Marina does the cuckoos acoustic: sounds like a fucking angel. Me trying to do the cuckoos: sounds like a dying seagull choking on a pizza it stole from some people.
+Geo Marko Silver spoons is synonymous to wealth. She is talking about growing up surrounded by wealth and a carefree life, people telling her how and what to be. Struggling with her own choices and facing reality.
She almost did but then she pulled back. Look at her Electra Heart videos and the views, then compare them to Froot. Also, there are dozens of Electra Heart era interviews and very few from the Froot era. She also said she doesn't want to be a pop star, but acknowledges that she is a pop artist. In other words, she is who she wants to be.
Emily I think she was on the verge of doing so with Electra Heart but backed out knowing she didn’t want to keep making music as an alter ego for the rest of her life. Her new music isn’t as popular but remains authentic imo.
Decubuntu I love the acoustic version of Lies. I love the original too so I can't choose a favorite. If I want to hear polished and lush music, I listen to the studio version. If I want a stripped down and emotional song, I listen to the acoustic version. They're perfect for different occasions.
Yep XD. If I start a bit lower and build up to the note I can reach it. But it's high to start off on. Creds to Marina for being able to start off that amazingly.

her voice is so amazingly flawless & I always end up loving her acoustic versions more than the studio versions tbh.... she could release all her songs as acoustic and I'm pretty sure she'd get no less praise for them if not more
I prefer the acoustic versions of her songs too. I love, love, love her voice but don't really enjoy super pop-y music.... I would love an album of acoustic versions of her songs as well.
2:48-2:53 is so pretty. Her lower register is super husky which would make you think she’s an alto but the high register is so clearly soprano. Her voice absolutely shimmers in the higher registers.
Istyle E "10 silver spoons coming after me", "The cutlery will keep on chasing me." and "We are the spoons metally mean. We scooped our way into your dreams To knock the knives out bloody cold."
Can someone please give a detailed explanation about why cutlery. I've listened ro the song thousands of times but i can't figure it out in a way that makes sense
Rodrigo Miguel First of all, there's nothing wrong with being famous. She's been on Glee and on Just Dance, so I don't think she's that much of an unknown anymore.
I feel like Marina's lyrics are a lot more meaningful/philosophical as she grew up more (like To Be Human, Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land, Purge the Poison, Sex Yeah, etc) than Family Jewels, but that's just my opinion.
God her voice is amazing. I don't know why I stopped listening to her. She just popped into my head this morning and I forgot how insanely talented she is. I would do anything to have her range.
She`s seriously, absurdly good, not just as a singer but as a songwriter, too. Perhaps the most outrageously talented artist in today`s pop music, and she`s been only getting better.
Cuckoo! Ten silver spoons coming after me, One life with one dream on repeat, I'll escape if I try hard enough, Till, King of the Jungle calls my bluff, Oh Lord, (Oh Lord) I have been told, (I have been told) I must take the unforsaken road (Forsaken road) There's a fork in the road, I'll do as as I am told, Well, I don't know, (Don't know don't know don't know don't know) Who...I want to be. Cuckoo! You say Y-E-S to everything, Will that guarantee you a win? Do you think you will be good enough, To love others and to be loved? Oh Lord, (Oh Lord) Now I can see, (Now I can see) The cutlery will keep on chasing me, (Forsaken road) There's a fork in the road, I'll do as as I am told, Well, I don't know, (Don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know) Who...I want to be. We are the spoons, they're telling me We scooped our way into your dreams, To knock the knives out bloody cold, And lead you down the unforsaken road. There's a fork in the road, I'll do as as I am told, Well, I don't know, (Don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know) Who...I want to be
We have been gifted with this. This is not natural, this is the ethereal peak that they never even knew they were climbing towards. A privilege to behold! View counts and critics can't hold down the emotion that vibrates from the notes and meaning that she allows herself to give to this planet. We are so lucky, and I appreciate you Marina.
Lol I remember watching the music video like a while ago and that was the first Marina song I ever heard at the time. I became a big fan of her ever since of course.❤️🥰
Her singing has gotten better since this video. Her voice is kind of wobbly here and she gets a bit breathy, whereas she's pretty spot on now. This song is difficult to sing, though, so that could be part of the shakiness.

