| Bat for Lashes – Laura Lyrics | 10 years ago |

From a Pitchfork article: 'The fact that Khan and Parker completed the song in just two hours is even more remarkable considering what went on the night prior to their session. "My housemate and I had had an extremely debauched house party, like nothing I'd ever experienced before-- it was so bad!" Khan hoots through her laughter. "It ended up with seven people in the shower, Black Sabbath, dancing on the table. The next day, I had the biggest hangover ever, and I had to go and write this song."' Laura might be Khan or maybe someone else specific or perhaps a generic stand-in for "hungover party guest." It's got some biting imagery and a beautiful, minimalist arrangement. Fantastic song. |
