New Good Song: Laura by Bat for Lashes

Here's a new good song -- "Laura" by Bat for Lashes

This is such a pretty song, except for the second half of the chorus: "Laura / You're more than a superstar." The melody goes off the hinges here, and the sentiment is dumb. It's so bad it almost makes this song not good. But the remaining 96% is just beautiful. Great piano, cello, nice singing, very quiet, well-produced, and just lovely.

Bat for Lashes had another good song a few years ago, "Daniel." Are Laura and Daniel friends? Exes? Enemies? Who's to say. But they both live on in good songs -- very different-sounding songs, I might add. "Laura" has a nearly Sarah McLachlan quality, while "Daniel" sounds a bit New Wave.

Enjoy.
