Laura Marling plays a new, untitled song on WNYC's Spinning On Air

[crockerboym]

"Oh Laura, what has happened to you? Held the hand of the devil." - D. Johnston

[TheJessmess24]

Does this song have a name now? Anyone know it?

[Renegademaster15]

@TheJessmess24 Pray For Me

[TheJessmess24]

@Renegademaster15 Thanks!

[myheartlikeabird]

she is perfection.

[iWantAHelicopter]

Love love love love love love love love love

[Whattheheckybecky]

Anyone know which guitar she is using?

I really want to know.

[ShatteredDiscoBall]

@Whattheheckybecky I as well! I couldn't seem to see the name logo on it anywhere except in a live version of Sophia I was like the first 3 letters of it. It starts with an A from my memory. No much help though >.<

[popentoti]

@Whattheheckybecky thought you meant tuning...the guitar its a Spanish brand named Admira. The model is Malaga.

[Alexandraisonfire]

And where he's from I long to know.

[crockerboym]

I keep letting slip that I'm going to see her at Sydney Opera House. Oh bollocks, I've done it again!!

[AmyCHollingworth]

AHHHHHH!!! <3

[rodriogq]

it just seems unreal enough the existence of a person that can conceive such powerful stuff. but this person does exist, it's Laura Marling, and the world shines brighter when she sings. I am astonished.

[JHDELIVERY22]

and I had lost my mind

[eddiemarriott]

This covers some of the themes of A Creature really well, no, I don't know why she didn't put it in but oh well.

[awsinger1]

why isnt this on the new album? if she noticed that there are no dislikes on this, she would regret scrapping it x

[Porsche997C4S1]

Awesome song!

[WildeHearts]

her voice is sooo lovely, perfection personified, and not a single person dislikes it :)

[333boogerbear]

guitar sounds a bit like "Fearless" by Pink Floyd

[jencsk1234]

The 4th album is going to be SO GOOD, between this song and "I was an eagle". Oh man, can't wait! :)

[jennaw23]

@jencsk1234 Where can I find 'I was an eagle?' I haven't heard of it before but I really want to! There isn't a single song from her I haven't loved, haha. :)

[jencsk1234]

@jennaw23 google "laura marling I was an eagle". The only footage is of her playing it live in chicago but it's pretty good quality. Most of the links have a video of it.Love her!

[jencsk1234]

@jennaw23 there's also a version of it on youtube (again just concert footage but good quality) with the title "Laura Marling, 9/22/11, New Untitled Song" . Enjoy!

[jennaw23]

@jencsk1234 Found it. Thank you very much! :)

[crockerboym]

@jencsk1234 You guys gotta hear 'Master Hunter'. They keep on comin' :)

[ssjsonicssj]

@crockerboym master hunter is possibly my fav new one yet!

[crockerboym]

@ssjsonicssj I think I might have to second that emotion!

[MyBestiesrAwellsome]

I love this song!

[vil21251]

ring on the left hand...? oh, hell no! she's mine! (;

[ManicStreetCreature]

Laura, I fucking love you.

[hurdy72]

she just finds it just so easy...........such an amazing artist...beautifu voice...

[sconzj]

Well you can't deny this is inspired by Neutral Milk Hotel's album "In the Aeroplane Over The Sea". And that is a huge compliment.

[MrBojka9]

I cant belive she´s younger than me! I mean she looks like 16....but her songs are far beyond her youth....its inspiring

[dmax123456]

@theblackmoonofghost i think it's called "Pray For Me"

[OliviaGrace81]

Just when I think Marling can't possibly get any more brilliant, this happens. . . Christ almighty. She is flawless. Honestly, I can just picture myself growing old, sitting in a rocking chair, and listening to her music with my grandchildren. Her music and her message will never die.

[yvranx]

@OliviaGrace81 Wow, her message? Which is?

Don't get me wrong, I love her music, but people seem to be a little over the top with her. I wonder whether the reaction would be the same if she wasn't a cute blonde little girl.

[climbnprana]

@yvranx It's because of music like hers, I could live with being blind.

[ssjsonicssj]

@yvranx I agree I don't think her songs are loaded with deep messages in anyway whatsoever, but in my opinion her songs are brilliant at telling stories and connecting with people in different ways so if someone else feels a message within a song surely it can be valid for that individual? Shes not a little girl though, she is a grown up adult woman :)

[conorzzy]

@ssjsonicssj True, it's not as if she's going for this real deep meaning in everything, but there's just something about her songs, and that's not to say the lyrics aren't good, they're really good. She thinks of really nice ways of saying things, and she admits herself that we'd know if she was 'digging deep'. But it's not just that, like all her interviews she has a really unique take on things, and she really considers what she says, that's if she's not asked some bullshit commercialised q's.

