Piece By Piece, 2005
Written by Katie Melua
Title trax!
A modern torch song, slow jazz-pop with strings, a ballad about a broken love affair. I have never heard of Melua, but the album this song is on went quadruple platinum, Melua is one of the UK's best-selling female artists and she's one of the UK's richest musicians. So apparently there are enormous lacunae in my musical knowledge?! I don't pay much attention to this modern stuff, he sniffed, forgetting in his old-feller dotage that 2005 was twenty fucking years ago. Uh, anyhoo, although the genre isn't my bag, this is a pretty great torch song, with evocative, wistful lyrics; could have been written for Sarah Vaughn or Edith Piaf. "First of all must fly / My dreams of you and I / There's no point in holding on to those." Chills!
