I don't think "Oh No!" is supposed to be sarcastic. She spends the whole album criticizing society for forcing people in boxes and then in "Oh No!", she acknowledges the irony in the fact that in searching for herself, she's boxed herself into one archetype. She regrets that in doing so, she's had to sacrifice other parts of her life.

oh yeah, this one is WILD. The lyricism here is just pure perfection, I just love how honest she is in this one, the same kinda of honesty that she puts on Froot too. And you're right, ADIAML totally feels like she found this sound again in so many levels, wich is just amazing. Great reaction, cant wait for the rest of her discography!

Guilty is a song based on a dark dream Marina had. In the dream, Marina was trusted to watch a wealthy friend’s rare dogs. Every time she tried to pick up a dog, she would break its legs. She could either tell the owner and face the consequences or lock them in a cabinet to die. She chose to let them die. Instead of facing the reality of what she did, she ran from it and suffered the guilt in secrecy. Now it seems when she’s looking back, she regrets how she handled the aftermath of her actions. Dreaming about dogs is symbolically associated with loyalty, intuition and protection. Maybe the song is suggesting how losing familial love due to certain ambitions and ways of thinking has caused guilt/resentment and she realises this is wrong. There are many alternative interpretations to this and i don't think Marina specifically revealed the meaning of the song. Anyway, i enjoyed your reaction! I can't wait for you to react to FROOT!

"Mowgli's Road" was the starting point for me, such an incredible, complex and mature song, to think she wrote and recorded it when she was only 24 is just mindblowing 👏👏

NUMB is one of my favorite songs by Marina. The “I’ll light up the sky, stars that burn the brightest fall so fast and pass you by, spark like empty lighters” really really gets me. Like even on the way down she’s going to keep trying even as her stars fading she’ll keep flickering cus that’s just the type of relentless person she is. I take that lyric with me everywhere since the first time I heard it like 10+ years ago

i was waiting for "Seventeen" :( such a good song, and shows how she sees her relationship with her father but yeah, this album is such a masterpiece, lyrically perfect!

"Cause I feel like I'm the worst so I always act like I'm the best. If you're not very careful, your possessions will possess you." 👏👏👏

People keep saying how Electra Heart is the anti Marina but I always interpreted it as it being a twisted version of her darkest side, Electra Heart could be Marina and for me this album confirms it

I think 'Rootless' is beautiful, but you're right, it's sad. There's often an air of sadness around her :( I hope in time she finds that place you call 'half and half', where she can be herself and also connect with others.

Numb might be one of my favorite songs of her.

I’m so excited! I love your reactions especially for MARINA ❤️

So cool that I found your channel and that I get to re- fall in love with some of my favorite albums and artists.

I recently discovered marina! This album is awsome, and i'm not really a pop listener for the most part. But marina proves that pop can be dark at times, and thought provoking. In this album she reminds me of PJ harvey for some reason, because of the rythmic thing (and her super expressive attitude. reminds me a lot of rock music)

I'm glad you enjoyed the album! I started listening to Marina ages and ages ago and watching this was not only a fun trip down memory lane but also really reminded me how much I enjoyed some of these songs. I'm the type of person who when I find an album I like I play it so much that I get burnt out on it and seeing family jewels through a pair of fresh eyes was really nice

Ok I could be totally wrong, but here is my interpretation of Mowgli's Road: I think the song is about how society influences peoples decisions. The song is about someone who grows up having people (symbolized by the silver spoons) all around them basically whispering in their ear and trying to influence their decisions and lifestyle. They keep telling this person that being individual is wrong and that they'll be the happiest if they just follow the norm (thus the line, "I have been told that I must take the unforsaken road.") The person continues to be influenced by society until eventually they realize that they've degraded to a state of "monkey see monkey do." They realize they are no longer making their own decisions and are just subconsciously going along with society and doing what what is "expected" of them without giving it any thought at all (the line: "We (the spoons aka society) scooped our way into your brain to knock the knives (individuality) out bloody cold and lead you down the unforsaken road). The person realizes that they don't actually know who they are anymore, and only know the version of themselves that society has created. It took me quite a while to finally fully grasp the meaning (at least what I think it is) of the song, and it's actually quite an upsetting song that addresses modern issues including the affect social media has on people.

YAYAYA I love your reactions! And marina is awesome.

