1) Marion are an English alternative indie group, originally formed in 1993, in Macclesfield, Cheshire. Jaime Harding (singer) became friends with Joe Moss (the ex-manager of The Smiths and huge music fan). Joe assisted Jaime in the creation of a new group which Jaime already knew he wanted to call Marion. Joe taught Jaime the history of all kinds of music going back as far as 1920s blues, which he had previously done for Johnny Marr at the start of The Smiths.
Joe Moss helped Jaime find and inspire musicians including Anthony Grantham, Phil Cunningham and Murad Mousa who he had attended school with. Once the group was formed, a 5 piece of Jaime Harding (singing), Anthony Grantham (guitar), Phil Cunningham (guitar), Julian Philips (bass), Murad Mousa (drums), Joe immediately found a permanent rehearsal space for Marion in the basement of the Night & Day Cafe on Oldham Street in Manchester's Northern Quarter. It took 9 months of 6/7 days a week writing and rehearsing for the band to be ready to play London gigs and attract a major record company deal.
After releasing the debut single 'Violent Men' on Rough Trade Records, a bidding war began between the major record labels, with Marion eventually signing to London Records and Island Music Publishing in October 1994. In March 1995, Julian left the group, replaced by Nick Gilbert who featured on all other Marion recordings.
Marion were never media darlings and built up their loyal following through constant gigging which eventually took them into the charts with a Top 10 Selling Album in the form of their debut 'This World & Body' in February 1996. Before that, Marion were handpicked and toured with the likes of Morrissey, Radiohead, Ian McCulloch of Echo & The Bunnymen and Manic Street Preachers.
Although Marion were very much a group that stood out on their own, journalistically they were included into the 1990s Britpop music scene, appearing on the 'Britpop Now' BBC television special, among many other TV and Radio Britpop programmes, including a stunning live performance of 'Sleep' on Channel 4's The Word in February 1995. The group also went on to play at the Glastonbury Festival 3 times and a whole host of other festivals in the UK and Europe, as well as 2 tours of Japan and 4 short tours of America.
After a gruelling 18 month international touring campaign for debut album 'This World & Body' Marion were finding it difficult to write a 2nd album, It was at this point that manager Joe Moss brought in Johnny Marr to co-write and produce Marion's 2nd album 'The Program'. Johnny breathed a life into 'The Program' that Marion could never have even dreamt of, which resulted in a stunning and incredibly stylish 2nd album. Once the album had been recorded and was ready for release and promo etc Jaime had unfortunately become too ill to work regularly due to his drug habit, which meant that the album was never given a proper release or any promotion. This was basically and unfortunately the end of Marion. 'The Program' remains a cult classic and was the first record that Johnny Marr ever sang on.
Johnny Marr had always been impressed with Phil's The Stooges-esque guitar playing and recruited him into the live version of Electronic, which then lead to Phil becoming a full-time member of New Order in the early 2000s, which has resulted in New Order's live sound becoming heavier and more rock and roll. Phil is still a permanent member of New Order and has been involved in the writing of various New Order and Bad Lieutenant records. Phil is considered by both band and fans alike as being a real asset to New Order's sound, even winning himself an Ivor Novello Award with the band.
In 2006, Jaime Harding and Phil Cunningham recruited a new set of musicians and reformed Marion. They started working on new material, having played their first live gig together as Marion in more than 7 years on 1 April 2006 in Bath. They followed this up with sold-out shows in Manchester and London in September and December 2006, notably playing 50% new songs and 50% older Marion songs. Some say that these shows were the best Marion shows they had ever seen, it was a very exciting year and period for the group.
Unfortunately Jaime became ill at the start of 2007 and had to have open-heart surgery, which yet again put Marion on hiatus, this time until 2011 when the whole original line up of Marion got together for 2 years of live shows, including a live album recorded at Manchester Academy in December 2011, entitled 'Alive In Manchester'.
At the end of 2012, Jack Mitchell, Marion's drummer for around 10 years, became the drummer for Johnny Marr's new solo band that released the incredible first album 'The Messenger' in February 2013 and have toured the World extensively since to bigger and bigger crowds, with Johnny winning the NME Godlike Genius Award no less. Johnny Marr is set to release his second solo album in September 2014 with a UK tour in October 2014.
