laura marling - the wrote and the writ

[derris]

I'm in love, she's SO GREAT

[xlilyflowerx]

She is unbelievably beautiful and talented. The short hair makes her look so strikingly gentle... Like a pixie

[Anoukmens]

She has a really sweet and pretty face..

[Lafayettebluesman]

Oh my.

[Dianesaurr]

laura id turn gay for you!

[pindakaas800000]

@Dianesaurr I hope you are a girl beacause otherwise this would be the werdest note ever;p

[Dianesaurr]

I cant believe i didn't know of her just a few weeks ago. I just think she's amazing and needs more recognition.

[xXxJandAxXx]

shes so cute :)

[Cocabottle]

Marlings version is way better than the original.

[JFox321]

@Cocabottle It's a very good version, and I love Laura, but you can't top Johnny Flynn singing his own heartfelt lyrics.

[four420twenty420]

she is beautiful and so is this song

[ReginaOverTheRainbow]

Lol you people hating.

1. Her and Johnny are great friends, and yes, she can play the guitar.

2. She's not a dyke or gay but there's nothing wrong with dykes or gays. Plus she's gone out with a male from mumford and sons and noah and the whale. She likes her hair short and it's a style.

3. She's brillaint, if you have anything negative to say, say it elsewhere because here you just look like pathetic lifeless trolls.

[DISASTARCAKE123]

@ReginaOverTheRainbow bravo!

[absolutroot]

@ReginaOverTheRainbow

I am not sure what she is, but I am sure that I love what she is. It would be a tragedy if such an amazing person could not comfortably be themselves. The world would miss out on something so very special.

[TheIndieMod]

@IIAVAII How dare you.

[jen89h]

are you kidding? shes not a dyke!! even if she was gay what would it matter her music is pure, beautiful and mystical...

but i guess if you use words like "dyke" you're yet to crawl out from the rock you are living under and see real music and real people!

[locomotosoto]

@IIAVAII  Wow, what a turd you must be.

[herroitsuba]

HOW COULD ANYONE GIVE THIS A THUMBS DOWN?

4 people need to be taken out back and shot.

this is fantastic.

[mike244654]

I love her! :)

[MTurner7]

Good God. What a voice!

[rosielordx]

oh my god, this is gorgeous. i love johnny flynn and this is heaven.

[kittycatcatcatt]

@IIAVAII you're going to hell. everything about her is amazing and beautiful.

[doyly909]

@IIAVAII unaccepting retard who insult people who are better than them over the internet as well you pussy

[yellowtaipan]

I wish I could play the percussion parts, it would add to the feeling that Flynn's version has.

[absolutroot]

Did she write this, or did Johnny Flynn write this?

[OCJT2007]

@absolutroot Johnny Flynn wrote this. However, Marling is using a different chord sequence to Johnny. Does that count as her writing it? :')

[beautyconscious]

i adore this version :) i think johnnys version is beautiful, but marl just has to bring her thang to it! .. adore her and this song. i love the lyrics :)

[lysiebabe97]

i absolutely love laura<3

i love her style and her voice.

does anyone know what guitar she's using here.?

[InebriHATED1]

@lysiebabe97 She's using a Gibson J 45.

[cocoabewhere]

she prolly learned it straight from Johnny too, which is pretty cool

[Monzie89]

@IIAVAII As is your face :)

[qwertywerty123456]

@IIAVAII I actually agree, voice is cool, song kinda sucks, it just isnt going anywhere...

[IHatePeopleDontTalk]

you cant cover a song like the wrote and the writ, johnny flynn is a master wrodsmith adn shoul be left alone and not covered

[msmarewi]

she can, and i think music is something that is alive.

music is made to be sung and played and listened to. not to sit untouched in a cupboard.

and its definatly no bad cover.

[Zafiro888]

This song is a real grower when i heard it first i was like..yeh sounds nice but now its like..i likkkee! lol

[WarmPeachTea24]

Haha, true, I was trying to balance my insult with a compliment.

