Acclaimed singer-songwriter Anya Marina has announced the premiere of her new single, “Nothing Lasts,” available today via Good Rope Records. Produced by Marina and musician/producer/songwriter Chris Hansen (Matt Pond PA) the irresistibly cinematic track is joined by an equally compelling official music video, streaming now at YouTube HERE.

“The most straightforwardly autobiographical song I’ve ever written,” according to Marina, “Nothing Lasts” unspools sweet, humorous vignettes – both spoken and sung – of a young girl starting to grasp the passage of time. Despite its upbeat, enchanting melody and tinkling barroom piano (Erik Deutsch), the song artfully addresses unsettling change while embracing, via Tears for Fears’ “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” and The Beatles, the enduring transcendence of music.
“In the past few years, I’ve lost close friends, relationships have ended and started, I’ve moved, and said goodbye to people and cities I loved,” says Anya Marina, “Collectively, we’ve all undergone much sadness, watching the world go through a lot of turmoil. ‘Nothing lasts’ has been my mantra.”
Directed by Rhode Island-based photographer and cinematographer Jesse DuFault, the official music video for “Nothing Lasts” builds upon the song’s gracefully nostalgic thematic nature by interpolating clips taken from a home movie given to Marina by her father on her 18th birthday comprised of highlights of her life to that point, including material filmed during her childhood as a competitive ice skater growing up in Cupertino, CA. The evocative footage is interwoven with present day material filmed earlier this year at West Orange, NJ’s Essex County Codey Arena which sees Marina donning her skates once again after years away from the ice.
“Figure skating, like songwriting, is a solitary sport,” says Marina, “only it’s colder and more strenuous (depends on the song). It’s also very meditative. You have to be totally present and in your body to skate effectively – after all, those are knives on your feet. I can’t tell you how many hours of my youth were spent skating around and around, mostly alone, on the ice, dreaming up songs and stories and routines. All these years later and quite unexpectedly, so much came back to me very quickly – it was amazing.
“The final product features my sister, mom, and dad, my cousin, so many childhood friends – all of whom were at my wedding to my husband, Matt Pond, at my friend, actress Kate Walsh’s apartment in Greenwich Village, where my best friend Nikki Glaser married us. To see all the footage woven together over this very autobiographical song was a dream come true.”
Marina will mark the arrival of “Nothing Lasts” with a number of upcoming live dates supporting comedian Nikki Glaser on her sold-out Alive and Unwell Tour, including shows tomorrow at Washington, DC’s Warner Theatre (June 21), Ledyard, and CT’s Grand Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino (June 22 and 23) and more.
