Marling, Laura - Nothing, Not Nearly Lyrics






I won't forget the late September
Where we danced among the midnight embers
But it's going like a half-remembered dream
Left and north of where we met
Thinking better of going west
Yeah we lost each other in a river stream
I thought I'd come and find you there
Wait until you lost your hair
And got your place out in the woods
You're not afraid of trees or bears
Or anything with tendencies
To wanna hurt you good

The only thing I learnt in a year
Where I didn't smile once, not really
Nothing matters more than love, no
Nothing, no, not nothing no, not nearly

We've not got long, you know
To bask in the afterglow
Once it's gone it's gone

I won't forget the late September
Where we danced among the midnight embers
But it's going like a half-remembered dream
Left and north of where we met
Thinking better of going west
Yeah we lost each other in a river stream

The only thing I learnt in a year
Where I didn't smile once, not really
Nothing matters more than love, no
Nothing, no, not, nothing no, not nearly

We've not got long, you know
To bask in the afterglow
Once it's gone it's gone
Love waits for no one

We've not got long, you know
To bask in the afterglow
Once it's gone it's gone
Love waits for no one

Marling, Laura Nothing, Not Nearly Comments
  1. D.... n....

    The video has changed, or else my Alzheimers is kicking in?

  2. A.... C....

    awesome

  3. C.... ....

    I just have to say thank u for this and the the whole album, is like a friend to me.

  4. �.... �....

    God save You, Laura! Спасибо, Лора!

  5. D.... n....

    This song reminds me of a girl I used to know in Whangarei. Her name was Shazza, and she had a gammy leg, but for a girl with a gammy leg she used to dance better than my dad. He's passed away now. Shazza did have sexual relations with my best friend, Bud, but I forgave her, and I think that is what this song is all about.

  6. C.... d....

    Beautiful song

  7. L.... P....

    a lil Beth Orton sound... Sweet

  8. H.... T....

    she is so underrated i think

  9. A.... ....

    A weak rip off attempt of Blue aint your color

  10. R.... H....

    Who was the designer working on this? Oh my god - Typography/Design porn.

  11. R.... ....

    Perfecta

  12. L.... T....

    This is perfect, omg...

  13. D.... n....

    I'm not inclined to effuse unesessarily, not nearly.

  14. P.... ....

    I love you Laura Marling <3

  15. E.... W....

    The opening of this is almost identical to Bonnie Prince Billy's So Everyone. All my favourite music is merging into one!

  16. C.... ....

    fuck man that guitar's sound is unreal.. some next level shit

  17. l.... ....

    Reminds me a lot of Wild Fire :P

  18. N.... R....

    Lovely dirty guitar sound !

  19. A.... M....

    mmmmmm mmmmmm mmmmm! Perfection!

  20. w.... i....

    thanks BBC6 music. that riff tho

  21. s.... ....

    I already fell in love with the title of the song before hearing it😊

  22. H.... S....

    Laura's new album is so good!!! She is growing and getting better, as if she wasn't perfect already. 😊

  23. s.... c....

    This song reminds me of Jeff Buckley.

    s.... c....

    silvia calonga came here to say that the structure and chords are really similar to my favorite Jeff Buckley song, Lover, You Should’ve Come Over
    Took me two listens to figure out what it reminded me of

  24. b.... ....

    ‘Semper Femina’ is a totally complete, pressing, pushing, full,
    wonderful, powerful, deep and genius album. Laura Marling is an incredible artist. Her work makes me cry with joy.

    b.... ....

    This is a beautiful comment :).

  25. R.... M....

    I'm lost for words right now to express how moving and beautiful your song is. Just stunning and this is the 5th time in a row tonight i'm listening to this song.

  26. E.... S....

    We have known her from Alas and so far for me the best one! She grow older but in our mind she is still our Alas & Cross your fingers!

  27. M.... O....

    Wow. I am so moved. I love this. I bought the whole release on itunes and cannot stop listening.

  28. G.... L....

    Incredible song and excellent album !!!

  29. P.... D....

    at . What a voice. This is the sound of an angel

  30. J.... H....

    The cod-American accent is still cringy. Why do British middle-class artists do this? Inauthentic.

