You do know of course that it is derived from paedophilic Pathan poem and the original intro line is "there is a boy across the river with a bottom like a peach, but alas I cannot swim"
I remember the videos where Laura couldn't like at the audience in cafe shows and whatnot... Long since removed from CZcams. She is still remarkable in every sense of the word😊
@DKukiewicz I would't think so, because you have brought the album and so you are not taking anything you haven't already paid for, and you're right, this is fantastic!
there is , this is part of a dvd , a exclusive dvd of this gig along with a tour diary that came along with either i speak because i can or alas i cannot swim ( not sure sorry)
The lyrics are VERY simular to an old Pathan love song called the Zahkmi Dil (The Wounded Heart) the chorus of which goes "There's a boy across the river with a bottom like a peach, but alas I cannot swim".....Coincidence? I think not..... too funny.
Yes, yes he is, he used to play a lot with her. Also, I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the bass and the banjo are Winston Marshall and Ted Dwane from Mumford & Sons.
There would be no Mumford & Sons w/o Laura Marling. They were originally her backing band. She was engaged to Marcus Mumford and when they broke up the boys ditched and made it big in America. She is an amazing talent.
She's gorgeousl. Greetings to one and all from Jarrahnut in wonderful Western Australia. Thank you LadyPetraForsythe. You sound most regal ... are you the Queen's cousin ... or something like that?
How could one possibly stay seated during the second half of this amazing performance?? I'd be up dancing.
This song completely does it for me.

@@DJNaija oh Thanks.. so what should I do now ? If i cannot swim ..
A warning sign I believe you are required to burn something or denounce Lara on twitter using the appropriate #
this is so much better live than recorded!
Most bands can’t do this
Brilliant! I can’t stop listening to this song.
She's incredible.
She's incredible
She speaks my truth and i can do naught but love her for saying it
This is Great. Legends.
This is the best version of this song. I like this performance better than the recorded one. I love this version so much!
Blossoms live truly
Most pop artists can’t sing like this if they trained for 20 years
I'd love to listen to Laura singing up-tempo numbers more often!
she makes perfection look so effortless!
Still, I’m watching this
I LOVE her voice >_
1st time listenening to her...nice...a little joanny in her....thanks for uploading
Definitely!!
I remember the videos where Laura couldn't like at the audience in cafe shows and whatnot... Long since removed from CZcams. She is still remarkable in every sense of the word😊
I couldnt agree more!!!
I dont know if this is perfect cause of her, or cause of them.. in any case this is pure awesomenessss!!!
@bioneek
this song is a hidden track on Alas, I Cannot Swim,
it's about a minute or so after "Your Only Doll (Dora)"
Almost 5 years and only 150,000~ views. Not enough recognition that her talent deserves.
ThePuckYu Look now they are nine years
Oh man, it must have been SO much fun to be there... *sigh* sometimes I wish I didn't live in America.
sometimes!!!
God I love Laura Marling, especially when she plays with Mumford.
this was at st pauls in london i was there :D
you're gold dear Laura
this is amazing
I think I just found the most amazing music video on youtube.
simply great music
She's awesome in her own right, but when half of Mumford & Sons is playing with her, it gets ten times better.
ja
I really really wanna cover this song. Its so simple, yet its so difficult to sing like her....
She has so much talent. I love her so much.
This video is perfect! Laura and her music are masterpieces🖤
Marcus, Ted, and Winston!!
I agree! Love her voice -3
Oh man, as soon as Marcus joined in (singing) I was in heaven. As if it wasn't amazing enough :D
It's a hidden song, it comes after "Your Only Doll (Dora)"
Thanks for the upload. Love you for this ♥
she has on the same top that in the mystery jets video.
i fucking love her.
this son speaks to my soul, i want it tattooed on me
Great video, she's so good! It's not fair
Thanks for posting
I love Laura. She's my lady crush.
love it:)
Her smile makes me smile too :)
TED, MARCUS AND WIN!!
Erin Golden If by win you mean Winston, that's not Winston. If you just mean like WINNING then yes i agree :D
this is incredibly good and entertaining performance!!! i wish was there ;/
i love her hair, it suits perfectly to her face. anyway, fantastic song
it's like bonus track after Your only doll. (Just keep listening after the song + forest sounds.)
:)
why isn't there a dvd of this awesomeness?
wow..
@DKukiewicz I would't think so, because you have brought the album and so you are not taking anything you haven't already paid for, and you're right, this is fantastic!
is that mumford and sons with her here,... too cool nice song
love that the highest rated comments are both expressing a man-crush or girl-crush
have to agree completely
just so amazing. what else is there to say?
Perfect
there is , this is part of a dvd , a exclusive dvd of this gig along with a tour diary that came along with either i speak because i can or alas i cannot swim ( not sure sorry)
I almost burst into applause with the audience at 2:04
I want that t-shirt. If I can't find one, I will actually just go mental :)
i'm a girl and i'm straight, but i think i'm in love with Laura :)
@crazylizer27 Yes, it was a bonus track that came on after Your Only Doll I believe.
Could never work out why this was tucked away on her debut album!
The "reproduced" T-shirt she wore in the Mystery Jets video
Where is this? I love Laura she's amazing!
I love Marcus. He's my man crush.
I really wanna learn this song even if I don't know how to play guitar
The lyrics are VERY simular to an old Pathan love song called the Zahkmi Dil (The Wounded Heart) the chorus of which goes "There's a boy across the river with a bottom like a peach, but alas I cannot swim".....Coincidence? I think not.....
too funny.
Is that Marcus Mumford?
Yes, yes he is, he used to play a lot with her. Also, I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the bass and the banjo are Winston Marshall and Ted Dwane from Mumford & Sons.
they used to be together..

The river could drown me under
its ted dwane and marcus mumford from mumford & sons in the background
Is it the mumford sons backing this one?
love how the two top comments are from the same user :D
@seaforthpiper I think it was based on that actually... I read this comparison somewhere else.
@Lafayettebluesman you and me both.
TED!
@Bevandao hey, by the time you get a voice like hers you go right ahead and use it in whatever way you like, k?
@damiensongs you do mean Joni Mitchell correct? I thought so as well
Theres a man across the river his name is johnny flynn i bet it would have been so easy to say that...
I love this song...what album is this song on?
She Should Build a boat :)
"Work more, earn more, live more, have more fun!!" -good life motto
...Ted has had that same shirt all these years lol.
@angelitab19 i'm a boy and i'm straight, but i know i'm in love with Laura :)
it's at the end of your only doll.
sooo nice :). Where is this recorded? Is it a church in Goteborg?
Nick Cave on the violin? : P
@DISASTARCAKE123 ...is there a recorded version?
Where is this place? Is it the same venue where Mumford and Sons did their Little Lion Boy video clip?
Is the guy playing the bass from Mumford and Sons?
Who's the violinist?
Where winnie?
Why was I not sent an invitation?
Mmmmhm. And Marcus is on drums :D
I don't know what you guys are tripping on, but that's not Winnie. Sorry buds.
Win did play with her at one point but got fired...along with Marcus and Ted...
@ivybugg Weird. I find the opposite to be true...and I'm a guy.
FUCK! I can't swim either!
one. person. i dont even... i dont even have anything to say... wtf?
oh somebody, already helped you...
her voice is nicer on the recorded version
Is the boy with short black curly hair Marcus?
& why would she want to put her arms around said boy if she wants to be his peer??
Nope. Pretty sure she's talking about Charlie Fink.
It's true, though. She does look a lot like Draco Malfoy.
in a church? WTF
