Laura Marling - Night After Night

Laura's new album, A Creature I Don't Know, took only 3 months to write and a mere 10 days in the studio to record. Though I agree with the buzz word "dark" being thrown around for this album, Laura describes the whole experience as natural and enjoyable. I'm quite fond of her recordings, but I find her live versions to be especially moving. This is Laura Marling performing Night After Night. I'm not sure if it's her maturing guitar style, her transfixing voice, or the honest passion in her writing that freezes both mind and body when I listen. But, in any case, I can't take this one off repeat.

I account to no one, hold nobody's ear.

I sold you my hand once and you hit me in fear.

I dont stand for the devil, I don't whisper in ears.

I stand on the mountains and call people to hear.
