Laura Marling ft. Marcus Mumford - Blackberry Stone

Some background info: Laura used to date Charlie Fink, and his band, Noah and the Whale, produced her first album, Alas, I Cannot Swim. Laura and Charlie broke up shortly after, and Noah and the Whale wrote their new album, The First Days of Spring, which eloquently documents Charlie's heartbreak. Laura then teamed up with a new band, Mumford & Sons, to produce her new album, I Speak Because I Can, which includes this rebuttal to one of Charlie's mournful compositions, Hold My Hand as I'm Lowered. Oh, by the way, she's been dating Marcus Mumford since she teamed up with his band, and the line, But I whisper that I love this man, now and for forever, is in reference to him. These two are my power couple; if they were to break up, I think I would be more upset than the both of them combined.

 

"Well I own this field, and I wrote this sky
And I have no reason to reason with you

I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you were lowered, 
But I understand that I'd never let it go
I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you were lowered, 
But I understand that the world does what it does

And you never did learn to let the little things go
And you never did learn to let me be
And you never did learn to let little people grow
And you never did learn how to see

But I whisper that I love this man, now and for forever 
To your soul as it floats out of the window
To the world that you turned your back on
To the world that never really let you be"
