![]() July Flame (2010) [ larger cover art ] |
Oh, I can see your tracks
But I won't follow them
I'll just hope for rain
Some kind of crazy wind
To erase them, chase them
Into oblivion
Oh, I can smell the smoke
From your fire, babe
But I'll leave you alone
And sleep in this lonely cave
Pray for the storm to
Scrub this dirt away
I can hear the snakes
Creeping 'cross the scene
I'm quaking in my boots
But you won't hear me scream
I'm halfway down to New Orleans
You're halfway down to New Orleans

| hidey | Posted: Oct 14, 2012 - 00:18 That's more like it! Very talented woman. Great album - they all are. |
| WormyShermy (South Florida) | Posted: Aug 11, 2012 - 23:18 Beautiful. Love it. |
| karsin (Ireland) | Posted: Jul 03, 2012 - 07:24 Wasn't completely paying attention and thought this was a Neko Case song. |
| djaychicago (In a far, far better place) | Posted: Jun 09, 2012 - 20:28 Not doing it for me on the first listen... might improve with time, but I'm kind doubting it at the moment. |

| Vinni_NL | Posted: Jan 04, 2012 - 11:38 For some reason I just don't really like her sound... |
| Andy_B (aboard MV "Horizon," east coast Fla) | Posted: Aug 21, 2011 - 11:50 So sweet a sound. The melody just wispers and teases the ears. |
| Cynaera (South of Neanderthal) | Posted: Jun 01, 2011 - 20:07 So weird - I was hearing this song in my dreams last night - I'd wake up, then go back to sleep and there it'd be again. Life can be so inexplicable, and throwing dreams into the mix only makes it more difficult to fathom. All I can say is that this song better not be in my dreams tonight, because I'm hoping for a steamy session with Johnny Depp. |
| Frater_Kork (Uppsala, Sweden) | Posted: May 24, 2011 - 07:17 Currently a bit too twee for me. A few more listens will show where my meter is tipping. |
| Lumpy13 | Posted: May 16, 2011 - 06:37 Like it a lot. I think she sang back-up vocals on Dec.'s Yankee Bayonet. |
| feinbell1 | Posted: Mar 30, 2011 - 15:27 Vocals just give me a headache as I'm reaching for the fast forward option....... Move On from this song!! |
| Dave_Mack (Nice) | Posted: Mar 30, 2011 - 15:23 Bleah. Don't like any of the vocals in this. |

Not to mention this song actually found a place for that irrirating voice of the My Morning Jacket dude, his voice actually works with this tune, hide him in the background where he belongs. Sounds like the dude(s) from Fleet Foxes in the background. |

| Radio_Man (South Carolina) | Posted: Mar 03, 2011 - 08:11 Laura is incredibly talented. So much so that we will never hear her on commercial radio. Good thing we have RP and public radio. This is not one of her strongest tracks but pickup a copy of Year Of Meteors for a great number of really catchy and witty songs. |

| LennytheB (beyond the 7th sun) | Posted: Dec 19, 2010 - 16:13 I like it! |
| freeone1 (naru island, nagasaki, japan) | Posted: Dec 18, 2010 - 03:50 that voice would be the one and only, jim james of my morning jacket. knew it the second i heard it. even the FF front man can't do it quite like jim can. ;) ick wrote: Did she get Fleet Foxes to sing the background vocals? Sorta sounds like it... I'm just sayin'. |

A potential need-to-buy'er... :) 9 I'd never heard of her either but when Bill played "Galaxies" I had to get it. (BTW, that one prompted one of the funniest comments I've read here (by redeyespy) "She looks like a poster girl for the Dewey Decimal System and she rocks!" Or something like that. :-) |
| petrfas (Prague, Czech Republic) | Posted: Dec 15, 2010 - 01:51 fleet foxes on backvocals definitely :) |

| TerryS (The other SW) | Posted: Nov 10, 2010 - 21:32 Cool, different, quirky, emminently listenable. |

| Darlington (Columbia, South Carolina) | Posted: Sep 22, 2010 - 10:38 This is a really good cd/album...its sort of fallen through the cracks with my listening though....need to pick it up again... |
| Marley (Portland, Or) | Posted: Sep 12, 2010 - 13:20 Just saw her last night opening for The Decemberists as part of the NW MusicFest. Great show! |

| yclept (left of here, right of there) | Posted: Aug 25, 2010 - 16:28 Neko Case must be sincerely flattered. |

| Cynaera (South of Neanderthal) | Posted: Aug 09, 2010 - 19:55 I was hooked from the first four bars of the intro. This is a very awesome song - adding the CD to my (very long) list of new music to buy when I win the lottery or sell a couple million copies of my book... |
| DaveInVA (In a hovel in effluent Damnville, VA) | Posted: Aug 07, 2010 - 09:49 Cool! New Laura Veirs - good stuff... |
| ziakut (Chicago, IL) | Posted: Aug 04, 2010 - 16:47 Am really liking this song. Love ya, Laura. |
| OscarHW (A flat somewhere in York...) | Posted: Aug 04, 2010 - 16:46 Beautiful and mellow, amazing voice! Makes me want to cry:'( |
