Marianne Faithfull - Paris Bells (1965)

[vonroon23]

The set is interesting. In the early 60s, before psychedelia, they often favoured stark, modernist sets like this one. I wonder who designed it.

beautiful very beautiful french romanticism 60s music, very passionate, romantic, seductive melody

[haidian123]

Whoever kept their voice or youth or beauty? Age changes all of us. If you have true, inner beauty (= strength of character?) it morphs into an older kind of beauty, is all. If you find Jesus, you find true grace, which is not visible to the worldly eye, since the worldly eye discounts it in favour of money

[swanstep]

Wow, that's a nice song. Interesting how all these early vids with Faithful were shot. There's a long shot (during which you think 'get closer damn it!')and then, bam, an intense ultra-close-up. Something like this pattern is then repeated. The overall effect is obsessive and seems designed to create obsession.

[ruthie10101010]

So pure back then.....beautiful Marianne.....

[Nulanula]

@ruthie10101010

Pure?? Ha ha you gotta be kiddin'. She was worse than Jagger before he became worse!

The problem with Marianne is that her 'pure' looks mislead the gullible into translating that into pure character.

Not judging, though, coz I'm a fan of her honesty and survival.

[thestevo46]

[grabledl123]

I have this on vinyl, her first album. I have played this as much as I have Revolver or Pet Sounds.

[JRAJ5XXA]

[simonbath]

[ROoooo80]

Marvelous

[danieljosephleo]

Belle.

[MsBHoopingAllure]

Such a beautiful, clear voice...just wish she had kept it that special quality.

[ModGirl1967]

I find it all the more fasinating that her voice changed so drastically. Truly one of a kind.

One word comes to mind regarding Marianne Faithfull: SURVIVOR.

[KaptKan1]

Her voice changed so drastically due to drugs and alcohol. She fell under the sway of that swine Mick Jagger and was too young and naive to keep her head -- or her voice, youth and beauty -- more's the pity.

[69freeman]

@KaptKan1 and here you are again blaming jagger-you're a nitwit.

[casadyrocks]

@KaptKan1 I doubt she would agree with your evaluation

[posthumanhero]

@KaptKan1 so not true........quite the opposite according to the interviews with her

[mauvetys]

Paris! la France! :)

[astralhed]

...all is beautiful in Paris from what i hear!

[lowther58]

Have not heard this music for many years. It seems so simple a piece but yet is sung beautifully.

[Listen2UrInnerMusic]

Everything about this is beautiful-Marianne, the song, her voice...thank you so much for sharing!!! I love her so much =)

[ssballs]

There were more "starts"that The Beatles.She was huge,and still so tasy.Thank yoy for posting!

[sapphiretaurus]

Yes, we know that. When people hear screaming girls on these clips where a female singer is performing, it does strange, as they associate it with male performers.

[Ianpbx]

Wonder why girls are screaming at the start? Did The Beatles walk past?

[bandmasterj]

No, they're screaming because they all wanted to be her.

[crazedwitch2]

Never seen this before. Thanks for posting.

[NormxJane]
