My two personal heroes.
(via darkness-descends)
Once-Laura Marling
Once, once is enough to break you,
Once, once is enough to make you think twice
About laying your love out on the line.
Failure
Laura Marling — Alas I Cannot Swim
Failure by Laura Marling.
I usually opt for her more mature albums, but for some reason today all I want is sunny, sweet, teenaged prodigy Laura.
Laura Marling - My Winding Wheel (Ryan Adams-cover).
I’m obsessed with this song.
Night After Night
Laura Marling — Studio Paradiso 1/11/2012
Laura Marling | Night After Night (Live @ Daytrotter)
I can no longer keep count of the times I’ve posted/spoken about this song, all I can do at this point is just hope that you will listen to it if you haven’t already.
I’m taking full advantage of my seven day Daytrotter trial and binge-downloading these great sessions. But the Laura Marling one is above and beyond the best- mostly because she’s Laura Marling. They also wrote a really lovely semi-biography-thing for her (they write really interesting ones for everyone that aren’t the typical born/raised/influences/blahblahblah.)
Flawless.

OVARIES: *explode*
I CAN DIE COMPLETE NOW.
He asks her if his hair looks stupid! And they fist-bump at the end!
Really, though, are there two artists who can better tap into the emotional current of a song? Their performances are so stark, simple, and understated—they don’t try to sell you; they don’t overthink it. That, and their voices + Ryan’s warm acoustic guitar sound are just so damn pretty that by the time the clawing, harsh harmonica comes in and contrasts with all the sonorous goodness, I’m like FUCK YES. It’s just really good, okay?
EDIT: One more thing: Ryan Adams can really wear a sweater, amirite?
Goodbye England (Covered in Snow) - Laura Marling
Sorry that I’m backlit and that the audio peaks so much.
