laura marling busking part 1

[Phoenixgrrl73]

Meant to type "writes her most of her own tunes" not whites stoopid auto correct thingy!!!

[Phoenixgrrl73]

Ok Ok..... So the guitar was out of tune a bit, mind you! It can happen to the best of them... They are supposed to be busking somewhere right?

But apart from all that....

Seriously folks!!! WOW! What an amazing voice. She makes it look so natural & effortless. (phoenixgrrl73 goes green with envy lol)

She is a very gifted & talented musician, quite accomplished for someone so young. I believe she whites most of it herself too..

When I hear her sing her voice always sends tingles down my neck

[awsinger1]

Oh my gosh. winstons hair. Haha! And her guitar was really out of tune on the first song

[MARxSx1]

has anyone figured out the chords for this version of the captain and the hourglass? it's amazing!!

[ScrubbyJJ]

haha i love this girl shes a real tribute to music and knows how to play ... plus she went to my old skl

[95AnnieAnnie95]

her voice!!! :)

[philophos]

Never mind, I found out. The Captain and the Hour Glass.

[philophos]

What was the second song she sang?!

[valwoodrow]

This is brilliant! True artists! She is beautiful inside and out!

[QtLibby09]

Marcus looks like a baby, and Winston look like he just came out of a reggae trailer park. LOL.

[flopsy1997xfactor]

Winston!!!!! With Long Hair!!! OMG

[lizzieyoumeatsix]

i actually love her

<3

[JHDELIVERY22]

What a great Lyricist, singer and Guitarist :)

[dltvofmr]

That version of captain and the hourglass is amazing. What a voice, I'm in love.

[headintheclouds22]

what are they laughing about?

[0kim0]

and winston! that's so cool ^^

[0kim0]

awesome! is that marcus mumford behind her?

[NINtrentreznor]

@0kim0 that would be Marcus indeed!!!!

[cheesemongoose]

where was this???

[Lacey2377]

wow, awesome version of captain and the hourglass. <3 I missed seeing her play yesterday, like 15 minutes away from where I live, all because it was an 18+ venue D=

[mynameizcasanova2]

what was teh lolz about around 1min?

[vanny409]

enjoyed this video . thanks for posting it.

[parkarboy73]

Not really busking if you ask me, but what a voice she has :)

[rgetting71]

Wow , She is so great live!!!!

[32wallace]

I know everyone talks about how amazing her voice is which is obviously true. But, also, i definitely would.

[philcircou]

I love that arrangement of The Captain and The Hourglass, it's really different!

[mancalledhorse]

absolutely amazing. nuff said. :)

[bobjohnson513]

I heard that they wouldn't let her into the club where she was supposed to perform, because she was underage so she just performed outside the club, which is a genius idea, in my opinion.

[Vita1892]

She should sing The Captain and the Hourglass live more often, it's one of my faves... oh wait all of her songs are favourites in some way, but anyways, I wish she would do this one more often.

[gorramdoll]

wow, her voice actually sounds really good like this--I like the way it sounds here better than on the recording.

[merdufer]

ya she seems to rock out a lot more with her voice on live, which is delicious.

did i say delicious? what was i thinking. i meant awesome.

[kkowalczyk1986]

She's 19, incredible ha?

[UnderYourLimit]

...so how old IS she?

[PpJt1337]

She would have been about 17 when this video was taken. She was born on 1st Feb 1990

[Dotcherrycamden]

good on you girl - this is what true musicanship is all about, wish I'd been there...one day you'll be pleased ya look so young ;)

[merdufer]

from personal experience, the street can be better than the pub. people are less drunk and actually conscious.

[corduroycowboy]

the captain and the hourglass sounds so good like this!

[PurityH2o]

too true. i think theres a verse that i dont have in my version in ther.

[DNAProductionsss]

She's busking because she was supposed to do a gig in a pub, but they kicked her out at because she was too young. So she did the gig on the street.

[amimassarella]

does anyone know what the second song she sung here is called?

[KG13LUM]

the captain and the hourglass

[UFOIST]

WOW she's no ordinary busker. She's a megabusker.

[sxclaura01]

Amazing

[a5987b]

what does busking mean? is it a european slang? plz tell me

[TakenByBirds]

Playing music in the street, you know those musicians who stand out in the street with sometimes their cases open and you can throw money in.

[MissBrightside08]

yeah tramps were passing by

[manalore]

she's unbelievable!!

i absolutely love her music

[jjay75]

tramp apparantly

[keaneplay2]

Love this performance of Captain And The Hourglass - shame it wasn't on the album like this.

[kredcarroll]

I agree--it reminds me of the live version of "Alas, I Cannot Swim" that they sell on iTunes....she (and Marcus!) completely switch it up. It's great.

[rnair47]

haha im so curious now.

[tom9987]

|: go kill yourself

[letshugitout94]

is london town on her album?

[tom9987]

no :(

[kellymfletcher]

i think she got chucked out of a bar cause she was under 18 and couldnt play so she was like well im not lettng all these folks down- let's play outside!

[m4nt15]

Just two days ago I told my friend that if there was a british girl that played the guitar and sang her own songs she would be perfect. I just saw Laura tonight on Craig Ferguson and couldn't believe my eyes/ears.

I think I'm in love. :)

[tom9987]

what about adele and kate nash and emmy the great.. and amy winehouse?

[m4nt15]

Can't even compare.

[tom9987]

i agree, but emmy the great is good.

[nicolasmeza]

i like this music

[JediMonkeyRat]

she's incredible.

she failed english apparently, i think she said that on another video on here. But its just like... who'da thought, eh?

