Spider's Web
I discovered Katie Melua, a Georgian/British singer, yesterday. Today I have been listening to her album Piece by Piece on repeat - it is wonderful. The song above, Spider's Web written by KM herself, is especially lovely. The lyrics are beautiful:
Cause the line between
Wrong and right
Is the width of a thread from a spider's web
The piano keys are black and white
But they sound like a million colours in your mind

Nice song Fly jan. Thanks for sharing.
what other good tracks from her?
There are a couple of other songs which I like:
- Nine million bicycles in Beijing
- piece by piece
The whole album is very ncie actually!
ya, good find, i chacked out her other album "call off the search" and it was nice.
that nine million bicycle song has a funny story about it. look at the last minute in the video i posted on reverse speech.
Andrew Beckett: Do you like opera?
Joe Miller: I'm not that familiar with opera.
Andrew Beckett: This is my favorite aria. This is Maria Callas. This is "Andrea Chenier", Umberto Giordano. This is Madeleine. She's saying how during the French Revolution, a mob set fire to her house, and her mother died... saving her. "Look, the place that cradled me is burning." Can you hear the heartache in her voice? Can you feel it, Joe? In come the strings, and it changes everything. The music fills with a hope, and that'll change again. Listen... listen..."I bring sorrow to those who love me." Oh, that single cello! "It was during this sorrow that love came to me." A voice filled with harmony. It says, "Live still, I am life. Heaven is in your eyes. Is everything around you just the blood and mud? I am divine. I am oblivion. I am the god... that comes down from the heavens, and makes of the Earth a heaven. I am love!... I am love."
-Quote from the movie Philadelphia, 1993.
