Larkin Step (Original)

[mrwolfandhismusic]

Groping back to bed after a piss

I part thick curtains, and am startled by

The rapid clouds, the moon's cleanliness.

Four o'clock: wedge-shadowed gardens lie

Under a cavernous, a wind-picked sky.

There's something laughable about this,

The way the moon dashes through clouds that blow

Loosely as cannon-smoke to stand apart

(Stone-coloured light sharpening the roofs below)

[mrwolfandhismusic]

High and preposterous and separate - Lozenge of love! Medallion of art! O wolves of memory! Immensements! No, One shivers slightly, looking up there. The hardness and the brightness and the plain Far-reaching singleness of that wide stare Is a reminder of the strength and pain Of being young; that it can't come again, But is for others undiminished somewhere. "Sad Steps" - By Phillip Larkin

[BennyPGrime]

you know those random times u just randomly watch endless ammounts of random music videos? well this is one of these i happened to stumble upon, only it was like 3-4 years ago and some how ill always remember it.

[eliodn]

TE AMO!!

[blacktheory]

I fucking love phillip larkin!

[IamChavez]

I think I like the slight echo, or open room sound in this one. Like Norah Jones or something. This is great.

[marcusteixeira21]

sooooooooooooooooooo beautiful. Great girl.

[lawxq]

Just heard you sing today at Old Kallang Airport. Beautiful, beautiful voice. Hope to see you perform again!

[fredgoh]

Very original. Good voice. Hope you make it big...God Bless.

[kerekumi2]

[GrandeBobo]

"the plane engine falls through your room"? like in Donnie Darko :D

[bolgrats]

@GrandeBobo THANK YOU!!! I just couldnt remeber what movie that plane engine scene was from, just been repeating in my head for years ever since the first time i heard this song.

[otakunekogirl]

You have a very soothing voice, very lovely!!! 

[matsuoka23]

how could 753 people dislike this??? the song is beautiful and the singer is one of most beautiful person that I´ve ever seen...

[koliok]

@matsuoka23

Maybe they were guitar players, the guitar is really out of tune. Great singing though!!

[kingas1992]

[ParaFuckinNoir]

[jasonmildward34]

I"m going to learn Japanese so i can find me a pretty Japanese gf like you to fall in love with get married and have a beautiful baby.

[TetraLonelySouls]

@jasonmildward34 but she's not japanese.......-_____-" she's a chinese Singaporean girl. You should learn Chinese.

[SoashAng]

@TetraLonelySouls wrong, jason should learn Singlish~

[TetraLonelySouls]

@SoashAng AGREED!

[volli56]

[6o96o9elaine9o69o6]

this is my favorite song.

[kristikrisislives]

lovely... lush sounds!

[vnextnithtmare]

Hola, por qué pusiste como privado la canción "Bicycle (Original completed!)" me parece que es una canción genial la tenía como favoritos, lástima!... no podrías volver a activarla o enviarme el vídeo a mi cuenta de correo o algo así??? ojalá y pues porque en verdad me parece maravillosa!!! ;6)

[stallisman]

Hey! This is the original video but it sure sounds more like Kali Azzura singing than ling86

[jennnho]

One of my favorite original songs on YouTube! Keep it up (:

[Aaronmiami]

donney darko reference ?

[chabooksauce]

@Aaronmiami Donnie Darko likes this song.

[giddyquist]

[gregorioster]

wow. Very very nice. Your song is beatifull ando you playing is very gracefull as your voice.

Very glad yo meet you! ^_^

[LionSpiderX]

Fell in love with the song after I heard the first few notes. You probably aren't looking at this video comment thread anymore, but I just wanted to say: you rock! Write more!

[buskerbuoy]

The film quality lets you down but your voice and the song are devine. Loved the imagery "pocket full of stones"

[Zimologist]

I saw this a few years ago, still one of the most beautiful melodies and riffs I've ever heard.

[BidjeoBoso]

what happend to the sync on this video? Google "spike larkin step" for improved quality.

[reefwood]

you look a little like joanne peh

[chowbotak]

She is better than any S'pore Idol contestants. Genuine talents like her don need stupid idol contests

[princesscreative]

why does this song keeps playing over and over in my head??? :)

[particularist11]

@princesscreative 'cause it's just that good

[Ferrell032]

You have a great voice. Don't listen to these idiots below try to tell you how to play guitar.

[Niidawiiz]

Ur song Is sooo BEAUTIFULLL! <3 I love YOU GIRLL!

[Thorgr1m]

It's great :D... but, i must add something to your right hand technique...

Don't move your wrist... pluck only with the finger knuckles and not with the whole arm :D... and don't move your right hand that much... mostly it must stay still... but relaxed.

[eckosama]

this is still amazing

[italllies]

you are not a bad song writer at all, yes you are not one of them.

Philip Larkin one of the greatest English poets.

[gastonvil]

awesome

[Slipkn0tt]

The song is awesome! I very much love it!

