| Lisa Hannigan – Lille Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
In a recent interview with NPRs All Things Considered: ---...on "Lille," the album's lead single and last tune, Hannigan finishes with an a cappella moment. She says she wanted to end the record with that particular song, but that decision didn't necessarily have anything to do with the way she sang it. "It always makes me smile when I'm singing it," she says. "Even if I'm not necessarily [smiling] at the beginning, I am at the end. And it was the first song I wrote when I left the band." Hannigan was abruptly fired from Rice's band about 10 minutes before a show. But she says it was a long time coming. "We'd worked together for seven years," she says. "So it was a long enough time to be working with anyone. And I think it had just come to the end of its natural life, really." Despite the circumstances of its creation, Hannigan says that "Lille" is a hopeful song. "It could have been quite dark. But I think it's definitely shining a positive light on stuff, as opposed to a negative. I suppose you can't really shine a negative light on things, can you?"--- Just some insight into it's creation. |
