Shirley Manson - Lighten Up (Video by Andy) (with Download Link)

[6aokan]

Guys,who's playing the guitar?Is it Shirley?

[BattleFitReno]

Not making Shirley's solo album was about as good a decision as Fox cancelling Family Guy

[63thejack]

i love your work, andrea! ;-)

[LaserBeam002]

First time hearing this one. Thank you for posting. I loved it.

[fightclub1537]

My teenage crush. Gorgeous!

[AgnieszkaF117]

[AgnieszkaF117]

OMFG !!!!!!! :') beautiful

[wayneoh33]

hmmm i keep going back to this song during the no garbage days......great vid too:)

[RepulsionGel]

I can't believe work like that was rejected. Pfffft.

Also the video is great! You used the documentary footage very well.

[wayneoh33]

Beautiful song....Beautiful SHirley:) Thanx

[blue222blue]

Wow, this video is better than 90% of what you see on MTV and VH1.

Great song please Shirley give us more!

[VenoilTM]

Beautiful

[VenoilTM]

Beautiful

[missJaneBug]

beautiful

[ScienceProjek]

Her demos for her solo work are very gloomy and blue. She needs to amp it up!

[missKeila1985]

her solo works are a bit different from the garbage's..the songs are a bit lighter.. the garbage's are a bit heavy, dark, different.. but just the same i cant possibly not like anything that comes from Shirley and the Garbage. unique and tasteful music. yum ;) cant wait for something new from them.

[missKeila1985]

love it it's genius!;) thank you for this! love Shirley..am so addicted to her and Garbage..

[RocknCorruptrepublic]

why should she lighten up? happy people are chemically unbalanced :D

you know, she should put her solo stuff/demos as bonus tracks on the new G album :D or something... they should be released somehow..

oh, and I agree with Appoldro :D

[shirlrita]

thank you i can't listen to them in her facebook..

[andrea111292]

@shirlrita Nobody can, there is a problem...I hope they resolve it soon so that Shirley can post new things!

[LongDistanceCall11]

Oh. This is powerful. Thank you.

Nostalgia is pleasant sometimes. I don`t share pleas for Garbage to come back though, life goes on, and I like what Shirley does today very much.)

[Heliosphan15]

wonderful video.

this album is gonna be incredible!

[realrazorbladejake]

shirley would be proud if she were to see all the attention her fans still give her...FANS FOR LIFE...maybe one day we'll see a new Garbage album on the shelves!

[aidaartist]

I'm really glad Garbage is getting back again- though this song is great! The video too!

[Sitdogboy]

Love it! All of her solo music is so damn good, I wish she would release more. (Btw, I thought it went "I'm quite happy, do you wanna do it?" but I realize I was wrong, lol

[RocknCorruptrepublic]

hmm... simple, but intricate. I like it. :)

[hugozal]

Great Work Andrea!! :D Perfect vid for a perfect song :D

[hugozal]

Great work Andrea!!! Perfect vid for perfect song

[Themaninsynk]

Fuckin' awesome.

[IHateStalagmites]

Awesome fucking lyrics, awesome fuckin' message.

Nothing but the best from Manson.

[LissaChelle9002]

@IHateStalagmites: Would you expect something less from someone with a good head on her shoulders?

[IHateStalagmites]

@LissaChelle9002

O'course not!

[aline2040]

I hope she comes out with a new cd soon love your work Shirley keep up the work

[tembra8]

Wow until today I didn't realice that the lyrics of this song are so brilliant

[betodamasio]

lover her

[steinka1]

where did you get the videos from garbage backstage??

[TheCanadianPrairies]

@steinka1

The footage comes from the documentary the band released on the DVD of Absolute Garbage, which also comes with many music videos! I'd recommend it to any Garbage fan.

[steinka1]

@TheCanadianPrairies THX! that's what I thought. i already ordered it but they can not deliver it at the moment :-(

[TheCanadianPrairies]

@steinka1

No problem. I'm always glad to help out fellow Garbage fans. I have my own copy myself. Got it from Best Buy, XD.

[steinka1]

@TheCanadianPrairies cool :D do you have any other hints for garbage musts?

[TheCanadianPrairies]

@steinka1

Any of their albums is a must. The Absolute Garbage compilation (two discs; one is like the Greatest Hits but with Number One Crush and the second is a remixes only CD) is also a must. That's as much as I know. I wish I could find more Garbage material but I can only get so much in my city. Damn. I'd love to have a tee shirt or something.

[steinka1]

@TheCanadianPrairies ok i also have all of them and many bsides and some live and acoustic songs. i am always suprised where adrea gets all this stuff!!!

can't you just have a tshirt printed? i did it in my city, brought a pic from shirl and there you go =)

[TheCanadianPrairies]

@steinka1

You have B-Side CDs? I hate you, XD. I wish I could get those. I'd love to blast Betcha or Happiness Part Two on my stereo....

