Lady and Bird - Suicide Is Painless

[sambrylski]

I forget to blink, or move much at all, while listening to this song. I get the same from "These Days" covered by St. Vincent, "Bella Ciao" covered by Anita Lane, and Gordon Lightfoot's "If You Could Read My Mind".

Anyone else have any others like this?

[gamerrants]

Sounds like the theme from MASH.

[thecclproject1]

@gamerrants Because this was the original version of the song......

[moncicaalexandra]

... no words... this tune is so sad, but is amazing...totally! :)

[usuqamadiq]

This is what it reminded me of:

en[dot]wikipedia[dot]org/wiki/­Religious_views_on_suicide#Bud­dhism

In fact, I am a buddhist who loves M.A.S.H.

[damnucartman]

hey i like this song and im not suicidal but if you are then think of it like this EVERYONE IN THE HOLE WORLD has hectic days and when you do don't mean you kill your self over it don't commit suicide like when a football team don't win the suer bowl that team went through that hole thing and lost at the very end they didn't kill their self did they?think of it.

[BlistElk]

This is the prettiest version i've heard of Suicide is Painless.

[darkridr25]

Those who scream "don't do it" are a bunch of liars. They pretend to care so that, later in life, they can say to everyone "look at what a great person I am." No matter how much our technology improves, humanity's trend towards cruelty never changes -- it is merely hidden under a veil of self-righteousness designed to serve the self-righteous. Anyone who doesn't believe me can see the proof by seeing what the trolls write.

Nothing shows our true nature like anonymity....

[Chris36237]

It's strange...

I always feel better after listening to this song.

[GEROXIDA]

LIke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Reliancedred]

Those who commit suicide have lost all hope of living and so taking own life is best way out for them as they think. Sad but true.

[donnahide]

Yeah, I understand originally basically this song has been for serious wounded soldires who are brave for fighting for weak people...Despite brave, there could

be many times that they can't stand pains of wounds..So,the song tells normal people that seirous wounds has made soldiers feel hoping suicide....War is SAD. So, we must undestand the song doesn't recomennd suicide...

In addition, Watch MASH's funeral scene...The end of scenes is obvious for us.

No one did suicide..

[HUSKY57887]

Not as good as the movie version,but much better than Manson's version.

[themcbirnie]

no, sadly most people dont care, think about people with no friends or family.

and in some places were i live if you ask someone if they would care if you killed your self they would prop call you a fucking emo cunt and then kil you anyway.

what im tyring to say is for some people NOONE cares im pretty sure if i died no would notice let alone care

[MCrazygirl666]

Suicide isn't painless. Don't do it, please. Talk to people, ask stranger on the street if they'd mind if you'd kill yourself. Scream, yell, cry, kick the hell out of a pillow, but do NOT kill yourself! There is so much worth living for! There are so much people who love you or who'd be able to. People DO care. I care. that's one for sure. If you feel the need to talk to someone I'm always here for you. Please, you won't only hurt yourself by committing suicide.

[oaanaa]

@MCrazygirl666

you're right in some points of view.. but trust me people really don't care, there are too stressed by the hectic days. but I ask myself everyday when we will realize that spending time for someone is having time for yourself; you always kill yourself too late, so it is better if you don't do it. In the end... the strenght and trust is in ourself, deep inside there is a power which will activate us ..

[MCrazygirl666]

I don't agree with you on the "people really don't care" point. There are always people who care. (Most of the) humans aren't heartless robots. Some of them ACT that way, but really, if they'd see a complete stranger on the edge of a high bridge or something, they'd try to stop him.

By the way, I think that it isn't a person's fault if he/she doesn't see a way to continue living. A human has such a big power, the will to live is so strong, it can only be killed by society.

[oaanaa]

they care, but on surface, just on surface. they don't care when a person, the soul needs the countenance, the back of somebody else.. just SEEMS to care. everybody is afraid in creating an inner connection and when are close to bend it, they draw back.