[WarmPeachTea24]

I love her but she messed up the lyrics like three times in the first minute, which really took away from the meaning of the song.

Her guitar playing was immaculate.

[terriblezodin]

not really mate, she barely touches upon the guitar of johnny flynn

[HereticsAndKillerz]

of course shes not gonna play it as good as johnny he wrote the blood thing i think she sings it awesome, but as expected johnnys version is better

[xdiamondsparkx]

I LOVE YOU LAURA MARLING

[ursulee]

sounds perfect

[beyesonfire]

this is so awesome. i love johnny, and she does a great job with his music. which seems odd, because i can only picture HIM doing his songs, but this is pretty impressive.

[TheBettylauren]

I love Laura Marling and Johnny Flynn. Amazing cover <3. If you like this I suggest you listen to Emmy the great, Noah and the whale, and slow club xx

[SamAG99]

She suits long hair better

[SamAG99]

Not really, no.

[bobjohnson513]

I'm thinking it's an acoustic. It sounds too metallic to be a classical.

[mastermcgovern]

steel string .. classicals are acoustic guitars too just classical has nylon strings

[mastermcgovern]

yes

[iParamore13]

acoustic :)

[Vita1892]

I'm sorry, what mistake? Laura's playing seems flawless to me.

[Vita1892]

Oh ok. Silly me.

[Dakiti]

this is a great song, and both Laura and johnny flynn do an amazing job. Laura is great live though, thats what makes this so great

<3

[angiesamoa]

I love her voice. I want to sleep in it.

[cmonirina]

i want to bottle it and give it cuddles

[jred1177711]

I did sleep in her voice once!

[kelbydays]

@angiesamoa LOVED YOUR COMMENT. I think you have a song in you somewhere.... put pen to paper! :-) x :-)

[squrtsta]

better than flynn

[ThingsWeSaidToday]

i'd like to point out the camera is really annoying. stop cutting!

both versions are amazing, love johnny and laura!!!!

[soilstories]

gorgeous voice, so gorgeous

[kicharan]

ya this is way better with laura singing by 100x. no way you can even start to say any differently!

[2write2sing2dance]

Not better different. They're friends, friends cover friendsx works all the time.

[hairyicedude]

Haha, well that's pretty much a lie. But you would say that, as a) Laura Marling has found more fame as she has abandoned her roots and b) you are a woman

[matyldziok]

It's not a lie. I would rather call it my private opinion. And being a woman has nothing to do with that. This argument could actually be reversed

[bexsullie]

i love johnny flynn a little more than laura marling and im a woman. they're both amazing artist i just enjoy johnny's style of writing better but laura's voice is amazing:)

[zandersharp04]

i disagree to both those

johnny flynn is pretty good, but laura is more diverse and she sticks to her roots, displayed by the vulnerability of some of the background instruments in her songs...and i'm a guy

[MrMewmewmewmew]

this song makes me cry :'( it reminds me of my ex as she was rather religous and we used to right letters to each other even tho we lived close i thought she was "the one" but turns out she wasnt :(

[g9nnar]

oh sorry about tat, yea me thinks its a kinda emotionel song too

[lizabennich]

that's so sweet. i am still trying to convince people to be my penpal.

don't worry;it's ok.

[bigchief3009]

Her voice is so amazing. I love it so much it makes so happy i want to cry

[awalkingdream]

amazing...

[TheOldCow]

Wish there was a decent version of this song on YouTube with Johnny Flynn singing. Most of them are hand cam's with horrible audio. However, this is one of my favorite videos atm!

[krist092]

i uploaded one today :D a good quality liveversion with Johnny Flynn

[gabriellabellaaa]

Both versions sound so good, its ridiculous.

I think Laura sounds particularly great here. When she sings it sounds so effortless and clear.

[rapeybabe]

really good cover.

her album is my favourite ever.

[fancyythat]

Words cannot express my love for this cover.

