    I made the huge mistake of not giving Laura’s music a chance. I listened to this album for the first time yesterday and I’m so annoyed at myself that I could have had it in my life for an extra 7 years! ❤️ stunning!

      I've been following Laura since the start, more or less. This was the album that made the biggest impression, but she actually lost me a bit with the couple of albums after the album after this one (but I also listened to other types of music, I guess); I loved her last album ~

      Yes, it is like a mini album of its own. Though it's not like there is any drop off in standard with tracks 5 & 6!! And the last four tracks are just as epic (and the final track returns to some of the tone of these first four songs).

    Okay, I suspect that Laura a little too quirky to be a superstar like Joan Baez, but she is such a unique talent that she may nonetheless be the best female voice out there in our time. Wow, just wow. She is like a Shakespeare of music. I cannot take my eyes and ears off this video. Complex and compelling.

    • @ronmimnaugh7674
      @ronmimnaugh7674 9 лет назад +1

      Take a look at her older live stuff. I think that it is much better than some of the new stuff. She seems like she has lost something. Not sure what. She is so melancholy now though. I still think that she is great
      She has talent. Real talent. No autotune needed with her.

    • @victoredwards0530
      @victoredwards0530 9 лет назад +2

      And yet modern music will not allow such talent to be big. We prefer the pop slop [yes, you can use the line] that is called American music to any real talent. Laura is a real talent, not some manufactured talent, like almost all pop music.

    • @toperic02
      @toperic02 9 лет назад +3

      Ron Mimnaugh It's all opinion but, apart from one or two songs, the old stuff is positively shallow compared to this. Real emotion and catharsis here, plus the music is so well constructed and complex. This album is on another level from previous stuff. Amazing!

    I sometimes think I'm hearing a female Lou Reed, especially in the deadpan spoken sections, then its Joni Mitchell, then Joan Baez, and then, most times, it can only be Laura Marling. As an aspirant guitar player and songwriter, I am taking lessons every time I hear one of her songs. :-)

      I was never really into Joni Mitchell, for some reason or other. I just did not like her voice very much, and found it difficult to get beyond that fact, even though she wrote very many, really great songs. Timeless classics, I suppose some would say. She always sounded so miserable to me! Really dreary! Very musical, 'tho. Like, some people always moan on about how awful they find Bob Dylans voice. I always really liked it. Love Bob Dylan!
      Anyways, Laura Marling is just something else. So talented. Brilliant. So emotive, evocative, meaningful, deep. One of the greatest singer/musician/songwriters ever. Without a doubt. I fucking love her, man! xxx.

      Yes, I have listened to and have been in awe of Zep and they have been one of my favorite rock bands since their debut in 1969, i fortunately saw them in 1970 (although very under the influence at the show) and still play their music on both my guitar and stereo to this day....Pagey is a GREAT guitarist and has commented favorable on Laura Marling's playing as well (she has covered his music on record)! Speaking of excellent female players, check out "Aya Guitar" on Facebook, a 15 yr. old Canadian guitarist who can play Jimmy Page's complex solo's note for note!

    Such a wonderful live version of the opening of her latest (and best?) album. I think she just keeps better as a writer, singer, instrumentalist. The segues are so subtle. I'm so glad I discovered her near the very beginning singing "Your Only Doll (Dora)" on "From the Basement" singing lyrics a woman of vast experience would and looking like a shy 17 year old.

