Marina and the Diamonds - Obsessions



Link.

Fav lyric: I want to erase every nasty thought that bugs me every day of every week.
we've got obsessions
you never told me what it was that made you strong and what it was that made you weak

Marina & the Diamonds has a voice that kicks some serious ass; it's low and dramatic, with an accent and lilt to it that makes it beautiful - it's vulnerable, shaky, and ridiculously strong. The background noise and hissing whispers purposely falter the song, working to create a kind of organized chaos. It's just a hot, hot mess - the kind whose OCD-riddled lyrics make a synonym of the title, and you end up just as obsessed as the words intended.

Reminds us of: Amanda Palmer