[2write2sing2dance]

She is so awesome.

[felixisdabomb]

johny flynn wrote this...?

[tom9987]

yes, we know.

[babykissin]

she's just amazing!

[MegDragonfly13]

I'm a huge fan of Johnny Flynn and Laura Marling, both and I understand that they're pretty good friends - I think it's adorable that they basically share lyrics, because they've got such opposite sounds but yet it fits them both. Odd, but I think thats what makes them true artists.

[tom9987]

i totally aggree, i want them to tour together, that would be amazing.

[nihilistichick]

they toured canada/US together...saw them in the same night with mumford! I hope they come back again.

[MegDragonfly13]

Whaaaaat! Both of them + Mumford?! I hate you! But not really :) So jealous.

[tom9987]

that sounds like the best night ever. i am sooo jealous. haha :) marcus mumford's voice is amazingg.

[harriloup]

i really like it but im afraid i prefer johnnys

love you still laura xx

[rozepetal]

Same here. I saw johnny perform this song live and up close. Been in love ever since. Laura's great though.

[xGailDarlinx]

laura is just great at everything she does:)

[carmelkitten]

Laura definitely does Johnny justice. :)

[brfczander]

amazing cover

[rnair47]

when was marling in australiaaa ????

[KissyLOVEloveTime]

she's so amazing! :D :D i love itttttt..its as good as the original :D

[bernardblack102]

I've listened to this at least ten times over the past two days. Fucking incredible. I know this is a cover, but I love Laura's version. She manages to sound clean and sparse, but so full of emotion. Brilliant lyrics and melody as well, good on Johnny Flynn.

[Q2K2008]

I love her voice.

[spunkpattz]

good cover :)

[letshugitout94]

beast means shes awesome. haha its slang

[harmonicababyblue]

dont worry 'lets hug it out' me and my mates use beast aswell hahah.

Laura's a beeeeeeeast.

[elizaloves]

i love how we like accidentally comment on the same videos...

laura marling IS beast.

[Tabitha0302]

I prefer Johnny Flynn's version but Laura's one is also nice :) But nothing can be better than New Romantic by Laura,I think. :)

[letshugitout94]

beast means shes awesome. haha its slang

[letshugitout94]

laura's a beast.

[Tabitha0302]

Why?

[elizaloves]

i saw them

together.

best show

[ryrockss]

Dog

[RusticNinja]

im not sure which is better.

[KaputtKondom]

they NEED to put this on itunes, i love this song cover by her, i can only get johnny flynns' version, but i love his too, but still.

[folkdear]

i want johnny to cover a LM song too.

[boylelaura]

this is amazing

i've seen both johnny and laura.

best gigs.

[lllooouuuiiieee]

i had to chose to go to either a johnny or a laura gig; i chose johnny, cause laura was an over 18s xD they're both so amazing though, this is lovely :)

[niave]

i love laura and johnny so this is heaven for me

[niave]

i got shivers

[Breezey92]

Laura did wonderful job. I love her voice.

[nikeagogo]

I think this cover and Laura Marling in general are amazing.

[GoSquareGo]

Love Johnny Flynn & Laura Marling, so this is astounding for me. It's a bit on the short side though, that's the only problem.

[eregan82]

since when did music have to be so narrow (i.e. fudging the lyrics)? people change lyrics all the time. i'm sure Lm and Jf consider themselves to be peers, and i can bet he enjoyed her version.

[xflashahh]

yeah, johnny flynn /is/ the man. why can't people honour him by covering his songs? laura's an awesome artist and she's covering an awesome song, and she's doing it well. so back off. stop being so dumb.

[fieldnorth]

This is forgettable!! Thankfully it's just a cover of a Johnny Flyn song.

[GrantMcG]

YAASSSSSS:D GOING TO SEE HER IN JUST OVER TWO MONTHS:D SHE ROCKSSSS!!:) can't wait:D:)

[xsvsx]

This is great!!