Omg i cant stop laughing
The accuracy
+Linh Cinder HEYYY SAME PROFILE PIC and once i was trying the cuckoos and i actually did it but then i couldn't anymore
+james williams Twinsies! And congrats on your momentary success :$
So thats where my pizza went..,
i think Marina is the only singer that can sing a song about silverware chasing her without anyone questioning her sanity.
Or Regina spektor
Cate Reynolds lmfao
Geo Marko That's because there's no question.
She's insane, and we love it. ^_^
***** LOL

I didn't know angels could be popstars.
If I had Marina's voice, I wouldn't shut up! I would sing everything that comes out of my mind ❤️
Her accent is adorable too
***** lol
***** Lolwut
OMG me too:) Her voice is amazing!!
Angel Meza that's how she writes songs. She writes about the stuff on the top of her head
I wish she was getting the recognition she really deserves.
The future has good news for you :]
Cynthia Segura and more good news
Cynthia Segura so much good news she's so recognised now I love it
omg it's 2018 now you have no idea
Cynthia Segura me to
How did she not become a giant mega star? The looks, the voice, the music, she has it all.

i think the world isn't ready for marina yet, she is too perfect
Probably didn’t want to sell her soul to Hollywood.
Sanbika She did lol.

Those are some pretty badass voice acrobatics.
OMG MOWGLI WOULD BE, LIKE THE CUTEST NAME FOR A KITTEN
OH MY GOD
meowgli
holy shit just found out there IS a cat named Mowgli in a Warriors book
Cute and true...but did the word like really have to be in there? Like, really?
My dog is named Mogli, spelt like that but pronounced "Mowgli" :)
am I The only One who likes the acoustic versions better than the studio versions?
me too
I love It and I love her!!!
Me too :3
yes lol sorry but this song sounds better with the keyboard. It just feels empty

the best part is when she says "do you think you will be good enough to love others and to be loved"
OMG WHEN I STARTED READING THIS SHE SANG IT omg literally coincidences are so cool
I have that line tattoes
All my friends think this is her worst song and that she sounds bad in this song, and I'm just thinking "What drugs are you on?"
Crow Leone kick their ass
amazing song!
You need new friends
tbh this my fav
I love this song what
That range is insane.
anyone tried to do the cuckoo sound and failed???
+Regina Phalenge *raises hand awkwardly*
a loud horible voice crack but i can do it some times and i start screaming bc it makes me so happy
Me.
Yep XD. If I start a bit lower and build up to the note I can reach it. But it's high to start off on. Creds to Marina for being able to start off that amazingly.

LPSEverdeenYT lol she's both
her voice is so amazingly flawless & I always end up loving her acoustic versions more than the studio versions tbh.... she could release all her songs as acoustic and I'm pretty sure she'd get no less praise for them if not more
Agreed💕 she puts so much emotion into her songs, but even more in the acoustic. Marina gets really into the character as well:)
I prefer the acoustic versions of her songs too. I love, love, love her voice but don't really enjoy super pop-y music.... I would love an album of acoustic versions of her songs as well.
The cuckoos are EVERYTHING.
+Bonny Bonny True af.

