I finally saw her play live yesterday after somewhat passively listening to her music for years. It was stunning! Her voice is from another planet and her performance so beautiful and emotional yet playful at the same time. Am now listening to her most recent album World of Work on headphones again more intently and the songs and lyrics unlock a whole new set of emotions and fuzzy feelings. It is so great to find an artist who does that. Thanks Clarissaaaa

I could go on forever…but there is truly nobody like her!! I’ve been a fan of hers since I discovered Be the Cowboy! She puts so much thought and care into everything, from lyrics to composition to performance. Every album has the ‘Mitski’ vibe, but is also able to encapsulate a whole different atmosphere between each! She’s able to encapsulate the most indescribable feelings in such a poetic way and deserves all the recognition in the world! She’s just so so so talented. Saw her the other night and was just in awe :’)
Defo put on some headphones, close your eyes and just listen <3

i’ve seen her and her band 4 times over the years…i make an effort to see her anytime she’s in nyc bc it’s such a beautiful experience.
she’s got such a good stage presence and vocals, her band is immensely talented, and they all always have great chemistry. the shows honestly feel very therapeutic to me (all shows do but this is something special). she also picks some really cool openers and i’ve discovered a lot of good music that way. she’s left the crowd in awe on multiple occasions. hoping to see her again someday soon bc i know it won’t disappoint.

Somewhere between the ornate quietude of Nick Drake circa "Bryter Later" and Joni Mitchell's pre-jazz period lies the music of the amazing Laura Marling.
I saw her tonight here in London at an old church now converted to a performance venue, in front of a partisan crowd who knew every lyrical twist of every tune.
She is a veritable triple threat:
* Gorgeous voice
* Incredible guitarist, right up there technically with English folkies like John Renbourn and Bert Jansch
* Songwriter par excellence, with melodic gifts and lyrical wit/panache to spare.
Her latest album, "Patterns In Repeat," is a love letter to motherhood (Marling is a new mom) and a grower in the very best sense of the word.
Tonight she was joined after an initial solo set (marked by a remarkable fourteen minute opening medley of songs from 2013: "Take the Night Off/I Was An Eagle/You Know/Breathe") by a string quartet, her regular bassist, and the Hackney Deep Throat Choir, which added incredible color and layers to her new songs.
It's so rare that you get to spend an evening in a church with a musician who is both technically dazzling and emotionally earth-shaking, someone capable of drawing gasps one moment and tears the next.
Laura Marling is that kind of artist. IYDKNYK.

Now this may come as a surprise to people like me, but leaving on time for appointments actually stops you from being late. I’ve been on time for two doctor’s appointments last week and it really does change the tune to your entire day for the better. 🎶 Plus, not feeling rushed or anxious about being late makes you able to enjoy the ride there. You’re welcome!

This man became the most attractive person on the internet overnight. Speaking up for the rights of the oppressed and opening up to Elmo are hot.
Whatever film or project this is pre-emptive PR for - I‘m in.
PS, he is 40!?
