Laura Marling: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Музыка
In this performance at the NPR Music offices, two pieces from Laura Marling's newest record, 2011's A Creature I Don't Know, bookend a gorgeous new song called "Once." She'd never even recorded "Once," let alone released it, so consider this performance a premiere of sorts.
Set List:
"Don't Ask Me Why"
"Once"
"Sophia"

love on a crumpet
She's the full package; voice, chords, lyrics.
Laura Marling is an original. Like Joni. Nobody else quite like them. Intelligence. Beauty. Grace. Chops. Just wonderful.

PetrifiedProduction Just for fun, I have to tease you a bit . . . is she or original or is she like joni? Because she can't be both.

I think she meant that Laura Marling is an original, like Joni Mitchell is an original.

She's original. Just like her. I hope you realize the irony.
Always come back to this once or twice a year, she's so dialed in with this set. Her lyrics really paint a feminine picture of what the other side of love and connection can feel like in my opinion. She's a great song writer.

I feel the mournful loss of rusk in every part of this set. Im here too often a year. Its too good
To have such command of voice and sense of presence at 22. Yes she’s amazing.
Now THIS is folk music. Brilliant.
Learning recently that Laura and I are the same age has totally transformed my appreciation for her music. She would have been 21 during this performance, it's mindblowing.

She's actually absolutely beautiful. What a voice and lyrics too.
Those opening chords bring me back instantly. A Creature I Don't Know is still such a deeply meaningful album for me. Much love to Laura Marling 🙏💚🙏
This concert is extraordinary for Laura Marling. Her voice sounds deeper than usual, and the camera angles (plus her wardrobe and makeup) make her look more mature. She's totally a Joni reincarnate.

Exactly what I was thinking!
she has set the bar extremely high here with this incredible performance
My god, probably the most perfect woman ever. I could care less that she didn't say a word, the way she connects with her music is truly beautiful. Her lyrics are beautiful. Her guitar playing is beautiful. Gosh, she's beautiful.

If she'd been perfect she could not have made this music. Hers is not about perfection. But i understand you wouldn't change a thing about her or her music.

I could listen over and over and over. There are nuances of so many other folk singers but she has her own authentic voice. Such talent!
Laura and her guitar, is all we need
I first listened to her like 5 years ago and I still listen to her on my ipod, but I never bothered to keep up with her work, and now I've got the joni chills, I am really starving for a live show from her, now.
I keep coming back to this. She’s damn brilliant.
Over the years only Laura has stayed as my favorite,,,,,, she is queen.

Yes, I agree! Queen
The guitar in Sophia always gives me goosebumps.
She's also a lovely guitarist. Her songwriting is brilliant. Her voice is gorgeous. I can actually hear and understand every word. What a joy.
I've been into Laura a long time. I think she's got something very special going on.
Wow, you don't *often* come across a voice this rich and beautiful...it MAKES you stop what you're doing and pay attention. I'm in awe...
Oh Laura, you are such a sweet work of art.
ever since I found laura marling's music I haven't stopped listening, she's awesome and everything she puts out is beautiful
This is the best live performance I've ever seen anyone!!!!!! Wow
Laura is almost indescribable. There are the references, similarities, predecessors but she is an island of song and spirit. I’m n love with the truth of her voice and songs.
I keep thinking of Bert Jansch. The richness and complexity of guitar and voice, the complete mastery of both.
And "Once" is not the main song of this set; no, it is "Sophia." Musical genius. Love it!
She mesmerizes me.
I knew while watching this I needed to eat some simple foods slowly with my eyes closed. Tomato slices and salty tapenaude. What a special talent Laura is. Thank you, Tiny Desk and Spotify for all the wonderful musical discovery.
She's so amazing - such a huge fan! Her songs make me feel somehow sad and content at the same time.
Laura knows the meaning of beauty.
"All I didn't know needed doing had been done" SO GOOD
Best music session I've ever heard!
Having come of age with Joni, I was wondering if I would ever again see a talent who could thrill me like she did . My wait is now over. Laura is, like Joni, a true artist.
Your soul is a pearl, Laura.
I've been listening to her for 1000 years.
Can't stop watching this. For years!
I hear Bill Callahan more than anyone else. The semi-talking thing really hammers that point home.
How am I supposed to ever listen to the album version of "Sophia" after hearing this?! Such an amazing song and voice.
This version of Sophia 😍😍 Gorgeous ringing guitar tone too.
I've been watching this for weeks and it gets even better every time. Everything about this is straight up gorgeous
I definitely just cried from watching this. Beautiful voice.
still floors me
This is an intimate set with,in my opinion(time will write)THE BEST SINGER/SONGWRITER OF THE 21ST CENTURY

