The songs she wrote as a 15 year old make me wonder what exactly it is that's keeping me from even attempting to do something as great at my age of 15. She should be an icon to teenagers! :) So here I go, ready to try to do something great and kind. :)
She makes me proud to have the name Laura. Her lyrics have brought me through a lot of difficult situations. I love you Laura, don't ever stop writing.
Bjork is an incredibly influential, innovative and provocative pop artist of the late 20th century who is still as bloody flawless today. Someone clearly needs a crash course in what constitutes good music.
Blinded by the Light. I opened my Eyes for the first time and saw a Powder Blue Carnation with Bright Red Ladybirds surrounding it as if to say aren't I Beautiful just being in this World for you What is the use of more than something incredible to look at and admire for the simple fact of existence it's self to wander all through your life so true The passage of time takes us to places we only ever dreamed of and within the journey is a secret of life's passion showing us diversity in everything we see or do A chance to change our narrow minds into a clear vision of which there is no obstruction to truly feel the Earth beating it's heart inside pursuing the Colour of what Hue.
Oh, I have been wondering where I have been pondering Where I've been lately is no concern of yours Who's been touching my skin Who have I been letting Shy and tired-eyed am I today Umm I'm wounded by dust All I have been wondering where I have been pondering Where I've been lately is no concern of yours Who's been touching my skin Who have I been letting Shy and tired-eyed am I today Ooh, ooh, ooh Sometimes I sit, sometimes I stare Sometimes they look and sometimes I don't care Rarely I weep, sometimes I must I'm wounded by dust When the bell toll, when the bell gon' chime You better call for your woman up high And when the bell tolls for your last day You'll be getting down on your knees to pray I'm a good woman and I never did say whatever it was that you did that day I'm not a woman that is going to place claim, but you said that it was coming on judgement day Now Sophia I'm wounded by dust When the bell toll, when the bell gon' chime You better call for your woman up high And when the bell tolls for your last day You'll be getting down on your knees to pray I'm a good woman and I never did say whatever it was that you did that day I'm not a woman that is going to place claim, but you said that it was coming on judgement day Now Sophia (Sophia) I'm wounded by dust Now Sophia
Her voice at the beginning of this tune sounds different!!!!!!!!!!. I cant describe it but it then goes back to her! absolutely loverly `performance Laura!
I'm 14 and I like Laura Marling too, but you can't deny the fact that most of the people at your school would rather listen to Drake or Rihanna or One Direction... Unless if you're like in the coolest school ever and if so then props to the principal.
Couldn't love this more, if the rest of the album show's this I will be very happy. each album seems to be really different and this seems to be a slightly more mature sound. The joni mitchell ref is spot on!!
i went into HMV and there was a slot for this album and i was shocked and so excited and had a look and then i found out hidden by other CDs it said - coming this september. ARGH
I have a really weird theory about this song being both lyrically and musically indicative about getting over a relationship with Marcus Mumford. "I'm a good woman and I never did say whatever it was that you did that day."
@mdsq36 It will be Sophie Milner (check out her website!) , she does the cover art for Mumford and Sons too. She just graduated from Edinburgh College of Art this year, I went to see her degree show!
at about 2:15 onwards she sounds like Joni Mitchell in the higher notes... that's an amazing feat! I love Laura, and always will if he she keeps going like this!
@HeatherHORRORz I agree. She does seem kind of caught up in herself. She's not self-centered, but she's kind of in her own little world. I wish she would pay more attention to her fans. It would a give her a spark that I would love to see more of.
I always wanted a song about my first name (but it's never gonna happen because it's a really uncommon one haha) but my given name is Sophia and as I love Laura this is even better!
Guys and girls, maybe it's not working in your country but you can watch a good concert live ( Laura Marling is playing in one hour) on the Internet, write on Google " festival les inrocks direct"
Is it a coincidence - that this song is about Sophie/a - by laura - and the person who destroyed my faith in humanity was called Laura? Id be interested to work out the names of it all if you know what I mean.
@jobiwonkinosi @tom9987 I stand corrected :) I knew Alas for sure...I thought she had illustrated the CD sleeves for I Speak as well. The box set I bought said the postcards were drawn by her so I thought the rest of the album would've been too!
