@@dickottel nothing was 'easy', she literally wrote about how hard it was for her to reach this point. A relationship didn't do that for her, it just helped to have the support to heal.
@@dickottel i mean they broke up now but she still loves herself even if she's not *perfectly* happy. i can assure you that you're completely capable of that too :)
marina has really matured since electra heart, you can tell she has made many (beautiful) experiences. im glad to be able to experience them, too, in this album
I read "wonderful way to end Love and Fear" and since I'm listening to these out of order, I can't feel this impact. I'm crying, I've made a mistake 😂 Edit: WHOOPS I RESPONDED TO THE WRONG COMMENT, MY B LMAO
I think Marina really matured after TFJ. Electra Heart is more of a project than a chronicle of her experiences and life (which is why she’s said she really doesn’t feel anything for it anymore, while she still identifies with TFJ since that was still _her_ but young). But the idea behind EH is very mature - trying to realistically analyze feminism, sex, love, and the perceptions of women people have in the modern day
"Fear & Loathing" - "Not everyone is out to screw you over" "Soft To Be Strong" - "I made myself believe other people wanted to hurt me" I love all the correlations that hint at Marina's growth. Also, "These people are weird in here and they're giving me the fear" in "The Outsider" - I can see this theme of love and fear theory being with her longer than she realized, and how it made sense to her, when she learned of it.
I love this too. There's a lot of "not knowing who I ams" vs "I know exactly who I am and what I want" trough the eras. And damn, I feel it to the core.
This song... Wow. I was sexually abused when I was just a child by the one who was supposed to be my protector. My step father was supposed to step in when my real father was absent, instead he betrayed my trust and did something unspeakable to not only me but to others as well. By the grace of God I have found healing. I'm still on the road to forgiveness, but this song... It's like it took me right back, to the pain and the freshness of the wound. But it also makes me feel so strong, like I have tried to be all these years. I just wanted to write this to possibly be a reminder that whoever has gone through a traumatic experience that you're never alone and that there is healing just around the corner. God bless ❤
This song describes exactly how it feels like to get over something that hurt you deeply, to fix your broken heart and move on with your life wiser and stronger than before, having embraced your vulnerable, sensitive nature and having found strength in it. It's like an epiphany when you realize that you did nothing wrong. It wasn't your fault that you opened your heart and trusted the wrong people and finally it's okay to be yourself. There's nothing shameful with being soft and sentimental. The right people will appreciate it when they come into your life. Oof I love you, Marina.
Marina in Power and Control: You cant have peace without a war Marina now: You have to be soft to be strong I feel that this song is an evolution of Power and control, when Marina couldnt conceive love whitout power, now she realices that there's no place for power in love, because You have to be soft in love for make it stronger, because only the weak ones are cruels.
After listening to Love + fear it has become my favorite Marina album my favorites were: Orange trees, no more suckers, you, soft to be strong, end of the earth and enjoy your life. This album is a masterpiece thank you Marina.
It's kind of unfair to think that. Love and Fear are more like separate entities dealing with separate parts of the same whole. To Be Human is the more external component, and the center of Love. Learning to see other people as similar to yourself with problems and feelings of their own. Not something to alienate yourself from, and to accept for all their strengths and failings. For what they are, for what you are; Human. Meanwhile, Soft To Be Strong is deeply internal. Coming to terms with the anxieties that plagued you as an individual, the center of Fear. Improving yourself to be the best person you can be by removing the cynical outlook from your life that held you back from being happy, and giving yourself to love without fear of the repercussions that can follow.
Yesterday my girlfriend told me "it's not a guilt to be fragile". She was so pure and sincere in telling me that, as I was crying incredibly bad and thought I was a pathetic woman firsthand, and a pathetic human being secondhand. This song sprung up instantly in my head...
I love how Marina made a duality to the word "love" in most part of the album. When I hear the chorus I think of my mom, and there is some other musics in this album when I heard I think of my friends, so even though love is mostly related to romantic love, Marina made the lyrics in a way we could all relate. This is beautiful.
