Was it the trems on the "bayaya"?
You a trumpet player?
Finally some guitar on this channel but all you care about is piano, piano, piano... Unsubcribed.
Okay but what about the guitar players. We exist too 🥲
@@m4ssee ikr
holy shit as a vocalist i am stunned by her sound. her tone quality, the control she has, the precision at which she navigates the different ranges in her voice, oh my god!!!! she is phenomenal
She's right up there with Edith & Ella..
I thought that was a breed of musician that had died out...
I'm not easily impressed.. I'm profoundly impressed by this.
to say it's impressive would be an understatement. her sense of control is absolutely astounding. truly phenomenal!
She is amazing
@@cassettestore who is she?
@@nenyeo6090 Laufey
Can we talk about on top of her voice, her guitar playing was *phenomenal* . Literally makes it seem so easy to play and sing
The chords are not that hard to play, it's a simple pattern. I liked her dynamics.
@@CalebePriester standalone they aren't but while singing intermediate stuff becomes hard suddenly, at least for me and most people
@@lukaskuipers7791 Practice, practice, practice. Start with basic stuff. Simple chords, maybe one stroke every measure and then work you way around it. Play two strokes every measure, then four, then try to arpeggiate the chord, all of that while singing of course.
I see people saying "I can't do this and I can't do that". That's a bad mindset. We can do anything we want as long as we put the time, energy, sometimes money, into it.
Now, of course there are things that are impossible to do, but you got the point. One time I saw this guy playing guitar with his feet because he did not have hands! lol And he was playing pretty good! With one foot he was fretting the guitar and with the other he was picking the strings.
@@CalebePriester yesss you are right. Whenever I'm just playing chords and chord melodies I always imagine how great it'd be to sing along with my playing, but whenever I try I'm disappointed. Just means I need more practice and patience.
@@CalebePriester i like your viewpoint
Her grandfather was a legendary violin professor in China's Juilliard. The classical precision and training shows in her playing.
I was shocked when Laufey revealed in her TikTok that her family was full of musicians. Her twin sister is a talented violinist and they said that their mother is also a musician. Now you're telling me that their grandfather is a legendary violin professor? It runs their genes.
@@coffeetoffee6589 if we’re being honest it’s not a question of genetics… it’s about means.
@@dreampinkreel wrong. it's not about genetics or means. It's about having the willpower and discipline to practice. Anyone can become this good with a 50$ guitar and with total commitment, period.
@@zynthio I dare hoping you’re not older than me cause this is quite a simple minded opinion
@@dreampinkreelnah he’s kinda right, as far as talent can take you, musicians like Laufey are at the level they are because of the thousands of hours they’ve put into practicing their craft. Not to say she’s not talented or that her family isn’t musical, I just wanna emphasize how much work musicians put in and how far you can get by practicing consistently
Good musicianship. Surprisingly deep voice. Lovely tone all around.
how is her voice "surprisingly deep" are you on drugs
U can tell shes trying to sing deep in the intro
@@cringystingy8025 I was impressed by how she was even able to sing that low at all. Most people do not push themselves and they just stay with what is comfortable. Doing this sort of thing encourages healthy development.
@@cringystingy8025 she's got a rope tied against her vocal chords to get this timbre. Look closely.
@@davidpontius1084 lolll a G3 is not that low 😭
starting to think that George has a crush on her....
Who doesn’t?? 😂
Wouldnt blame him tbh
Guilty as charged
Who wouldnt
I ship it.
Laufey sounds like a sweet dream; the lower-mezzo range, the rich and round tone, the Disney princess vibrato, and jazzy chord backings.
😊
pls dont say jazzy
@@περδικιοςπερδεμενοςπερδικας Jazzy

beautifully put!
I can't sing like her.
I can't play like her.
While she did both angelically.
it's alright
You for sure can play like her at least
Practice, practice, practice...
can you practice like her? If so, then you probably can someday.
ion know about singing, but ya sure can play it if you take some time :)
And nobody's gonna talk about the lyrics? Her writings are insanely good. Gosh!
It’s so authentic. Instead of just “I’m in love” it has depth. It’s so nice, and so refreshing seeing artists like her get attention.
@@Sorasnoctis Facts
It makes sense that she grew up in a family of classical musicians, everything about her is so polished.
She’s a distillation of so many of the things I love about Ella Fitzgerald and Vera Lynn’s voices. Really wonderful stuff.
Initially odd choice to have the guitar on two staves but definitely made sense with what she was playing and using it for
only way for it to be on 1 stave is to write it 1 octave higher
@@MingJianYap as is traditional for guitar sheet music :)
My main point being that typically you see guitar music on one staff, but because the playing here was mostly bassline and chord filling, the split staves make more sense
ME TOOOO
@@MingJianYap The guitar is an octave transposing instrument. It is notated in treble clef and sounds one octave below what is written.
