Marilyn Manson's New Single "Heart-Shaped Glasses" and Video Clip: I Don't Hate It
This is a preview of the forthcoming video for Marilyn Manson's new single, "Heart-Shaped Glasses" from his new album, Eat Me, Drink Me, which was inspired by his new girlfriend, 19-year-old Rachel Evan Wood. The single is getting some heavy rotation on alternative radio. YouTube has full length versions of the song also.
And I don't hate it. I kind of like it. It's like a softer, gentler side of Manson. He gets in touch with his feelings. Feelings of lust for a much younger woman (well, I guess 19 is considered a woman, in a creepy way). Manson talks about how the song came about:
"When I wrote the song that’s the single ‘Heart Shaped Glasses’ it was one of the songs that I really expected an immediate response from the record label from, in the way like ‘of course that’s a single’ and it was almost embarrassing in the way that I thought it was so obvious. The song was written in a simple way, I was reading the book Lolita and it was something inspired by my current girlfriend Rachel Evan Wood who’s obviously much younger than me, but having the sarcasm to make the point of that and showing up to visit me once wearing heart-shaped glasses which is the same as the Kubrik movie poster for the film Lolita and me saying what I say in the Chorus of the song. I said that to her and I suddenly realized I should really write a song about that and it never occurred to me in my entire career, my entire life that, that’s how you should write songs. It should be the part of your personality that you might feel guarded or too secret to put out the rest of the world."
I don't approve of his relationship with Rachel Evan Wood, but you know what, it's none of my business if a 38-year-old wannabe vampire feels the need to play out some kind of fantasy by preying on vulnerable young women who are taken in by their fame and iconistic charisma. Obviously what Marilyn lacks in maturity and appearance he makes up in personality and charm, because he's had no shortage of hot women, including his two exes Rose McGowan, and more recently wife,Dita Von Teese.