I manage to play it without a capo, so If you want to learn it (like I did) and you dont have the capo, just PM me and will give you a tab I made :)

It sounds perfect, although its a bit harder to play :)

[beckhamguy]

you gotta love this gal who sings this song ,just beautiful

[oliviaindigo228]

[Cambodia69]

Beautiful voice, good song, radiant young woman and another reason to love Singapore. I wish her much success, happiness and good health!

[neoprose]

I didn't realise the original was back up- what a nice surprise! This is one of my all time favourites. I didn't remove it even when the clip was unavailable. Such a great song.

[plaguezxs]

OMG I saw this video so long ago and loved it! But I had forget the name... Yet by some miracle as I was watching the first 3 minutes of Donnie Darko the name just came to me. It was pretty magical i thought... lol well anyway awesome song!

[tomzuk20]

[GrandeBobo]

[ohprissaye]

everytime i come to watch this my computer will turn into some unknown language.. lol

[reverseaxe]

clap clap clap clap clap clap...and so on. PRO!

[limbukirat]

i have watch this vidio more then may be 15 times but never get tired of watching it well u r the best what can i say

[Cursedsoul82]

Glad the original video is back! Cheers! :)

[ohprissaye]

i gotta grab your EP oh god!

[greenhousejpb]

WOW, SHE´S BACK! i´m so lucky that i can listen to this wonderful song today. thank you!

[kancerzx]

Youtube is being a douche this few months..

[lempickarecordsvideo]

you can view larkin step at ling's official site

[Ling86fanforever]

Thank you for that info, but it would be cool if the "Larkin Step" video was still here. I understand that record companies need to protect their artists, but do you guys understand the amount of free advertising you're throwing away by removing videos like this from Youtube? I wouldn't have ever heard of Ling had it not been for this video. I wish you would reconsider your decision to remove this content. A video with a million views has traffic, and traffic equals album sales. Peace :)

[sluseter2123]

what the fuck?!?!?

[terrens123]

hopefully youtube will be nicer to us and let us view this this video

[Ekeyno]

NOoooooo.........

[jpokor]

me 2!!! wtf

[particularist11]

The hell...? I suddenly had an urge to listen to this song and now this...

[Ling86fanforever]

I know right? I've been waiting to see if they'd put it back by some chance, but know such luck. Sometimes I'm not sure what the record companies hope to succeed by doing things like this. I swear it's this song and video that helped her win a recording contract with Lempick Records... and now look what they turned around and did! LOL It's just ridiculous.

Please bring back this vid Lempick...we miss it being HERE. Some of us like to make play lists, so alternate site don't help us. :)

[latinaturner]

Maybe copyright law stuff, they blocked my videos, then made me remove the song I had in them. You tube is touchy when it comes to other artist music. Maybe they thought her song belonged to someone else. You tube is messing up. Put this video back up!!

[Blitzbok]

Youtube in general is messed up. All the changes they're making are garbage, and the way they manage vids is rediculous. They decide what goes on most viewed regardless of whether it is or not. Just look at Reindiers vids on SA for instance.

[jexman41]

crap seriously why would anyone remove the video

[fpsxbox360gamer]

What the HECK!!!

[ralcus]

ah man i wish i downloaded this video now, its so good and i miss it :-(

[cloudicus]

You seem to have so much bad luck with youtube :( I hope this video is put back up soon! Good luck!

[xXxheather23xXx]

O.O ohh no it's gone :(

[itachiuchihais1]

what the fuck why is it not here now i have to listen to one of the crappy recordings of this vid tht other people have on youtube

[Blackwolfleader]

How could this video be removed o.o

I've liste nto this song about a year ago or so i beleive. No i loo kfor it and it's gone o.o

[vickisnapples]

NO LONGER AVAILABLE/!?!?!?

[Lodark]

We're sorry, this Video is no longer available.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[squierbell]

I ñpve u *______*

[nitrovanje]

[dasistdochdoof]

Fuck! I almost startet Crieing and this never happend to me before, youve got such a beautiful voice!!!

[SniperCS]

I dont think you know how much people started loving you by this. You have an amazing voice and an amazing talent. Ive possibly listened to this song like 900 times at least. I did rip it off of YouTube and made it into an Mp3 so I could put it on my iPod but Ill surely be downloading your EP :D

[2359hrs]

[BarneyFife00]

Zen, you shouldn't post because you remove any doubts that anyone might have ever had that you are a moron.

[2point4litre]

zen why you hatin... props for her, haters never prosper

[ianhuang]

hey mr good at comedy videos but cant be fucked to do anything about it. yeah you just keep doing what you do, absolutely nothing, with your life, except sitting on your ass throwing racist comments at people on the internet, cuz youre probably too much of a pussy to do it in real life.

alright, dont take it too personally you poor baby, its alright that your mom doesnt love you, its not your fault.

[ironflesh]

haahahah that was a fucking random funny comment :P good job zen, made me laugh. Still a nice though.

[crazybisuit3]

what a dickhead

[InfraNova]

You're disgusting.

[ryuk175]

dude your gay shut the fuck up and get a life she was good and you know it

[LasseArguck]

Hey guys, some time ago I ve seen a video of Larking step synchronized in sign language. The video must be taken off the net, as I dont find anything around the cloud. Anybody knows how to get it? (Mail to me)

Greetings
