"Hanna" brought me here. I love it when films/series or games present me with a good song. Its like someone saying "this is good music, you should listen it.
So I have epilepsy and when I was 17 struggling in high school I was put on a medication for my seizures and it made me see the world differently. I couldn't concentrate on school and had major anxiety attacks. But her songs and the album "that iron taste" I would listen to and I could find peace and I would feel safe again. Now 6 years later I still thank her for her beautiful music.
Turn off my mind, I beg you It's buzzing like the Devil's bow Pulling a soft virgin string A terrible shriek from below A pure heart been bound by nickel But not bent beneath the coil If you play her right, she'll sing through the night With the whispering wheat in the fields The flies on my walls, they're silent But the swarm in my head is a hell So I'll try to play you correctly For a toll of your deep slumber bell My fingers are wretched and calloused Soon daybreak will creep up my stair Now I've not got long to summon the song Of the girl with the flaxen hair
Marika describes this song as a lullaby she wrote for herself while struggling to get to sleep. The track is inspired by a piece by Claude Debussy, entitled “The Girl With Flaxen Hair”, and imakes a lyrical reference to this at the end of the song. Verses 3 and 4 in particular, refer to the insomnia, as she lay awake, mind still racing with dawn approaching. Verse one begins with her description of not being able to "switch off" and sleep but the rest is quite cryptic. I think the lyrics are not quite right. It should be "a nickel" and not just "nickel" and it is "coils" not "coil".
I fell asleep listening to this music and similar songs to it, the dream u had was beyond comparison in beauty. Thank you for making my slumber so peaceful. A slumber filled with peace is something I haven't had since the age of 8.
I love to play this song on my guitar. I remember I used to fall asleep to this song a few years ago with tears in my eyes from a time in my life that was very hard. This song is very special to me
Funny Coincidence brought me here: My Name and the fact that my birthday and birthyear are exactly the same as hers, 17th of february 92. Last but not least this is a really beautiful piece of music :)
I got into my car that has Bluetooth and turned the key ,the radio came on and said my phone is connected and then this song popped up as paused at 0:01. I don't have this song on my phone ,nor have a heard it before ,I was intrigued to what it was so I looked it up and here I am ,I'm not disappointed with the result ,but the whole situation is odd ,like how and why ,could be fate ,who knows .
@@darkphoenix8278 the soundtrack is absolutley amazing. My favourites have to be the opening track, "A journey/the wedding" and "a shooting star", but they're all honestly so beautiful.
The pic + parts of the lyrics (the flies on the wall...) = song about a person dying? Or hoping to die faster? Maybe partially successful suicide attempt?

Same!💞
Yes, the same for me. When I look a serie I keep the english subtitles just to see the title of the songs included.
Me too 😊
Reporting in! At first I thought it was Dido.

Heard this song just now while watching "Hanna". Had to pause and find this. Absolutely Beautiful

SAME!!! I had epilepsy when i was 18, and i am 21 now and still kinda have them, and her songs were with me all the way, from 18 til now. Love her
This is my absolute favorite song, it needs more recognition, its amazing.
Spook i What is it that makes it your favorito, not that I have to ask?
It’s ight
So so beautiful. This music takes you to another place
this song hits me in a way that most music can't. i appreciate this
Turn off my mind, I beg you
It's buzzing like the Devil's bow
Pulling a soft virgin string
A terrible shriek from below
A pure heart been bound by nickel
But not bent beneath the coil
If you play her right, she'll sing through the night
With the whispering wheat in the fields
The flies on my walls, they're silent
But the swarm in my head is a hell
So I'll try to play you correctly
For a toll of your deep slumber bell
My fingers are wretched and calloused
Soon daybreak will creep up my stair
Now I've not got long to summon the song
Of the girl with the flaxen hair
But what does it mean?
Jewelz Positano the lyrics
@@jewelzpositano963 If you were in Hanna's life you would get it.
it's so beautiful

It's been six years! How can I only have just discovered Marika Hackman? This is just so beautiful I can't stop listening to it.

Jay ATM can you please tell the other songs you were listening?
Maybe it's all that ATM keeping you up all night. Lol, no seriously the song is haunting.

hauntingly beautiful
I can't stop listening to this. So so stunning.
"ooo ooo ... " part sounds like Fleet Foxes. Great tune. Hypnotic.
Came here after listening to the Hanna soundtrack. Her voice is so amazing! She definitely deserves more recognition ❤
Grateful to 'Hanna' for getting me here. You have a lovely voice and you've written some beautiful songs. Best wishes!
Heard this song on charmed 2018 this song is soooo calm and beautiful
A thing of beauty. Glad I found this ages ago, surprised I haven't shown my appreciation in the comments yet.

Beautifulll
This is a song about trying to get to sleep, and being unable to switch off your head" explains Hackman. Bu tbu t i want more
BigGreenLimaBean I actually thought it was related to a person dying (hoping to die faster). The flies on the wall made me feel weird lol.
Thank you Cone🌻❤
Why thank you Spotify ✨

Good music.
folk, reminds me of 60s singer songwriter stuff like nico and sybille baier.
Indie I think
Folk

Hanna...added this to my playlist
Reminds me of "Time in a bottle" by Jim Croce
I was just unable to remeber that song..
Thank-you. I was just trying to work that out.

Serene
I found this in a faepunk playlist. This song reminds me of ib.
Hanna!
You remind me of a mix of nick drake and joni mitchell. Haunting and painfully beautiuful
An educated consumer
HANNA ❤️
Those chord changes tho
This is probably weird but all I can think about when listening to this song is the video game "the witcher" 😂
Michael Gill you fuck boy
"Charmed" reboot brought me here
A cheeky Debussy reference in here ;)
Well, he is the basis for the song, yes
Is she talking about Debussy’s daughter?
