    My wife Laura died September from a 6 week battle with cancer. She was 36 and left behind myself and two beautiful children. She was more than a superstar x

      Dear Ollie, May you keep Laura's memories alive for you and your children, as hard as it is she was your superstar. I cannot even begin to imagine what you have lost but I hope you are keeping as strong as able, nevertheless people are here for you and please reach out when you feel down. I hate September as I lost someone then too and if you ever need to speak your emotions when you feel you can't to those close to you, I will happily be the person you can voice any and all feelings to if needed. wishing you the best and hope you are ok

      I hadn't started watching Wentworth until recently but when I got to that scene at the end of season 4 and then at the beginning of season 5 I lost my mind I didn't cry but I came close be with such an incredible character and she went through hell but still made it out stronger than anyone ever would have been able to and when she finally finds happiness she feels that that person has been taken away from her and she ends up going to get herself killed to destroy the person who took away the one person she really loved besides her daughter only for that person to end up being alive and having to go on without her but that shows how much love bea Smith had for Allie

    I love this song so much! Although my best friend and big sister was named Laura. She passed of cancer when I was a teenager. Our mother and I by her side, until she breathed her last breath.. Listening to this song is like talking about her and her death. Some days I can listen/speak and smile. Other days it's a good way to make myself weep. Beautiful song though! And she was a beautiful person. Laura you're more than a super star. ❤️❤️❤️

      In 2007 I had just suffered a bad breakup and "Don't worry, be happy!" by Bobby McFerrin came on the radio. It was the first time I'd ever heard that song. It made me cry with how ridiculous the situation was and the irony that this song of all songs played. But afterwards, its message stayed with me and I like to think that was the turning point where I started to get over things. Just proves the power music has over us all.

    • @iamjoyandlove591
      @iamjoyandlove591 7 років тому +13

      Well, I think that "Laura" is Natasha and actually everbody of us.
      "When your smile is so wide and your heels are so high, you can´t cry..." It means that she can´t show her real emotions in public life. As how each of us, when we are sad, unhappy or when we have melancholic mood, we can´t just seat and cry. Sometimes we have to pretend we are happy and everything is OK.
      And if you saw some Bat for lashes´s interviews, you could see how she´s smiling all the time. She looks so happy and optimistic. But her song prove us, that she is sad sometimes. But she just can´t show it.
      And also I think, that this song is about love, which is destroying us and we know it. "You're the train that crashed my heart
      you're the glitter in the dark..."
      But we also know, that we need it, because it´s the only think, which can save us. It´s our glitter in the dark and it gives us a hope...

So damn talented and she should be right up there with the very best and she shouldn't be so underrated. She deserves much more musical attention. I first heard of her years ago and i became hooked immediately. I love her strong and clear, slightly smoky and husky voice. I love all her vocals and her sometimes dark musical vocals/sounds. Thank you for sharing and sending peace, light and positivity to all.

  • @una877

    I just saw 'The Glass Menagerie' by Tennesse Williams and I could swear that this song was written about the play's tragic character, also called Laura, who was scorned by the world, spends all her time withdrawn from other people. She has been 'left behind' and lives in her own ethereal world, 'a pale blue dream', frequently being referred to as 'Blue Roses'. In the play she's 'the last unicorn' in a world of horses and only her beloved brother recognises her as such. This song sounds like it's being told from his perspective, conveying all his sadness for Laura's insular and enigmatic ways. I was disbelief to find that this wasn't in fact Natasha's inspiration for this song. Both pieces of art make me cry lol.

    We drove north to a place we'd never been
    The full moon ahead over the golden hill
    The sun setting behind like we'd never seen
    Not knowing how life, for us, would charge bill
    we changed our paths in a moment of time
    A rush that would steal more than just hours
    With the crisp moon shinning that sun ray fine
    As we stood then walked on Capricorn's line
    I realised then as you played me this song
    It was her heart in tune with ours
    And in mine beating where you belong
    Somehow you knew, 6 years, id be wrong...
    Im there again with the sound of her
    Calling moon and moon
    to help me here
    But the echo fades and no ones there,
    And no ones there, for my pain to bare.
    Lets get on our knees and with me pray
    "Oooh Laura" we're here, and with you we'll stay
    Coz its just for our memories
    that lets us live through the days.
    Oh how i wish sometimes we could go north again
    Further this time than we've ever been
    but that golden moon has another plan
    For this joy fool hearted simple man...

    ..... I am not transgender or anything but I have severe bipolar depression and anxiety and this song means everything to me. I play it thru my panic attacks or crying moments... and I’m good by the end man. God bless all.this song could mean anything to anyone. That’s what’s so beautiful....