    You should be gone beast
    Be gone from me
    Be gone from my mind at least
    Let a little lady be
    I don't want you to want me
    Wouldn't want you to know
    I don't care where you've gone beast
    I care where you go
    Take the night off
    And be bad for me
    Take it right off
    And be bad for me
    You're a night bird
    Early riser
    You have a kind of wing
    To take her and surprise her
    I didn't understand where you had gone
    Didn't know you'd be right back
    I didn't hear the night song
    Calling for you into the black
    Take the night off
    And be bad for me
    Didn't ask you to save me
    Not when you knew me well
    Wouldn't ask you even to behave for me
    I know there's no help in hell
    Take the night off
    And be bad for me
    Take it right off
    And be bad for me
    ....
    So your grandmother sounds to me
    A woman I would be proud to be
    And you say she reminds you of me
    Every little boy is so naive, oh
    I will not be a victim of romance
    I will not be a victim of circumstance
    Chance or circumstance or romance, or any man
    Who could get his dirty little hands on me
    So your grandfather sounds like me
    Head up, shoulders back and proud to be
    Every little girl is so naive
    Falling in love with the first man that she sees
    I will not be a victim of romance
    I will not be a victim of circumstance
    Chance or circumstance or romance, or any man
    Who could get his dirty little hands on me
    When we were in love, if we were
    When we were in love
    I was an eagle
    And you were a dove
    Today I will feel something other than regret
    Pass me a glass and a half-smoked cigarette
    I've damn near got no dignity left
    I've damn near got no dignity left, oh
    I will not be a victim of romance
    I will not be a victim of circumstance
    Chance or circumstance or romance, or any man
    Who could get his dirty little hands on me
    When we were in love, if we were
    When we were in love
    I was an eagle
    And you were a dove
    When we were in love, if we were
    When we were in love
    You were a dove
    And I rose above you and preyed
    ......
    Damn all those people who don't lose control
    Who will never take a foot out of life
    You might not think that I care
    But you don't know what I know
    And damn all those hippies
    Who stomp empty footed
    Upon all what's good
    All what's pure of the world
    You might not think that I care
    But you don't know what I know
    And bless all those mothers
    Who do all they can
    Just to take their thoughts out of the line
    I might not know what it's like
    But I'm glad that you know
    Give me a minute there
    Just a minute now
    It'll come back to me
    I was so sure but you,
    Freewheelin' troubadour
    You took my mind off the scene
    And you know when I know then I know
    I know that you know
    You asked me blind once
    If I was a child once
    And I said I'm really not sure
    How can you know, how can you know
    What it is, you don't know
    We were a pair once
    Of oh such despair oh
    We were a child then I'm sure
    If we were a child then
    We are children no more
    Give me a minute there
    Just a minute now
    It'll come back to me
    I was so sure but you
    Freewheelin' troubadour
    You took my mind off the scene
    And you know when I know when I know
    I know that you know
    You know you know you know when I know
    I know that you know
    ...
    You came here to tell me something
    I already know
    The dark before the dawn
    Is the darkest I can go
    The calm before the storm
    Is what leaves me here to breathe
    So breathe
    Us of constant banging
    Throwing fists against the wall
    Screaming at the earth for what
    It's done to one and all
    I came here to tell you something
    You already know
    Just breathe
    Breathe
    How cruel I am to you
    Cruel things I do
    How cruel you were to me
    How cruel time can be
    I wrote you a book
    But I left it out in the rain
    Left it there to dry
    But it got rained on once again
    Us of constant banging
    Throwing fists against the wall
    Breathe
    Breathe
    How cruel you are to me
    How cruel time can be
    How cruel I was to you
    How cruel the things I do
    When you wake you'll know I'm gone
    And where I'm going there's no one
    So don't follow me
    Whatever you may hear or see
    Don't follow me
    Whatever you may hear or see
    When you wake you'll know I'm gone
    And where I'm going there's no one
    So don't follow me
    Whatever you may hear or see
    Don't follow me

    Compare what she was doing at this age compared to all the shit nominated for Grammy's. It's a disgrace to our intelligence what passes as music these days. Almost everything nominated for a Grammy is here today, gone tomorrow trendy simplistic immature junk.
    Laura is wise beyond her year with a great mature voice and powerful lyrics. And it sounds great!

    She sounds very very much like Joni Mitchell and that is a good thing in 2014, because music should be made by the young.

    Its not unusual to know what guitar the lead singer of your favourite band uses, especially if you play guitar yourself. x

    does anyone know what guitar she's using?

    It looks like she's re-living each memory as she sings the lyrics. Makes the lyrical depth of most music just seem embarrassing.

    doubtful, she'd love that D28 more than some old fella! But like your thinking ;) X

    She reminds me of Judy Collins and Joni Mitchell, only better. :-)

    If i'm not mistaken, I believe that was the guitar of choice for her ex boyfriend Marcus Mumford. Perhaps she's feeling nostalgic.
