting older and older,so its nice when people approve....i wonder if your son will become a musician like his mother...he's blessed to have a mother such as you.

[roadbiketraveller]

Back again.

well, it's just so good.

.x.

[marycigarettes]

@roadbiketraveller thanks julia.y'know i can willingly spend a lifetime on the song,but the joy of videos is they can come together really quickly,and i'm blown away that someone like you would even come back for a second gander.

[TINMANschannel]

sharp sharp sharp,looking cool... look out Clooney there's a new kid on the block,

seriously though this song goes into my top three on youtube,with superb lyrics and i am lovin the power of the backbeat,its the sound that makes me get of my arse and play guitar more,

what a stunning Gretsch ,,,Alan

[marycigarettes]

@TINMANschannel thanks alan...some people told me to be careful of the gretsch...that they can be problematic and cumbersome,but i love mine...it tunes beautifully,and when i plug it in,it's just*there*....i waited a lifetime for that guitar...i love your 335...blonde..just like lennons...love it.

[TINMANschannel]

@marycigarettes yeah i heard that too,I have never played an electric one but tried out an acoustic once and it sounded fantastic but i found the neck to fat for my little fingers,

I have just shelled out and i mean shelled out .lol .

for the new model gibson j 45 custom acoustic sunburst cant wait till it arrives

Alan

[marycigarettes]

@TINMANschannel i know the j45...proper songwriters acoustic...its nice

[marycigarettes]

@ivebeenthere1 hi gary....great to hear from you again..i see youre a willie deville fan...a friend of mine produced the last four albums of his before he died recently...his slow songs are so haunting and gritty....but even as a kid i loved that uptempo one'spanish stroll'....now that's a cracking single....thanks for writing gary.

[leftgreenthumb]

YES! He's BACK!!

Beautiful, inspiring song!

Lookin' good too, my friend! :)

[leftgreenthumb]

@marycigarettes Thank You, kindly! Slowly learning this software and still writing as usual :)

[AvirtualSwitzerland]

This guy looks like a cross between George Clooney and Robert Downey, Jr.

[marycigarettes]

@AvirtualSwitzerland never heard of them

[AvirtualSwitzerland]

@marycigarettes ....SERIOUSLY ?....what rock have you been hiding under for the past 15-20 years?

[marycigarettes]

@AvirtualSwitzerland i don't give out my address,but i promise you,it's a pretty good rock to hide under.

[swellmusik]

[marycigarettes]

@swellmusik yeah baby

[Cameragirl803]

Wonderful! job!! Great range! Thanks Ed for the share:) Creative job with the video too *****

[marycigarettes]

@Cameragirl803 thanks jane

[avisualfeel]

Like Cocteau into a mirror I run/ on the other side is u my dear/ life twinkle of your eyes/ no bridge to burn this time, but arches to form/ silver backing krinkle foil of my mirror's blood runs dry.../the barriers of truth...subconscious rattle...no flags to follow...together we rise.

[marycigarettes]

@avisualfeel cocteau???..now he was quite a guy....a great writer and i love his drawings too

[marycigarettes]

@avisualfeel cocteau???..now he was quite a guy....a great writer and i love his drawings too

[nordicsky]

Hi Paul, This puts me in mind of Marcel Marceau...except it's more fun.

It's good to see your work again, it reminds me of the need to put quality and flair into my work. As for the lyrics...well, as usual, they are spot on. Encouraging others costs us so little.

Life is good,

Kind regards, Peter

[marycigarettes]

@nordicsky paul?!....hahahahaha....it is actually my middle name. for some folk encouragement costs them their pesky competitiveness...their spite....their envy...their misplaced fear.....as oscar wilde once said 'it's easy to sympathise and encourage someone who is down on their luck,but it takes a true individual to sympathise with someone's success...i always loved that.

[Rubberbandgirl75]

Can't stop watching this , the sound of your voice and that guitar is beautiful....

[Rubberbandgirl75]

Can't stop watching this , the sound of your voice and that guitar is beautiful....

[marycigarettes]

@Rubberbandgirl75 you have bill viola on your page!!!...he's one of my favourite modern artists...his video work is so beautiful..i've been to many of his exhibitions when his work shows in london.

