I listened to this song by Laura Marling called "New Romantic" and even though the melody on this song is quite simple - what I mean is that the chords she plays on her guitar are repetitive - yet, when she mixes in her voice the melody becomes quite pleasing.
The video itself seems simple at first - a gal sitting in a stark room with just her guitar, but then I noticed the shadows making patterns & words behind, below and above her illustrating her lyrics. Listening to the lyrics I found that she's quite a storyteller and I felt myself drawn to what she was saying. "Maybe I should give in, give up trying to be thin, give up and turn into my mother, god knows I love her."
So I find myself now intrigued and wanting to hear what else she has written because I find that her music & lyrics are enhanced by her vocal ability. She's another example of a someone that I find intriguing. And what I find most pleasing about her is the tone of her voice.
It makes one wonder - if her words & melody were sung by someone else would they be as lyrical and pleasing to the ear?