I love that everyone over time has connected so heavily to her songs and compare lyrics to the ending songs on her albums and all do group therapy together in the comment section of a youtube video
She said it right 'only the weak ones are cruel' many people bully u coz they themselves are weak from inside. So they try to build a happy image of themselves.
the last song on this amazing record and I have to say: thank you marina! i really enjoyed this album and you made me feel all sorts of emotions to all the people that say: OMg tHiS is maiNstReam.. it's not...it can't be her music was way before her time in TFJ and EH and just because she is keeping it more natural and simple doesn't mean that it is mainstream and EVEN if it WOULD be mainstream... we see the artist and the concept behind it and are grateful for what you gave us ( not to mention that as a real diamond you would know that Marina always wants to create sth new and different so it‘s clear that LOVE&FEAR will be different to her other areas) your diamonds
I heard this song 3 years ago, I was broken hearted and the lyrics hits so much. But the melodies have healing essence to it, so does Marina 😊❣️✨ Now I listen to this once again and I'm fully healed. Thankyou so much for creating this song. It helped me alot. ❤
Anyone cry the first time they heard this song? I cried the first time, and many times since. This song hits me in my core, and shakes my whole body. I am so deeply moved by this, and I intend to use it in my next Pony Show. I liked Marina's previous work, but it was more of a poppy fun like. I actually tend to not like when pop stars do something emotional. This whole album moved me so deeply, this is her best work so far. An amazing artist, who can move the human spirit. Thank You.
I feel like this was the greatest closing to one of the greatest Albums I've had the pleasure to listen to in recent memory... Marina took us all through the beauty/meloncaly of love to than do it all over again with fear.. showcase to us her struggles of fear and how it caused her to be unwilling to love and or accept love in every faccet in the most vulnerable & uninhibited ways only to go through all that and come out better and more understanding of the power Vulnerablity and softness has to make someone a truly strong person .... Just WoW idk what she did in the years after froot till now but there was cleary a deep dive of really working on herself, self reflection on herself, her struggles, and fighting and really grinding to come out of those to be a better person.. I felt every ounce of that in this album; I feel so much admiration towards her for her journey and sharing it so purely with us all through this album. in recent times I've been desperately trying to go through this journey as well for myself and while I'm not yet at the soft to be strong stage in my personal journey as of yet to overcoming my fear, hurt, trauma, and sense if inadequateness.. I hope to be soon and hearing this really helped heal me and make me realize the work that I still need to do on myself.. this was an extreme hell of a journey and as a fellow artist myself I give all my praise and than some to you Marina.. this truly couldn't of came out at a better time for me and I assume many others as well.. this was an honnor to hear! Truly a complete a utter masterpiece of a creation!! Just WoW! I can't say it enough!
This is by far the most beautiful and honest song in the album. I shed a tear when she said 'only the weak ones are cruel'. I feel so thankful for this album and for Marina. i'm so happy for her
This one made me cry the first time I listened to it. It's not a happy song, but full of hope and honesty. It's an answer to Electra Heart, as maybe the whole album is. Thank you for this song Marina! It's a masterpiece. It speaks to my soul, as any song you wrote, but Soft to be Strong holds a special place among them. I'm so happy for you, that you found the strength to be soft. Love
It felt like an eternity had passed... Finally it's here. I'm shuck... I don't have enough words to describe how beautiful this song is. For the first time in my life I'm in love with an artist, no with a SOUL, I'm in love with every piece of music she has sung, in love with her voice, her face, her personality, her being..Thank you MARINA for everything you are. THANK YOU!! All the love from Bulgaria, your neighbour.
I was so excited when I saw she released more music. I'm so glad she's taken a more mature approach to song writing. It is a fantastic song. Proud of you, Marina.
"I choose to love you without fear" Feeling this now, I'm currently inlove with my best friend, they rejected me, but I'm choosing to stay in their life and love them unconditionally even if they will never feel the exact same towards me, i know they genuinely care for me and want me in their life. Now I feel I can express my love to them without feeling like I'm trying to win them over or trying to impress them, i can just be me. This experience has taught me I can have unconditional love without expectations towards someone i care for, which i feel is the when relationships thrive the most. its can be hard at times, what id do for them to love me back...but just throwing our friendship away would have been a selfish and cowardly thing for me to do, especially since they haven't intentionally hurt me in any way, just rejected me, which any mature adult should be able to handle. I love marina so much...