All of her music should be recorded like this instead of that overproduced crap that they release. I would buy it all in a heartbeat. It is difficult to listen to the overproduced stuff. It just isn't the same

I just found Laura Marling. I just became a fan.
AHHHH I LOVE her! So glad she did one of these!
Thank you so much, I always find wisdom on her words. I needed to listen to “Don’t ask me why”
Like no other .she's amazing
Awesome and so inspirational. Made me cry. Thank you
I love her low voice parts and how she plays guitar! Makes me wanna sit outside in the heat, drinking cold beer in the evening and stuff...
I cannot but come here. Once is enough
Laura is so lovely! I keep waiting for you guys to host Johnny Flynn too 😭 pretty please!!
Intelligent lyric with angelic voice. What more could you ask.
What a unique sound, a true performer. Haven't heard of her before, but will definitely check out more!
Once is amazing! I am floored.
holy crap, I have no words. Just tears....
i actually hear Joni Mitchell all over the place in the first piece. A poet with phrasing and space that is as easy for her as breathing. oxoxoxoxox
"...I know it's not right, but it's real."
Just found this - mesmerising singing and playing talent
Astounding songwriting and performance.
the recording at npr is might I say better than on the original record

Wow. First time listening to her, & I haven't been knocked over like that by someone in a very long time.
I find it a shame how many people fail to even have an opinion(or time for one) these days. I love what you are doing, Giver! Thank you! @lauramarling
YEAH FINALLY!!!!! Laura Marling is the BEST!
Wonderful, I love Laura Marling.
she gives me crazy goosebumps.
Awesome! It sounds great. Thank you!
wowsa, her voice knocked me sideways, upways, downways and any other way one would care to go!!
For some reason, I knew this would happen some time!!! I love you, Laura!! :DD
i love people who are not so special! what if she was special? one of the greatest voices i've heard from a very long time.
LOVE her singing.
She is an exquisite talent ... ♥
Wow. She sounds better live and solo than on her albums. Sophia is def one of my favourite songs. That voice........
quality, thankyou Laura, remember hearing you on the radio and mentioning how you first started playing guitar on your daddies lap, a quote my dad uses a lot funnily enough is ask me no questions and i'll tell you know lies..
It's not like she's doing anything new, but what she is doing is so beautiful, and I love that she uses the classical it suits her
Beautiful!
This is the definition of beauty.
i don't think her voice will ever leave me
so Beautiful!
Laura Marling is amazing.
i love her voice.
Tears... I miss my kids
Such an old soul, all the way back to her first album when she was, what, 16?

''youngest of three daughters, Marling learned guitar at an early age. Her father, Sir Charles William Somerset Marling, the 5th Marling Baronet, ran a recording studio'' ..certainly no sheltered, underprivileged upbringing, that's fo' sho'
'Once is enough to break you.'
This is awesome
Being one of the first people to see a video like this with such a beautiful performer feels sort of like waking up when it's been snowing and seeing that your footprints are the only thing in the world. (better than F1RST lol, huh?)
She's perfection.
You are amazing!
she is incredible.
so graceful.
Joni Mitchell's Court and Spark/For The Roses/Hejira era comes to mind. And maybe earlier ones. Reminded me a bit of john martin too
thank you. and keep on writing.
