about

Written in a daze the day after Laura’s grandmother Constance died last May, ‘Undone’’s monster guitars deliver palpable rage at the bad things that happen to good people, the song acting as an openhearted rallying cry against the British stiff upper lip brigade. “We need to give ourselves a break”, she says. “Giving ourselves time to feel devastated doesn’t make us weak.” ‘I was told I feel too much’, she sang on 2016’s “Paper Thin” (featuring guest vocals by Belly’s Tanya Donelly), but with age, experience and the bitter state of the world comes conformation empathy should be treasured as a rare strength.

lyrics

Drinking morning coffee late, today I’m in a dream
All the colours shifted imperceptibly
Happy for a moment then dark thoughts slide in-between

Cos I’m not okay, okay I’m not - no
I’m not okay, no I’m not

You say life goes on
But I’ve come undone
Some days I just really miss someone

Mental mausoleum - I display my memories
Light another candle for a friend at sea
Tell me these good people don’t deserve life’s cruelty

Cos it’s not okay, okay it’s not - no
It’s not okay, no it’s not

You say life goes on
But I’ve come undone
Some days I just really miss someone

You say life goes on
But I’ve come undone
Some days I just really miss someone
Someone
Someone