"Soft To Be Strong" I know it's hard to be soft I know it hurts to be kind I know that when love is lost It's only fear in disguise And I guess I've known it all along The truth is you have to be soft to be strong Finally, I feel the fear is gone I found out love has to be soft to be strong Soft to be strong, soft I believe the world is beautiful Only the weak ones are cruel I choose to love you without fear No shame in being sincere And I guess I've known it all along The truth is you have to be soft to be strong Finally, I feel the fear is gone I found out love has to be soft to be strong Soft to be strong And I made myself believe Other people wanted to hurt me I took my bitterness and made it sweet I took a broken heart and made it beat Somebody hurt me long ago And though to heal a heart is slow It's just a consequence of pain There is no use in laying blame And I guess I've known it all along The truth is you have to be soft to be strong Finally I feel the fear is gone I found out love has to be soft to be strong Soft to be strong Soft to be strong Soft to be strong Soft
I wanna thank Marina so much for creating this masterpiece. This songs gives me so much hope and takes away my anxiety and fear, because through this song she taught me a big lesson... I have to be soft to be strong. ❤
i FINALLY found a song about this concept... thank you, Marina. thank you for the wonderful music that' been getting me through so many tough times throughout the past decade. please take care of yourself
this and life is strange are my fav songs from fear i think,,, i relate to this song a lot, i've been feeling really low for past months but its getting better lately thank you Marina
Out of all the songs in this album, I think this one hits the most. I cried the minute she started singing. Thank you so much marina, I didn't know I needed this so much
So many songs of you fit so good to me, even when I'm male. Somehow it takes the feeling of being hopeless away from me. Thanks for that. I truly love you and your great work, marina
I know someone who is the appitamy of the polar opposite of this song. They've been cruel to me for being "weak". I truly hope one day they could hear the meaning of this song. And because of the things they've put me through.... This is validating as hell! What an important song thankyou Marina 💖
Marina has been with me for a long time. When I discovered her I felt understood. I was battling with depression and a broken heart. Electra Heart became my personal bible and life guidance. I discovered so much of myself thanks to Electra Heart. When Marina released FROOT I was a little bit more mature and felt deeply connected to each song in a different way, it was surreal that an artist could express so much of what I was going through. When Marina released the announcement of LOVE AND FEAR I was in a much better place. After so many years, it kinda feels as if Marina and I have grown wiser and more mature together. When I listen to this song I can't help but cry because of everything I've been through, all of the pain, all of the heartbreak, all of the bad...but I cry because I finally feel the fear is gone, I'm getting married in a couple of weeks to the guy I looked for so many years and it just makes me so happy to feel that somehow, Marina is here with me to share this moment in my life. Thank you, Marina. You have no idea how important you've been in my life since the very first moment I heard "Teen Idle".

I dont know why this song makes me cry all the time
Indeed ❤️💎❤️

The ending songs are so meaningful: End of the Earth was about how love causes fear, and Soft to be Strong was about how fear can create love
Best comment
Exactly!!
Worded perfectly!! 💕💕
marklouie vallesteros i was literally about to reply this!!!!
This is some of what Marina tries to tell us through Love and Fear.
Marina:
2012: "Built with a heart, broken from the start and now I die slow"
2019: "I took a broken heart and made it beat"
Which song is the 1st one?

This track is the "happy" of Love + Fear
Aziz Bouteraa omg that’s what I’ve been saying!!
omg you are right!!
This whole album is the "Happy" of Marina's discography 😂
100%!!!
The way she sings "And I guess I've known it all along / Finally I feel the fear is gone" really hits different
Radioactive - "Love is all that I fear"
Soft to be strong - "I choose to love you without fear"
*WOW*
This song describes exactly how it feels like to get over something that hurt you deeply, to fix your broken heart and move on with your life wiser and stronger than before, having embraced your vulnerable, sensitive nature and having found strength in it.

This one had me tearing up, when she said "Finally I feel the fear is gone" that GOT ME
Sameeeeeeeee!
Same ❤️
This song left me speechless. It was such a beautiful way to end love + fear. Marina created something incredible, as per usual.
marina has probably had one of the greatest character developement i'v ever witnessed.
Soft to be strong is the mature versión of Fear and loathing and im loving it
who else is kinda tearing up, such a beautiful ending to this beautiful album, now gotta replay it again
// LeGaLizE RAnCh // me me me
Same!
Try bawling my eyes out 😭
😭😭😭❤
Fuck that I’m SOBBING this song hit me so hard!
2011: "Don't wanna live in fear and loathing".
2019: "Finally, I feel the fear is gone".
This is officially my favorite marina song ever. Genuinely.
Most people dislike the love+fear album, but this album actually is the most genuine of all.
Marina in Power and Control: You cant have peace without a war
Marina now: You have to be soft to be strong
I feel that this song is an evolution of Power and control, when Marina couldnt conceive love whitout power, now she realices that there's no place for power in love, because You have to be soft in love for make it stronger, because only the weak ones are cruels.
🤧
no she nailed it right away; from power and control:
"This human vulnerability, it doesn't mean that I am weak"
I think power and control was more a sarcasm, descriptive of society or a relationship.
everyone is talking about happy but this is reminding me of a response to fear and loathing
After listening to Love + fear it has become my favorite Marina album my favorites were: Orange trees, no more suckers, you, soft to be strong, end of the earth and enjoy your life.
