Raveonettes, The - Here Comes Mary Lyrics

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oe58W6LkXw&t=3s

i want to kill someone haha

Fucking do it

Make it me

Dream, Dream dream dream

The vocals have a Simon and Garfunkel sound to them.

Like The Everly Brothers on a downer - beautiful, sad and strange!

Dream-time

all i have to do is dream

these rolling rocks are starting to hit me

her heart so heavy

Man, I thought that that was going to be a nirvana rip off guitar haha

In the song writing community this is called writing sideways. This is very derivative of the Everly's Hit "Dream" with some Paris Sisters style vocals and a bit of the Phil Spector's production style he used with the Paris sisters .

LYRICS

Here comes Mary
All dressed in black
Her heart so heavy
A love attack
Her dying cigarette in the rain

The gangs are out
And here comes Mary
They rave and shout
Her love to bury
Her dying cigarette in the rain

Go home and cry to your mama tonight
Go home and bury your love tonight

Young love dead
Lost forever
Young love dead
Lost forever
A dying cigarette in the rain

A shiny gun
To her head
Here comes Mary
Forever dead

A wet cigarette in the rain
Went home and cried to her mama tonight
Went home and buried her love tonight
Went home and cried to her mama tonight
Went out and killed herself tonight

Can this song be in a movie oneday?

all I have to do is dreeeam, dream dream dream

sofia tendenilla omgosh, same.

Mi exnovia se llama Mary.

sounds like the archie cartoon

parping patty. ikr

Is this from 2005???

there is something very velvet underground on this.

this whole channel should be called the spawns of velvet underground

Well, Moe Tucker plays drums on some of the songs on the record ;)

The Everly Brothers popped into my head the first time I heard this song. Nice.

me too I thought they sound familiar

+AWildPizzaRoll it's kinda a cover, but just the melody the lyrics aren't the same

How can something be a cover is the melody and the lyrics aren't the same?

Thank you very much for your post!

Magical and sad..

Classic ...MIAMI !

Boredom bitterness and spite.

Not the Velvets you dumb asses...the Everly Brothers.  But of course, expecting 'Young America' to know about the Everly's and their influence on rock would be asking too much. 

@bodensick Actually they have been described as the Velvet Underground meets the Everly Brothers.... but yes it's a shame more young 'uns have never learned about the roots

Is this a cover of Everly Brothers, All I have to do is dream?

With a little Aztec Two Step thrown in.

Listen to Femme Fatale with Niko.

Sometimes yeah.

Martin Rev

velvet underground is doowop?

Lou Reed was a massive doo-wop fan....

Do what?

I love the Raveonettes! They're so fantastically weird! <3

σαγαπω μενεξια

well said

all bands who do this sound like the Velvets.

dream dream dream

Fine track from a fine album, another example of them merging past and present sounds, refreshing to say the least.

I just love it....

Best Raveonettes song... and if not best, most underrated

If one of The Everly Brothers had been a girl this is how they would sound today....to me anyway...

Sounds like the Velvet Underground
