Not surprized she appeared on the Kennedy Center stage. She is a great song writer, a distinguished poet, and her voice has healing tones. Congratulations!

I’ll never forget being able to see this in person. Hearing Laufey perform this with orchestra was something I never would’ve expected.

All Laufey's songs are so good but Magnolia holds a special spot in my heart.

Laufey reminds me of those 40's female singers ... so elegant. Like Judy Garland

[agnesfonmarten]

Her low / deep notes are very nice. Wish she’d sing that way more

Magnolia, she could have anyone in the world
Floats around town in a golden gown
Born in a castle on a cloud
Magnolia, prettiest girl that I know
Stars in her eyes, handpicked from the skies
Beautiful soul

How can I compete with her?
Perfection is the only word
I think of when I think of Magnolia
She doesn't know that the world is turning just for her
I wish I could be Magnolia

Ooh
Oh

Magnolia, she can move oceans and rivers with ease
A word from her lips, her sirens kiss
Will send you straight into abyss
Magnolia, I wish she'd give her secrets away
Enchants everyone and I think it'd be fun
To be like her someday

But I cannot compete with her
Perfection is the only word
I think of when I think of Magnolia
She doesn't know that the world is turning just for her
I wish I could be Magnolia
Magnolia

I may go to her concert in August I hope she performs this song, one of my top favorite songs from her. 🔥

[Radio-sbcv]

this is a Laufey original, it's not from a famous musical, but the first impression is as if. We need a musical just for this song. My heart has fallen

[ameliatahnia]

Wish I could stream the whole episode outside of the US :(

[charliekosh]

anyone else hoping it was her singing magnolia by playboi carti