  31. s.... ....

    drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr i could sing better with my ass hole
    and drunk from ten nights of tequila

  32. P.... M....

    Does anyone know what's the meaning of each of those symbols?

  33. N.... ....

    Love you. Please come to Belgium.

  34. l.... s....

    It sounds just like Joni Mitchell's Blue.

    l.... s....

    I always think that Laura is Joni Mitchell of this time ¡the best composers I've heard!

  35. C.... J....

    Probably my favorite off of the new album, so good! Thank you Laura Marling!

  36. M.... S....

    Love you Laura

  37. I.... B....

    the more i listen to the more i fall in love with

  38. C.... ....

    I'm feeling me some Neil Young here.
    You go, Laura.
    I love you.

    C.... ....

    im getting joni mitchell

  39. G.... ....

    I wanna see this performed live I love it so.

  40. l.... ....

    plus its potentially more of a rap verse than sophia and im so down

  41. l.... ....

    love it sooo much

  42. L.... ....

    This is perfect. Perfect.

    L.... ....

    niksur 9

  43. V.... ....

    much love from this listener, Laura

  44. A.... ....

    I wasn't really sold on the first couple of songs from this new album, but with this, Laura's back.

  45. l.... h....

    brilliant

  46. s.... ....

    this sounds nothing like soothing , im angry

  47. K.... G....

    Her voice is little melted chocolate 😍

    K.... G....

    I love that sentence. 😊

    K.... G....

    It leaves a stain on your trousers?

  48. J.... A....

    Damn, Laura just keeps knocking it out of the park with each new release. Bravo Laura!

  49. M.... L....

    New here!! really liked her, cute song :3

  50. g.... g....

    internets zaniest music nerd

  51. M.... K....

    when I heard the birds chirping at the end, I was transported to 17 year old me, hearing Alas, I Cannot Swim for the first time in my bedroom <3

    M.... K....

    Yes, exactly. amazing

  52. M.... L....

    does anyone get that kinda vibe that Laura Marling got a little too stoned while writing songs from her latest album?

  53. D.... A....

    amazing

  54. P.... ....

    sick solo..

  55. P.... S....

    A re-edition of Your Only Doll (Dora) right after the birds chirping at the end of this track would be so awesome!

  56. b.... ....

    So AMAZING <3 So excited for the new album!!

  57. M.... A....

    love her music

  58. M.... ....

    Laura,you are one of a kind....
    This and all the others you Released recently are phenomenal,it's just everything i hear from you musically(not just your voice)the whole aspects of how you done all the albums,tracks are Gold.
    New chapter,New prosprective of how you see yourself,your life and all the things that you stand for.
    just one problem:way too much songs before the listener hears the whole album.

  59. R.... G....

    Every song from the forthcoming album just sounds better & better, can't wait for the release of Semper Femina. I wondered how she could follow up the brilliant Short Movie album but needed have worried, the beautiful singing & instruments used sound absolutely wonderfu.l

  60. M.... M....

    Excellent, raw and beautiful sonic production.

  61. J.... W....

    Hey guys, I wrote a song about Laura a few years ago called Goddess and I just recently filmed a music video for it. I'd love it if you guys checked it out on my channel and gave some feedback!

  62. E.... B....

    hope..! :/

  63. J.... M....

    This is incredible. Love all the songs I've heard off the new album. Seriously going to be a great album, perhaps her best yet?

    J.... M....

    Agreed I think Eagle was better, Short Movie was still good though

    J.... M....

    the Director's Cut is excellent if you haven't had a chance to hear it.

    J.... M....

    Honestly I love them all and generally the one I'm listening to is my favourite...

    J.... M....

    I think alas I cannot swim is her best (or at least my favorite) but they're all amazing in their own way

    J.... M....

    Zachary Wagman I love that album too it's great from start to finish backed into a corner I would call that my favourite, I enjoy listening to the others to try to learn them as well as I know alas

  64. M.... H....

    brilliant! thank you, Laura! :*

  65. H.... ....

    Love it, can't wait for the new album <3

  66. B.... H....

    😍😍

  67. K.... K....

    I adore every tune of you <3 and this crazy violin:)
