Oh yeah! Super good! I didn't realize until near the end of watching this the first time, that it's your song that you're lip synching to. That makes it so much the cooler! Very well staged, well done!

Peace,

[jeffstunes]

Good song, words and production. Beachfrontal (David) sent this to me. I must say I enjoyed it. Probably because I come across that sort of thing a lot :)

[beachfrontal]

Mary sweetheart,if it takes a comment like that to get a comment from you, I will happily make simple comma mistakes on all your videos, I am always sharing your videos when I want to demonstrate real talent to someone, first one that comes to mind for me on all of you tube amongst the millions everytime is #YOU I know of no one more talented than you JUST NO ONE and you are #CUTE

[beachfrontal]

Rebecca I hope you enjoy this one, i am not sending you subliminal messages, I just love this guy and I particulrly llike his sincerity at least in this song , it whoooozzes a shakespearian truth we are all actors.#OMG this is #CUTE

[marycigarettes]

@beachfrontal '' and I particulrly llike his sincerity at least in this song ,'' hahahahahaha....'at least' in this song....hahahahaha

[beachfrontal]

@marycigarettes One can so easily read something into anything, Mary you do not see the full picture,"and I particularly like his sincerity at least in this song, " that comma was a mistake, it had really nothing to do with Mary cigarettes's sincerity you always are 100% as real as it comes!! and that's why I adore you,comment was on going from another share, I sent Rebecca, it was all about being honest.,David.

[marycigarettes]

@beachfrontal relax! ....i just found it funny...relax...loads of love

[YThemertY]

@beachfrontal Thank my special friend David.... You always share great videos.

Thank you... I need to check your channel.:)

I really loved this one........ I needed someone different ... hahahahahhaha.

Maria

[robesondesign]

@beachfrontal

Great video. Funny, clever, creative, poignant!

I love where he stops singing but the music never stops. . . he tries to catch up. . . great facial expressions, the brushing of his hair with his microphone . . .

and of course, the deep meaning behind the lyrics!

Thanks David. . . have i mentioned what good taste you have :-)

RR

[beachfrontal]

STILL ADORE THIS , AND SO TRUE TOO. I sent this to someone by mistake to say thank you for making me a video,she must have thought I was a crazy bansheeeeee, I can see the funny side now, at the time though I was so embarrassed. how does one say sorry,in 500 characters and I was not refering to you, and it was not a subliminal message it was a mistake , but I do love the song 500 characters are not enough to straighten it all out ,

[LONGWINDING]

Hi, that´s really nice! Found you on Tim´s week channel, thought I should have a look! great stuff, I sub!

Best wishes, Frank

[Lauriewriter]

Your video brought a big smile to my Friday!! Super brush singing!! What if mics were in the shape of a brush, so when they sing, they can pretend they are practicing at home? Just a thought. . .

Laurie:-)

[marycigarettes]

@Lauriewriter thanks laurie ....pleased to know it made you you smile

[beachfrontal]

Oh but when I do...

i shouldn't be this happy!! ; )))

[readtomdotcom]

Hi Mary, I have a book of poetry on top of my channel. please download it. You will appreciate it. I think. this is a youtube classic. This is wise beyond its years

[Halkios]

awesome Mary; I love it!

[Juliatendre]

[zighaiwan]

[DebsFavouriteThings]

Great song :)

[artmaniac53]

coming again and again in this brilliant song and takes it's beauty into our hearts!

THANK YOU MARY!

[leftysergeant]

I think that the hairbrush really says a lot. You capture well the idea of a man who wishes to present himself as more than he really is. The exaggerated gestures and facial expressions are a riot. An absolutely brilliant video to drive home the point of the song.

[Shaunh99]

Perhaps we all need to spend 10 minutes every day looking in the mirror?

[AsWeGoHomestead]

Great tune, thanks for sharing this one!

[avisualfeel]

I've burned many bridges in my life/ always seem to be hanging by my nails/ like falling into an ocean of ice cubes/ & when I re-emerge, I like to swim fast because its frigid, but what the hell!

