Cover art for Marilyn lyrics by Bat for Lashes

Natasha explained it to Qthemusic: "This is one of my favourites. It's really romantic to me. It's one I worked with Beck on and the little arpeggio sounds and shoegazey guitars came from the sessions with him. I've got fond memories of recording it. It's about being in love with someone who is unattainable. It's a romantic, gushy sweet song. I love how experimental and playful Beck is still. He's always got an energy. He has a lovely family too. I hung out with his kids and his wife and we had a lovely time."
