Laufey "From the Start" Official Lyrics & Meaning | Verified

[@oliverfalco7060]

She singing the lyrics with her guitar here and the fact that it is practically the same as the final song shows the raw talent she has for music. Also, the lyrics are beautiful...

[@ImjustAgirl0903]

Yess❤ well said

[@gve-tp1kd]

Not enough people mention her facial expressions. It’s like she’s experiencing the emotions for the first time

[@entrtnr]

Yes!!

[@saftobulle]

Stop diminishing her work by saying it’s raw talent. She’s this good because she’s been putting down the hours required.

[@oliverfalco7060]

@@saftobulle No doubt she has, when I said she has raw talent I didn't mean it in that way. What I wanted to point out is that she has a really solid skill for singing and playing instruments compared to most mainstream pop artists nowadays. And part of that is talent, cause not anyone is able to ever sing like that, but definitely most of it is her merit.

[@gilangmuhammad8880]

watched her concert with my gf, while knowing NOT A SINGLE song and I still shed a tear at the end of her session. My gf insisted me to come and I'm so glad I went and discover her

[@quarklefunkle]

She is a treasure I hope u and ur gf enjoy bc her first tour was outstanding and I can only imagine this one will be even better !! Learn some other songs ur sure to shed some more tears haha

Bossa nova has always been so special to me as a brazillian teenager having a singer like laufey bringing such a light of this sounds into modern music is a blessing Thank you so much for your songs ❤

[@Kallensayz]

She’s actually a Jazz singer but I agree

[@regulus476]

@@Kallensayz Bossa Nova is the Brazilian version of Jazz. It's a mix between American Jazz and Samba, and some of her songs, like "From The Start" and "Falling Behind", are actually Bossa Nova

[@alvaro5805]

You guys in the comments, are All wrong. bossa nova is a original genre of Brazil, not inspired by jazz or something like that. Is a pure gem of Brazil, If you want study about that, is a Lot of information in the internet

It's so crazy, the fact that someone's voice and everything else can change, just from a sound. This song is without a doubt, beautiful. And I don't even have to look at it. THIS is MUSIC

[@Laaydimples]

I always say that Laufey songs are for hopeless romantics they sound like romantic comedies in the form of music and they truly make me happy!!! One of my favorite artists ever amazing voice , and lyricism.

[@sl1ck557]

The first time I heard Laufey was on TikTok, she sang a cover of Ella Fitzgerald’s, “Makin’ Whoopee”. Fell in love with her voice and style. I’m so happy to see her fulfilling her dreams and seeing others get to experience her artistry.

[@e10_f]

Laufey, in my opinion, is an unequivocally sublime artist. Not only is her music cathartically euphonious, but her personality, emotions, and authenticity is reflected within the art she creates. To top it all off, she’s bringing Jazz, my favorite genre, to the forefront of my generation’s attention. This, I consider incredibly valuable. Her work truly is a testament to the fact that Jazz is not a dying art. But rather, an ever-evolving entity of timeless beauty.

She sang that live and her tone is so soothing. Ella Fitzgerald being one of her inspirations is nice.

Laufey is not only really talented, but also very musically intelligent. Also, as a Brazilian, she's one of the few foreigners who manage to get the essence of Bossa Nova.

finally there's a musician that actually deserves to be called 'genius', I'm praying she will cause a change in pop music because it hasn't been too musical lately. I always think people exaggerate when they say this but this genuinely feels like a breath of fresh air!

[@Glee73]

totally agree!!!

[@Hahshdhbcbcyoutube]

Usually pop songs are too repetitive catchy yes, but bland..

[@niekvanwensen]

@@Hahshdhbcbcyoutube first it was just repetitive which is boring sometimes but you can make it groovy, but the beats nowadays aren’t at all groovy, just completely soulless, and the lyrics are just trite and embarrassingly bad. I honestly do not get how people are listening to that current mainstream hiphop stuff

[@Hahshdhbcbcyoutube]

@@niekvanwensen never cared about lyrics since usually I listen to instrumental. But u totally agree.

[@Tokkitokiori]

I’m 10 years old and she’s my biggest inspiration, I love her so much she seems like a very kind and gentle person. I love Laufey so much, “from the start, oh how I wish” I get to meet her one day !!

I instantly fell in love with laufey's music. "From The Start" spoke to me in a way that no other song has. Never before have I listened to a song where I felt connected with every word. Truly an amazing experience.

[@TramIsAwesome]

This song is so beautiful yet also holds a relatable feeling of unrequited love and and acceptance of one’s own emotions to that. Wonderfully written, Laufey, and I hope to see you soon live one day ❤

weird that 'a breath of fresh air' in pop music is a style that sounded basically the same 60 years ago. I'm so glad that an actual young musician get's this kind of a huge spotlight for once.
