about
Laura is a song about finding yourself and being true to the person inside. Letting your private self come to the surface and showing its okay to be vulnerable.
Usually when the song is performed live it interpreted as a love song, and the question “ so, who is Laura?” is always asked with a cheeky grin. Although there is no “Laura” there is certainly a person inside everyone we are looking to bring to the surface.
lyrics
Laura I don’t know you,
But you have a good name
I bet you have a good heart to go with it.
It rolls right off your tongue, just like water from a ducks back
Full of strength, strong will, and character
There’s not a good trait that you lack.
[Chorus]
Reveal yourself Laura,
Come out of your shell,
Show the world that smile of yours and rise,
Oh your eyes.
Laura just like everything,
And every other song I sing.
I wish toy hold you close at night,
Forget about the cold.
Oh I’ll send our trouble sky-high,
Beyond the moon, past Icarus.
I’ll send them straight into the sun,
There’s no way they’ll ever bother us.
[Chorus}
Reveal yourself Laura,
Come out of your shell,
Show the world that smile of yours and rise,
Oh your eyes.
Laura now its time to show the world what you’ve become,
You’re kind, carefree, and able let them all fall at your feet.
Oh let all those who apposed you,
Turned a blind eye would not help you,
Let all those who misjudged you,
See you rise again a new.
[Chorus]
Reveal yourself Laura,
Come out of your shell,
Show the world that smile of yours and rise,
Oh your eyes.
[Chorus]
Reveal yourself Laura,
Come out of your shell,
Show the world that smile of yours and rise,
Oh your eyes.

Music and lyrics by Neil Timothy O'Shea
Recorded and produced by Cameron James Laing at The Famous GOld Watch A.V Studios in Berlin.
The Nation Mourns is the musical brain child of Irish songwriter Neil O’Shea. Growing up with a wide range of blues and rock
influence, it was the haunting timbre of artists such as Tom Waits, Nick Drake, and Jackson C Frank that drew him to songwriting. This has lead him to lyrics of landscapes and leaving for home; while subtle, melancholic melodies draw you ever further into the music....more
