I must admit to previously finding Katie Melua's stuff a bit samey, even twee, but I think this is a gorgeous song, which she sings beautifully.
Anyone else like it? |

Clive,
Yes, it's a good song, from her latest album, which is good also.

I saw her on the Impossible duets show doing 'over the rainbow' with Eva Cassidy. Sent a shiver down my spine. _________________ Geddon

Yeah, I've got "Piece by Piece", but I don't like the "Nine Million Bicycles" song.... twee, maybe, irritating, definitely, after a few plays. It was a gift, though, so can't complain too loudly. Not sure whether I should add "Call Off The Search" to my wishlist - anyone care to comment? _________________ Author: “To the Ends of the Earth: A Snapshot of Aviation in North-Eastern Siberia, Summer 1992”

As in the Canned Heat hit of about 1970? If so, I'd be interested to hear it. |

I have call off the search. Quite a nice album. a friend bought it for me.
I considered buying the second album, but when I heard the nonsense of 9 Million Bicycles in Beijing & a couple of others, I gave up.
But Shy Boy is a really nice song- & she sings it well |

Hey! - I never said that!
Clive, Lord Evans - yes, it is the canned heat version - it's possibly the best track on the album, nice re-working of it, trumpets,etc.
I've also got her first album and she does a great version of 'Lilac Wine'. _________________ Some say he once threw a microwave oven at a tramp and that all his potted plants are called 'Steve'.....all we know is, he's called 'The Stig!'. |

No, that was a quote from my post that had your name on it!
Cherskiy, do you wanna swap her 2nd album for her first? |

I wonder if she had the same squeaky voice, but looked like Michelle Mcmanus, she'd still be as successful? _________________ Eternal nothingness is fine if you happen to be dressed for it. |

Natasha,
Works for Bob Dylan - he looks like a hobo (no disrespect meant) but has a fantastic voice. _________________ Some say he once threw a microwave oven at a tramp and that all his potted plants are called 'Steve'.....all we know is, he's called 'The Stig!'. |

When he was younger he was buff - he's aged ok, I think. But Dylan is a legend anyway, no matter what he looks like. _________________ Eternal nothingness is fine if you happen to be dressed for it. |
