Watch Laura Marling Play a New Song

Via TwentyFourBit, Laura Marling recently debuted a song from her forthcoming album, Flicker and Fail, in a live performance at the BBC 2 Radio Folk awards.

The song is actually a reworking of a piece written by her father about 30 years ago. On Marling’s site, she explains the song “in its current form.”

We say ‘in its current’ form because the foundations of this song were in fact laid down via a battered old (but still surviving!) Yamaha guitar over 30 years ago by LM’s own father. LM has revived and tinkered with the lyrics and melody somewhat and shaped it into something old but new.
