Top Ten Songs 2012
8. Laura - Bat for Lashes. Natasha Khan’s voice is kind of broken throughout this song, it’s a stripped piece, naked, like the cover of The Haunted Man. She can sing, she doesn’t have to act like it. She’s beautiful, she doesn’t have to act like it.
The lyrics, oh my: You’re the train that crashed my heart. You’re the glitter in the dark. Ooh Laura, you’re more than a superstar.
You’re the train that crashed my heart? WOW. Spectacular.
After listening to this song, you just wonder who Laura is, do we know her? Can we help her? Should we? It remains a character that you keep thinking about, she’s lost and it’s good for us because it served the purpose of a great story being brought to us by Khan, an other-wordly girl.
