She's literally singing to her past pain and addictions, acknowledging that for a time they seemed helpful and safe for her. RAYE THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL I CAN'T
Mary Jane, sweet, sweet Mary Jane When you touch my mouth I levitate You take these bitter thoughts in my brain And let them fall like summer rain Sweet Mary Jane Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, mm Codeine Silent, marvelous codeine How I miss your chemical hug Since I been clean, oh, ooh But you hold me better than any man did And no one's done it like you since Codeine, mmm Sweet, sweet, sweet Sweet, sweet Mary Jane And codeine can kill any pain Hmm, red wine You always gave me the best advice Mmm, you gave me courage To call the man who makes me cry And I bought three bottles 'Cause I tend to drink you dry, mmm, mm-mm-mmm Oh, how we've danced tonight Red, red wine Sweet, sweet, sweet Sweet, sweet Mary Jane, yeah And codeine can kill any pain Mandy, dear Oh, when I met you, we had quite the year You showed me love so pure, so strong Then left me in bed, so alone You're a stone-cold bitch in the morning Aren't you? Aren't you, Mandy? Sweet, sweet, sweet Sweet, sweet Mary Jane (sweet Mary Jane) And codeine can kill any pain Mm-mm-mmm
As someone who's done a lot of drugs in the past, this track really hits hard. I've given up drinking and all the other things, but I'd be a liar if I said I dont miss it. I hate that I romanticize that period of my life but I'm glad I'm not the only one lol. This album is badass, keep it up. I've been a fan since day one ❤
I am so obsessed with this song. The whole album is just a masterpiece. Of the songs I’d not already heard as singles, this is my fave, along with Flip a Switch, and I also adore Ice Cream Man and Oscar Winning Tears 🖤
Put the Rolling Stones’ “Sister Morphine” and this track back to back and you probably have the two best songs about substances. And remember that Mick Jagger wrote the riff, but the lyrics to “Sister Morphine” are from Marianne Faithfull. Take a bow, ladies. Fuckin’ hell.
Love it! The vocals, the instrumental, the lyrics.. sweet emotions! ❤ I recently stop smoking weed… and other shit… but weed was my favorite thing in the whole world for many, many years… until it wasn’t. Now I’m clean and sober and never going back to who I was. But sometimes I do reminisce about the past… this song does that to me. RAYE, I fucking love you and your new music!!! 😃
"Mmm red wine You always gave me the best advice You gave me courage To call the man who makes me cry" last summer with my ex boyfriend but I was drinking Negroni cocktail
WOW is this Amy winehouse cousin/sister or perhaps friend???? Lawd have gentle mercies this WOMAN 👠 👠 can BLOW!!!! WOW she should have millions of views on this song❤❤ 🔥🔥🔥💋♥️💋♥️
My favourite so far… listened a thousand times now… love all the songs, this one tho, the way you sing this… ooooffftt, the high falsetto voice…. Sooo good ❤️
5:03 the pure, triumphant joy 🥹 i seriously can’t stop replaying this part, she’s come so far she should be proud of herself. An inspiration, truly. Keep slaying Queen ❤️🔥💋🔥👠
I hope someone put the chords in ukulele. I love love love this song, I want to play it. I think it's one of my fav of the album, though I love the whole thing. I love you Raye, thank you for existing!!
After linkin park music was kinda " dead " for me , thank u for bringing a fresh breath to the industry again, please stay as unique as u are and ur doing more then amazing

what happened
This comment I like
In this is song with just her vocals + the guitar is just something beautiful and a proof that a song doesn’t a lot of things to be iconic🤍☁️🫧🪽
Mary Jane, sweet, sweet Mary Jane
When you touch my mouth
I levitate
You take these bitter thoughts in my brain
And let them fall like summer rain
Sweet Mary Jane
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, mm
Codeine
Silent, marvelous codeine
How I miss your chemical hug
Since I been clean, oh, ooh
But you hold me better than any man did
And no one's done it like you since
Codeine, mmm
Sweet, sweet, sweet
Sweet, sweet Mary Jane
And codeine can kill any pain
Hmm, red wine
You always gave me the best advice
Mmm, you gave me courage
To call the man who makes me cry
And I bought three bottles
'Cause I tend to drink you dry, mmm, mm-mm-mmm
Oh, how we've danced tonight
Red, red wine
Sweet, sweet, sweet
Sweet, sweet Mary Jane, yeah
And codeine can kill any pain
Mandy, dear
Oh, when I met you, we had quite the year
You showed me love so pure, so strong
Then left me in bed, so alone
You're a stone-cold bitch in the morning
Aren't you?
Aren't you, Mandy?
Sweet, sweet, sweet
Sweet, sweet Mary Jane (sweet Mary Jane)
And codeine can kill any pain
Mm-mm-mmm
Album of the year!!
You were right👍🇬🇧👌

Raye is a rare gem 💎 truly an authentic artist and just keeps giving 💖💐

Quien más desvelandose en LATAM para escuchar esta obra de arte?
I’m not crying. *You’re* crying. 😭
It feels like You understand every beat of ma heart, Raye...
Love it! The vocals, the instrumental, the lyrics.. sweet emotions! ❤ I recently stop smoking weed… and other shit… but weed was my favorite thing in the whole world for many, many years… until it wasn’t.

RAYE, I fucking love you and your new music!!! 😃
I've never been on anything, but this song hits hard. Inspires to never get addicted to any shit
You on social media.
Definitely addictive. 🥴
Wow this is one unbelievable track. Outstanding lyrics, music and of course vocals. It's bluesy, soulful, moving and delivers on all levels.

Not sure who held her back, probably the label. Going to be the biggest artist since no-one gonna break all the records.
Yep she put them on blast for not releasing her album so they let her go and she's doing very well independent she's got her first US shows coming up.
This song has been on repeat❤️🤌
Amazing 🎉