This album is a masterpiece thank you Marina.
absolutely one of the most beautiful songs i’ve ever heard
Imo this is the core of the record not To be human. It feels like a title track
TBH was the core of Love, this was the core of Fear
It's kind of unfair to think that. Love and Fear are more like separate entities dealing with separate parts of the same whole.
To Be Human is the more external component, and the center of Love. Learning to see other people as similar to yourself with problems and feelings of their own. Not something to alienate yourself from, and to accept for all their strengths and failings. For what they are, for what you are; Human.
Meanwhile, Soft To Be Strong is deeply internal. Coming to terms with the anxieties that plagued you as an individual, the center of Fear. Improving yourself to be the best person you can be by removing the cynical outlook from your life that held you back from being happy, and giving yourself to love without fear of the repercussions that can follow.
Anyone always relate to every single one of her songs in at least one way she does understand us💞
My heart is melting..it's so relatable and I'm in tears
Your Electra Heart?
This is such an empath ballad!!! Anyone else an empath here????? Such true words it's so sad many people in the world don't understand that.
Loved it
Yesterday my girlfriend told me "it's not a guilt to be fragile". She was so pure and sincere in telling me that, as I was crying incredibly bad and thought I was a pathetic woman firsthand, and a pathetic human being secondhand.
This song sprung up instantly in my head...
it's like numb, fear and loathing, and happy combined their powers and made soft to be strong and I love it
This one hit close to home. I've never loved anyone without fear. And I'm not sure if I ever will. But I'll try. I'll always try.
Keep trying one day you will sending love and positivty
I love how Marina made a duality to the word "love" in most part of the album. When I hear the chorus I think of my mom, and there is some other musics in this album when I heard I think of my friends, so even though love is mostly related to romantic love, Marina made the lyrics in a way we could all relate. This is beautiful.
Listening to all Marina albums is like watching the journey of growth and self-acceptance from a person and it's a beautiful experience.
just finished listening to this album, i think it isn't godawful like everyone says it is, it's really underrated.
I love that everyone over time has connected so heavily to her songs and compare lyrics to the ending songs on her albums and all do group therapy together in the comment section of a youtube video
me too:)
She said it right 'only the weak ones are cruel' many people bully u coz they themselves are weak from inside. So they try to build a happy image of themselves.

and EVEN if it WOULD be mainstream... we see the artist and the concept behind it and are grateful for what you gave us
( not to mention that as a real diamond you would know that Marina always wants to create sth new and different so it‘s clear that LOVE&FEAR will be different to her other areas)
your diamonds
"I took the bitterness and made it sweet" sounds like Electra Heart to me...
Remember when Marina invented _fear_ ? 💞
1:10 so true... being kind is strong
The way Marina ended this album was like a big PERIODT
I heard this song 3 years ago, I was broken hearted and the lyrics hits so much. But the melodies have healing essence to it, so does Marina 😊❣️✨ Now I listen to this once again and I'm fully healed. Thankyou so much for creating this song. It helped me alot. ❤
ladies and gentlemen, i present you the best song from our generation
Quickly my most favorite track from Fear. This is magnificent.
Marina is truly one of the very rare and few "Artists" today that are able to release cohesive albums!!! Thanks Marina!!!
Whole FEAR is great! So deep, but calm. And this track is the perfect closure. LOVE+FEAR really is a masterpiece.
This is some of the best relationship advice you can get. I can confirm that Marina has met the correct analysis here. :)
This song summarizes all that I've learned in the past few years
when Marina said "somebody hurt me long ago" , sis I really felt that
This song means to much to me, I cry each time I hear it. It's my favorite song she's ever sung..
Anyone cry the first time they heard this song? I cried the first time, and many times since. This song hits me in my core, and shakes my whole body. I am so deeply moved by this, and I intend to use it in my next Pony Show. I liked Marina's previous work, but it was more of a poppy fun like. I actually tend to not like when pop stars do something emotional. This whole album moved me so deeply, this is her best work so far. An amazing artist, who can move the human spirit. Thank You.
Somebody hurt me long ago
And though to heal a heart is slow
It’s just a consequence of pain
There is no use in laying blame 👌😭
"i believe the world is beautiful..
only the weak ones are cruel."
Im currently having a good day, and listening to marina is the icing to the cake

Last song I'm listening, before new years 🎉
I was so excited when I saw she released more music. I'm so glad she's taken a more mature approach to song writing. It is a fantastic song. Proud of you, Marina.
Marina's life development with age, maturity and wisdom is beauty to me as a 23 year old that looked up to her since her beginning days.