🙌🙌🙌 Been waiting for this one :D Loved your reaction to mowglis road especially. It has always been one of my favorite songs of all time and my fave of the album and it is just bonkers and weird and yeah. Gotta appreciate marinas lyrics and sound. Gonna start waiting for the next album now hahaha

So excited!

YAASS MARINA again!! ✨ For me Obsessions is her best song

Awesome reaction! I love how you pay attention to details on this one. Can’t wait for your reaction to FROOT🖤

Not you actually mimicking the Oh No music video! :D I love you! Been spending a lot of time with your videos, and enjoying it a lot!

your insights on the songs are so clever and deep. it's hard to find that that in reaction videos

i could listen to your accents forever LOL such a calming voice AHHH

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS AH!

Love your reactions! This album is a masterpiece and because of it I didn’t think she could do it again until ‘Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land’ came out. I don’t think a lot of people understand the concept behind ‘Electra Heart’, which wasn’t about her “selling out” although I understand why on the surface it may be perceived that way. In ‘Electra Heart’ she’s personifying different archetypes of society in each song. However each song has an ironic/comical undertone which points to the fact that Marina is actually doing her good old fashion-political criticism, the album was a parody on society. Will keep watching your videos, stay blessed. 🙏🏼

Um dos meus álbuns favoritos do década❤️

YESSSS more marina pls

I love this album sfm!! It’s absolutely wild.

Luscent: I live that she talks about this in a pop song. You don’t hear that often do you? I’m here like: I think that rings true to a huge portion of her discography

Yes Dan I knew you'd like this album all her records are insanely different yet cohesive but this is the most similar to ANCIENT DREAMS. Mowglis Road will always be one of the most unique and amazing pop and pop-rock songs I've ever heard it still gives me goosebumps till this day haha. yess oh no was a single the music video is like pop art and so good.

Loveeeeeeee marina!!! ❤️❤️❤️

DUDDEEE!!!! I’ve been telling you to listen to this for years!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I knew you’d love it and I can’t believe you never got on board in like 2009! 😂😂.

Hermit the frog is actually about Marina's "first time", but is dark cause the person abused her

Personally I think this is Marina's best album by miles, Electra Heart is second. I think Love + Fear isn't really worth listening to as its way more collaborative and it results in everything being really watered down. I think she explores her general themes best in this album, I looove it, I listened to it a lot as an early teenager and learnt chords to sing songs from it, so it hold a special place in my heart

i think rootless is about what she felt when she was with her father but your analysis is good too!!

I love that looking at this album alone you can see why she is loved by queer people. Like, on a genre level, it plays a bit with hyperpop, a genre created by trans people. And in the lyrics, she is unabashed in her criticism of the world, and so herself while she's at it. I love it.

Waiting for FROOT!!

aaaaa waiting for love+fear reaction now

I can’t wait for your reaction to froot. My fave albums by her. Though I’m yet to listen to her most recent one 😅

seventeen and the family jewels are great songs as well but yes, its not available in UK streamings saddly

I love this album and froot the most, but Love and fear was really refreshing to me. Because i was kind of at the same stages in life, when she released her music, and At the point of love and fear i could relate to overcoming a lot of things and growing (up) as a person. Love and fear almost disappointed me at the first listen , but then I really loved a lot of songs and sang them under the shower😊

Guilty is quite literally about a dream as she states at the beginning of the song. People with depression tend to have dreams about hurting animals and hiding bodies and feel guilty about it. Also she doesn't have a good relationship with her dad.

Love your reaction, Marina is unique and I love that you like it! when you can react to Froot 🙏🏻 I'll be attentive to your music ✨

Dude ur voice is so asmr its crazy

I love numb λατρεύω το numb I’m from Greece 🇬🇷

thank you for reminding me of her, I just listen her new song, her voice is unique and lyrics is badass

You should check out either "I Never Learn" or "Wounded Rhymes" by Lykke Li!

waiting for "after school" next pleaaasee...... ❤❤❤❤❤

The family jewels song from this album might just be my favorite, it’s existential and brings this whole album together, a song about breaking the cycle of abuse in her family

Shampain (Shame-Pain) if u didn’t catch on 😌

i've always thought of hermit the frog as the name she gave her inner saboteur or her depression. it takes hold. breaks your heart and hits you when you least expect it. it drags you down when you stand still and you always feel like it's bitch even when standing up to it. at the end your glass balloon will shatter too soon, over and over.

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Please react to Jessie Ware's "What's Your Pleasure?" album!