Since 2014, the 2 founding members of Marion, Jaime Harding (Singer) and Anthony ‘Beard’ Grantham (Guitarist), along with a new rhythm section, have started writing, recording and playing live shows once again. Marion will be the main support act for Buzzcocks at the Manchester Academy venue's 25th Anniversary on 10th October 2015.
5) Marion Rung is a singer from Finland, who has represented Finland twice in the Eurovision Song Contest. She releases her albums under the name Marion.
6) Marion was also the stage name of Marion Mitchell (16 at the time) during the UKM Rogaland 2007 competitions. She represented the municipality of Forsand, and sang a pop version of Eagles's "Desperado"
How Can I
Marion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We do not flee from the mortgagee,
Nary a care in the world have we,
How can love survive?
You're fond of bonds and you own a lot.
I have a plane and a diesel yacht,
Plenty of nothing you haven't got
No rides for us on the top of a bus
In the face of the freezing breezes.
You reach your goals in your comfy old Rolls
Or in one of your Mercedes!
Far, very far off the beam are we,
Quaint and bizarre as a team are we,
Two millionaires with a dream are we,
We're keeping romance alive.
Two millionaires with a dream are we,
We'll make our love survive
No little cold water flat have we,
Warmed by a glow of insolvency,
Up to your necks in security.
How can love survive?
How can I show what I feel for you?
I cannot go out and steal for you,
I cannot die like Camille for you.
How can love survive?
You millionaires with financial affairs
Are too busy for simple pleasure.
When you are poor it is toujours l'amour,
For l'amour all the poor have leisure!
Caught in our gold plated chains are we,
Lost in our wealthy domains are we,
Trapped by our capital gains are we,
But we'll keep romance alive.
Trapped by your capital gains are we,
We'll (You'll) make our (your) love survive!
In Marion's song "How Can I," the lyrics portray a stark contrast between two individuals in a romantic relationship who come from different socioeconomic backgrounds. The song explores the challenges they face in maintaining their love despite their differences in wealth and lifestyle.
The first verse highlights the differences in their living situations. One person lives in a small house or shack, while the other person is not burdened by financial constraints and the worries of a mortgage. This difference in circumstances can create a sense of unease and question the compatibility of their love.
The second verse accentuates the material possessions that separate them. One person is attracted to investments and owns properties and bonds, while the other person enjoys luxuries like planes and yachts. The line, "Plenty of nothing you haven't got," suggests that the wealthier person possesses everything they desire, leaving the other person feeling inadequate and questioning how their love can thrive under such circumstances.
The bridge of the song further emphasizes the divide between the two individuals. The poorer person finds joy in simple pleasures, like riding on the top of a bus, even in freezing weather. In contrast, the wealthier person achieves their goals effortlessly, either in a comfortable Rolls-Royce or one of their Mercedes cars. This stark difference in experiences and priorities presents a challenge to the sustainability of their love.
Despite these challenges, the chorus expresses the determination to keep their romance alive. The lines "Far, very far off the beam are we, Quaint and bizarre as a team are we" encapsulate their unique relationship dynamic and highlight the resilience and determination that they possess. They recognize that, despite being trapped by financial gains and differences in lifestyle, they will find a way to make their love survive.
Overall, "How Can I" explores the complexities of love between two individuals from different socioeconomic backgrounds, revealing the challenges they face and their determination to overcome them.

Lyrics :
Late at night
I am wondering
All alone I'm longing for your touch
Please come back to me
You've been so much a part of me
I just can't deny how much
I love you so
How can I forget
The day you said that
You would never leave me
How can I forget
The love that we shared
It's coming back to my life
Once again
Oooh
Every night I sleep by myself
It's so cold without you baby
When I close my eyes
You're all I see
Living in my dream
Make myself believe that you are
Here with me
How can I forget
The day you said that
You would never leave me
How can I forget
The love that we shared
It's coming back to my life
Once again
How can I forget the love
How can I forget
How can I forget
The day you said that
You would never leave me
How can I forget
The love that we shared
It's coming back to my life
Once again
How can I forget the love
How can I forget the love
✨✨✨