[funkypixie1]

Mary ,I keep comming back to this one. You are like a magnet. really do love it!!!xxx

[SeaShellAnnie]

cool jazzy l like it

[warshhhh]

excellent work again..the lyrics and arrangement !

a perfect depiction of everyday societal drama crap ;) (that we're all a part of at some point or the other, however rebellious and nonconformist we'd rather be).

[Poemsapennyeach]

Cute voice...

[MrChubbleyWarner]

Yeah, that was a fun vid about something we all hate - Pretence and Ego massaging - burning bridges that probably weren't even there in the first place! - yet we will all continue to do it! : D

[kylemarney1]

OMG this song is going to give me nightmares.LOL! Good job :-)

[guitarrx3girl]

really really great song....just lovin the hairbrush and lyrics....yeah this one really does deserve a YT trophy....***** thanks to Kathy for the share:)))

[streetspiritlive]

Everyone's Lovin This!

It's a kind of Trophy!!

Full of Cherry Bombs!!!

[ladiesrock83]

[stevevox1]

Great, strange song but very your style, you have an interestingly wild mind, the content being fitting in well yeah personally I gave up on trying to please folf a long time ago, thats why Im broke haha :)))))

[ricmalbex]

My comment below was meant to address a different video...what a fool !! Sorry.....

[ricmalbex]

Bloody hell !! I really got into that !! One emotion running through into another.

I loved the Keith Moon reference......I always thought there was a similarity in the Working Class hero video......

Excellent !!

Thanks.........

[Cameragirl803]

LOL..This was cool!! Really made me smile;) great job with the video!!! *****

[marycigarettes]

hahaha... thanks jane

[streetspiritlive]

Oh Man!!!

You make such catchy music videos!!

n i love so much music by the tons!

But guess what's the first song i hear in my head when i wake up...

Love, Marianne

***** n then some!

[keefek]

Splendid!  I adore this song.

[marycigarettes]

thanks kathleen...thanks loads

[streetspiritlive]

You're mostly right babe!

Like 98% of paramedics are male...

some females,

all be it in the minority.

We're always sweet in any case...

Nothing to forgive

Live n Learn ; ) !

[streetspiritlive]

Thanks Mary...

actually i'm female...

Hope that doesn't spook you too much!

Some women have Attitude.

But i believe that if it weren't for us...

There wouldn't be much to this life that we are

let alone the world as we know it lol!

Cheers dear!!! ; )))

[marycigarettes]

hahahahaha

youre a paramedic..and i had an image of a male paramedic..but of course there's as many female parmedics as males...silly me.....dont know why i had you down for a male..its not like youre rough with me ..if anything youre very very sweet..forgive me

[streetspiritlive]

Purrrrrr

[marycigarettes]

[Chicojamal6]

my 10th time listening to it, the music and the lyrics and the performance are great!

[MrCatstail]

Another great song Mary, one I find myself playing again and again and again........

[TINMANschannel]

back for another listen my friend,cant see my last comment ,thats y/tube for ya,

you never fail to suprise me g8 subject this,one of the best videos u have made mate,

ps i love reading the comments on all of ur vids ,ur friend Alan

[geoff1945]

Great video and knowledge of the music industry (yes I read the sleeve notes) I appreciate your comments about truth v kindness and agree with what you say but please don't visit my channel because I really don't want the truth!

The look in this video reminds me of that unpopular X Factor winner.... Oh what was his name?

[marycigarettes]

do you know..i've actually never watched xfactor......ever....but i'm strangely comforted to know i'm compared to someone unpopular from it.....glad you , ike it geoff...and refreshing to see geoff spelt as geoff,for a change,rather than jef

[geoff1945]

Good point. I used to watch it when it was funny. It did have its moments.

Thanks for complimenting me on my spelling too but lets leave it at that and don't check out anything else about me!!!

[marycigarettes]

too late geoff! hahahaha.. but for the record,we love your channel.

[geoff1945]

Grrrrr!!!