You are one of the rare ones, well done

2:48-2:53 is so pretty. Her lower register is super husky which would make you think she’s an alto but the high register is so clearly soprano. Her voice absolutely shimmers in the higher registers.
Pause at any moment, she looks perfect. Wtf Marina x'D

LanaLover69 I like her at 1:23 (

+MichaelAngelo Alicea when i watched the neon nature video and mowgli's road was the first song, she killed me with the freaking cuckoos
This song is just............just leaves me speechless. Her voice is perfect! Cuckoo kills me!
I think she is one of the only artists who can get away with singing a song about silverware.
What xD
Istyle E "10 silver spoons coming after me", "The cutlery will keep on chasing me." and "We are the spoons metally mean. We scooped our way into your dreams To knock the knives out bloody cold."
Can someone please give a detailed explanation about why cutlery. I've listened ro the song thousands of times but i can't figure it out in a way that makes sense
It did, thank you, +pan nana
***** it's not
I love the moment when she's singing You say Y... E S to everything
"you say Y E S to everything"
I just got shivers
OH LORD......MARINA IS PERFECT......THE DIAMOND FANS WILL KEEP ON CHASING HER
I'm having trouble believing this is actually live, it's so controlled, so perfect.
She's the most beautiful thing i've ever seen.
She'd be great as an x factor judge!
but why isnt this uploaded on marina's channel tho?
Leonardo Akauan same question
Right! Idk if she deleted it or what, but I’m living for it!
Can't believe Marina invented cuckoo birds
I think Marina & the diamonds is the only pop singer I'll listen to
***** In fact, Marina is an alternative indie pop musician, so.
Sol Riccieri she´s alternative indie cous nobody knows her, and that´s good
Rodrigo Miguel First of all, there's nothing wrong with being famous. She's been on Glee and on Just Dance, so I don't think she's that much of an unknown anymore.
Rodrigo Miguel Super late reply but Marina is a pop singer. Synth pop actually. Lana is more alternative.
Pop artist*
She said that herself, haha
Marina: "Cuckoo!" *perfect*
Me: *sounds like a broken cuckoo clock*
She is the definition of talent
..... holy hell..... she is so.... angelic perfect....
forever 21
plays this all the time
marina in 2019: "i envy the birds, high up in the trees,"
marina in 2010: *"C U C K O O"*
I miss this Marina so much but I get it, people grow and change. I wish I could be transported back to this era sometimes!
I feel like Marina's lyrics are a lot more meaningful/philosophical as she grew up more (like To Be Human, Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land, Purge the Poison, Sex Yeah, etc) than Family Jewels, but that's just my opinion.
the amount of chills i have now...i just... 0-0' she is such a perfect human.
She gets so into it! I love it!
00:11 *cakoows dramatically looking at some spot*
God her voice is amazing. I don't know why I stopped listening to her. She just popped into my head this morning and I forgot how insanely talented she is. I would do anything to have her range.
samantha johnson good time to remember her, she is going to release a new album soon!
She`s seriously, absurdly good, not just as a singer but as a songwriter, too. Perhaps the most outrageously talented artist in today`s pop music, and she`s been only getting better.
WOW WHAT A VOICE ! AND SHE IS A BEAUTY! HER VOICE REMINDS ME OF KATE BUSH!
GREAT!
Wow that was amazing! You cant compare her voice to anyone else. Marina is one of a kind and she deserves to be famous for years to come.
This is one of those songs you hate at first but then you love it.
Yeah I used to hate this song and now its my favorite at the moment
i was scared of the music video for a good while.
I actually always loved the song. 😅
I always loved it lmao
Sames
man she knows how to sing
She seemed nervous in the beginning but as she continued singing she got more comfortable and it went from great to YOUR THROAT IS LINED WITH GOLD WTF
Cuckoo!
Ten silver spoons coming after me,
One life with one dream on repeat,
I'll escape if I try hard enough,
Till, King of the Jungle calls my bluff,
Oh Lord, (Oh Lord)
I have been told, (I have been told)
I must take the unforsaken road (Forsaken road)
There's a fork in the road,
I'll do as as I am told,
Well, I don't know, (Don't know don't know don't know don't know)
Who...I want to be.
Cuckoo!
You say Y-E-S to everything,
Will that guarantee you a win?
Do you think you will be good enough,
To love others and to be loved?
Oh Lord, (Oh Lord)
Now I can see, (Now I can see)
The cutlery will keep on chasing me, (Forsaken road)
There's a fork in the road,
I'll do as as I am told,
Well, I don't know, (Don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know)
Who...I want to be.
We are the spoons, they're telling me
We scooped our way into your dreams,
To knock the knives out bloody cold,
And lead you down the unforsaken road.
There's a fork in the road,
I'll do as as I am told,
Well, I don't know, (Don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know)
Who...I want to be
I've never seen or heard a more perfect human being in my life
She's so damn beautiful, a musical genius, intellectual, amazing live, amazing personality, LOVE HER❤️
Dude she has an impossible level of control over her voice. Like goddamn a truly immaculate artist
The amount of time i spent trying to get that coocoo right is just ridiculous. And i never got it. This woman is absolute perfection.
I'm genuinely in love with this woman
Every time she smiles I can't help but smile back
We have been gifted with this. This is not natural, this is the ethereal peak that they never even knew they were climbing towards. A privilege to behold!

