If Numb and Buy the stars had a child
Those are my favorite Marina songs (along with Solitaire and Fear And Loathing) so it's no wonder why I'm obsessed with this.
It's like a The Family Jewels version of Buy The Stars. I love it!
currently binging old Marina songs to remember the time when her music was the only thing that got me through middle school
you and me both. I spent my AWFUL seventh grade year watching Harry Potter and listening to Marina!
:). I'm so unbelievably proud of her..I cant even begin to explain what a positive impact she's had in my life.
I guess Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a trick to get back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid lost the password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
Starlight should have been on the album for sure. It's perfect.
Magical sound
3:27 wow ok I’m crying
Stars and love burn bright,
Till they’re ready to die.
The broken spend their nights,
Staring at the sky.
You, oh, you had a sad urge,
To be wanted by fools.
Welcoming girls that would be,
Snoopin', troopin' enveloping your family jewels.
You chose to grow your nose,
'Cause deep down you knew I knew,
You knew I knew, that I’d up and run quicker,
than you could come
They said I was too good for you.
Wake up little Suzie,
It’s bad news when you hear a guy cry.
You spilled the beans in January,
Timed it perfectly after your granny died.
You knew I wouldn’t shoot a man when he was down,
Well done Pinocchio you told a lie.
I wouldn't take advantage of a cut up heart,
You’re such a vulnerable type.
You tell me "I’m so lonely,
Won’t you hold me?
Stars shine, only
But it's only
light.
Oh, old light, it’s been dead,
For a long time,
Long, long time
with time, time.
Stars and love burn bright,
Till they’re ready to die,
The broken spend their nights,
Staring at the sky.
Now it's time to bury the hatchet and bury it deep
you've a massive heart but you're a fucked up kid and we sow what we reap
Woah, 'cause we grew up a solitary souls
Sometimes it’s better to be on our own.
I need time just to roam, roam, roam,
Find a place I can call home.
Love is like starlight,
Even when a star dies.
You can still see it shine,
But it’s only old light.
Oh, old light, it’s been dead,
For a long time,
time, time.
with time, time.
Stars and love burn bright,
Till they’re ready to die.
The broken spend their nights,
Staring at the sky.
Oh, If love enters your life,
It leaves a stain inside the sky.
And this will lead you to believe,
That it is still alive.
But it is just old light,
Completing it's last flight.
Across a velvet night,
Stars burn bright till they die.
love bites in the sky,
Love is like starlight,
love is starlight
marinaaa stop making me cry
remember her feelings are associated with colors she can see colors it's amazing
Numb's lost twin
Ah, another great song from my early teens. Marina's absolutely fantastic. I really like her voice, it's so good and so interesting. I could see her in a group, she's got something really special about her. I think if Marina and the Diamonds was a band, I could see her as the lead singer.
*Shivers* Marina doesn't have one less-than-amazing song. THIS NEEDS SO MANY MORE VIEWS!
OMFG SO MANY DIFFERENT DEMOS OF STARLIGHT IT MAKES MY HEAD HURT I WANT ALL OF THEM HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO LABEL THEM IN MY PHONE
One of my favourites :)
There is something so eerie, creepy and depressing about her old music, but I absolutely fucking love it ❤️
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever. She wrote and produced on her own too
God I love this so much
1:40
When she goes ”oh-old light” my soul gets reborn. Idk why Bb-F-Gm has some kind of hold on me since i heard this song for the first time
This one is such a precious secret diamond.
She ate
This goes hard
Why isn't this on an album omfg she just needs to put all her ones that didn't make it on the albums on this big huge one 😍👍
jewelled froot She said in an interview for Grazia Italia that she might make an album of her unreleased songs.
bestie literally manifested elecrta hrart platinum edition... nothing but respect
this is such a beautiful song. it really helps me see the truth behind some people.
I keep coming back to this song in particular for some reason, it grew on me and now I wish she officially released these gems 💕
I have a tattoo of the lyrics of this song: Love is like starlight, even when a star dies you can still see it shine, but it's only old light. It represents to me that love is always there, even when you cannot see it or feel it anymore, is always shining. Definetely a sad era, it was years ago lol. But i am happy that i sort of remind myself of seeing always the bright side of a broken heart
I love how each of her songs tells a story. This is a beautifully sad song about a failed relationship.
I stand by this being her best song
This song is incredible
some heavy kate bush vibes. love it
UMM WHY WAS THIS ROBBED OF BEING ON AN ALBUM
Nihil Ego well I wish it wasn’t a secret
Why the fuck isn’t this on Spotify
It was supposed to be on The Family Jewels but i'm pretty sure she wanted it to be free of any songs related to love. It got replaced by Numb.
Stars of love burn bright
Till they’re ready to die
The broken spend their nights
Staring at the sky
You, oh, you had a sad urge
To be wanted by fools
Welcoming girls that would be
Snoopin', troopin' enveloping your family jewels
You chose to grow your nose
But deep down you knew I knew
You knew I knew that
I’d up and run quicker
Than good boys could come
They said I was too good for you
Wake up little Suzie
It’s bad news when you hear a guy cry
You spilled the beans in January
Timed it perfectly after your granny died
You knew I wouldn’t shoot a man when he was down
Well done Pinocchio you told a lie
Why would you take advantage of a cut up heart
You’re such a vulnerable type
You said: I’m so lonely
Won’t you hold me?
