Read More Laura Gibson The best way I can describe her music is that her songs are so delicate and gentle and kind… possibly just like Laura Gibson, herself ....

LAURA GIBSON

We like Laura Gibson. I was lucky enough to have caught the gentle songstress earlier this year.
Recently, NPR named a Laura Gibson's song, "The Carob Trees" as NPR's Song of the Day.
Gibson talked about the origin of the unreleased song, "'The Carob Trees' came after a visit to my friend Raul's family home in the countryside near Valencia, Spain. The house and land had been in his family for many generations. Raul told stories of trapping quail and collecting olives when he was a child, of his parents stomping grapes into wine. Raul's great grandfather collected stones to build terraces up the hillside in order to plant trees on the land. There were olive trees and almond trees, and then also a type of tree that wasn't familiar to me. Raul didn't know the English word, and didn't know the Spanish word. Finally, after he called it "poor man's chocolate" I realized they were carob trees. I was thinking of all the generations who spent time under those trees, and how we move forward in time and in relationships, both within and also outside of our own will. Thinking of will in relationships, and of trees, and of lineage, I was reminded of the story of Adam and Eve. The narrator in the song became a mix of Eve, of Raul's great great great grandparents, and of myself."