I'm so glad you're giving Laufey some attention on this channel! Recently, I've listened to her songs a lot. "Fragile" is amazing and either makes me cry or get goosebumps every time. I don't know how she does it
Yesss I found out about her through this channel her music is amazing
He’s been having a lot better dreams than I have.
in my dream i was struck by lightning
oh and the dream before that i was hit by a tornado im not making this up
@@broundothisrightneow I dreamt i was a murderer and when i woke up i still thought i was a murderer but then i had to reassure myself that i was not in fact a murderer by asking myself questions like "where did i kill someone", "who did i kill" and stuff. Really anxiety inducing lmao.
@@s34n2 o_o time for psychoanalysis
As a severe arachnaphobe I feel it 😅 I wake up sometimes feeling like something is crawling all over my body. It's great!
those chords are straight from heaven
Yea
Ikr
You should listen to This never happened before from the musical Bonnie & Clyde. same key, almost the same chords
I really like the vocals!! And paired with the cords this is like a dream..
0:43 (the full bar) is absolutely astounding. Her control is impressive (to say the least).
She’s got such a warm voice. Great jazz comping too. I wanted a guitar solo but that scat section was on point. Definitely subbing.
PLEASE KEEP TRANSCRIBING LAUFEY i love these so much
This guitar arrangement is charismatic af, those lyrics made you remember that time - or this time, I hope, for all of you - you fell in love without even noticing. The melody just beautifully reminds you how helplessy happy you are be to have found one that makes it all brighter. Delightful.
That was amazing
Literally sounds like I'm where Remy was in Ratatouille on the roof overlooking all of Paris
I'm so glad you found Laufey! She's far and away my favorite female artist. Her gorgeous music plus excellent transcriptions is a dream come true.
@@scladoffle2472 no its not you tranz freakazoid. Male/female artists have different styles due to biology
@@scladoffle2472 i reported your leftist nazo comment
@@scladoffle2472 Why have one favorite artist when you can have two?
@@Seissmo tbh (as a woman) its a bit dehumanizing when there's "my favorite artist vs my favorite female artist"
Like, imagine "my favorite painter" and "my favorite black painter"
Yet since women's accomplishments are undervalued in comparison to men's, now we have to be seperated from them to be able to be recognized for our work and talent.
@@thewooddove2 I understand that, but I think they just meant that (maybe) their favorite artist was a guy or smth, but Laufey happens to be their favorite artist that is a woman. They were just being specific. I’m just assuming here, it was probably just a misunderstanding.
No doubt inspired by "These Foolish Things", key and harmony and all. One of my favorite standards and super fun to play on guitar, and it sounds great on a classical like this!
I remember coming across this video a year ago and it's cool to see her do well now with her latest album.
SAME.
SAME
SAME.
SAME.
This is one of the most simple, beautiful, gentle and well written songs that I've heard in English
I clicked on this video without intention, but it was a beautiful surprise.
I will definitely listen to this from time to time now! Keep the delightful work up. You have a beautiful voice!
Your technique is absolutely remarkable and your timbre is so beautiful I cannot stop listening. Reminds me of the early days of popular music.
I woke up this morning, walking to my balcony when my wife come with a coffee and a jammed toast. There I was sitting while greeting everyone passing by on the pedestrian... Everything happened with this song on the background, making things move vintage but looks cool and mesmerizing.
Then I woke up, realizing it's just a dream. And I'm still single.
I need to find more music like this. The great musicianship all around, the beautiful voice, and the great harmonies was amazing.
My jaw is on the floor. What stellar tone and control!!!
I just got back here after a while. I wanna thank this channel for introducing me to Laufey. Thank you. 💟
anything laufey composes and sings makes me so happy
Sounds like "A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes", relates to the title of the video and some of the chord structures are quite similar, certainly does sound like a dream
Every laufey song is a banger and that’s a fact.
banger😭wouldnt say that
more like bliss
How are there not birds flying into her room in the morning to braid her hair and deer, rabbits and other forest creatures falling asleep next to her bed, while an evil witch tries to sniff her shoes or something I don't know it's been a while since I read princess stories
this is my favorite song ever.
Astonishing, especially the voice and control! Beautiful thank you both!
God darn it, even the "listening" at 2:41 has gorgeous vibrato
Found her on TH-cam a few weeks back, her voice is amazing. Could definitely mistake this for background music in a movie set in the 80's where the main character is walking on the streets and doing their daily routine.
Crazy vocal control, makes it sound so completely effortless. Amazing
Her voice is so smooth and beautiful. So is her guitar playing. It’s simply amazing
1:38 singing that descending minor 9th is very difficult. Her intonation is excellent
she is such an amazing singer. and the way she can match any mood she wants on a weird variety of instruments is just. crazy.
That B is every time givinig me goosebumps.
