This Sunday the Observer is giving away a free Laura Marling CD featuring studio tracks and live recordings. The much-loved singer spoke to Killian Fox this week about the CD, playing shows in cathedrals, and what she's been up to since being named best female solo artist at this year's Brits.
On Thursday we asked @guardianmusic Twitter followers to tell us what their favourite Laura Marling song is and why. Is yours mentioned? If not, let us know below.

'Cos it made my jaw hit the floor hard when a saw LM performing it on Later with Jools - a C21st love song @amcc66
"If He made me in His image, then He's a failure too". I think Laura was 17 when she wrote that lyric. @CoreyMinagh
Because it's truthful, hopeful, honest, simple, well-recorded but also musically beautiful with an ace arrangement. JackDurtnall
