Unknown Song (also known as The Painter) is an unreleased song by Marina Diamandis.
The song was written by Marina alone. However, any producers are unknown.
Background[]
On August 17, 2021, Marina shared an image of a journal on a piano with the lyrics covered on Instagram, leaving the supposed title at the top, which was assumed to be "The Painter", among other names such as "Be Patient" or "Be Kinder".[1]
It was originally speculated the song would appear on the deluxe reissue of Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land. However, it was not featured on the tracklist. The song is thought to be intended for her Sixth Studio Album. It is possible that the song became a poem, as Marina said that the early album sessions would eventually turn into poems.[2]
On an unknown date, Marina deleted her Instagram post.
On November 25, 2022, a snippet reported to be "The Painter" leaked on DBREE.[3] However, due to the fact that the name "The Painter" came from a largely unintelligible image, the snippet is likely from a different song.
