Laura Marling New Song (What He Wrote)

[loserairhead]

you sound like nancy sinatra. thank you.

[cameradiary]

@yellowtaipan

totally agree. i have seen her perform in LA. and she was breathtaking. she has accomplished so much at such a young age which only means she has plenty more masterpieces comin'!

[jillybilly862]

Forgive me Hera** Love me, oh lord** Her skin is white, and I'm light as the sun, so a holy light shines on the things you have done** How did he learn to hold fruit in his hands** (Left you alone when you (originally I) needed the light Fell to your knees and you wept for your life If he had have stayed, you might understand, If you had have stayed you never wouldn't taken my hand) He wrote, I'm low** Took him to war** Forgive me Hera** thanks for posting though =D

[yeahtash]

love love love this song.

[SherelleT92]

This song is all I play. She's amazing x

[Jessica1133123244134]

such a beautiful words come throw her mouth with the voice of an angle. . . . Beautiful . . . . .

[aussieelyse]

the voice of an angle..lol. everybody wants to have a voice of an angle....:P:P

[RIGGlovesnigg]

This has me absolutely hooked. If I didn't love this woman before, I certainly do now. A very, very talented songwriter!

[perrinta]

It's called 'What He Wrote' and is on the new album due in March. It's inspired by wartime love letters that Laura read in a newspaper apparently.

[markvalentine63]

Does anyone know the name of this song?

[pigget]

@markvalentine63 what he wrote

[imob92]

What he wrote

[tellabea]

wow beautiful song... waaa.. gave me chills !

[elliemakesmusic]

i pray that this is going to be on the album.

[peteregan86]

leonard cohen-esque! an amazing song...

[hiddeninromance]

@peteregan86

Very, I guess it comes from the simple arrangement and biblical references. Sounds like "Songs of..."/"Songs from a Room"/"Songs of Love and Hate" era.

[nihilistichick]

what is the name of this? love ittt

[s2820]

i wish i could see her one day, i can't wait, she is amazing

[iloveMARCandDAVID]

she's my idol :)

[giantlawnmower]

I was there! Looking for this for a while... so haunting! Thanks.

[eminemdog206]

im seeing her 12th august :) !!!!!!

[tom9987]

i love her music so much

this song is painfully beautiful, as someone else said

i hope to god that i see her someday.

[xpolkadotgirlx]

this song is so painfully beautiful.

[cameradiary]

I'm so glad, honored that i can hear her in my life time

[yellowtaipan]

@cameradiary at only 20 years old, I feel that she will be much greater than she is now. I cherish every time I can see her live in LA, because I know one day I'll have to pay 3x more for a ticket in the future, :)

[eminemdog206]

who cares about twilight? it's awful. don't associate something so pointless with something so beautiful.

yayuhh.

[mahfoxylady]

Laura Marling is amazing and critising people that adore her work make you?? pathetic! get a life!

[eminemdog206]

im just saying... laura marling is one of the few musicians that i consider as 'precious'.

[hiddeninromance]

@eminemdog206

Along with Eminem? :D

[LysanderScamander]

oh God, I hope this makes the album!

[eminemdog206]

actually crying at this. so hauntingly beautiful

[eminemdog206]

oh my. WOW!!!

[shessohi]

omg no matter what this is about it's such a beautiful song!!!! i mean i didn't think she could get much better <3 <3 <3

[itsvintagedarling]

love me or loathe...=love me although?

he loved=he wrote?

our skin is white = asking his way?

begged him to stay in my cold wooden rib= cold wooden grip?

he wrote, im loved = im low

me biting him = fighting him

he rode - he wrote, im broke, please send for me.

...these are a few corrections i think :)

.....i havent heard of these rumours!?!..lol where did they all come from!

xxx

[ScarlettBellamy]

thanks :) it's such a good song.. well I haven't heard the rumours until now, I just observed that they both looked heartbroken (and there were rumours that Laura and Charlie had been going out) xxx

[ScarlettBellamy]

You know I was wondering that too! Me and my sister thought that she looked heartbroken that night, and then when I saw Noah and the Whale after that Charlie also looked close to tears... most other people think I'm reading too much into things though...

[ScarlettBellamy]

yes, haha. I'm glad you saw it too! What's this with Johnny Flynn though? do you think something happened between him and Laura?

[ScarlettBellamy]

Ah! this is confusing!! Where did you read this? I always thought Marcus liked Laura.. not that I know them personally or anything, haha.

[absolutroot]

@stowawaygirl

Impossible.  Johnny Flynn is engaged to Emmy the Great.

[MsAmilie]

@absolutroot He is engaged. But not to Emmy the Great but to his long term gf!

[hagger9003]

As far as I'm aware, it doesn't have a name yet.

In any case, here are the lyrics, as I really like this song! Please suggest corrections if you think I got something wrong. And sorry about the length...

very new song - laura marling

Forgive me, Hera, I cannot stay,

He cut out my tongue, there is nothing to say.

Love me or loathe, he threw me away,

He laughed at my sins, in his arms I must stay. =(verse 1)

[hagger9003]

He loved, I'm broke,

Please send for me.

I'm broken too, and spoken for,

Do not tempt me. =(chorus 1)

(continued)

Our skin is white, and I'm light as the sun,

So holy light shines on the things you have done.

so I asked him, how he became this man?

how did he learn to hold fruit in his hands?

[hagger9003]

And where is the lamb that gave you your name, He had to leave though I begged him to stay. Left you alone when you needed the light, Fell to your knees and you wept for your life. If he had have stayed you might understand If he had have stayed you never would have taken my hand. He wrote, I'm loved (chorus 1) And where is the lamb that gave you your name, He had to leave though I begged him to stay. Begged him to stay in my cold wooden rib, Begged him to stay by the light of the ship.

[hagger9003]

Me biting him, fighting light fighting dawn,

And the waves came and stole him and took him to war

He rode, I'm broke,

(chorus 1)

(verse 1)

And we write, thats alright,

I miss his smell.

And we speak when spoken too,

And that suits us well. (Repeat)

That suits me well.

[mgabor0830]

Does anyone happen to know the name of this song? I know it's quite new, and not released...

[smlykat]

thanks for posting this. it's great

[xsvsx]

This is so beautiful...

[mgabor0830]

Tragically brilliant. I adore Laura's music.

[nihilistichick]

beautiful song. this is just like a diane cluck song, poetically. But Laura Marling at the same time. I think she would like that.
