Laufey 'From the Start' Official Lyrics & Meaning | Verified

Icelandic Chinese singer-songwriter Laufey has a couple of theories regarding the popularity of her hit song “From the Start,” which has surpassed 80 million Spotify streams since its release in May. Maybe it’s got something to do with the music—a frothy mix of jazz and bossa nova that definitely stands out in today’s pop landscape. But it’s also the feeling the song describes—the awkwardness that takes hold when we’re in the presence of someone we secretly like.

“I think it’s also the brutal honesty of the lyrics,” Laufey says on the latest episode of Verified. “It’s very literal. I’m not trying to hide anything. I think a lot of people have felt that way before.”

She singing the lyrics with her guitar here and the fact that it is practically the same as the final song shows the raw talent she has for music. Also, the lyrics are beautiful...

Bossa nova has always been so special to me as a brazillian teenager having a singer like laufey bringing such a light of this sounds into modern music is a blessing
Thank you so much for your songs ❤

she is so well versed with genres of music, you can tell she knows what she is talking about, alot of thought goes into her music 🥰

[mateusmattossabarreto]

A lot of her song's lyrics are actually so simple and so relatable but she just makes it sound so beautiful and a lot more complex then it actually is. Love the phrase she said at the end of the video "I just wanted it to sound like a sunset"

I love how laufey's genius isn't awkward and she's putting on a full performance I loveee herrr she's so thoughtful

Laufey, in my opinion, is an unequivocally sublime artist. Not only is her music cathartically euphonious, but her personality, emotions, and authenticity is reflected within the art she creates. To top it all off, she’s bringing Jazz, my favorite genre, to the forefront of my generation’s attention. This, I consider incredibly valuable. Her work truly is a testament to the fact that Jazz is not a dying art. But rather, an ever-evolving entity of timeless beauty.

I always say that Laufey songs are for hopeless romantics they sound like romantic comedies in the form of music and they truly make me happy!!! One of my favorite artists ever amazing voice, and lyricism.

[slck]

The first time I heard Laufey was on TikTok, she sang a cover of Ella Fitzgerald’s, “Makin’ Whoopee”. Fell in love with her voice and style.

I’m so happy to see her fulfilling her dreams and seeing others get to experience her artistry.

[chrissinger]

I’ve loved her from that cello acoustic version of I Wish You Love. She’s so truly incredible

[EPLF]

One of the greatest artists of this generation fr
