  • It's 4;00am.I can't sleep cause I worry some here and there, then I find this beautiful video...I ain't going to work this mournin', I'm gettin' on my bike! Here's to all my brothers & sisters and the thousands of bikers that I've waived at on the highway and partied with at the rallies. Love you all.

  • i lived in the mojave california desert for a couple years in 78-79. these lyrics are tops, wish i knew someon from tijuana. this one gets better with multiple viewings..he's right, this one is special,, i'm just a guitar hack...

  • I had forgotten how good this was. I tracked down Paul Mealor's email he did Ubi Caritas (the best bit of music for the last royal wedding) just so I could send him an email (It went along the lines of "I hope you know how good you are") I'm not big on searching out people, I love great music and if you don't take the bother to tell people they are great why would they keep doing it.

  • @spudcustardx1 that's such a heartwarming thing to read on this freezing tuesday...it's a funny thing.. getting encouragement is really helpful,but i've learned not to depend on it...the audience is powerful thing,it jumps around and quite rightly doesn't always have time for what the likes of me are doing..it would drive me nuts if i depended on it..so when kind word like yours come down the line,it's just pure encouragement..so thanks...very cool of you to write.

  • There was a time when I REFUSED to straddle anything other than a Harley. A friend finally convinced me to ride with him on his Crotch Rocket, and I can say with COMPLETE conviction, it just AIN'T the same, baby! Mary, NO ONE can beat the honesty and purity of your lyrics. You are a GOD among men. XOXOXO

  • dear mary this in outstanding ...your voice is captivating ...cool video, Id love a Harley lol...

  • @alexandraxxxxxx you'd look GREAT on a harley with your long flowing hair....it would suit you.

  • Billie go Billie Go Amen! ; )))

  • This is great! 

  • This still sounds incredible 4 months on!! - it's def something special man...

  • Nice job - the film you put together compliment the song very well. Loved it man, very original and well done all the way around.

  • Beautiful voice...sweet...!

  • I've listened to this many times now and it always has the same powerful effect. Thanks much for posting this.

  • Truly fabulous Mary. I love this track and the video has a wonderful pace to it, dreamy and mind shifting stuff. Yet another amazing addition to the Canon that is the great Mary Cigarettes. xx

  • That purest voice ... thanks for sharing emotions. That feeling inside that magic , you're lucky to have that gift.

  • Excellent sights and sounds :))

  • You breathe life into the heart and soul of the music .... top drawer stuff!

  • @LittleMickyFingers so did you! ... we both did.

  • This is the best track! Its Americade 2011 here right now ( Lake George, New York) and the bikes are amazing! Im going to pass this along because this song is amazing :-)

  • @GMPNY thanks Gail..you're a sweetheart,and i'm thrilled you enjoyed it so much.

  • what a great tune

  • Amazing track Mary! It's one of my favs of yours now .. :) lv the video btw.. so cool.

  • @SimonBellTube cheers simon..i love the people in that video....they're as real as it gets and with loads of character..i had a really nice day shooting that....i'm working on a completely different type of song right now....been listening to a lot of old 1960's type mid tempo ballads.....gene pitney...glen campbell .

  • @marycigarettes they are as real as it gets Mary.. ive been there for a while.. all good times.. I'm looking forward to hearing your new songs Mary.. i love that period.. cheers buddy.

  • "I want to die with a million miles on my meter". i want to die having written a million lines like that.

  • @PoetLina you already do!

  • this is quality stuff my friend...melody reminds me a little of 'For Emily...' by Simon and Garfunkel...and I mean that as a compliment - beautiful vocal here as well!

  • @MrChubbleyWarner i love simon and garfunkel...i played their hit singles on my little record player A LOT as ten/eleven year old...it still sounds fresh as daisies today...love them!

  • your vocal range is so impressive

    I did think the phrasing was unusual for you untill i read the discription

    but all of that just adds to the song, which is briliant by the way

    looks like you had a great time there

    your pal Alan

  • @TINMANschannel thanks alan...my vocal range isn't so impressive...the golden rule for me, is to always sing WITHIN my range...that way the listeners doesn't have to suffer hearing where my range ends....keep on with that lovely 335 of yours.

