Lyrics:
Though they may want you to tread in their trail
Only to see if the path they set fails
Though they may want you to take off your clothes
Whatever they think that the action exposed
With your clothes on the floor
Taking advice from some old balding bore
You’ll ask yourself “did I want this at all?”
Do you remember what I said
The book I left by your bed
The words that some survivor read
Lately I’ve been thinking bout our daughter growing old
All of the bullshit that she might be told
There’s blood on the floor
Maybe now you’ll believe her for sure
She remembers what I said
The book I left by her bed
The words that some survivor read
Though they may take you for all you had left
You wont be forgotten for what you had not done yet
So you wished for a kiss from god
You mourn in your childish loss
Innocence gone but its not forgot
You’ll cut your way through it somehow
You remember what I said
The book you left by your bed
The words that will outlive the dead

This song alone deserves 10 Grammys. It's the human soul in the form of music.

[@matthewwoodley7313]

I've been a fan of Laura's music for so many years and it just grows more and more beautiful.

[@robinzsoder8609]

I only wish they would keep on playing that ending for a few more minutes awwww that’d be great !

[@parkhinagar1494]

Congrats on the Grammy Nomination!!!!❤❤❤

[@leasyjiah]

Got this from clairo story ❤

[@garrethenderson9695]

Why do the strings coming in always make me tear up.

[@sidekickcleveland7365]

Her words could cut like a knife to the very core!

[@garrethenderson7561]

This is one of the best songs I've ever heard.

[@Sascha_Franck]

Oh wow. This just blew me away.

[@christinamarynicolemusic]

Makes me cry.

[@stuartcoles2928]

She sings to my heart

[@neilsimpson1042]

I utterly love this song and this is not a criticism, but someone listening to this with me just realised that the strings from 3:44 have same melody as "everybody hurts, everybody cries" from Everybody Hurts by REM. I wonder if that was deliberate

[@GI_Jimbo]

Came here to post this. I'm pretty sure it is an intentional homage.

[@emilianoriosvillarreal5445]

Esto realmente me tocó el corazón de una forma que no puedo explicar

[@FionaFeyMusic]

Clicked through to see what was new, strange synchronicity, I also put out a song called 'For You' this week. (At the time a song for an unborn child who is now 16 m/o ❤) Another gorgeous lot of songs from Laura Marling, that's my night sorted :)

[@abaptiste]

So you sing about that subject. I'm crying tears of relief

[@anthonygreen4659]

Beautiful and emotive. As always.

[@toufytaylorsversion8700]

1:24 wow Laura u r amazing

[@data_analytics_sweden]

Nice song if you have a daughter. 💚

[@Tuffetti]

Also really nice if you don’t. You’ve managed to pigeonhole a beautiful song by inferring that it’s only a nice song if you have a daughter.

[@stevencornfield6631]

She is now a mother with her daughter

[@sawnia5463]

a sensitive sunshine

[@rauldylan2182]

Musica muita bonita! Ela é ótima

[@danieldaniel2]

Essa aí não brinca em serviço

[@Vicerooy]

So beautiful ❤

[@HeartSinking]

Gorgeous song ❤️

[@gordonmarthur315]

Cuts to the heart ♥, now, where is that book 📙. There's about 20 here at the moment. 🤔📙📘📗📚📔📕😱💭

[@longlivethedrama]

Sooo pretty

[@Optics2024]

I’m so glad Laura stayed true to herself. While the likes of George Ezra, Ed Sheeran and Ellie Goulding sold out at the first opportunity..... Laura Marling kept churning out these beautiful pieces of music. Thank you 🙏

[@manaspradhan8041]

I will just have to add there are so many more folk artists who are also doing great stuff that isn't plain pop numbers. Father John Misty is amazing, definitely give Pure Comedy a listen

[@Tuffetti]

The artists you mention here only manage to elicit a ‘meh’ reaction from me. Ezra, Sheehan and Goulding all so overrated and commercial (damn, that woman’s name (Ellie Goulding) sticks in my throat every time I say it, probably because I absolutely loathe her voice. She’s one of the most overrated singers out there and yet people love her?! I don’t get it?) Anyway, Laura Marling has a beautiful that’s also a uniquely versatile and surpasses the others by leaps and bounds.

[@Tuffetti]

@@manaspradhan8041 Pure Comedy sounds like Elton John and Billy Joel and a few others. Nothing unique or particularly interesting, but Laura Marling is something special. That said, her music isn’t original or in a category of its own ... it’s folky and very Joni Mitchellesq, BUT, she writes some truly beautiful songs and performs them stunningly.

[@joeboonmusic4004]

@@Tuffetti I would disagree with putting down FJM's music as simply a by-product of Elton John and Billy Joel. He's pretty instantly recognisable, with his satyrical and, often very dry lyricism. Also his albums have gorgeous production AND he's a wonderful musician (especially a ridiculous drummer). If you haven't got on with his music so much, his latest release (god's favourite customer) is probably his most personal and natural sounding record.

[@abigailenelow7876]

So pretty, voice....

[@alainacrowell8695]

so sweet yet deep. thank you ❤️

[@soijustlistenedto...]

still not ever of this excellence

[@jessicacleveland7117]

[@larabarra1817]

Grazie ❤️

[@ezadhafizkhlid3745]

For me this song something on 2020

[@sunimation2910]

GREAT ❤ !!

[@parthanaught1285]

This is awesome

[@GUiTERtUbE]

I repeat this for hell. No wonder if it's gonna be the most played of my Spotify at the year end 😂

[@funnycartoons1084]

I love you , Laura :-*

[@e4metal205]

wicked beat

[@Tuffetti]

Yeah, somehow I don’t think this song will ever be famous for its “beat”. Its beautiful lyrics, the stunning string accompaniment, her outstanding voice, but NOT its beat! 🙄

[@pp2hard1629]

Amazing😍

[@inMuro]

This is so good.

[@redouane657]

Outstanding as usual ❤

[@The_passiveObserver]

This is nice.

[@kayleigh5782]