[desrio]

Another excellent song (to say nothing of an original and witty video). I can't believe that it's 25 years since I first bought a Gregory Grey record - I Feel Like An Eskimo by Perfect crime, since you ask. I still have it, it's in excellent nick and I'm going to give it a spin now. Keep up the good work, Mary!

[marycigarettes]

oh blimey...you have eskimo?!...that was supposed to be a b side..i didnt like it...but the the thing that ended up being the b side was the thing i was into... 'no drums' .... i wish i had an mp3 of 'no drums' ...it freaked everyone out at the stupid record label.can you make aqn mp3 for me desrio?

[desrio]

Being a bit of an analogue bloke in a digital world I have to say that I can't. However, the next time I see my brother in law I will take it over with me and will happily make one for you. I heard recently that you don't have a copy of 'Think of Swans'. If that's true would you like that copied as well?

Des

[marycigarettes]

it's true..i didn't have a copy of 'think of swans' till last year when someone kindly mp3'd it for me..i hadnt heard it in decades and nearly cried..some of it is quite good...so yes..that would really really sweet of you to mp3 'no drums' for me..i'd love to hear it..and if you have'brave' and the extended mix of that,i'd love to hear that too..but 'no drums' would be fine..... wow....thanks desrio!!!!!!

[streetspiritlive]

toast n crystal, good n bad

blah blah blah blah blah

It's all the same!

just stuff!!

n that's just the way it is sometimes...

i pray you burn more toast n smash more crystals lol! ; )

*****

[SalfordWill]

'You don't want to burn any more toast...blah blah blah blah'

Having read many of the previous comments and agreeing with some most whole heartedly, I have to say, the ending of the song is just great. Totally fits well with the song's content.

X

[marycigarettes]

i'm so tired of burning the toast will...the scary thing is...somewhere along the line,more toast will be burned..more glass will be smashed....some of that bad old glassware needs smashing...some of that toast was so stale it wasnt worth eating...but sometimes good crystal gets broken,and good bread goes up in flames,and thats no good at all....loads of love.

[leftgreenthumb]

hahaa! Loved this!! Great character :) Awesome lyrics, Mary! blah blah blah blah blah. ;)

xo

[marycigarettes]

thanks joel.....glad i made your good self smile.

[andrewnorris1]

Actually, you remind me more of a young Hockney.

No shame in burning bridges, it just means that you gotta move onwards. No one can hang onto all the baggage one accumulates but if your dilemmas inspire such quality work then I say lets have more of them. But therein lies another problem for you. When you produce such wonderful songs everyone wants to be a part of it, have a part of it and that is when your 'nice side' gets tested, I'm sure Angus went through something similar.

Best as ever.

[marycigarettes]

andrew, i love david hockney...those new things he's done,now that he's returned home are great.......the big forest thing..its terrific...and i really like his personality ...he seems the sweetest man..never lost his bradford accent living in california for all those years.

[alexandraxxxxxx]

ops I meant trend LOL..silly me

[alexandraxxxxxx]

what a fantastic vid/song ...many true word...god I can relate to this...;0)

hehe love the glasses did you know there all the trent at the mo...ask my teenage daughter..she went to a rave wearing them ...lol..

mary your so unique....smiles xxx

[sistermoonshine13]

What kind of a mic is that :)))) Nice lyrics, AWESOME tune!!!!!!

[streetspiritlive]

Gad's, What a Star!!!

[cinderellalifestyle]

[marycigarettes]

thanks laurie....you know i've been loving your music all summer long...and now its winter,your music will warm me even more....stay well talented princess.

[keefek]

"all my life i tried to be a really nice guy,but it's killing me"

Darlin', that says it all. No further explanation is needed.

[streetspiritlive]

Me Too!!! : )))

[funkypixie1]

Loved this!!

[SanDiLee21]

Came back for another...fix. Your performance on this song is brilliant Mary. Many kudos and thank you.....

[acdcs500]

great lyrics! great video! *****

[marycigarettes]

thanks!....i love ac/dc...i met angus once in 1977...they were still on the way up...it was in his holiday inn room in london.....a sweet tiny talented humble hard working guy..love that band.