  • Anytime I'm feeling introspective, I go directly to my subscription list to see what marycigarettes has for me. I don't know how I missed this when you first posted it way back in April, but I'm delighted to have seen it today. You're one of a kind Mary, and I LOVE YOU for it! XOXOXO

  • @metamorphicmuse very very sweet of you.....*smiles*

  • These guys have a life style of their own...I was driving from post to post with a fleet of them recently in France....

  • @xyzllii life is so good sometimes,isn't it?....i would like to become much more familiar with paris , and start using that eurostar train more. xxx

  • @xyzllii The was actually 2 fleets of them. We first met them at Ponto de Hok...then again at St-Maria-Eglise then at a cafe /Garage and finally Cherbourg Ferry...all just by chance.

  • @xyzllii  pure romance!

  • Damn, I missed this one. Wish I'd seen it back then. I think it was a Wednesday. I was out on the open road; can't remember where, but in the States somewhere. You're right, this is fluid. The sound gives the sense of shimmering heat as it rises off the road and distorts the view of distant objects. Another great work. Thanks.

  • @RichardRoy2 it's a kick to read how you perceived and described that ,richard....thanks!

  • fascinating...

  • @Brazilady  it was a really nice day, and a chance to record some singing.

  • the land of wildcats, pioneers, cowboys, dreamers, outside the boxers. I think it ever was.....an amazing package, beautiful song (sound working this morn)....I knew it would be "perfect":-)always get the goosebumps, and welly eyes ...my gauge of great...

  • so cool, and I have no sound.....got hacked, and now sick again...sometimes my sound works,,,not here, not now, the vid is wonderful cinema....you've a gift for that, too!! love the sunbaked bikers n babes--super desert setting...they come in all shapes and sizes:-),,,people watching does not get much better than this;-) tnx for lovely comment, too, my friend...;-)

    XOsLaurie

  • @cinderellalifestyle california ,laurie......you folk have a lovely way about you.

  • Wow, love the ethereal music, the song feels and sounds like a dream. It's all about the dreams though Mary and you bring that across more than anybody XXX

  • @SalfordWill hi gorgeous..i keep thinking about coming up your way to see you boys....i've been having a bit of a bollocky ride lately...i hear ste is moving...you'll be missing him....are you blogging anywhere will?

  • Wonderful, wondrous Mary. These lyrics make me smile. Faved! It's weird to think we have both been in the same place, but I guess it's true. I'm there, or there abouts, every year.

  • @tinySpectacle if i saw you there i'd take you to that old crumbling melvyns place for cocktails, and we would talk talk talk...but judging by that clear skin of yours you probably don't drink..and that would be cool too...in which case i'd take you to the viceroy for salad and evian.

  • @marycigarettes Ahh, what a lovely thought. And the clear skin is just genetics.

  • Wow, this is wonderful, must watch again. Thanks much for posting.

  • Cool

  • @xyzllii smokin!

  • Hi Mary Love the visual and sonic feast this song provides to the listner/watcher. The cool music/vocals married to the hot desert images of the bikers is perfect. Made me dig out my old Robert Fripp albums. Take care.....Davey.

  • @LefthandDavey so you know that david sylvian/robert fripp thing 'gone to earth'?...i used to play that record in the middle of the night when i lived out in the farmlands of norn iron....michael's thing on this reminded me of it so much,but i wouldn't be surprised if michael hasn't heard that record....hope you're well davey... are ye getting a ride?...are ye makin a pound or two?[well thats what they used to ay to me in portrush all the time]

  • A classic for the ages.

  • @TheCarlo66 thanks carl..keep singing your heart out...youre a fine singer.

  • Went through the whole spectrum of emotions in three minutes, you are a master of your craft. I was going to say something else but can now only think of fried cherry tomatoes on toast.

  • @MidiPunk hahaha..thanks pete...fried cherry tomatoes on toast are great...butter the toast well...fry the tomatoes in good olive oil...a little dried bazil...and only use the cherry tomatoes..

