Nadler studied painting at the Rhode Island School of Design, where she began her performing career after writing songs for many years.
The foundation of her sound is her haunting mezzo-soprano, and a delicate 6-string acoustic guitar, often accompanied by a variety of instruments, including electric guitar, theremin, and piano. Nadler writes strange, yet classic, melancholy songs. Her voice is often bathed in a wash of reverb and space echo and creates a ghostly, atmospheric feeling to the music.
She has American Gothic leanings; her songs often take place in an imagined, idealistic time with a cast of characters of her own creation.

Wedding
Marissa Nadler Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll wait for you to come around
When you land I'll be around
I'll wait for you to come around
Give me a chance I'll make you a ring
and we'll fly to our wedding
give me a chance I'll make you see
When you rise
I'll be around
I'll wait for you
to come around
and when you land
I'll be around
I'll wait for you
to come around
Give me a chance I'll make you a ring
and we'll fly to our wedding
give me a chance I'll make you a ring
and we'll fly to our wedding
The lyrics of Marissa Nadler's song "Wedding" seem to describe a deep longing to be with someone, to the point of waiting for them to "rise" or "land." The repetition of "I'll be around" and "I'll wait for you to come around" throughout the song creates an atmosphere of patience and devotion.
The singer then goes on to ask for a chance to prove their love, offering to make a ring for their beloved and fly to their wedding. This could be interpreted as a proposal or a promise of commitment, with the singer willing to go to great lengths to prove their love.