[TheDaveFrom1952]

Great song Mary, with lyrics that many of us can relate to. Thanks for sharing.

[marycigarettes]

thanks for sharing your time dave.

[loopyone73]

So true Mary, it would be so easy to get to the end of our days, look back at what we've done and find that we faked half of it. I'll be honest, I do it every single day... I just find life that little bit easier that way, less messy if you know what I mean. When it comes to the music there's no point faking it which is why I've never learned anyone else's songs, those feelings belong to someone else. Waffling now mate, shows you've got me thinking again (it hurts). Wicked track Mary. *****

[marycigarettes]

yeah...we flip between faking it and being real.....but we can only fake it for so long..there comes a point where we need the company we can trust and relax with...so then we get real to blow away all the fluff in our lives so we cab breath a little.

i often learn to play an amazing song,just to learn....to go inside it and see what makes it great and easy to sing....and sometimes they're singing something that i feel also.

[mario64bits]

You're hot stuff man, even when... you're faking it! LOL

And you seem to enjoy so much what you're doing, wich is priceless.

Great microphone, though :)

[marycigarettes]

youre right mario....i really really love doing the music...cheers man!

[mario64bits]

Hey, did I mention you also have a superb voice and excellent lyrics? (even through the two-sided brush!)

[missyA1958]

'Great fun song Mary, and the message is even better. Bravo to you for always being true to yourself!*****

[marycigarettes]

thanks missy...i see you got stevie nick up on your channel...i love her...her voice and character evoke a lot of mystery...i love her when she sings 'sara'.... and 'storms' i play those songs on winter nights when i'm padding around the house in my pyjamas.

[vegasdaddy17]

Excellent Mary...Great tune and Vid...and Brush/Mic!...lol...Billy...

[marycigarettes]

thanks billy...good to make a fun loving man like you smile.

[ladiesrock83]

This is so catchy, it gets on your brain, darnit!!!!! I had to feature it ♥

[streetspiritlive]

You're more than welcome Mary!

You're more than right about mikee and tim

You're more than right about the creative process...

You're not quite right about head above shoulders...

Creativity actually usually takes a ton of work sweat and tears

and sometimes its so easy, once you figure it out, its almost ridiculous!

This looks easy, but was a ton of work.

While so many of us artists, visual or musical strive...in that we are all equal!

very very few are heads above like you!!

Love, m : )

[ladiesrock83]

I don't know you of course, but I'm crazy about your vids, I love reading your info and your sincerity and talent to get it out there.You're one of a kind, Love this !

[marycigarettes]

and i'm crazy about ladies who rock in their forties gina.....i have a lot in common with you,even if i am fifty....we lived through the best decades of music......your son is a lucky musician that he has his mums record collection and attitude to be influenced by.

[fendermac]

You seem eminently substantial to me.A provocative and beautiful song.

[marycigarettes]

hi paul..i think we're all substantial weather we like it or not..even when we dont know it or choose not to be..the hard bit is tapping into it...there are days when i'm just the worlds biggest twattybollox...i'm gonna go over to your channel to see if you found that job youve been looking for..i love your conversational approach when youre on camera. a lovely guitar player who i hope ends up on one of my songs one day...i gotta get into a peter green groove for it..that could take a while!

[zappatero7]

About a year ago, when I was a normal YT-user, I wouldn't have imagined to find something like this, that's artistically so high above the average charts stuff! Really exceptional.

[marycigarettes]

very very sweet of you to write and say so mister.....youre such a fine singer...a total natural...always in tune..and you just love singing..it really shows...and that martin acoustic sounds fabulous when youre recording it....great to hear from you.

[BigLoveZone]

It's lovely coming back here for another listen/watch/experience. I wish I had the time to read all the comments and such...your videos have some of the most interesting exchanges. I think you make people feel very comfortable to express things.

[marycigarettes]

i like to talk bobbie...over time i get a sense of the people around me....i definitely like the exchange....its not passive,and it's head and shoulders above watching television...to a large degree we've all replaced television with the dolly-net...we can learn things here from each other, rather than be passively entertained.