[corsetfairy1]

she is pure amazingness <3

[HaitchP2008]

The venue wouldnt let her play because she was too young , So she took it to the streets

Thats dedication to her fans , Not many artists would do that

Shes awesome

[ganaknigg]

@HaitchP2008 dam capitalists man out to get us all!

[realisoph]

This is all the reason to go out on the streets for once in the evening hours... instead of poking ones finger in ones nose zapping all along.

[themightypoolnumber9]

mumford hittin the skins you geeeeeeeeeezer

[Accolade1234]

Why is London Town on the album its great, it looks like its been removed from youtube now too. Its the song i listened too first when i found her for the first time, gutted

[DaydreamerLou]

the second song is better than the album version i think

this is wonderful.shes so fantastic!!!

[snoogatron]

yeah totally, sounds much better sped up

[lisaliedermooy]

the song after new romantic is the captain and the hourglass but i think by the time she played this her album wasent out yet since the song is diffrent than on the album

[howesy]

Soho wasnt it? After not being able to play coz she was underage :P Crazy lol.

[socksx]

whats the song she plays after new romantic?

is it something with noah and the whales?

[naiivete]

caaptain and hourglass

[xmaketeanotwarx]

WOW

She's amazing :) x

[toddmichaelreeves]

thts a cool crowd! where is she busking at?

Im going to be posting vids of me buskin real soon!

[RyanMcGinley1]

good research mijles, seems to be a wee bit of folklore these days.

[mijles]

isnt this at the venue were she was supposed to play but wasnt allowed to enter at the door becus she was underage?

when she started playing on the street infront of the club..?

[OKSTEVEP]

if u listen really closely right at the end, you can hear someone whispering 'she's seventeen'.

we love u laura

[moviestarheiress]

They have to start somewhere

dont they?

[chenyuhu]

shes not busking!

[toopeelooo]

Hey, that's Laura's mum in the corner that she hugs at the end!! Good ol' Judy!!!

[joshuajubilee]

Her voice is melting me. It's so beautiful.

[loosegoose01]

Does anyone know what they are all laughing at at the end of new romantic?

xxxxx

[rossferg1987]

i think the bouncer walks thru the crowd?

i think this is where she wasnt let in coz she wasnt 18, so she performed outside

[loosegoose01]

haha oh i totally get it now,

i didnt realise it was him walking through

what a knobbb

[ghod07]

at about 1 min 40 secs when the song changes to the 'Captain And The Hourglass' this version is sooo much better than the one on the album which is very tame.

[ghod07]

who is with her?

[rossferg1987]

Mumford and Sons, theyre on her myspace top friends

[BlackPatentShoes]

It's actually a really good thing that this happened because she got a lot of free publicity.

[MultiSync3V]

As that is really what it is all about...

[BlackPatentShoes]

No, it isn't. But are you really going to say that she is going to try and fight any publicity that she can get? Musicians need to eat, you know.

[MultiSync3V]

Yeah, and they also need to poo but again that isn't what it's about. Just as the Trobriand Islanders don't merely exchange their yams for economic gain but rather do so for the purpose of creating a strong and functioning society in which people look out for each other so artists don't create art for the sake of making economic gain but rather for that certain inalienable extra quality, that bond which unites people and gives you that feeling that really, it's all going to be alright in the end

[BlackPatentShoes]

Right. And that's why everyone in the world is like the Trobriand islanders, and we all exchange yams everyday.

Artists don't create art solely for the sake of economic gain. But you can't say that she won't be happy about more people knowing about her music and appreciating it, more people showing up when she gives shows.

Publicity will give her larger audiences and more money. I can't see how that will be bad for her.

[yourmumsaidwhat]

i bet that bouncer feels like a prick now haha

laura is so amazing!!!

[canpokemanic]

I love Laura Marling! I really want to see her live one day!!

[roymaloydotcom]

You're amazing! :)

[johndehaura]

This is great.

[JuliaaaOo]

Is this not the time where she wasn't allowed into her own gig cause they thought she was underage? Lol So she played outside Haha Good one (Y) =]

[eclectica1]

She is so articulate and talented.

[jjay75]

the second song is called the captain and the hourglass

[inthecoolcoolshade]

i'm sure you can hear what looks like her mum saying "She's seventeen..." right at the end :D

[MeagainMeagan]

wish there were more recordings of the second song!

[dougyt2]

wow she is amazing...her album is coming out in february i cant wait.

[rossbain123]

Yeah, it was a gay strip club she was performing at(honestly), so no under 18's allowed! and the reason everyone starts laughing is because tramps kept walking past. She talks about it in the jools holland interview:)

[jamesqqq]

Laura was on Jools Holland BBC TV show recently and performed New Romantic. It was the best performance of the show, stunning. I really hope she gets some success. Compare her to the manufactured pop stars that dance to backing tapes ? She's an artist. Good luck.

[fun4every1]

the second song is called "tick"

[jjay75]

no its not

[musicaddict4]

yes it is

[hallmusic]

No it isn't, It's called Captain and the Hourglass...I appreciate the word tick is used in it, but thats not what its called.

[hydragenic]

The song now called 'Captain And The Hourglass' was introduced at many 2007 gigs as 'Tick' (by Laura herself). Seems it got renamed at some point.

[musicaddict4]

yes it is

[amt36hkl]

whats the second song she plays???

[peacetrain88]

shes amazing!

[alexxb]

this is ace :)

what is the second song she sings called??

[kattttetak]

i think what happned was that the venue ID'd her, and as they opperate a strict no under 18s policy (she's only 17!), she wasn't allowed to play. looks like she didn't dissapoint though..

[roelsc]

She's great! Love it

[timmyholland]

I swear she played this because there was trouble with the venue? And she wasn't out there to busk only, as the title seems to mean.

[georgeda]

really good, thanks!
