You do know of course that it is derived from paedophilic Pathan poem and the original intro line is "there is a boy across the river with a bottom like a peach, but alas I cannot swim"
I remember the videos where Laura couldn't like at the audience in cafe shows and whatnot... Long since removed from UA-cam. She is still remarkable in every sense of the word😊
@DKukiewicz I would't think so, because you have brought the album and so you are not taking anything you haven't already paid for, and you're right, this is fantastic!
there is , this is part of a dvd , a exclusive dvd of this gig along with a tour diary that came along with either i speak because i can or alas i cannot swim ( not sure sorry)
She's gorgeousl. Greetings to one and all from Jarrahnut in wonderful Western Australia. Thank you LadyPetraForsythe. You sound most regal ... are you the Queen's cousin ... or something like that?
Yes, yes he is, he used to play a lot with her. Also, I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the bass and the banjo are Winston Marshall and Ted Dwane from Mumford & Sons.
There would be no Mumford & Sons w/o Laura Marling. They were originally her backing band. She was engaged to Marcus Mumford and when they broke up the boys ditched and made it big in America. She is an amazing talent.
The lyrics are VERY simular to an old Pathan love song called the Zahkmi Dil (The Wounded Heart) the chorus of which goes "There's a boy across the river with a bottom like a peach, but alas I cannot swim".....Coincidence? I think not..... too funny.
This song completely does it for me.

@@DJNaija oh Thanks.. so what should I do now ? If i cannot swim ..
A warning sign I believe you are required to burn something or denounce Lara on twitter using the appropriate #
How could one possibly stay seated during the second half of this amazing performance?? I'd be up dancing.
Brilliant! I can’t stop listening to this song.
this is so much better live than recorded!
Most bands can’t do this
I concur. The album verz just doesn't have the "feel" that this performance does.
2024. I never realised just how clever this song really is ❤
This is Great. Legends.
She speaks my truth and i can do naught but love her for saying it
I'd love to listen to Laura singing up-tempo numbers more often!
She's incredible.

@bioneek
this song is a hidden track on Alas, I Cannot Swim,
it's about a minute or so after "Your Only Doll (Dora)"
Thanks for the upload. Love you for this ♥
This is the best version of this song. I like this performance better than the recorded one. I love this version so much!
Blossoms live truly
Most pop artists can’t sing like this if they trained for 20 years
1st time listenening to her...nice...a little joanny in her....thanks for uploading
Definitely!!
I LOVE her voice >_
I couldnt agree more!!!
I dont know if this is perfect cause of her, or cause of them.. in any case this is pure awesomenessss!!!
this is amazing
you're gold dear Laura
this was at st pauls in london i was there :D
she makes perfection look so effortless!
Oh man, it must have been SO much fun to be there... *sigh* sometimes I wish I didn't live in America.
sometimes!!!
Oh man, as soon as Marcus joined in (singing) I was in heaven. As if it wasn't amazing enough :D
Still, I’m watching this
simply great music
God I love Laura Marling, especially when she plays with Mumford.
Almost 5 years and only 150,000~ views. Not enough recognition that her talent deserves.
ThePuckYu Look now they are nine years
I think I just found the most amazing music video on youtube.
I agree! Love her voice -3
I really really wanna cover this song. Its so simple, yet its so difficult to sing like her....
She has so much talent. I love her so much.
Great video, she's so good! It's not fair
Thanks for posting
this is incredibly good and entertaining performance!!! i wish was there ;/
This video is perfect! Laura and her music are masterpieces🖤
Her smile makes me smile too :)
is that mumford and sons with her here,... too cool nice song
Marcus, Ted, and Winston!!
why isn't there a dvd of this awesomeness?
@DKukiewicz I would't think so, because you have brought the album and so you are not taking anything you haven't already paid for, and you're right, this is fantastic!
She's awesome in her own right, but when half of Mumford & Sons is playing with her, it gets ten times better.
ja
It's a hidden song, it comes after "Your Only Doll (Dora)"
this son speaks to my soul, i want it tattooed on me
just so amazing. what else is there to say?
