@Animatefate Maybe he's thinking of her Ladies of the Canyon era. The emotion evoked is similar, but vocally she's totally different to Joni. Laura doesn't really use the falsetto much. She's a remarkable talent, her music and her voice and her lyrics, all highly distinctive. I hope the industry doesn't break her, because I'd love to be listening to her songs 30 years from now. I'd say longer, but 30 more years for me is quite optimistic.
I was sitting here waiting for a video. Waiting for her to move. So I'm here like "Wow! She's so good at not blinking! But why aren't her lips mov-- oh."
@HangOnToYourEgo That's an interesting interpretation! Makes me feel a bit better about the line, though I do still think there's at least some conservatism behind it, it's comforting to think there might be a bit more than that. But I don't think wearing a Che Guevara hoodie means much tbh, those things are practically more style than political...
Absolutely beautiful, except the opening line - 'I choose to far stay away from the ones that think money is money to share'. I'm not even that much of a lefty but it hurts me that she'd want to put that in a song.
Most definitely not. Joan wrote topical songs, songs about war and peace and love and the world. Of course she sung about other things as well, but she was much more abstract in her song writing, not to mention that her songs became part of a huge activist movement because of it's messages. Not saying Joan Baez is better or worse than Laura Marling but they're two distinct performers and the only thing they have in common is that they both sing beautifully and play the guitar.
her lyrics are genius and so flowing
I don't use to appreciate live versions, but this one is truly an exception.
finally...someone that knows how to write a song as well as lyrics that fit the music
this song broke my heart last night at her show in LA.
my friend just posted on Facebook about going to see her live.. how did I not know about her before?!
guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching
what a talent
Me fascina!
I lovee this album.... but I loved her old stuff so much better. it was spunkier and more alive.
I hear Jony Mitchell in her voise, so beautiful!!
same Impression !
And lyrics!
September! gahhhhh so excited.
A Laura e muito talentosa.e bonita
miss you too x
at first i thought this was the beginning of a video and she was just sitting very very still..
This version is better than the album's version.
@Jefflowe22 awesome :) I can't wait!

she looks amazin with brown hair
She's a storyteller guys...
i love and miss you too huni xoxo
Would love to hear Robert Plant cover this.
Modern day Joni Mitchell with a country flair.
this song reminds me of Joni Mitchell a bit..its beautiful
@HerrKamperfrager very well, i'm glad i'm on the same page now
I can feel a lot of Joni Mitchell in this too
@lunardaddy Hell yeah
She sounds like Martha Wainwright with lyrics that Greg Dulli would be proud of.
@rikanechimo My exact reaction too!
Great tribute to Tim Hardin.

@Jefflowe22 when is it coming out?
ditto >.<

Gosh she sounds like Joni Mitchell in this song.
Whoever likes her may also like Joanna Newsom :)
@HerrKamperfrager i cant tell if your comment is sarcasm, but if not, they're not even in the same genre. It's asinine to compare the two.
OOooo! Her hair is brown now!
She looks pretty with brown hair but to me she looks the most Laura Marling with blonde hair :-)
why is one of the top comments about politics!? Laura Marling's voice is amazing and breath taking, stuff political bollocks and listen to this angel!
Absolutely beautiful, except the opening line - 'I choose to far stay away from the ones that think money is money to share'. I'm not even that much of a lefty but it hurts me that she'd want to put that in a song.
Was curious about that. Ever find out anything about it?
I understand it as meaning that when you do well financially, many people pretend to be your friend but all they want is your money.
is this sped up or is it just me? sounds chip-munk-esque?
@babyblues22s very Joni...
she sounds a little like Joni Mitchell sometimes :)
Okay then...
you say that as though its a bad thing lol!
Umm...can anyone say Jonie Mitchel???
check my videos for a live version of this I filmed at the lowry, salford
I see her as a modern English version of Joan Baez no?
Most definitely not. Joan wrote topical songs, songs about war and peace and love and the world. Of course she sung about other things as well, but she was much more abstract in her song writing, not to mention that her songs became part of a huge activist movement because of it's messages.
