Just a quick post today. Yesterday, I finally got round to buying Laura Marling's first album, Alas, I Cannot Swim. As expected, it's a beautiful listen, full of charm and sung with a voice that is so pure and adored by many.
Strangely, one of the best things about the album came right at the end. Hidden at the end of 'Your Only Doll (Dora)' is title track 'Alas, I Cannot Swim.' To sum it up in one word, it's a gem. Although said to be connected to depression, and her possible battle with, the track itself has a feeling of joy. Simplistic and chilled, it brings the album to a perfect end, rounding off a collection of her finest work. If you've got the album, make sure you listen to the very end so you don't miss it.
