Highly recommended is 'Captain for Dark Mornings' (1969) by the Bronx child prodigy and genius singer/songwriter Laura Nyro. Nyro is the most influential female musician of the last 50 years, influencing generations of artists such as Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush, Elton John, Steely Dan, Prince, etc. See youtube Nyro raves by Elton John, Todd Rundgren, Alice Cooper, Sara Barellies. Nyro was inducted into the Rock Hall of fame in 2012. She passed in 1997 from ovarian cancer aged 49. Her recordings span 1966 to 2001.
Well, you gotta consider, if you've been listening to music all morning there's a big chance of your dog doing that. Still, got your message. Awesome song.
Yes! So true. Also the tick tick tick part. Translates well to metal or even punk. I could see the Dropkick Murphy's or Mastodon or maybe Yeah Yeah Yeahs covering it.
@luckatejac i agree, but i wouldn't say "one of the most talented female artists of our time" id say she is probably one of the most talented artists of all time.
i dont know why i love laura's music so much. i think its because its original and her vioce is calming but always makes me smile and at times i always get lost in her songs.
Can I PLZ have some explanation from anybody about the meaning of the lyrics? This song is great, the lyrics are great, but I still cant fully understand the meaning. It is surely about dissapointment in christianity, time ticking away, a captain going away from some place for 'some kind of fight' (because of time ticking away?) I thought 'I fell into the water, and now I;m free' Was maybe reffering to: Alas I can not swim (the river that is dangerous but that will bring her to her true self)
@flopsy1997xfactor same, i love people like Laura marling and mumford ans sons and no one gets it :3 just my friends like hatsune miku and other vocaloids(i have no idea how to spell it)
@Tylaaahh Can't blame her... he has minge-style-hair on his head ¬.' Besides, if she didn't like him then that's her opinion and her choice. ... More to the matter, who the hell is Charlie Fink?
I think it's nicer that she's not as famous (sound like a hipster here) because there is a nice group of us that know and lover her/her music, and I think that's more special than it become incredibly popular.
This is my favorite song from Marling. Her voice is flawless and the lyrics are amazing.
"well i sold my soul to jesus and since then i've had no fun" - best line.
I Iadore Laura Marling - love from NZ
Her voice is amazing.. Having goosebumps for the past ten minutes that I've been listening to her cold beautiful voice...
The way a total stranger can sum up an overcomplicated relationship in 4 minutes is astounding.
- "Well, I sold my soul to Jesus and since then I've had no fun" -
How can someone so young, write so brilliantly?!
This has to be one of my favourites of hers, along with Alas I Cannot Swim. She has such a beautiful voice.
I fell in love with it yesterday. It almost makes me cry. It's perfect.
This song is just wonderful. I must buy Laura Marling's songs at the next possible opportunity!

What is the use of more than something incredible to look at and admire for the simple fact of existence it's self to wander all through your life so true
The passage of time takes us to places we only ever dreamed of and within the journey is a secret of life's passion showing us diversity in everything we see or do
A chance to change our narrow minds into a clear vision of which there is no obstruction to truly feel the Earth beating it's heart inside pursuing the Colour of what Hue.
her voice makes me warm inside, beautiful song
Still adore this song!
Such mature music and sound for such a young artist...
The best song of her ever
replay replay replay ... going to be here all night at this rate!
What a delicius surprise, Laura is awesome!!!
this song is so underrated it kills me. So is Laura Marling in general, but she could be really famous and she'd still be underrated.
I just love this song so much...
This is freakin' awesome - heard it for the first time today, flashforward 4 hours later, think I played it 20 times
Do you still love this song, 12 years later?

She has a fabulous singing style. Get it up yet Japan.

Nice piece of music!
special song.
i never really understood this song wen i first heard it but wen i read the lyrics it all made sense
Am I the only one who thinks of the title reminding you of 'a man of authority' and 'a woman with an hourglass figure'?
If I could see this song, it would look more than just pretty.
No problem! and its my favourite, too :D
@flopsy1997xfactor i am the exact same no one gets that this is the music that no one forgets when they hear it!
thank god it's back.
What a talent :)
i agree, it should be. & now it is.
I'm not sure why but I really love this particular song (and that's coming from a death metal fan)
Because it's good and genres are artificial barriers to enjoying good music.
Yes! So true. Also the tick tick tick part. Translates well to metal or even punk. I could see the Dropkick Murphy's or Mastodon or maybe Yeah Yeah Yeahs covering it.
@luckatejac i agree, but i wouldn't say "one of the most talented female artists of our time" id say she is probably one of the most talented artists of all time.
she really does [:
i dont know why i love laura's music so much. i think its because its original and her vioce is calming but always makes me smile and at times i always get lost in her songs.
The beginning sounds like the tardis from doctor who hahaha
Anyways, love this song!
yo sir speak me heart
Can I PLZ have some explanation from anybody about the meaning of the lyrics?

I concur :)
No problem! :)
Yes she is ^_^
favourite marling song apart from blackberry stone
I understand
I love you.
@Catastr0phicM1nd
She does have a lisp which is abundantly apparent on this track, especially at 1min08secs-1min10secs...great tune though :)
Okay :)
[Lyrics from a lyrics site, so please don't tell me they're wrong]
You read the description, right? :|
anyone know the stumming pattern for this song??
i love her ^_^
You're welcome! :)
@flopsy1997xfactor
same,
i love people like Laura marling and mumford ans sons
and no one gets it :3
just my friends like hatsune miku and other vocaloids(i have no idea how to spell it)
This & Mumford and sons is real music compared to all the other rubbish out there.
That's part of the song. It's a ship.
Upload this dance when you do it :D
@tonysodza1 in you?
i think the noises at the start sound like the tardis.......
she looks so hot there
Okay :| I'll change them.
it kills me to know that a dog has more taste than some people i know... not you off course
@avonan I just ate a grape...
@Tylaaahh Can't blame her... he has minge-style-hair on his head ¬.' Besides, if she didn't like him then that's her opinion and her choice. ... More to the matter, who the hell is Charlie Fink?
@tonysodza1 ehhhhhhhhhhh lmao
