I drew pictures of you Long before I met you Just a fragment of my mind I had called out for you Almost every night Precious things are hard to find It was just an evening Much like any else When you came into my life It takes one to know one And I saw you there As I had seen you all my life I thank a God I've never met Never loved, never wanted (for you) I write it so I don't forget Never let it get away I wear a picture of you Just to keep you safe Now that I have you I will not forget What a miracle you are No childish expectation Love is not the answer But the line that marks the start I thank a God I've never met Never loved, never wanted (for you) I write it so I don't forget Never let it get away I keep a picture of you Just to keep you safe I thank a God I've never met Never loved, never wanted (for you) I sing so I won't forget Never let it get away I keep a picture of you Just to keep you safe I thank a God I've never met Never loved, never wanted I sing it so I won't forget Never let it get away I keep a picture of you Just to keep you safe
09/10/2020: it's all the same, any one of you would do - so each month i bring a little peace offering, 'For You', a gaggle of songs I've been gathering, a blue offering from your very own Bowerbird - so what if you take and smile, winking at those shivering ghosts in the pit of my eye
talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before
this live version is amazing.
That little smile at the end, along with the performance it self, are just *chef’s kiss*. I still come back to this version two years on.
And if it wasn’t already beautiful enough..... that smile at the end!
Her evolution as an artist continues to impress me.
Her toast to perfect timing is that nod at the end. It feels good when a plan comes together.
She’s the dylan of our time
Beyond mature, beyond talented. Beyond everything.
I love this song so much.
Never expected to hear this such a beautiful version.
Her smile at the end kills me😳
I drew pictures of you
Long before I met you
Just a fragment of my mind
I had called out for you
Almost every night
Precious things are hard to find
It was just an evening
Much like any else
When you came into my life
It takes one to know one
And I saw you there
As I had seen you all my life
I thank a God I've never met
Never loved, never wanted (for you)
I write it so I don't forget
Never let it get away
I wear a picture of you
Just to keep you safe
Now that I have you
I will not forget
What a miracle you are
No childish expectation
Love is not the answer
But the line that marks the start
I thank a God I've never met
Never loved, never wanted (for you)
I write it so I don't forget
Never let it get away
I keep a picture of you
Just to keep you safe
I thank a God I've never met
Never loved, never wanted (for you)
I sing so I won't forget
Never let it get away
I keep a picture of you
Just to keep you safe
I thank a God I've never met
Never loved, never wanted
I sing it so I won't forget
Never let it get away
I keep a picture of you
Just to keep you safe
Laura finding it amusing that an almost throwaway demo that she wrote with her bf is getting the Proms treatment :)
This is beyond beautiful
such lovely lyrics paired with this stripped back performance makes the romanticist in me weep
Best album of 2020
Imagine that; a love so great it turned an atheist into a believer.

Anoushka Shankar's perform will be posted?
Loved it but was hoping she would actually play the guitar she held while singing.
Another beautiful performance from Laura. Check out our channel for live music sessions from Artists similar to Laura.
Spellbinding
This is really reminiscent of Paul McCartney
Laura said she was inspired by Paul when writing this song.
