You should never feel embarrassed by your trouble with living, because it's the ones with the sorest throats who've done the most singing. Beautiful.

[@BrockTheTrainer]

Found this song because youtube randomly recommended me the song "ending time" by the lazarus plot, which apparently is sung by this same "Laura" he talks about 😭

[@firsttimecallerlongtimelis836]

This song is a masterpiece and this version in particular is absolutely brilliant/beautiful

[@bengonzales1182]

I was hoping at the end he would go, "That was really great!"

[@JohnADuerk]

This is a solid track. I had no idea someone wrote a song about Laura. The Lazarus Plot were a good 90s band. Laura was always friendly to me. Simon is still a close friend. Suburban Chi-town punk, represent.

[@bIoodypingu]

Is she still around?

[@JohnADuerk]

@@bIoodypingu The last time she came up in conversation, I heard she was in California.

[@bIoodypingu]

@@JohnADuerk So the comments I've seen in various places that say she killed herself aren't true.

[@JohnADuerk]

@@bIoodypingu Wow, I've never heard that before. From what I've been told, she's alive and well.

[@bIoodypingu]

@@JohnADuerk That's good to hear. I actually emailed Simon to ask him, he responded to my initial email within 15 minutes but then when I asked about Laura he never replied back so I appreciate you letting me know. The places I've seen say she died have all been in relation to Bright Eyes so I think his fans were just making up their own stories based on what he's mentioned about her in his songs.

[@Whatever1992]

One of my favorite songs. I would give so much to see this live.

[@brismith6148]

so hauntingly beautiful

[@championette..]

+Bri Nicole ... my sentiments exactly!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@alexperkins8433]

best. muso. poet. ever. LOVE CONOR OBERST ****chefs kiss this song

[@AJD...]

The final lala la feels so empty without that famous bar cheers that's in the studio version. Absolutely love this one too though!

[@rebekahtoepperwein4502]

“Laura you were the saddest song”

[@suburbanapathy4251]

Beautiful

1:51 on the right with a hat. that's Conor's mentor, Simon Joyner. (95% sure).

[@cornwaytitty1525]

Yeah that is! Nice spot.

[@elbeatleperdido1]

does anybody else wonder if he felt any kind of pain when he played that song after years?

[@Isaiiahii]

Do you know the back story? I've always wondered.

[@obscuX]

It is about an old friend of him who appearently was very depressed. At one point he moved on with his live, leaving her behind.

[@crazyshit8]

Isaiah ii Lauren Laurent was the girl who was in a sad/suicide emo band in the 90's called The Lazarus Plot. she had some amazing stuff. they made 2 records. I posted them on my channel

[@Isaiiahii]

theangryemonerd Interesting. So what became of her? Thanks.

[@madvillain2675]

@what a jabroni you commented this like 3 times you bozo

[@monaiwilliams858]

woooo

[@genericusername337]

oh conny

[@ocean4307]

[@marcusakathecommonwealthco637]

Then I refuse to leave wildrift lol

[@killymaybacoccini7070]

And furthermore, I'd wager that she's never written a song anywhere near even his weakest effort.

[@bIoodypingu]

What are you even talking about?

[@allenmickey8756]

wrong

[@TheCru5h1]

buddy used furthermore in a standalone statement and then literally just made a guess