Sweet music, tender lyrics. They don't make 'em like they used to but somehow she did. Good music is still being made.
Holy shit that was phenomenal. I always forget that something like this is actually possible with just a human and their guitar
LAUFEY MADE IT
Marvelous discovery... infinite gratitude for transcribing such an amazing artist sir George!
This made my day!
WHAT a vocal. That is something else.
The face and the voice match perfectly. I'm glad I learned about Laufey.
I feel like the scatting bridge was so similar in chords to so this is love (cinderella) and I kind of love that that song also played in my head.
exactly what I was thinking too.
Very beautifully done! I love how simple but powerful the cord progression is. Def keep up the great work!
That is so good. What a great voice. So many singers sound so similar today, I wish more sang like this.
laufey is ACTUALLY SO TALENTED OMG
Omg someone still makes records like this? I am in love with this music. What’s her Spotify?
Laufey
She also has more music on her TH-cam channel compared to Spotify.
@@WilliamTing loads of musical goodness on her Instagram as well
And she'll be releasing her debut album this year! You should check her out on Instagram and TH-cam. She's awesome!
Laufey or Laufey Lin on everything!!! She’s so good
This sounds like the feeling of something touching you just a bit too softly to register on your nervous system.
this feels like a type of song that would play in the background of a starbucks and i love it
mmmmm laufey such a dreamy soothing voice
A song that sounds very "dreamlike" to me is by, believe or not, Stevie Ray Vaughan. It is called "Lenny" and is an instrumental only. And, as usual, shows what a great guitar player he was. Easily his most relaxing piece to listen to.
I hear you mate, also Riviera Paradise
@@hugocapparelli1253 True. Another great song. I don't think quite a "dreamy" sounding as "Lenny" however. Back in the day (like the 1960's) we would have called Riviera Paradise "smooth jazz".
Which goes to show Charles, there’s at least three definitions of dreamy, yours, mine and George’s. :)
you made my day beautiful!
LIVE LAUGH LAUFEY
she sounds like she'd be a true alto! with a little bit more support on the top notes, her voice is beautiful.
I'm a woman and straight and gosh am I smitten, so do men even stand a chance? 😂 she's divine just like her voice!
Absolutely Gorgeous and Gobsmacking ! You play and sing as good (if not better than) any World Class Musician I ever saw. I hope you post more videos.
The music sheet looked way more complicated than the way her singing and playing along looked. She made it look effortless.
What an amazing voice and such great control
i love that so many people are finally getting to know Laufey. i still remember seeing her Instagram video's and falling in love with her voice:)
omg so sweet, i really enjoy it, congratulation girl. so dope
She does have an angelic voice wow!
I did not expect the depth in her voice
My god! Who is this marvelous woman? She's a stunning talent!
Laufey!!!
Her voice makes me melt 🫠
that was absolutely beautiful!
I loved it, you are beautiful inside and out :)
Loved your voice and energy by the way ;)
I can so imagine this being played in a Pixar movie credit scene.
This is stunningly well played, sung, and just downright sublime
Very beautiful song and very well performed. 💕💖
laufey is simply amazing!! all her songs are so sweet to listen while reading or drinking some tea
I love seeing young people singing this style of music
Omg I love that so so much. Such a beautiful song with lovely rhythms. I love your voice it's so deep and rich and calming
The dream surely sounds like this.
You gave goose bumps. Im sure you transported many people back in time.
Dreamy! She sounds like waking up on a warm summer morning, enjoying your coffee and toast.
i wanted to cry this was so beautiful
Absolutely beautiful piece of music
I wonder how Jacob would harmonize this jewel.
My god, i'm falling.
oh my god i love laufey so much
THE SCATTING
Amazing tone purity.
Thank _you_ for singing in that heavenly voice of yours
wes anderson or woody allen need to put this in one of their movies
That's my kind of gal. The kind that can play more than just 2 jazz chords WHILST sounding like an angel
That was seriously beautiful. Thank you!
Sadly none of my dreams sound like this. Here’s hoping this is heaven.
This is so beautiful. Guitar music is written with just treble clef, but the one with the little 8 so the notes sound an octave lower then written.
Most sheet music for guitar I've ever used has just had treble clef and no little eight. I just play an octave lower than what it says, my guitar teacher does this too. I've never seen a little eight before. Do you have any examples?
@@halfwayinfinate6342 the little 8 is implied, sort of. It's typically not actually written though. Double Bass sheet music is the same way, just with bass clef.

This is lovely! Thanks for the transcription, and thanks to Laufey for the original upload.
As a person who's heard this song in their dream, yes, this is what a dream sounds like
It was most definitely what dream sounds and looks like.
She controls the breaking up of her voice through registers and couples it to the reverberation of the space so….relaxed and reservedly. Such ease but with unspent poise
Delightful
you sang those low notes awesome. so hard
