[lails2000]

[lails2000]

the french intro rocks it shouldve been on the actual album. wouldve been nice.

[NextSophie]

[ooScribbles]

they remind me of fever ray and bjork all rolled into one.

[jiminho21]

Magnifique!

[fifthdaughter]

Her voice is so sultry when she sings in French.

[sepas2983]

i love the queens and the court of jester clapped adored and everyone start to clapping great!

[LAURAISBOB]

[satanicsquirrel01]

i wish that opening was on the album. its fantastic. i mean the french bit.

[AleXIXandra]

Yes! I'm french and I love the french medieval bit and the little accent is just TOO cute :)

[lails2000]

can u give me the exact french and english of what she says in the beginning? i know she is saying something like i am the little knight with the earth under my feet... i want the french as well tho.

[sterenn83]

In french she says : "Je suis le petit chevalier. Avec la terre dessous mes pieds. Je ne veux pas m'effrayer.

Je suis le petit chevalier. Avec le ciel dessous mes yeux. J'irai te visiter. J'irai te visiter."

[lails2000]

thanks!

[thestatementhaircut]

@lails2000

I don't know what the translation is but she's singing 'le petit chevalier' by Nico from the album Desertshore.

[TheReplenishingFlame]

@thestatementhaircut Interesting! I wonder if the following line in BFL's 'Horse And I' (which also directly precedes 'Trophy' on the 'Fur And Gold' album) is a reference to this Nico album you mention: "...Called a horse out from the woodland / Take her there, through the desert shore..."?

[ozdude81]

Beautiful sound!!!! Can't wait to see her support radiohead at victoria park!

[neikocaroline]

crappy choir..I dun like her choirs at the concert.

I love her don't get me wrong.

[ooScribbles]

yeah the singing from the keyboardist needs to be softer and from some one different. i just found this band recently. i like them alot!

[Fredistheocean]

@neikocaroline I soooo agree, it's too bad though, she sounds really good in that set. They kindof bring the performance down.

[stuff0in0the0stars]

wtf?

[lukeap]

wow, great blend of sounds.

[satanicsquirrel01]

psychedelic BABE!!

[robpri]

pretentious crap, looked like they were nodding off in the library.

[olensbro]

Is that why they were clapping at the end? Her music is hypnotically scary beautiful.

[Elaneban]

I love people that chat crap like you they make me laugh. If you dnt like her DON'T WATCH IT. there's always that groups that like to comment on artists they hate just to get a reaction

[robpri]

Your comment does not make sense! I take it your trying to have a go a me for having an opinion that differs to yours. Just ignore my comment if it displeases you so much. Fool.

[Garretthomas47]

Absolutely amazing live! i hope i get to see them play at least once before i die. Nothing but Love for Bat for Lashes

[AleXIXandra]

Same here !! yyyihhaa !!

[AisforAdorable]

this is magnificent. it makes me feel completed. don't know how to formulate in an other way.

[RainhaFaca]

Je suis le petit chevalier

Avec la terre dessous mes pieds

Je ne peux pas me effroyer

Je suis le petit chevalier

Avec le ciel dessus mes yeux

J'irai te visiter

J'irai te visiter

[makemudpies]

she sounds like a siren drawing you into some other beautiful and magical realm!

[Pragjag]

Nothing like this ever happened in Lancaster in the 9 years I lived there! Shame.

[Halitosis235]

Damn, I knew I shouldn't have left Lancaster...

[amebix23]

the first part of the song is a cover from Nico of the album desertshore.

[libraryfiend]

genius idea :-)gorgeous, dreamlike etc deserve to change people's lives.

[Nes232]
