Laura: Australian post-rock group:

"Their massive wall of sound paralyses the room with awe…They’re like a hit of LSD – you can’t stop it or control it, you just flow with it until it ends abruptly, leaving you naked and disoriented.”
Brag Magazine

For anyone who ever thought that making good music was a lost art, Laura compels you to think again.

Officially, the 5-piece alternative outfit from Melbourne formed in 2001, but it wasn’t until a few years later that the band's story really began. Following the release of its debut EP ‘Photographs…’ in 2002, Laura experimented with a number of member changes and, consequently, sounds. By 2003, the band included the current members: Andrew Chalmers (guitars / vocals), Nathan Biggin (piano / synthesizers / guitars), Ben Yardley (guitars), Andrew Yardley (bass), and Carolyn Gannell (cello). The time spent perfecting the mix was clearly worth the toil, because what followed is one of the most impressive and well received bodies of work produced by an Australian underground act in recent years.

In 2004, Laura released its debut album, 'Mapping Your Dreams', produced by Melbourne-based Japanese engineer and recording artist Naomune Anzai. The title track quickly gained the attention of radio, receiving high-rotation airplay from independent stations around the country including FBi Radio and 2SER in Sydney, and 3RRR and 3PBS in Melbourne. Critical success soon followed. Of the album, Rave Magazine said, "Mapping Your Dreams drips in ethereal, other worldly wall of soundness.” Beat Magazine named the track 'We Should Keep This Secret' its Single of the Week and later Indie Single of the Year for 2004. During this time, Laura began to gain significant momentum in the live arena as well, thanks to intense shows that featured the band’s signature wall of sound, and its dramatic and at times chaotic dynamics.

Having created a more than healthy groundswell, Laura spent an intense six months writing and recording its second album, ‘Radio Swan Is Down’. Upon the albums’ release in 2006, the band embarked on a national tour which not only proved to intensify their fan base, but also gained the attention of international ears including US prog-metal group ISIS, for whom Laura would go on to support on their 2007 Australian tour. That same year, the band released a Japanese edition of ‘Radio Swan Is Down’, later promoting the album with a tour of Japan that included shows in Tokyo, Osaka and Hiroshima.

With their international profile clearly on the rise, and a solid international fan base now well established, Laura released their second EP 'Yes Maybe No' in 2008 on US label Elevation Recordings. Further exposure in the US followed in 2009 with MTV licensing several of the band's songs for various TV series.

This March, Laura releases the limited edition double a-side 7 inch, ‘This Grey Earth’ | Mark The Day’. With only 500 copies produced, The 7 inch is the first taste of what’s to come from the band's long awaited third album, and is already gaining significant attention with ‘Mark The Day’ being named Single Of The Week by both Beat Magazine and InPress in January 2011. "…its enough to darken the sun at midday." (InPress Magazine)

Dark, moody and complicated, this latest release by Laura is sure to leave a mark on all who hear it.

Shattered
Laura Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't remember a single thing you said to me
Just the crushing blow that comes when someone leaves
The smoke's finally cleared, I open my eyes
The world is still here and to my surprise

Chorus

I'm not shattered

I'm not what I thought I would be
Just a heart left in ruins on the ground
I keep checking myself and I'm still in one piece
I'm sorry, I'm sad, I'm hurt and I'm mad
Am I lonely without you, yeah a little
But I'm not shattered - I'm not shattered

I used to think I'd disappear without your touch
Nights alone without you here would be too much
When you said goodbye tears fell like rain
I can't deny I feel the pain…but

Repeat Chorus

Your final kiss hit like a rock through a window pane
I thought I'd die, go into shock, even go insane
But now I know I can go on and be ok
Cause I'm not shattered, I'm not shattered

Repeat Chorus

I'm not shattered, I'm not shattered, I'm not shattered

Overall Meaning

In Laura's song "Shattered," the singer is recounting the experience of being left by someone she loved. The song is, in essence, a breakup anthem. While she doesn't remember the specifics of what was said during the breakup, she does recall the feeling of being crushed. As time goes on and the smoke clears, she begins to realize that the world is still intact, and she is, too. The chorus of the song makes it clear that she may be hurt, sad, and angry, but she is not broken beyond repair. She is still in one piece and capable of moving on without her partner.

The lyrics in "Shattered" express the sentiment that while the breakup may have been painful, Laura is capable of surviving and moving forward. She used to believe that she would be unable to go on without her partner, but she realizes now that she is not shattered by their absence. The final kiss that her partner gave her is described as hitting her like a rock through a window pane, causing her intense physical and emotional pain. But as time passes, she comes to the conclusion that she will be okay on her own.

It's interesting to note that while the song expresses sadness and pain, it also carries a sense of resilience and empowerment. Laura acknowledges her vulnerability, but she refuses to let the breakup define her. Instead, she embraces her strength and ability to heal.

Line by Line Meaning

I don't remember a single thing you said to me
I can't recall any specific words you spoke to me

Just the crushing blow that comes when someone leaves
The only thing I remember is the intense pain of your departure

The smoke's finally cleared, I open my eyes
After some time has passed, I'm able to see things more clearly

The world is still here and to my surprise
Despite my personal tragedy, life goes on as usual for everyone else

I'm not shattered I'm not what I thought I would be Just a heart left in ruins on the ground I keep checking myself and I'm still in one piece I'm sorry, I'm sad, I'm hurt and I'm mad Am I lonely without you, yeah a little But I'm not shattered - I'm not shattered
Though my heart is broken and I'm experiencing a range of difficult emotions, I haven't completely fallen apart

I used to think I'd disappear without your touch Nights alone without you here would be too much
At one point, I felt like I couldn't function without you

When you said goodbye tears fell like rain I can't deny I feel the pain…but
Your departure was extremely upsetting and I'm still hurting, but there's more to my story

Your final kiss hit like a rock through a window pane I thought I'd die, go into shock, even go insane But now I know I can go on and be ok Cause I'm not shattered, I'm not shattered
At the moment of our goodbye, I was overwhelmed with despair, but over time I've realized that I can move on from this loss

I'm not shattered, I'm not shattered, I'm not shattered
Repeating this refrain shows that Laura is reinforcing her newfound strength
