Nice to hear Laura, whom I consider to be one of Britains finest singer/ songwriters, covering a song from the genius that is Townes van Zandt - and doing a bloody good job of it !
Love this - the rolling accompaniment is really different from Townes' sparse flatpicking, but it's just as intimate and emotional as his. TY Laura - I think many of us would love to hear you cover other Townes songs. Brava.
Good lord. I think I just died and went to heaven ❤️ My most revered musical goddess Laura Marling covering my most deeply treasured Townes Van Zandt song. Pure bliss. I think I shed a tear...
+arnold jerone hey i'm pretty sure its open D (DADF#AD). This makes it open E (EBEG#BE) with a capo on 2. It is the same tuning as The Cave and other songs by Mumford & Sons.
+arnold jerone Agreed. IT looks like DADF#AD. She uses it on the song Narrow Road for the Guild Sessions (somewhere on youtube here) and these chords seem similar. It's the same as Hope in the Air, but with the F sharpened.
Laura has two accents, her fake american for copying covers, and her english intro. Which is the real Laura Marling? She suffers from a lack of authenticity.
