Magnolia, she could have anyone in the world Floats around town in a golden gown Born in a castle on a cloud Magnolia, prettiest girl that I know Stars in her eyes, handpicked from the skies Beautiful soul How can I compete with her? Perfection is the only word I think of when I think of Magnolia She doesn't know that the world is turning just for her I wish I could be Magnolia
Laufey, this is incredible!! Your songs are always saving me from bad mood. They are very relaxing! And your voice combined with guitar makes a perfect sound to my ears. You are the best, Laufey!

Each note keeps you suspended on a cloud of intoxication and the seamless harmonic flow just wafts you along, you're on a magic carpet ride until the last breath and the strings softly fade away.
Your studio versions were done amazingly. But your acoustic versions will always have a special place in my heart. There's just something so soothing about them. 💛
This truly is one of the most wonderful arrangements I have ever listened to. Lyrics, melody, voice everything in total harmony - 'Perfection is the only word'. Thank you so much for this magnificent song.
uh....come on..this is really healling. the scenery outside the window and her singing and guitar melody are all perfect video...Laufey thank you for uploading this video
I've been a fan since the beginning, and I just wanted to circle back to one of my favorite songs of yours. You've comforted me at so many hard moments, and even if you never see this, I just wanted to properly thank you for everything you've done for me. It's amazing to see how much you've grown and the amazing community that has been built with the same shared values of loving your music. I hope you find everything you look for in life and keep doing what you love !
Thanks to your parents for bringing such a talented young person into this world with such a beautiful gift of bringing back the music of the past. Mahalo!
She does not belong in this ugly and depraved decade. In the 50s she would have been a super star, she is in the same league as Ella Fitzgerald, Peggy Lee or Nat King Cole. Her beautiful voice is a mixture between Jo Stafford and June Christy.
Multi-decade classical musician here: Laufey is about as legit as it gets. Supreme abilities here - soak it in, folks! There is goodness in the world after all 😉
don't know why this channel ended up in my recommendeds, definitely not the genre I usually listen to, but I'm glad it did. You got me nostalgic for a time generations before I was born
Kia Ora koro koro tui...I am from Aotearoa. New Zealand.. We have a native bird called the tui..So sweet humble and unassuming with such a beautiful song..You are the same..Mauriora!!
I heard this song for the first time today during a class and it touched me so much I when looking for it so I could learn who the artist was. This is so beautiful, it moves me to sweet melancholy.
She doesn’t know that the world is turning just for her, I wish I could be Laufey
Very this
very much this
so very much this
extremely very much this
Ultimately very much exactly thissss
There is a magnolia tree outside in the background btw. Nice touch
I feel like this song is about that tree.
was just about to comment this. just so cool
Not even close to a magnolia tree.
@@nieckolai Google Chinese magnolia you muppet
Maybe she planted the tree there for this video
0:29 Lyrics: Stars in her eyes
Laufey: Stare at camera
Me: Heart melting
😍 same here....
everything about this is just painfully beautiful.
The guilt of envy and the danger of obsession in the prettiest gift-wrapping one could imagine - powerful lyrics to a moving melody.
Her voice is literally a modern treasure. Not a lot of singers have that amazing live performance voice
there is something so special about this song
We love this ❤ My daughters name is Magnolia and we listen to this every day together. Our special little song. Thank you.
She sings like she's been through a lot.
Great observation!
Not really… her voice just has soul.. it sounds like she sings with her heart, it sounds like she’s human.
She sings like a musician with amazing vocal potential and hundreds of hours of practice.
"I wish I could be Magnolia" no darling we love our laufey so much, u don't have to be anyone.
Magnolia, she could have anyone in the world
Floats around town in a golden gown
Born in a castle on a cloud
Magnolia, prettiest girl that I know
Stars in her eyes, handpicked from the skies
Beautiful soul
How can I compete with her?
Perfection is the only word
I think of when I think of Magnolia
She doesn't know that the world is turning just for her
I wish I could be Magnolia

Each acoustic version is a different song in itself. Never stop making them. Absolute perfection.
This song showed up on my spotify a couple of days ago, and it genuinely might be one of the most beautiful songs that I have ever heard.
Ahhhhh I'm melting here... this is so beautiful! How can you be so good at so many things?!?!
God, i love sm Laufey, she's the best musical skills i've ever seen, i love her voice

Such a beautiful classic voice.
This is my favorite song of yours. I've only heard it a billion times
Same. I've only heard it a little over 2 billion times.
Magnolia
she could have anyone in the world
Floats around town in a golden gown
Born in a castle on a cloud
Magnolia
prettiest girl that I know
Stars in her eyes, handpicked from the sky
Beautiful soul
How can I compete with her
Perfection is the only word
I think of when I think of Magnolia
She doesn't know that the world is turning just for her
I wish I could be Magnolia
ooooh.... haaa ooooh....
Magnolia
she can move oceans and rivers with ease
A word from her lips
Her sirens kiss
Will send you straight into abyss
Magnolia
I wish she’d give her secrets away
Enchants еveryone
And I think it’d be fun
To bе like her someday
But I cannot compete with her
Perfection is the only word
I think of when I think of Magnolia
She doesn’t know that the world is turning just for her
I wish I could be Magnolia
Magnolia...
it makes me comfortable
That beautiful window scene is a perfect backdrop to this delicately lovely song and artist.
Each note keeps you suspended on a cloud of intoxication and the seamless harmonic flow just wafts you along, you're on a magic carpet ride until the last breath and the strings softly fade away.
that has to be one of the most beautiful melodies I have ever heard. Everything about this song is wonderful.
This sounds so healing and full of love
Sound so Peaceful
Just gorgeous in every way
Bringing back the melody, harmony and in one word to say bringing back the music! this is so beautiful song that i can’t express all my emotions!
Laufey your songs are always the best they save me from the bad mood thanks for this work of art
Your studio versions were done amazingly. But your acoustic versions will always have a special place in my heart. There's just something so soothing about them. 💛

These are the kinds of serene moments that make me strive further toward perfection.
Never have I heard such a peaceful/beautiful voice. I imagine it must be what angels sound like.

Absolutely beautiful voice quality! She doesn’t even need to be in a studio…such a pure and flawless voice. Wow.
This song means the world and beyond to me
simple beauty.. yet so complex..
Such Beauty, such Talent.
I like the fact that here nails and her top are purple. Which is one of the color variations of a Magnolia flower 🥰👏
Brilliant in every way. Thank you so much.
Wow. Such a Lady. So gifted. Awesome performance. A real natural. I will watch Her perform soon. Captivating!
Why do you only have 60k subs? You should have millions ! Your music is so beautiful 😭
In another age this would be appreciated far more. Wunderschön
