When I was searching for Lyrics to Dido's Here With Me earlier I found another song of hers I did not know about - a song called 'Christmas Day', which is I imagine on a christmas album... Certainly iTunes does not have the song listed. It sounds like a classic story telling story - sort of reminds me half of Wuthering Heights, and half of Grace Jones song The General from the movie Toys. I will definitely keep an eye out for the song...

I first heard her collaboration with Ememen this morning on the song 'Stan'. I could not believe how well integrated the song was with Dido's music. Quite amazing really - I have never been all that much of a fan of his, but this has put the music into perspective certainly. Given me a different view of what he does - which I guess is what the purpose of the song was, at least partially.

Also on the subject of music earlier I came across a strange track by Bette Middler titled To Deserve You which to be honest I could not remember hearing. Once again, the lyrics are so powerful... You can just tell what she is trying to say as a song writer - the message she is tring to convey about how much she loves this guy - and how she doesnt feel that she is his equal.

I didn’t want you to see me like this.
The light of the dawn can be cruel.
How I want, how I want to deserve you.
And if I could be granted a wish,
I’d shine in your eye like a jewel.
How I want to deserve you.

I would die for you.
Could you ever love me that much?
How I want, how I want to deserve you.