I’m so lonely, come close baby hold me
Love is like starlight
See it when a star dies
It continues to shine
But its only old light
Oh, old light, it’s been dead
For a long time
Long time, with time, time
Stars of love burn bright
Till they’re ready to die
The broken spend their nights
Staring at the sky
If love enters your life
It leaves a stain inside your sky
This will lead you to believe
That it is still alive
But it is just old light
Completing it's last flight
Across a velvet night
Stars burn bright till they die
Like love bites in the sky
Love is like starlight
Love is starlight
I took all our favorite songs
Played them and I made them my own
I went to our favorite bars
And I drank in them alone
Woah, 'cause I’ve grown up a solitary soul
Sometimes I think it’s better on my own
I need time just to roam, roam, roam
Find one place I can call home
Love is like starlight
Even when a star dies
You can see it shine
But it’s only old light
Oh, old light, it’s been dead
For a long time
Long time, long time
Stars and love burn bright
Till they’re ready to die
The broken spend their nights
Staring at the sky
If love enters your life
It leaves a mark inside your sky
This will lead you to believe
That it is still alive
But it is just old light
Completing it's last flight
Across a velvet night
Stars burn bright till they die
Like love bites in the sky
Love is like starlight
Love is starlight
I wish I heard this before 😭❤
I haven’t listened to this in so long omg
This is really good. I would have loved to see it on the album.❤️
Amazing!
perfect
Her unreleased tracks are better than a lot of her released tracks.
Now I wouldn’t go that far…..some of her unreleased are good and some are better than some of her released but her released songs are better in my option
I wish she could re-record all of her predebut songs :
This song is so dreamy and tragic
Omg this is beautiful ❤
Omg I've never heard this version TTTTTHHHHHHHXXXXX!
How have I NEVER heard this?
Shes SO good
I'm so lonely, Won't you hold me?
Wake up little suzieeee

Makes me so emotional :') always has.

Como as pessoas não conhecem esse hino? A Marina é maravilhosa demais. Meu DEUS QUE TALENTOOOO!!
still a banger
2:20 🥵
You, oh, youuu, had a sad urge to be wanted by fools 🎶... You've a massive heart, but you're a fucked up kid, and we sow what we reap... 🎵😍😍 I love this song and this MATD
♥️
Did Marina write this?? It is s o amazing... is it a cover??
Sidneya Be Like Thank you so much for answering, I completely agree this song is so amazing!
this was actually supposed to be on an unreleased album named "die Life" which the "die" means "the" in german. basically electra heart and family jewels had a kid. other songs like scab & plaster, miss y, or radioactive were supposed to be in it!
Not this song! It was recorded for the Family Jewels, this demo surfaced around the time of the recording of what was supposed to be her second album but was recorded back in 2008! x
Tumblr :) I also find them through other diamonds too :)
Well now im married and have a child 😂 time flies, love coming back to my teenage year treasures ❤
Anyone kind enough to direct me towards a HQ, direct download of this version of the song (rather than lossy conversion)??? Be much appreciated ^-^ xxx
wish she had more like these carbaret stuff instead of pop
I miss this time:(((
YO what's the piano chord at 2:56 i can't tell oop
did u ever figure out the chords? if u did please tell me i would really love to play this!!
if anyone knows the chords of this for piano pleeeaaaseee tell me ill love u forever
OMG, never heard this version :O OMG OMG OMG FUCK FUCK FUCK !!!!!
she went tt tt t
It’s hard because i love these released demos but i also worry that we’re being dicks, some of this may have just been parts of her story she wasn’t ready to share yet. She’s a lyricist and you can read her like a book, is it fair to her to ask her to reveal this much?
Still trying to figure out the meaning of it :))
I've always thought it's about cheating. The man is crying as he confesses to Marina (after his granny dies!), He uses the timing to hope she will not be mad at him as she isn't going to hurt him anymore than the death did...
Of course stars are so far away, they could be dead by the time we are actually seeing their light. So Marina didn't see the relationship was dead while looking into it yet; just as we see the star as if it is alive, she saw their love as alive. Now she's wiser and sees that it has been dead for a long time (because he cheated/whatever event he fessed up to after his granny died).
I'm thinking it might have been about her father since tfj era revolved around the relationship between him and her. Possibly, her father's mother died and he took it out on her out of grief and pain. And like what @Sadie Creel said about the stars, it was pretty obvious their father/daughter relationship was pretty dead.
@@sadie2235 That's actually a really good theory. It makes sense as well
why does this kinda sound like plastic rainbow at the beginning
it sounds like dirty sheets
Was this recorded during TFJ era?
Digne de Kate Bush ! Mais Marina me donne plus de chansons à aimer.
One of the best songs in the entire world, if Billie Eilish sang this, people would eat it up sadly
She sounds do different now. She lost a lot of her deeper tones
I would have preferred Starlight on The Family Jewels over a song like The Outsider
MarliesMega I'm not a big fan of Guilty. That's really the only song on TFJ I don't absolutely love :)
MarliesMega But Numb is one of the best ones! I feel like we could have more of the unreleased demos, like this one, the actual Family Jewels song, or something else.
Looking back, it's so crazy she never released this. It's easily one of her best songs ever.
