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"

Marion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
les boutons et la quête de sens
Mon système hormonal en transe
Ma vie sociale en absence
Les seins qui gonflent le corps qui enfle
ils appellent ça la matrescence
Si tu t’entraînes comme une machine
Tu perds la mémoire de tout ce qu’ils disent
Tu perds la mémoire de tout ce qu’ils disent
Tes problèmes de meuf on s’en fout
On paie une poule mais l’oeuf c’est pas le moment
Appellent ta maman mais pas nous
Tu te sens toute moche c’est pas le moment
Prends ta pilule ranges ta poussette ma grande
Avales tout le tube c’est pas le moment
Tu crois t’es la seule starlette à vendre
Gardes ton poids plumes c’est pas le moment
J’ai envie de faire tout ce qui faut pas
Je veux des sushis et de la vodka
Fais ton yoga t’as la vie en toi
Tu dois rien dire pour travailler
Je suis loin de moi je me sens juger
J’ai pas le droit d’avoir ces pensées
Si tu t’entraînes comme une machine
Tu perds la mémoire de tout ce qu’ils disent
Si tu t’entraînes comme une machine
Tu perds la mémoire de tout ce qu’ils disent
Tes problèmes de meuf on s’en fout
On paie une poule mais l’oeuf c’est pas le moment
Appellent ta maman mais pas nous
Tu te sens toute moche c’est pas le moment
Prends ta pilule ranges ta poussette ma grande
Avales tout le tube c’est pas le moment
Tu crois t’es la seule starlette à vendre
Gardes ton poids plumes c’est pas le moment
Je veux me réveiller comme avant
Me sentir bien juste un instant
Pour ce rêve-là c’est pas le moment
The lyrics of Marion's song "Moments" delve into the experiences and challenges faced during adolescence and early adulthood. The song reflects on the physical changes and hormonal fluctuations that occur during this stage, represented by the line "Les seins qui gonflent le corps qui enfle" (The swelling breasts, the body that expands). It also touches on the confusion and search for meaning that often accompanies this phase, as expressed in the line "les boutons et la quête de sens" (the pimples and the quest for meaning).
The song criticizes societal pressures and expectations placed on women, particularly regarding appearance and motherhood. Lines like "Tes problèmes de meuf on s’en fout" (We don't care about your girl problems) and "Prends ta pilule ranges ta poussette ma grande" (Take your pill, put away your stroller, girl) shed light on the dismissive attitude towards women's issues and the pressure to conform to traditional gender roles.
Additionally, the lyrics emphasize the weight of societal judgment and the struggle to maintain personal identity while being constantly scrutinized. The line "Je suis loin de moi je me sens juger" (I am far from myself, I feel judged) conveys the feeling of being disconnected from oneself and the difficulty of being true to one's desires and thoughts in a judgmental society.
The repeated chorus emphasizes the idea of losing one's agency and individuality by conforming to societal expectations, symbolized by training like a machine. The lyrics suggest that this conformity leads to a loss of memory and disregard for one's own needs and desires.
Overall, the lyrics of "Moments" reflect on the complexities and challenges of adolescence and early adulthood, exploring themes of identity, societal pressure, and the struggle for self-acceptance amidst external expectations.

Grasping for tender moments I hold onto like delicate keepsakes.
They are so few and far between.
And I'm grateful for the memorability of each moment.
Moments wrapped in romance that end with bitter sunrises and goodbyes.
Moments so fragile and rare that I wonder.
If they would have the same taste if not such a delicacy.
But I'd still devour you as I lay here and recall years of wavering emotions.
Suppressed desires and volcanic explosions that retreat into dormancy.
I wonder could we ever flow together.
Or are we two twin souls finding each other in the wrong lifetime.
