ABOUT THIS EPISODE

When it was announced earlier this year Laura Marling would be playing at the Forum Theatre in support of her third album "A Creature I Don't Know", the opportunity to juxtapose this much loved english folk singer with the grit and rawness of an iconic Melbourne lane way was something we were suitably excited about.

Home to both a top end spanish restaurant and health centre for the homeless, Hosier lane is arguably Melbourne's most famous lane way. Once adorned with a Bansky rat, this iconic bluestone lane is an ever changing gallery of sophisticated street art. Being hospitable tour guides, we met Laura at the Forum stage door; just a short walk through the lane way to our shoot location.

"With a mind so dark and skin so white" as she proclaims on album track "All My Rage", this dusky voiced ghostly songstress is well known for the lyrical wisdom beyond her years. Since releasing two Mercury Prize nominated albums, her third takes up a independent writing phase, following a more collaborative past. While private and soft-spoken, Laura is jovial, self assured and a real pleasure to meet in person.

As the crew lock in camera angles and complete the usual sound checks, Laura begins to treat us to a medley of two songs from this latest release, in a setting often lyrically fitting. Perched on milk crate with a borrowed acoustic guitar in hand, Laura's poetic brilliance is a pleasure to listen to as she effortlessly performs Don't Ask Me Why and the John Steinbeck inspired Salinas.

There's something altogether pure about the experience. Ignoring the ambient distractions (this time a plane bypass and delivery van beep), Laura holds the Sideshow Alley crew captivated as she gracefully meanders her way through a story of love and loss and calls to the heavens. Seemingly a very angelic moment indeed.

...MAGNIFICENT......DON'T ASK ME WHY...I choose to stay far awayFrom the ones that thinkMoney is money to shareDon't ask me whyAnd I'll tell you no liesSonny don't come here no moreHe don't drink from this wellO he's done with the worldAnd done with the girlAnd I don't ask him whyAnd he tells me no liesThose of us who are lost and lowI know how you feelI know it's not right but it's realBut it's real.I don't ask for loveAnd I don't beg for moneyI'm just asking for grace and forgivenessNow honey don't ask me whyAnd I'll tell you no lies.Been looking for answersIn unsavoury placesOn the highest of mountainsAnd on the lowest of basesAnd I still don't know whyI still don't know why.Those of us who are lost and lowWe know how you feelWe know it's not right but it's realBut it's real.I took the wind from the seaI took the blood from an arrowI took the wisdom of springAnd I was thrown and blown and tossed and turned untilTime found its hand and called an endMe and time we go way back whenI was a childAnd I always knew why.I knew my nameI knew my roadAnd I stayed away from heavy loadsI'm still, I'm lowO lord am I lowThose of us who are lost and lowWe know how you feelWe know it's not right but it's realBut it's real....SALINAS...I am from SalinasWhere the women go foreverAnd they never ever stop to ask whyMy mother was a saviourOf six foot of bad behaviourLong blonde curly hair down to her thighO my motherO my friendsAsk the angelsWill I ever see heaven again?Late into the eveningThey would take each other screamingLooking darkly to the back of her eyesA careless beast was bleatingThat the air behind was breathingThat they musn't ever look up to the skyThere no answersThere are foundAsk the angelsAm I heaven bound?Mmmm put it down to meI, who speak awkwardlyAny word if it is heard is not intended to beNot for him, not for herand not for them and not for meO and that gun will turnbefore the sun starts to burnUnderstandMmmm when the clouds roll inAnd we start paying for our sinsWith a gun in my handAnd my son at my shoulderBelieve I will runBefore that boy gets olderO when that gun will turnBefor the sun starts to burnUnderstandO when that gun will turnBefore the sun starts to burnUnderstandI am from SalinasWhere the women go foreverAnd they never ever stop to ask whyMy mother she's a saviourOf six foot of bad behaviourLong blonde curly hair down to her thighO my motherO My friendsAsk the angelsWill I ever see heaven again?Will I ever see heaven again?Will I ever see heaven again?Punish them all for they speak too muchHate the world what it did to usWill I ever see heaven again? Will I ever see heaven again? repeat last verse