Perfect
there is , this is part of a dvd , a exclusive dvd of this gig along with a tour diary that came along with either i speak because i can or alas i cannot swim ( not sure sorry)
love it:)
I love Laura. She's my lady crush.
@crazylizer27 Yes, it was a bonus track that came on after Your Only Doll I believe.
TED, MARCUS AND WIN!!
Erin Golden If by win you mean Winston, that's not Winston. If you just mean like WINNING then yes i agree :D
she has on the same top that in the mystery jets video.
i fucking love her.
i love her hair, it suits perfectly to her face. anyway, fantastic song
@seaforthpiper I think it was based on that actually... I read this comparison somewhere else.
She's gorgeousl. Greetings to one and all from Jarrahnut in wonderful Western Australia. Thank you LadyPetraForsythe. You sound most regal ... are you the Queen's cousin ... or something like that?
wow..
Is that Marcus Mumford?
Yes, yes he is, he used to play a lot with her. Also, I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the bass and the banjo are Winston Marshall and Ted Dwane from Mumford & Sons.
they used to be together..
There would be no Mumford & Sons w/o Laura Marling. They were originally her backing band. She was engaged to Marcus Mumford and when they broke up the boys ditched and made it big in America. She is an amazing talent.
it's like bonus track after Your only doll. (Just keep listening after the song + forest sounds.)
:)
Where is this? I love Laura she's amazing!
@damiensongs you do mean Joni Mitchell correct? I thought so as well
Is it the mumford sons backing this one?
I almost burst into applause with the audience at 2:04
love that the highest rated comments are both expressing a man-crush or girl-crush
have to agree completely
I want that t-shirt. If I can't find one, I will actually just go mental :)
Could never work out why this was tucked away on her debut album!
i'm a girl and i'm straight, but i think i'm in love with Laura :)
its ted dwane and marcus mumford from mumford & sons in the background
@Bevandao hey, by the time you get a voice like hers you go right ahead and use it in whatever way you like, k?
I really wanna learn this song even if I don't know how to play guitar
The lyrics are VERY simular to an old Pathan love song called the Zahkmi Dil (The Wounded Heart) the chorus of which goes "There's a boy across the river with a bottom like a peach, but alas I cannot swim".....Coincidence? I think not.....
too funny.
I love this song...what album is this song on?
The "reproduced" T-shirt she wore in the Mystery Jets video
love how the two top comments are from the same user :D
I love Marcus. He's my man crush.
@Lafayettebluesman you and me both.
Where is this place? Is it the same venue where Mumford and Sons did their Little Lion Boy video clip?
sooo nice :). Where is this recorded? Is it a church in Goteborg?
Is the guy playing the bass from Mumford and Sons?
The river could drown me under
Nick Cave on the violin? : P
@DISASTARCAKE123 ...is there a recorded version?
TED!
Why was I not sent an invitation?
Where winnie?
Who's the violinist?
"Work more, earn more, live more, have more fun!!" -good life motto
I don't know what you guys are tripping on, but that's not Winnie. Sorry buds.
Win did play with her at one point but got fired...along with Marcus and Ted...
...Ted has had that same shirt all these years lol.
Theres a man across the river his name is johnny flynn i bet it would have been so easy to say that...
She Should Build a boat :)
@angelitab19 i'm a boy and i'm straight, but i know i'm in love with Laura :)
Mmmmhm. And Marcus is on drums :D
Is the boy with short black curly hair Marcus?
& why would she want to put her arms around said boy if she wants to be his peer??
Nope. Pretty sure she's talking about Charlie Fink.
it's at the end of your only doll.
one. person. i dont even... i dont even have anything to say... wtf?
@ivybugg Weird. I find the opposite to be true...and I'm a guy.
FUCK! I can't swim either!
her voice is nicer on the recorded version
oh somebody, already helped you...
It's true, though. She does look a lot like Draco Malfoy.
in a church? WTF
