"Laura" is the fifth track on Bat For Lashes' third studio album, The Haunted Man. It was released as the lead single off the album on 24 July 2012.
"Laura" was one of the last songs written for The Haunted Man, because Natasha's label pressured her into writing it as they felt the album didn't have enough singles. This is the album's (and Bat For Lashes's) only co-written song (to date).
On the recording session with Justin Parker, she said:
According to Natasha, the song was written about a friend of hers the night before the writing session with Justin Parker in which she threw a “debauched” party at her flat in London, which left one of her friends – who was the inspiration behind the song and whose name is not Laura – somewhat broken the next day.
Although the song is about her close friend, Natasha asked people to take it to their hearts and make their own meaning:
You say that they've all left you behind
Your heart broke when the party died
Drape your arms around me and softly say,
"Can we dance upon the tables again?"
When your smile is so wide and your heels are so high
You can't cry

And ultimately to understand and empathise with our basic humanness. We are all going through so many different things and we don’t have rituals, we don’t have elders, we don’t have intergenerational households. We don’t mimic the rest of nature, in the way that the rest of nature learns from their elders.
