Save Trip Home

[Skybird]

Look no further

I might have been a singer
Who sailed around the world
A gambler who wins milions
And spent it all on girls

I might have been a poet
Who walked upon the moon
A scientist who would tell the world
I discovered something new

I might have loved a king
Been the one to enter war
A criminal who drinks champain
And never could be caught

But among your books
Among your clothes
Among the noise and fuss
I've let it go

I can't stop and catch my breath
And look no further, for hapiness
And I will not turn again
Cause my heart, has found it's home

Everyone I'll never meet
And the friends I wont now make
The adventures that they could have been
And the risks I'll never take

But among your books
Among your clothes
Among your noise and fuss
I've let it go

I can't stop and catch my breath
And look no further, for happiness
And I will not turn again
Cause my heart, has found it's home

This was exciting news for me. Finally, with a delay of 18 months or so, the new album by Dido, entitled "Save Trip Home", will be released in late Octobre/early November.

I just have watched some new videos, and listened to two tracks. One of them touched me so directly and straight that it left me speechless for two minutes, really moved. She definitely has changed her way to approach music, although maybe in a subtle way, maybe even a bit experimental. This sounds different than her first two albums, if the whole album is like these two tracks. It could be that it is true what has been written in the past 18 months, that due to some tragic family event she stepped onto a somewhat more intimate, private path for approaching music. And a unique, unmistakable voice she has always had anyway.

i also appreaciate that she does not rest with her past fame and tries to live by it, but that she improves, by learning new instruments, editing, studio cutting and all that stuff. That means she is dedicated to become a complete musician in the best meaning of the word, not just resting with some talent she was gifted with when still lying in her cradle. Too many "stars" living for one or two shows and then dissapearing again just rely on their "talent" or what they consider to be that - and then find out that talent alone does not get you very far. TV casting shows are full and full of them.

Really loving her texts, voice and music, and having seen one of her concerts live and knowing the Brixton Academy video recording in and out, I'm looking forward to this long awaited album, although it could be that maybe it is not for the wide mass market any longer.

Nice, I enjoy her a lot, thanks for the heads up.

[Skybird]

Beautiful.

[Happy Times]

I like it but is this song about love or giving up on life?:hmm:

[Skybird]

I am not sure, but it could be about her father who died more than a year ago or so. It was written that this really made a heavy impact on her. Well,it probably does that for most people loosing their father, but it delayed her album by 1 year. The former album draft she had was completely reworked.

No. Two songs have been made available as promo on her official website.

Check www.didomusic.com. there are two or three new short vids from interviews during studio works, amongst old music videos.

And to brighten the rest of this grey, rainy day:



(yeah yeah I know I've linked it before, but still it is the perfect musical antidepressive)

The full album is available to the best of my knowledge.

It would obviously be innapropriate to make any further reference

No, not at all my friend.

We all surf different sites from time to time.

Update: the album again has been delayed by two weeks, due to manufacturing problems in their CD factory. It will now be released around 14th Novembre.

A first review of the album is up, an it seems to exactly confirm what I came to expect. Looks good. The song they talk of, I also heared meanwhile, and it is indeed like what they say.

I'm really waiting for this one now!

Not that it's a gloomy album, but these songs are noticeably more reflective, their themes of longing and absence rooted deeper than the caprices of romantic love, and consequently it feels more serious than her previous work.

P.S. Be aware that there are TWO version sof the album, one with the original set of 11 songs, and a double-CD with 3 or 4 more songs and a remix, and one video.
