Laura Marling - Blackberry Stone (demo)
I’d be sad that I never held your hand as you were lowered, but I’d understand that I’d never let it go
I’ve been a LM fan for a few years now, but I haven’t stopped playing this track since it hit the web. The reference to Noah and the Whale’s ‘Hold my hand as I’m lowered’ is poignant; Marling sings about the demise of the relationship like the death of a friend. I love the album version, but for me, the demo is beautiful. I saw her play live in York in 2010 and she was everything I hoped she would be.

So I’ve been in bed with flu since Boxing Day and daily photos didn’t happen. And now the project is over. I’m glad I did it, it’s nice to be able to look back and remember every day of the year: it’s so weird to think of Polly moving in for a while, finding out I’d got into Leeds, moving out, my nephew being born…all this year.
It’s not a very cohesive collection and the quality of my camera really stressed me out by the end. Thanks to the people who’ve followed me over the year, I’ve had some really nice messages. If you’re interested, I’m doing a 365 songs starting tomorrow HERE