Everyone s talking about the flawless "cuckoo's" but that "Oh lord" is AMAZING
Marina checks all the boxes of what I look for in an artist. She's so fucking talented
The cuckoo is impossible only marina can do it perfectly!!
this is her best acoustic performance of all time. no one can convince me otherwise.
She is so beautiful.
Lol I remember watching the music video like a while ago and that was the first Marina song I ever heard at the time. I became a big fan of her ever since of course.❤️🥰
Absolutely wonderful!!!
she hits the notes so clearly i’m gonna cry
i can't do the cuckoo thing my voice is too deep :(
I feel you so much
Same with the "i lead you down the unforsaken road"
lel I tried it and did it too high
Aymane Mehdi my voice is quite deep, it's just your range and the strength of your headvoice.
now i have trained myself i can do it, but not as good as her
I love how she draws out "I'll escape" and makes it sound like "Alice" which fits perfectly with the song ❤❤
this is so beautiful im crying real tears
That range... She is absolutely spectacular in both her flawless beauty and her impeccable vocal talent.
She's so damn gorgeous
2018 and still cant get over the perfection in her vocals.
its amazing im crying omg ;_;
I love how the truly talented artists always do an acoustic of at least one of their songs.
I love the shit out of this song and Marina is one of the most beautiful women ever. Helen of Troy reincarnated :)
Is this the face that launched a thousand ships?
These acoustic videos from 12 years ago are her best vocal performances imo.
Marina is imagining spoons chasing her. Marina is going crazy #savemarinaandthediamonds
I really hope the people who make these comments are joking. Its called a metaphor kids, pay better attention in english next time
I am speechless. This is the best live performance by Marina I have ever watched.
She is probably the best singer in the planet.
one of the most unique voices ive ever heard
that voice man...
shes absolutely beautiful
I really love this acoustic so much ❤❤ Marina's voice is perfect!!!!
Her voice is so beautiful omg
Her singing has gotten better since this video. Her voice is kind of wobbly here and she gets a bit breathy, whereas she's pretty spot on now. This song is difficult to sing, though, so that could be part of the shakiness.
lol her voice has always been amazing nevertheless. fucking flawless Marina keep it up!
+razrv3lc She could be using vibrato.
While her control has actually gotten better, the shakiness [vibrato] used here was intended.
It’s called vibrato my dude
I listen this song 20-30 times a day
and can't still get enough
She is absolutely great
I LOVE THIS WOMAN SO MUCH
THE BEGINNING YAAASSS
gorgeous in every way
Why does she have the best voice?
she had a very sweet voice and she is one of the onli artists that can sing so high and so low too
I LOVE MARINAS VOICE. DIAMONDS 4 EVER
That mouth! That face! That voice! She's pretty *-*
omg her voice is just too perfect! and she loooks really gorgeous here
And again, i tried to do the 'cuckoo' thing and failed miserably. :(
i just can't get over her voice. i've rarely heard anything so amazing
Jesus, her voice o.o
