Laurell's Song

Donny

The strings of our pasts and our future paths are snapping one by one
And we’re merging and blurring and smudging the good lines that we need to get along 
And I came a long way to get here – I haven’t had myself very long;
When I laid my head on your shoulder I didn’t mean that the rest was gone

I can’t find the start of you baby or where I’m beginning at all
I write it down to push you out – let me sing alone.
But I am in a room full of people and I’m not excited at all
And I am listening to beautiful music and I'm not inspired no

She sings songs the things she sings about leave me longing for things I used to think about
Up on stage, what’s all this about? Why did you write it and how do you feel when you’re down?

My words get tangled in the chords of you 
And poems never come like they used to do
They been slipping out and falling on their bums
Slipping out and falling on their bums

People that are taking shape won’t you share your secrets with me?
Form-finders and grow-tallers give me some of that drink ‘cos
I think I'm crazy secretly and I f you think so too then so it might as well be


Donny

We watched the sun, setting in pink and grey over London
Far away from the place where you come from,
The beach, your bare feet and your father gone.

You speak so true: furrow your brow and wrestle with each view,
Struggle always to be new
Throw away the doubt in you!

I know that you can’t sleep –
You’re up all night becoming
Sit up and talk to me
Tell me what you’re becoming

Mother she knew, and women will always try to protect you
And their daughters do it too;
These knots are so hard to undo

I know that you can’t rest for the beating in you chest
There’s so much work to do, so let me share it with you

‘Cos when you speak
I hear those waves crashing down on that beach
See you nine years old in Appledore, 
Or twenty-nine and far from that shore



I can’t be your friend, I’ve fallen for you already,
From down here there’s no way up
No way up only through – follow the logic that took me away from you.
I wake in the morning and the things I see at night
Bore at me and yell from the other side 
I do without it ‘cos I made up my mind.
I’m changing all the time.

But you say that you care about me
And if I do not accept I must be crazy
And that you know about love and all you’re offering me

I can’t make amends; I let myself off too easily
Down and into the shade I run
No signs just memories, no knowledge just futures haunting me
So hammer in a nail and hang me on that hook
Make me talk and force me to look
He never asked me to tie up my tongue
So let it be undone


The Other Side

Hejira Again

I have listened to Hejira and it rings all my alarms
This morning, in your arms.
She sings us a song of experience and harm:
A warning, in your arms

I am turning over, unsure what to say
I am tired of the sight of your blank face
Half of me gives up and half of me stays…
I love this, don’t let me drift too far away

Ooh tell me about Love
Ooh tell me all about your girl
Tell me what this is and how it feels in my arms
I cannot tell our curses from our charms.

Open all the windows; let me breathe the air, 
Open your eyes let me see how you’re moving in there
Let me swim there now!
Have me undress me,
You do this but you do not speak to me.

‘Dusk-lit songs, strong and tender and sung in a voice that curls darkly at the edges in a way that’ll entice fans of Joanna Newsom and Regina Spektor'
Time Out Magazine

“Ellie is a rare and totally individual talent... Her music straddles folk, pop and classical and cannot be easily pigeonholed into any genre. In a favourite song of mine, 'Hejira Again', she responds to Joni Mitchell's 1976 album and reveals a humility and awareness of the rich heritage of female singer-songwriters into which she has stepped. " - Sam Lee, Singer and Promoter, The Nest Collective

“Some of the most honest music you are ever likely to hear in the capital... This particular singer’s vocals are just as resolute and unwavering as they are beautiful. A chocolate smooth tone flows over melodies that sound as if they were composed in the name of nothing other than a love of the craft behind them.” - About Time Magazine

'Ellie has an incredibly distinctive voice, which manages to be heart-achingly beautiful, poignantly vulnerable yet full of resolve. Her deeply personal songwriting reveals a humility and honesty which only captivate her audiences further.' 
Theo Bard, Woodburner
