| Dido – Northern Skies Lyrics | 17 years ago |

If I'm not mistaken, this is actually a cover. The lyrics are almost identical to a song by Paolo Nutini, a song which is pretty much unknown because it's the hidden track on his debut studio album ("These Streets"). Look it up on youtube. Dido's version is much better in my opinion, I'm just rather surprised no-one seems to have noticed this is not exactly an original song by her. |

No, it's not. Just by reading the lyrics you'd know this couldn't be a song by Dido in a million years. This song is by the band HIM. And it's called 'Play Dead'. |

| Dido – Give Me Strength Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Yeah, it's really unfortunate that it's such a rare song. I, for one, think that this is the best song on Odds & Ends (and many are really good), so I really regret not finding it sooner. Personally, I'd love to see this song see the light officially at some point, as a B-side, re-release, live version... pretty much anything would be nice. Over The Rhine covered it on their sixth album, Films for Radio. It's more of an attempt to reproduce the song. Instrumentally it sounds almost exactly the same, and the vocals are sung in a way that really resemble the original. |

| I hear this song appears as a bonus track on one of the japanese editions of No Angel (along with 'Take My Hand' & 'Me'). | |
| Dido – Paris Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This song comes as a B-Side on the White Flag single. I think it's about someone the singer was romantically involved with and spent time with in Paris, but they had a fight or something and then she just never heard of him again, and now misses him. Good song. |
