Since Warlock went gaga all over this blog about James Blunt, I might as well get another brit star to gush about.
So, of course, I got me a chick to drool over. And its... Natasha Bedingfield! Sister to Daniel Bedingfield. Is she a babe? You be the judge.
When I first heard her name, I was like, bah, just another sibling hanging on the coat tails of a famous kin. Then I really listened to the lyrics of "these words" and I went like - cool song...
Not exactly Sheryl Crow, I know, but her songs tend to have a simple charm about them. My favourite is Unwritten, a song based on a poem she wrote for her brother's birthday.
Heres a sample of the lyrics:
I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined
I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your INHIBITIONS
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
