A Pause to Listen: Katie Melua
Today we begin A Pause to Listen, a reoccurring series this blog will typically feature on Tuesdays. The theme: musical performances, of course! We lead off with the sublime, enchanting Katie Melua, singing “The Flood.”
Melua knows how to express overflowing meaning with the simplest words, and she does so with remarkable delivery. Listen to the way she whispers the words “let go,” and tell me you aren’t enthused with wondrous fortitude.
How can it be that I’ve never heard of her before this?
Marvelous, isn’t she? Check out “Nine Million Bicycles” and “Closest Thing to Crazy.”
I had never heard of her before, either, and neither has my girlfriend, who usually knows more about these things. Thanks, Kyle, for showing this.
You are welcome.
