Dido

Since I have come back from my holiday in Croatia the song that have often in mind is Dido - Sand In My Shoes.

The song is beautifully-sad, softly-heart-breaking and Dido's melancholic voice makes it even more charming. It's about the feeling we all have when we come back from the sunny seaside to the dirty, loud and crowded city and wonder: "How did I survive here so far?"
Since we're here I will post another two videos that I also love:

If you liked these, you must know that Dido has a new album entitled "Safe Trip Home".

"Dido started working on her third album in October 2005 in Los Angeles. The album has been produced by Jon Brion and herself. Collaborators include Brian Eno, Questlove, Mick Fleetwood, Rollo Armstrong and Matt Chamberlain. Recording sessions were held at London's Abbey Road and at Jon Brion's home studio in Los Angeles.

Dido's official website has been relaunched to coincide with the release of the album. The release of the album has been postponed several times, though no official reason has been given for this. The first single from the album, "Don't Believe in Love" leaked to the Internet on 5 September 2008 and was made available digitally on 27 October, 2008. The full album was leaked to the internet on the 1st November, 2008, some 16 days before its official launch date. On 13 November 2008, the full album was available for a world premier listening at iLike.

On 22 August 2008, Dido's official website confirmed that the album was to be entitled Safe Trip Home, with the official release date of 17 November 2008. A free song from the album, "Look No Further" was available to download from the site for a limited time. Other songs to be included in the album are: "It Comes And It Goes", "The Day Before the Day", "Never Want To Say It's Love" and "Grafton Street". The latter was composed in collaboration with Brian Eno. The album cover features a photograph of astronaut Bruce McCandless II during a spacewalk, as part of space shuttle mission STS-41-B.
“ I recorded my vocals next to the hoover in Jon’s broom cupboard. It was so small, there wasn’t even room for a guitar: I got quite addicted to singing in there. ”

In December 2008, Dido's song "Let’s Do The Things We Normally Do," was criticised by Gregory Campbell, MP for East Londonderry and Minister for Sports, Arts and Leisure for Northern Ireland, for referencing lyrics from a song, "The Men Behind the Wire” which was written in the aftermath of the introduction of detention without trial for persons accused of being members of paramilitary groups. Campbell described "The Men Behind the Wire” as, "written about people who were murderers, arsonists and terrorists". Campbell suggests that "she (Dido) should clarify her position so that her fans and the wider public knows where she stands on these things." The song has been rumoured to be inspired by the death of her father, William O’Malley Armstrong. The album failed to be promoted as her previous efforts." says Wikipedia.
