My entry for this week is a song by KT Tunstall, a firm favourite of mine.
I do think KT writes excellent songs, the powerful and the softer ones; I love them all!

On this one she uses a loop pedal and I can't help but think, that she wrote the song around it. I've always wondered, what it is actually about, it never fully made sense to me, but it would appear that it does have some sort of story behind it. The bottom line is, that it's a clever and catchy song, that everybody knows and oooohs along to, whenever played live.

My version doesn't involve the loop pedal, although I have started using it, having been given instructions by a very dear friend of mine. I hope, to post something some time.

Anyway, I hope, you like this one and thanks for listening!

Lyrics

Well my heart knows me better than I know myself
So I'm gonna let it do all the talking.
I came across a place in the middle of nowhere
With a big black horse and a cherry tree.

I felt a little fear upon my back.
He said, "Don't look back, just keep on walking."
When the big black horse said, "Look this way,"
Said, "Hey, lady, will you marry me?"

But I said, "No, no, no, no-no-no."
I said, "No, no, you're not the one for me.
No, no, no, no-no-no."
I said, "No, no, you're not the one for me."

And my heart hit a problem in the early hours.
So, I stopped it dead for a beat or two.
But I cut some cord, and I shouldn't have done it,
And it won't forgive me after all these years.

So, I sent it to a place in the middle of nowhere
With a big black horse and a cherry tree.
Now it won't come back 'cause it's—oh—so happy,
And now I've got a hole for the world to see.

And it said no, no, no, no-no-no."
Said, "No, no, you're not the one for me.
No, no, no, no-no-no-no."
Said, "No, no, you're not the one for me."

Not the one for me.

Said, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You're not the one for me.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You're not the one for me."

Big black horse and a cherry tree.
I can't quite get there 'cause my heart's forsaken me.
Big black horse and a cherry tree.
I can't quite get there 'cause my heart's forsaken me.