Marina is one of the best singers for me
"I choose to love you without fear"
Feeling this now, I'm currently inlove with my best friend, they rejected me, but I'm choosing to stay in their life and love them unconditionally even if they will never feel the exact same towards me, i know they genuinely care for me and want me in their life. Now I feel I can express my love to them without feeling like I'm trying to win them over or trying to impress them, i can just be me.

I love marina so much...
Another classic album from one of my favourite artists of all time.
Marina kills me. Stone dead. Yet never more alive.
"Soft To Be Strong"
I know it's hard to be soft
I know it hurts to be kind
I know that when love is lost
It's only fear in disguise
And I guess I've known it all along
The truth is you have to be soft to be strong
Finally, I feel the fear is gone
I found out love has to be soft to be strong
Soft to be strong, soft
I believe the world is beautiful
Only the weak ones are cruel
I choose to love you without fear
No shame in being sincere
And I guess I've known it all along
The truth is you have to be soft to be strong
Finally, I feel the fear is gone
I found out love has to be soft to be strong
Soft to be strong
And I made myself believe
Other people wanted to hurt me
I took my bitterness and made it sweet
I took a broken heart and made it beat
Somebody hurt me long ago
And though to heal a heart is slow
It's just a consequence of pain
There is no use in laying blame
And I guess I've known it all along
The truth is you have to be soft to be strong
Finally I feel the fear is gone
I found out love has to be soft to be strong
Soft to be strong
Soft to be strong
Soft to be strong
Soft
She’s a mastermind

I wanna thank Marina so much for creating this masterpiece. This songs gives me so much hope and takes away my anxiety and fear, because through this song she taught me a big lesson... I have to be soft to be strong. ❤
This. My Mom is such a gentle spirit, also the strongest person I know.
I'm just in love with the fear part
Marina you are the best emotional machine..!
i FINALLY found a song about this concept... thank you, Marina. thank you for the wonderful music that' been getting me through so many tough times throughout the past decade. please take care of yourself
I love this era
Perfect ending ♡♡♡
for me the best song on the album
this and life is strange are my fav songs from fear i think,,, i relate to this song a lot, i've been feeling really low for past months but its getting better lately
thank you Marina
Out of all the songs in this album, I think this one hits the most. I cried the minute she started singing. Thank you so much marina, I didn't know I needed this so much
Eternally my favourite artist. From 13 years old to 21 years old :)
After lots of research, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s just not possible for Marina to make a bad song.
Since I've known this song it was goals. Now some things have changed in my life and it is my reality.
So many songs of you fit so good to me, even when I'm male. Somehow it takes the feeling of being hopeless away from me.
Thanks for that.
I truly love you and your great work, marina
literally one of the Top5 song from 2019 for me
This song is so powerful it gets me like no other!!!
I can feel the divine feminine energy through this song❤️💫
strength is not found in not feeling, in not caring. it's find in opening yourself to vulnerability.
seeing her growth is beautiful , she deserves so much happiness.
This song hits hard
I know someone who is the appitamy of the polar opposite of this song. They've been cruel to me for being "weak". I truly hope one day they could hear the meaning of this song.
And because of the things they've put me through....
This is validating as hell!
What an important song thankyou Marina 💖
This song is my absolute favorite on Love + Fear. Marina is a goddess.
Marina has been with me for a long time. When I discovered her I felt understood. I was battling with depression and a broken heart. Electra Heart became my personal bible and life guidance. I discovered so much of myself thanks to Electra Heart. When Marina released FROOT I was a little bit more mature and felt deeply connected to each song in a different way, it was surreal that an artist could express so much of what I was going through. When Marina released the announcement of LOVE AND FEAR I was in a much better place. After so many years, it kinda feels as if Marina and I have grown wiser and more mature together. When I listen to this song I can't help but cry because of everything I've been through, all of the pain, all of the heartbreak, all of the bad...but I cry because I finally feel the fear is gone, I'm getting married in a couple of weeks to the guy I looked for so many years and it just makes me so happy to feel that somehow, Marina is here with me to share this moment in my life. Thank you, Marina. You have no idea how important you've been in my life since the very first moment I heard "Teen Idle".
Hope you are happy and better
MY FAVORITE SONG IN THIS ALBUM. Period.
This song touches me really deep. Especially now. Just sitting here crying a little.
“Only the weak ones are cruel”
So true
i feel like i've been waiting for this song for a long time
Some of the best songwriting I've heard over the last . . . twenty-five years is coming from Marina. I didn't know about her until--THIS YEAR!
this is a song my soul needed
Best song of the album. I Know is hard to be soft
