Free Music Review: One of my favourite songs at the moment
Hit: 5 Stars
I have it on all the time. I think Dido is brilliant, even though she's been rather quiet, after her previous album, "No Angel". Is it any wonder, it became one of the biggest selling albums of 2000-01, and if she did a 'bad' follow-up album, then ... She probably wouldn't have succeeded. Many second albums are hard to do, and some fail. It's funny how Dido didn't become famous sooner. Her brother, with the equally weird name, Rollo, is part of Faithless. It was only when Eminem sampled her track "Thank You" for "Stan" that she really came into the spotlight, and "No Angel" went on to send millions of copies.After a 2 year break, in which time Dido split up with her long-term boyfriend of 6 years, she came back with this track. From the two songs I've heard so far, this and "Life For Rent" (the title track of her album), a lot of the lyrics relate to her break-up. I find especially this song. It must hurt for her ex to hear this song, as it's very deep and raw. Dido sings about splitting up with someone and apologising for that, and talking about seeing them a while afterwards. And how they'll see how much she's changed.
The video to this is equally brilliant, and features David Boreanaz as Dido's "ex". I don't normally like this guy, he doesn't really appeal to me as drop dead gorgeous, but in this video, he was perfect next to Dido.
Some people think I only like this song because of the line "I will go down with this ship", and everyone knows how much I like Titanic! But its not for that reason - when I first heard it, I thought she was singing that she would go down with this FISH! Didn't make much sense!
I love this track, and makes you want to buy the album. The only problem I have with Dido is many of her tracks sound too similar. But she can really cut it live.
