Album: Love Your Dum And Mad (2013.)
Lyrics excerpt:
We were down and out in London
Sharing beds and sharing money
But we were satisfied
With our hot milk and honey
For the young and beautiful
The life with no regrets
So let's toast to a short-lived love
And drink to all the rest
I'm not gonna follow you to the ground
Darling, I'm leaving this dreary town
I'm not gonna follow you to the ground
When there's greener pastures waiting to be found
Reasons to love this song:
The lyrics quoted above are probably not completely correct because I wasn't able to find them online, so I attempted to write them down as I heard them and it took me several repeats to make them out. But that just makes me appreciate Nadine Shah's voice even more: normally I consider the lyrics to a song at least as important as the music, if not more important. But this song instantly got a place among my all-time favourites during the very first listen -- while I understood very little of the lyrics -- because of the melody and the singer's amazingly expressive voice, which reminds me of the voice of a fado singer.
