Marlow may refer to:
Charles Marlow is a recurring character in the work of Polish-born English novelist Joseph Conrad. Marlow is an alter ego of Conrad; both are sailors for the British Empire during the late 19th and early 20th centuries during the height of British imperialism.
Marlow narrates several of Conrad's best-known works such as the novels Lord Jim and Chance, as well as the framed narrative in Heart of Darkness, and his short story Youth. The stories are not told entirely from Marlow's perspective, however. There is also an omniscient narrator who introduces Marlow and some of the other characters. Once introduced, Marlow then proceeds to tell the actual tale, creating a story-within-a-story effect.
In Heart of Darkness the omniscient narrator observes that "yarns of seamen have a direct simplicity, the whole meaning of which lies within the shell of a cracked nut. But Marlow was not typical [...] and to him the meaning of an episode was not inside like a kernel but outside, enveloping the tale which brought it out only as a glow brings out a haze."
Great Marlow, sometimes simply called Marlow, was a parliamentary borough in Buckinghamshire. It elected two Members of Parliament (MPs) to the House of Commons between 1301 and 1307, and again from 1624 until 1868, and then one member from 1868 until 1885, when the borough was abolished.
In the 17th century a solicitor named William Hakewill, of Lincoln's Inn, rediscovered ancient writs confirming that Amersham, Great Marlow, and Wendover had all sent members to Parliament in the past, and succeeded in re-establishing their privileges (despite the opposition of James I), so that they resumed electing members from the Parliament of 1624. Hakewill himself was elected for Amersham in 1624.

Sometimes I think
When I look up real high
That's there's such a big world up there
I'd like to give it a try
But then I sink
Cause it's here I'm supposed to stay
But I get so lonely down here
Tell me why's it have to be that way?
Up there, there is so much room
Where baby's burp and flowers bloom
Everyone dreams I can dream too
Up there
Up where the skies are ocean blue
I could be safe and live without a care
Up there
They say I don't belong
I must stay below alone
Because of my beliefs
I'm supposed to stay when evil is sown.
But what is evil anyway
Is there reason to the rhyme
"Without evil there could be no good
So it must be good to be evil sometimes"
Up there, there is so much room
Where baby's burp and flowers bloom
Everyone dreams I can dream too
Up there
Up where the skys are ocean blue
I could be safe and live without a care
Live without a care
If only I could live up there
Oh I wanna live yeah
I wanna live up there
Oh baby
Oh
I want to live up there