The central idea is : do not kill yourself, right?

[MCrazygirl666]

:) indeed. I often think people don't show themselves enough. We all have way to many masks. A mask for talking to your grandmother, one for your schoolmates, one for at your sport, on for your parents, one for this, one for that. I don't think I've ever seen the real person beneath.

People act so cold these days. Indeed as if they don't care about the rest of the world and the people living in it. Maybe we're just scared of the reactions. Don't kill yourself ;)

[oaanaa]

;))

I won't do it. was a pleasure to talk to you :) nice one, huh?

[MCrazygirl666]

:) a great pleasure indeed.

[muttbutts]

@oaanaa

I agree. No one cares.

[zephyrshilo2939]

this is where i disagree. it could be considered painles if you think about it. just a few seconds of pain and then its over with. no more lies, no more things to worry about, no more bad thoughts, no more good thoughts, no more laughing, no more crying... you get the point. i think suicide is not only thinking that no one cares about you, but you'd have to not c are about anyone else. killing yourself will cause others even more pain than you.

[einsamkeit13]

@MCrazygirl666 don't give shit! I just killed myself yesterday.

[antyszwed]

@MCrazygirl666 yea yea, it's just talking, you'll try hard, you'll get some new friends, get a job, you'll lead a pretty nice life, and quess what? depression still apeears, even when your relationships and generally life are OK:( and I don't kill myself because it's as meaningless as life-I'm just waiting, mocking at ordinary people, trying to have fun in this ridiculous universe

[contemptLOVESsilence]

@MCrazygirl666 When you have an incurable disease and a pain you can't stop, you have no choice... I suffer every day and it's not my power, it's my weakness. I want to live so much, but I can't because of my body.

[BrettNSez]

[oaanaa]

[bestdjintown]

[zephyrshilo2939]

[TheJooveenylApproach]

[nex89]

Whoever reads this gets my dick up in they mouth!

[wonkarope]

@nex89 wow you seem like a really cool guy

*sarcasm*

[nex89]

Eat my wiener

[musicguy9384]

You know if you've been wondering why you dont have any friends...

Stuff like that might be it

[JoyCeLy4ev]

amazing

[molkoholic3]

sad beautiful...

suicide is really painless...

[dijonjr]

FABULOUS... You both did a fantastic job and should be very proud of your talent.

[HypocriticalSin]

Lulz. The people who sing this song isn't the person who posted this video. Sorry :[

?

[brawlerbarbie]

Wow. This is a really nice version of this song -- I grew up with the original by Johnny Mandel.

[Yufixme]

Marilyn Manson did it so much better.

[SykoChicken]

Marilyn Manson can go suck off a horse. Stick to his own genre and stay away from songs that don't deserve to be besmirched by his awful singing and awful style.

[DracoSongi]

so harsh man. The song has the same meaning, no matter who sings it. And if the song was made in this time and date, it would be dark rock like Manson, so think about it. Is it wrong for him to make a song of such a great time to a new age in the correct way? I rather have him sing it then Nelly or Jay-Z

[Sonjay718]

Yeah, he should've left this song alone. Manson didn't do it justice. He just took all the subtlety out of it. The beauty of the original was that it sounded cheerful, despite the grim lyrics. Manson turned it into a gothic mess.

[Leslieeeedxo]

couldn't have said it better.

[HypocriticalSin]

I agree

[darkridr25]

@Sonjay718 I rather agree with you, but I would have to say it is more accurate to state that he made it his own song. Where the original was meant to show ironic cheerfulness, Manson wanted to pull as much emotion out of it as he could. I try to think of the two versions as completely different songs for that reason.

[mrsandman32]

Perfectly beautiful! Made me cry.

[AijinShitai]

the lyric is depressing, but somehow the song gives me a good feeling.

[aries4561]

this a strong song and it is so true

[oaanaa]

depressing, but this is true.

[Edyisium]

The lyric is very depressing