  • Beautiful Mary! And the song too! :p Your voice is in fine form as always and I like the haunting feel of this... faved on put on my fb page :p

  • @DavidRandallCurtis that's real sweet of you david...love it that you pinned it to the facebook.....i'm still flipped out how our collaboration turned up on the NME website...i love the thing we did there.

  • Spectacular!!!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!!!

    Greetings – Dj Mario Afonso – Rio de Janeiro – RJ – Brazil

    I love music, dogs, human beings and nature.

    Much music, health and peace.

  • @afonsomario yeah?!...i love BEING a dog... humans make me wee wee,and i like eating fried cherry tomatoes on toast.

  • beautiful video, beautiful bikes. Thank you for sharing this.

  • @FindMeInKurume cheers!...real kind of you to say...i love that lincoln continental or whatever it is in the background of your channel...

  • @marycigarettes Thanks man! I miss riding, had 3 bikes in Canada and went riding across the west coast of America few years back. Your video reminded me of the best days I shared with friends riding around and relaxing. All the best, looking forward to more of your videos, is that your music? pretty cool stuff =)

  • @FindMeInKurume maybe those days will come back round again..the thing i've noticed in the desert is how many people in their 60's are biking and really enjoying it......in mild weather it suits...people maybe grow old on what they grow up on! ...that's certainly how it is with me and the music...yeah , the music is me singing..its a co-write with a guitar player called michael owens...or 'little mickey fingers' to his friends.

  • @marycigarettes really cool, if he has as YT channel I would appreciate his channel name, I would like to subscribe to him too. subbed you cuz of this video, and another one I just watched. As far as riding again, I need to get working on that, living in Japan the transportation is really convenient, but I do need to get a bike here for sure. All the best to you! I will be watching for new vids from you! Take it easy and if you ride keep the rubber down brother.

  • @FindMeInKurume his channel is called ElemeFF,but he is not there very often.he is away doing a film editing course....leave kind words for him for when he returns..he would like that.

  • i was in a biker gang in my teens ,,,until at the age of 17 i discovered bowie ..i always wanted to ride with the usa angels

  • @xxpiggystardustxx i always wanted to ride with mary poppins!

  • @marycigarettes click the heels of your ruby slippers together  ,,think of tinkerbell ....your wish is granted :)

  • From 'Rebel...' to the Village People via Easy Rider the imagery conjured is a barrage.Close my eyes and listen to the stunning sounds and the gorgeous voice....aaah! That's it......

  • @fendermac yeah..dennis hopper..eagles...gram parsons...and regardless of his englishness, john martyn too....and most of all...THE YEARS....much love to you paul.

  • Fab footage, great atmosphere in your song to match. Easy excellence..

  • @dashpoet easy is a great word,isn't it?..i've been in pursuit of it all my life..i love the idea of hard work resulting in things feeling and looking and sounding easy ....especially with music.....much love to you mark....and thanks as always.

  • I really loved your other 2 collabs with LMF... this is yet another wonderful insight into a beautiful mind. On my second listen and it's getting under my skin now, in a good way. I expect nothing less than brilliance when I stop by both of your channels... I suspect that I'll never be disappointed. Love it! =)

  • @TheSoulOfMisterE  you're a sweetheart...a friend here with me has just giggled at you saying i have a beautiful mind....i've just been pulled down to earth and told that my mind is like a sewer.....maybe we can be both.....big smiles on this sunny day to you paul

  • @marycigarettes I'd like to think.... or perhaps secretly know... that both is certainly possible. It takes all sorts mate and sometimes I'm all sorts too... sort of. =)

    Enjoy the sunshine, Mary... have a great day. =)

  • Luv it! Brilliance! Sensational vocals, music and video! Wow! Sticking a camera in biker's faces...Your a braver man than me, dear Mary!

  • @EdMuirton hahaha...they were cool ed...i knew mostly when to put the camera away...later in the evening in bar i would have LOVED to have got it out,but i knew not to even ask ...they were really cool..once you get talking, and they get a sense of you its fine.... loads of love dear man...so good to hear from you.