[Rubberbandgirl75]

@marycigarettes... Isn't he wonderful ?... I aways missed him when I lived in London,I'd love to see his work "in the flesh" .

Oh ...And I still can't stop watching your last video... ;)

xx.

[loveyoutodeathbut]

This sounds like it has been brewing for a long, long time.

It's inspiring and bright and your voice never sounded so good!

[marycigarettes]

@loveyoutodeathbut you're right...i had been kicking the song around in my living room all winter...chipping away at it,and then one day in the summer i recorded it over a few days.

[PoetLina]

"Naked" genius! That suit hides nothing.

So glad you're back, "showing" it all again :)

[marycigarettes]

@PoetLina i know lina...those camera lenses reveal everything,no matter how we decide on our delivery...it's a strange thing...we cant really hide the tone of our spirit....all our weaknesses , strengths and conceits are ruling the picture.fascinating really...you can see why some folk get knee deep in photography.

[cogermax91]

excellent !bravo

[marycigarettes]

@cogermax91 bravo marie alix

[deboeahshasha]

[boogpatton]

Neat vid man! well done :)

[marycigarettes]

@boogpatton hiya boog..i love your channel.

[marycigarettes]

[SanDiLee21]

I always look forward to watching one of your creations, you never disappoint. this is a song that everyone can relate to.....I know I did. Thank You.

[marycigarettes]

@SanDiLee21 thanks sandi...such a nice thing to write and say..thanks my love.

[andrewnorris2]

I have never seen you looking so dapper. It has been a long time coming but since your writing is just unlike anything else I guess it needs time to mature. Worth waiting for. Touching and poignant your songs are so original yet its like you tap into commonly felt experiences. Beautiful...I am on my 4th listen. Next time can we see you play that wonderful guitar.

[marycigarettes]

@andrewnorris2 thanks andrew...i'm finding that decent suits come in handy as i get older...a way of showing time isn't killing off the spirit,without looking like i'm trying to look young and trendy or something.i hadnt posted in so long cause i just got caught up with absorbing things and just sitting and playing and singing for the sheer sake of it.lovely to hear from you dear man.

[appletreefairy]

My friend shared this to me.

I cannot believe I am watching such expression so beautiful in my own home.

thank you

Pip.

[marycigarettes]

@appletreefairy what a lovely message to read?! thanks so much

[marycigarettes]

@appletreefairy thanks pip..it was a lot of fun putting that music and video together

[appletreefairy]

@marycigarettes

Yes, I can imagine this.

I watch some others of your videos now I find your channel.

I have not much time here and it is quite confusing.

My family life is apples, ever apples. is why I am called "pip" from school so long ago.

I know your amie Julia, we danced like the mime you do all the time.

[marycigarettes]

@appletreefairy you have orchards,pip?...that would be a great life.

[appletreefairy]

@marycigarettes

yes I have orchards

mais, it is not such a great life.

I have terrible hands from this great life.

and always to be up in the morning with watching the bugs?

I hate the chemicals but it seems we have to go there to preserve our life?

[marycigarettes]

@appletreefairy it sounds very tough pip...really hard work..i hope there's pleasure and friends at the end of the day....i wish it for you.

[appletreefairy]

@marycigarettes

all life is tough, hein?

there is pleasure and friends at the end everyday here in calvados.

and then there is the cider...Oh yes, apple trees make the cider, yes?

you like the cider?

praps not.

[marycigarettes]

@appletreefairy i dont drink cider pip,but i do drink calvados...it's my favourite brandy...i even have a friend who before putting grapes into his salad gets a medical syringe,and careful injects calvados into the grapes...it makes for a very unique and brilliant salad.

[appletreefairy]

@marycigarettes

D'accord,

I will bring to my little Julita some calvados for you and for your salad.

WHEN I am next in England?

no! - I am not there, but she comes to me many times.

and soon we have some calvados for you.

[marycigarettes]

@appletreefairy kind and lovely lady.

[MidiPunk]

It's great to see you posting video again, and being able to say so.