[conorzzy]

@ssjsonicssj She's like perfect to me so I'm like... obsessed...yeah...:P

[ssjsonicssj]

@conorzzy I know that feeling, I'm kinda definitely obsessed! This may sound overboard but I saw her perform 3 times this weekend, Friday night at York minster and both the matinee and night show on Saturday at Sheffield cathedral. Her lyrics are fantastic and so is her voice, she can rock her guitar to bits and her band are awesome.

[conorzzy]

@ssjsonicssj Not even slightly over the top! I missed her one gig in Ireland for stupid reasons but I was thinking of doing the exact same. Like one of these days when I've time, I'll just like follow her tour! (creeper I know) :P That's really cool though. She's actually so awesome as a person and musician. When I talk to some people about her they say she's 'a bit weird', but I totally get her. Btw since you've been to those gigs, did she play the beast? Can't find a performance of it anywhere

[ssjsonicssj]

@conorzzy yeah on both night shows, stripped back version compared to the album but if anything it improved the song as her voice / lyrics had more breathing room.

[yvranx]

@ssjsonicssj, @conorzzy: Finally saw her live. A bit of a disappointment, I have to say. Most songs were played with the band, which I don't particularly care for, it was very short (~75 minutes), and this song was in a weird slow version.

I'm still in love with her though.

[sneekz07]

God, that guitar sounds fucking gorgeous.

[husker666]

At last real musicians seem to be making their mark on the musical landscape :)

[NatalieGelman]

So charming and beautiful!

[eloiseboutry]

dude. she never stops.



[razmataz13drums]

ive beenn listening to this over and over..

[Yoursaffectionately]

@razmataz13drums Me too.. it's the most beautiful song ever

[razmataz13drums]

@Yoursaffectionately it really really is. i love the way she sings 'That not love for it trying.

That is God and his lying'

[Yoursaffectionately]

@razmataz13drums and.. I cannot love, I want to be alone. I will not love, I want to be alone. UGH she's my favourite person

[razmataz13drums]

@Yoursaffectionately uh yeah thats a great lyric! if i could i would have listed the entire song. and every song she's ever written lets be honest. its quite Godly how good she is

[Yoursaffectionately]

@razmataz13drums hahaah exactly!! It's good to know you appreciate her as much as I do!!

[razmataz13drums]

@Yoursaffectionately its always a relief to know you're not alone in the world :) and hey we are wasting valuable Laura Marling listen time! haha :P

[TheZombieHorseZ]

does anyone have any idea what the tuning is for this ? :)

[Yoursaffectionately]

OH my gosh... This is SO amazing. literally.. dying. i'm dying.

[K3LLYRI0T]

Does anybody know how to play this?

[K3LLYRI0T]

Does anybody know how to play this?

[crockerboym]

Her brilliance is seemingly never-ending. In the words of our heroine, “It is hopefully gonna be part of a short EP.” Here's hoping.

[loriel0524]

thanks for writing such strong, beautiful lyrics that i can actually relate to. xo

[treehugger777]

She looks so happy singing this. Laura Marling is such a great artist, especially because it seems like she loves what she does.

[McKenzie291]

This is the one she played in the awkward experiment at Green Man!! So happy to have found this! :D

[Elleira92]

ohh i love this A LOT

[brooke0304]

Everything she touches turns to gold. This woman can do no wrong!

[BBrittanyJJordan]

Does anyone know what tuning this is in? Its so pretty

[brooke0304]

@BBrittanyJJordan sounds like open G!

[BBrittanyJJordan]

@brooke0304 Thank you : )

[yvranx]

@BBrittanyJJordan Have you tried dadgad?

[BBrittanyJJordan]

@yvranx Yes I figured it out thank you :)

[989mjd]

EPIC SONG! ♥

[Yoursaffectionately]

The lyrics are absolutely perfect.. No.. The whole thing is absolutely genius.

[DreamBig19100]

This is so unbelievably beautiful.

[whenallelsefallsaway]

for all her songs I prefer it just her and the guitar. Such purity

[JHDELIVERY22]

This is a phenomenal song :)

[musicofourheart]

Laura is a wonderful talent :)

[MARxSx1]

i hope she will be writing songs forever

[ssjsonicssj]

glad too see shes already working on the 4th album :D

[conorzzy]

@ssjsonicssj awesome, where'd you hear that?

[ssjsonicssj]

@conorzzy iv not heard it anywhere, just saying it as she's already playing new songs even though she only just recorded her creature album in March :)

[conorzzy]

@ssjsonicssj Fair enough, hope it comes as soon as this one did.

[foonr]

can't believe this didn't make it onto the new album. it's so good!

[BuFufilms]

@foonr judging by the interview it was written after the recording of the album