[steinka1]

@TheCanadianPrairies betcha is on itunes!! i can load the tracks on mediafire and send you the links so no need to hate me anymore ;-)

[TheCanadianPrairies]

@steinka1

No. It's alright. I got them all already. I just wish I had a physical CD, XD. I am a collector of CDs (even with an IPod, which I like to call my all purposes radio)

[steinka1]

@TheCanadianPrairies :D i got them from a friend of mine on a burned cd not an official one. but i understand - i am also a collector of CDs (have bought the why do you love me single 2 times because of bsides!)

[TheCanadianPrairies]

@steinka1

I own plenty of CDs of my favorite groups. But if there's bonus stuff out there I don't know about, I must be notified so the collector in me can hunt them down and add them to the collection. It's not just Garbage CDs I'd love to collect.

[steinka1]

@TheCanadianPrairies yeah i know that very well!! have a good day!! cu :D

[gracesuzi]

@TheCanadianPrairies I made two B-Sides CD's by ripping the audo off of downloaded YouTube videos. Yes, I know that is a little greasy, but it is still great. I listen to them over and over in my car.

[andrea111292]

@gracesuzi You could have asked me, I have a free HQ mp3 collection of Garbage b-sides and remixes!

[Xenu]

Beautiful, beautiful song.

[FabianL2007]

Awesome song :)

[Viviennexx]

Ciao Andrea, potresti dirmi oltre a 'in the snow' e 'lighten up' quali altri demo sono stati rilasciati da Shirley? Grazie davvero per il tuo splendido canale!

[andrea111292]

@Viviennexx Un altro che si chiama Pretty Horses e lo puoi trovare sul mio canale! Grazie per i complimenti sul canale comunque! :D

[malnecesario1]

Thanks Andrea. You're a genius.

excellent video work Andy; you should be Shirley's video director! What a song...my cover list grows longer everyday!

[andrea111292]

@larosity I wish I could be Shirley's director =D Thank you :)

[larosity]

[andrea111292]

Thank you very much! I didn't know when i asked you for this video how soon you would have it done, but that was done quickly and yet the video is beautiful!

[theworldisnotneough1]

I loveee this song, and the words are so amazing.

I loveee her, she is such an inspirational artist. Also, the video was reallllllly good. It looked so professional!! :D Good job!

[MsGia91]

I think this is the most beautiful song i've ever heard. I almost cried when i first heard it, & i don't do that very easily. Gr8 work andrea!!! This vid suits the song perfectly, i loved all the footage, its perfect. And Thanks so so so much 4 the link!!!! now i can hear it and cry like an idiot as long as i want to!!! lol

[sexyjefflynne72]

Oh, I love it. Thank you thank you thank you, Andrea! :D Interestingly enough, this song found me at a perfect time in my life... that's why I love Shirley and Garbage. They're there for me to fall back on. They're always there for me, even through times where it seems like no one understands me.

Thank you for such a beautiful, fitting video. I knew I could count on you.

[jfhburr123]

Nice one Andy! I'm adding this one to my Garbage playlist. Your videos always look SO professional. I don't know what I'd do for my Garbage fix if you ever quit Ytube. I think I have more of your videos on my channel than anyone else out there. Rock on brother! ;D

[andrea111292]

@jfhburr123 Thanks! I hope they never close my channel for any copyright issue.. =D

[butterfly90s]

Wonderful, uow! =)

[andrea111292]

@butterfly90s Thanks! :)

[jtarantula3390]

andrea, did you notice that the lyrics go along with her recent post on plastic surgery on facebook?

"you say I should just sell out, show a little skin, find a famous boyfriend..."

this has to be fairly recent. thanks for the vid

[andrea111292]

@jtarantula3390 I sure noticed that, I don't think it's recent though, the title of this song appeared also when the titles of the demos that Shirley made leaked in 2008. Shirley always had this kind of issues...

[Appoldro]

Please DO quit your daytime job and get a job in the video business. They need creative and talented people like you.

[subbuteo18]

@Appoldro completely agree, andrea you rock!

[andrea111292]

@subbuteo18 Thanks to you too!

[andrea111292]

@Appoldro I appreciated it so much, thank you really

[lawrence4566]

Holy Crap this actually looks like an Official Archive Footage video. Well Done. Short song, but beautifully meaningful.

[andrea111292]

@lawrence4566 Thankks!!!!

[CarlosDRMX]

loveeeeeeeee it!!!

the slo motion for all this happy moments are simply amazing!

wonderful video for this wonderful song

[andrea111292]

@CarlosDRMX Thank you!

[WoodRatGirl]

Stunning song.

[andrea111292]

I hope that Shirley one day might have this kind of dream and wake up with the kick to start the band again ♥
