Laura Marling - New Song "David" LIVE first public performance - Chicago 5/23/2013

Just saw Laura again 7/29/15 in Chicago and she said she wrote “David” in the basement of this theater waiting for show time, this really is the first performance.
Here are the lyrics, if I made a mistake please comment and I will update.
I look west and I believe, he looks east and thinks of me.
I look west and I believe, there's the sky that David breathes..
ah ooow ah ooow
David won't see me no more, I open gates that close doors.
So just to know he lives and breaths, will have to be enough for me.
ah ooow ah ooow
ah oooooow ooow
There's an angel walking earth, one of a kind amongst all this dirt.
David means the world to me, the world that told me it will never be.
ah ooooow mmmmm
ooow ah ooow
I sat down and I swallowed my pride, I asked him not to leave my life.
With a tear in my eye and a lump in my throat, I read David's final note.
mmmmm
Good bye, be well, I'll think of you, till the sun turns black and the stars go blue
ah oooow
So I look west and I must believe, he looks east and thinks of me.
I look west and I believe, there's the sky that David breaths.
I think this is a sad song, or is it?
Song debuted at Athenaeum Theatre, Chicago, May 23 2013.

endless tallent, so beautifull. Most important artist of our generation!!! A gift from the heavens...........i could go on praising for days lol

[@LouisNormanGuitar]

That's the problem with Laura Marling - two days after her fourth album is released, and I'm already stupidly excited for her fifth! Why must you do this to us!?

[@thetypetwolife3602]

I'm speechless. 4 albums, every single song a work of art. But what's even more amazing, she has songs she just plays whenever, songs that are not even on any of her albums, and they are even more amazing. So being someone who has seen her 3 times and knows all her work. I thought, what's this? This must not be a very good one cause I've never heard it. Wrong! Pure Talent. She will be at the Doug Fir in Portland OR in two days. Hopefully me and my lovely woman can go. She loves her too

[@Alexandraisonfire]

Strange comments on here lol. This song is beautifully honest, simple and pure. This woman can do no wrong.

[@danielpkrause]

I hear this song and I think of my past relationships. I wish them well and I thank them for being a part of my life.

[@bonvivant55]

david didn't know what he had

[@carodh]

So simple. So beautiful. Thanks for sharing :)

[@deadlaika9966]

part of the melody sounds like was based on all i really want to do by Dylan

[@thetypetwolife3602]

So because no one (next to my own personal family) gets it, at all. I think it would be best if all us Laura fans moved to our own Island. It would be the greatest society in history.

[@SuperBudakai]

Second line "there's the sky that David breathes"

[@marklong8193]

Laura - unbelievable! Better than eagle! Please release this new material soon. You are an angel and I. Hope you are as happy as you make us feel!

[@LouisNormanGuitar]

CGCCGC - it's the same for all her new songs :)

[@theastrover55]

The way she is tuning her guitar is totally infamiliar to me and unfortunately i am losing her halfway.
Anyone can tell..?
The song is beautiful that is for sure.

[@DLashbrooke]

This sounds like one of the most beautiful songs I've heard her sing so far.. and assuming she wrote this after finishing off her last album... must be a sign that she really is just going up and up and up.... :-)

[@the1stmikec]

Thanks Justin, I updated the lyrics.

[@notrejeunessedoree]

has anyone tabbed this yet? my guitar is tuned to cgccgc at the moment and i refuse to change it before learning this

[@lyrilljackson]

it's called being the only one on earth who can rival Overwerk musically

[@straightrippnable706]

I don't think she's looking at anything
I think she sees her calling

[@Headshrinker39]

I've always wondered what is she looking at while she sings..

[@straightrippnable706]

IF YOU DON'T DROP THE POO, THE POO DROPS YOU!!!

[@CacaCruz]

This is the most personal song she has ever done.

[@AbiMac88]

Oh my lord... So beautiful. Heartbreaking. She is my hero.

[@DLashbrooke]

OK. You don't like the song... big deal.

[@theastrover55]

That bass line is not on my guitar...

[@sharonsheehy3128]
