Beth Orton

With an indescribable voice and a definite charm Beth Orton came into my life via my crazy uncle. I have to say that through out the years my uncle has brought me some of the most interesting music I have ever heard. Some of it good some of it bad most of it weird in some way. Beth Orton happens to be one of the good from the endless stack of CDs he has given me. Why do I love Beth Orton? Well for starters she is experimental without being ridiculous (in a bad way) she manages to create a unique sound without making me want to sit for hours and hate her first. I think it could be her voice or her spot on fit to my life lyrics that makes me love her I can't not choose just which. She is quotable and beautiful and sings about being strong in the face of love and conquest and what is great is that you just don't notice those things at first. She has a definite stoner vibe without having to get high to listen and understand where she is coming from. And this my friends is why you should listen to Beth Orton. I really can not describe the ways she has changed my perceptions of music and how I think about listening to things but she definitely has. So check her out she is indeed wonderful.

My favorite album of hers is Daybreaker
And my favorite songs Ali's Waltz, Thinking About Tomorrow and Concrete Sky

As always I am including her myspace, her site and some info.



Tired but I ain't sleeping
Thinking about some sad affair
And why i should be leaving cos some of these thoughts
Only seem to take me outta here
These habits are so hard to break and they're so easy to make
These habits are so hard to break and they're so easy to make

Thinking about tomorrow tired form all the time I spare
On what I still believe in
When none of my talk ever seems to get me anywhere
These habits are so hard to break and they're so easy to make
These habits are so hard to break and they're so easy to make

So long bye my friend so long
So long will it ever happen again
You know that I've been waiting for you
I've been creating for you so long
You know the light ain't fading form you
Nothing could save me form you, so long

Tired but I ain't dreaming falling into solid air
And why I must be leaving or one of these days
I'm gonna pull out all my hair
These habits are so hard to break and they're so easy to make
These habits are so hard to break and they're so easy to make
So long, bye my friend so long so long will it ever happen again
You know that I've been waiting for you
I've been creating for you so long
You know the light ain't fading from you
Nothing could save me form you so long




Faith has a good side still everyone she ever loved they all turned bad
Constance his own way of breathing and you know
You couldn't will him to survive
Couldn't will him if you if you tried, and there's a concrete sky
Falling from the trees again and you know now why
It's not coming round too soon
It's harder than a heartbreak too

I've seen your good side but I still don't know just what it is
That you might want
See you've got your own way of moving
And you know you could save me
Save your soul, I'll save some of you
Save my soul, feel like I'm falling fell like I'm falling
And there's a concrete sky
Falling from the trees again and you know now why
It's not coming round too soon, it's harder than a heartbreak too
It's tough enough what love will do

So much time gets lost in my mind
But I know now what I must rely on
It's a sound and forgetting, ain't the worst thing
I've been out walking don't do too much talking
Wouldn't take too much time, wouldn't take all your time
Cos it's as precious as mine Save my soul, I'll save some for you
Save my soul feel like I'm falling feel like I'm falling
And there's a concrete sky
Falling from the trees again and you know now why
It's not coming round too soon, it's harder than a heartbreak too
It's tough enough what love will do
And you're as precious as mine
And you're as precious as mine...
