my favorite kate song. a beautifully arranged song with kateās usual whimsical wordplay and imagery and some of my favorite kate vocals. if i were to be a singer, this is the song iād cover on my debut album. the last 25 seconds of this songā the orchestral arrangementās crescendo and decrescendoā are probably what plays in heaven
When she says āI found a fox caught by dogs
He let me take him in my hands
His little heart, it beats so fast
And I'm ashamed of running awayā
It just gets me every time š itās so beautifu. I used to listen to this song literally every night from my dads iPod when I was little because it made me feel like I was flying in a way.
gorgeous. one of the things i love about kate is how innovative she is with her sound, creating otherworldly atmospheres ā a true storyteller, immersing you fully. i always play this one to feel more grounded. the lyrics highly resonate, too
all of mansourās works are gorgeous and so beautifully representative of the palestinian condition (pre and post-intifada) but thereās something about 1985ās āhopeā thatās always stuck with me, much like 1993ās āthe nazareneā (also attached). i cannot recommend looking further into mansourās works enough. follow him on instagram @/sliman.mansour šļø
