Lyrically Speaking for December 4

As most of you already know, I am a big fan of Dido. Her first two albums are filled with great words and melodies that speak to me. I'm sure there are songs of hers that you specifically enjoy. Well two weeks ago she released her third album Safe Trip Home, bringing us a new bunch of songs to enjoy. So far I've have good times listening to the album but there is one track that really speaks to me. It is a bit long (8 minutes) of a repeating beat, but it's mellow and really just sounds beautiful. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.

From the album Safe Trip Home, this is Northern Skies:

i have returned to northern skies where summer hasn’t touched the clouds that pass above

i have returned to the sombre greys of days too early to come and too hurried to stay

i have left a million stars and an ocean light and clearly blue

i have left the warmth of the sun and a million adventures not yet begun

for once there was beauty here for me under the wide northern skies and once there was magic here for me under the wide northern skies

i saw trees as green and this dark as blue heartbreak and poetry with deeper roots

but now i know this is lonely country and it leads me only back to the sea

for once there was beauty here for me under the wide northern skies and once there was magic here for me under the wide northern skies x 2
