Robot Ponies

[johnrizal]

THUMB.

[sweetcl0ver]

Saw your performance in Bloomington last night, Laura! You were great! I think this was the song that stole our hearts :-)

[tvheadstudioz]

wow, this is an amazing song, im stunned, ive never heard anything like this

[Adonidus]

Man this is an awesome song!

Is their any way to get the Kalimba sheet music for it though? I'd really like to learn how to play it

[Adonidus]

Is there any way to get the Kalimba music score for the song? You can only get so far with repeating it over and over again ;-P

[UWEngBlog]

I absolutely love this song. The lyrics are great - they make me laugh every time I hear them ^_^.

[Blackie7424]

I read a review of Laura in the Globe and Mail today and just had to hear what her music was all about. It is like something from a childs' dream on a level of Shakespearean brilliance and charm. Keep on keeping on, Laura!

[inthemoonlight8]

The first time I heard this song I was driving in my car at night, just before christmas. I actually pulled over it was so enchanting! Thank you for one of the most uniquely beautiful songs I have ever heard.

[UtopainDreamer]

Wow. I just found my new inspiration to stop biting my thumb-nails.

[imnotgoing2usethis]

Me too.

[F34tus]

I first heard this at Lola in London last summer. Really unique sound, I very much enjoyed her set - and the whole weekend. :)

[muflermachinegun]

I think I heard that Laura Barrett is Stevie Nicks' daughter, That isn't true is it?

[redatlas79]

this is a truly magical little piece.

I had completely forgotten about laura barrett, after moving away from toronto, but its not likely that i will forget again. This is unquestionably one of the most hauntingly beautiful songs i've ever heard.

Thank you Laura!

[Wilmerino]

just like a Joana Newsom of the Mbira

[cookoofunners]

i had to go on ebay to buy a kalimba because of this song lol

[cookoofunners]

so so charming!

[mancole96]

I love this song!

[billyredux]

best song of the first eight years of the 21st century, in my opinion. PROVE ME WRONG!

[billyredux]

best song of the first eight years of the 21st century, in my opinion.

[Grimgator]

Clearly you haven't heard most of the songs off of infinity on high

:P

[mancole96]

I remember when this was posted... When ever I listen to it, it gives me a unique feeling. I like it!

[mishaglouberman]

I think where the posted lyrics say "On their knees//every little girl's dream", they should say "Underneath every little girl's tree".

[barrettlaura]

I've replied, thanks Misha!

[weaselidiotu]

i always come back to this song ... i find it enchanting.

[seurat2]

The video is pretty good, the song is remarkable. Reminds me a bit of Pram, which is good for me because I love Pram. I managed to find a copy of the original numbered edition of the ep, now I'll have to go out and get the newer ep too. Great work, and I look forward to hearing the full album in the summer.

[maesrtk]

Lyrics please. It would be great :)

[saturnswirls]

Christmas Eve twenty fifty-three

On their knees

every little girl's dream

A robot pony

Comb their soft and luscious nylon fur

Listen close hear their clockwork hearts work

Robot ponies

[barrettlaura]

It's actually:

"Christmas Eve, 2053:

Underneath every little girl's tree - a robot pony"

Otherwise, thanks for posting my lyrics so people could understand!

[saturnswirls]

Oops! Ha! That makes a lot more sense! Sorry about that. Misheard lyrics are always funny.

P.S. - I love your music! <3

[saturnswirls]

They feed on plastic bags cut up like lettuce right out of your hand things get out of hand unless you use one of twenty preset functions To make them understand To make them understand You know best You know best Choose between seven pony types Some like swimming We made those babies airtight Robot ponies

[saturnswirls]

Children, parents spread the word around

Robot ponies take your granny out to

Robot Ponies Geriatric Ranch

Tennis, golf and basketball

these robot ponies do it all

They fucking love it all

They'll tuck you in at night

and sing to you

You know best

You know best

[saturnswirls]

Christmas eve Twenty fifty-three

Underneath every little girl's tree

Robot Ponies

Comb their soft and luscious nylon fur

Listen close hear their clockwork hearts work

Robot ponies

[saturnswirls]

Back to school two thousand fifty-four

new models on the way

nothings here to stay

Last year's pony doesn't mind

being left behind

being left behind

You know best

You know best

[Skyler7749]

Wonderful just wonderful :)

[amyrivier]

awesome, laura!

[secretcloud]

This song is hilariously awesome.  The part about them eating cut up plastic bags like lettuce made me chuckle...heck this is brilliant.

Glad I stumbled upon this.

[howlhowll]

I've loved this song for a long while, but this video is really quite wonderful as well! xo Stevie

[rhino2223]

Great video, amateurish voice. TERRIBLE sound editing, the music is too loud and overpowers the sound of the lyrics, making them annoying and a bit hard to understand. Noisy.

[seangibat]

choose between seven pony types.. some like swimming, we made those babies air-tight!

[weaselidiotu]

beautiful song and video.

[vardo5]

i am a robot!

[Jamesatron454]

Oh, It's you again... another random encounter thanks to the internet. I was just clickn' away and there was "robot ponies". You seems you have quite a large following on myspace, I hope this takes off for you as well. Still digging it. hmmmmmm....

I think I sound crazy?! :)

[sandflyfever]

[msamms2006]

That was quite enjoyable :D

[mancole96]

[blahboyblah]

I can't stop listening to this, I love it!

[cjsinclair]

Freaky and surreal.. I like!

[fauximagination]

it's okay :)

[duckonbikex]

Elegant video, Laura. Nice to see it getting some attention from the good people at YouTube.

A nice, ironic use of Pravda. (A shot in the dark, but somehow I don't think Stalin had Robot Ponies in mind when pumping out this propaganda. Although it would give new meaning to "armored cavalry...")

[barrettlaura]

Hey there, stranger! Nice to see you on the 'Tube. :)

[duckonbikex]

Hey, I'm in law school... What else do I have to do?

[sanmal88]

I love this song! <3

[mancole96]

WEIRD!!!  but cool

[mancole96]

why did you - it?

[mancole96]

they fucking love it all? lol

[gh3770android]

My android body is merely the shell of my soul, but this metal shell must be given its due, Like a robot pony that carries its master back home.

Awesome video!!

[TemperFire]

boring -.-

[weedabix76]

yup

[Spanky00Cheeks]

at 3:35 the title in bold is "for democracy, against fascistic dictatorship."

[barrettlaura]

What an excellent sentiment! Thanks for the translation!

[weedabix76]

lol ur really smart!

[GilroyGroupProd]

What language is it in?

[barrettlaura]

Russian

[6666jordan6666]

alright, i love original music and artsy music videos but this just didnt do it for me. little slow, little lacking of a point( or i just missed it) and the music was a little long and moany.. not to mention repetative. i beleive you have the skill and the vision but this is lacking something.

[achimendez]

"Ritalin."

[silvertongue]

Spot on darlin'! Very cool execution.

[RRoussel1]

Belle mise en scène. Facile à regarder et écouter. Merci.

[dipsetmuthafucka]

Holy no way, Laura! This gets featured just after meeting on Sunday?! Just so you know, I've never been featured, and I do the dancing every day, so this is great! My favourite Toronto single in years!!!

[xTurnipTimex]
