This song is a strange kinda earworm; I'm not a huge Katie Melua fan but I'll happily listen to this again and again.

Incidentally, @Bill - it's Katie MELua (pronounced MELyouah, equal timing on each letter grouping but emphasis on the onset of the syllable! :) Likewise, KT Tunstall's first name is pronounced like the regular "Katie", not "K T". Just sayin'. ;-)

Pedant Englishman signing off!

two words. precocious. (ok, maybe three.)

The segue:  Meghana Bhat Running to this, most excellent.

Here in the UK it's used as the theme tune for a popular sports quiz show, which is probably a sacrilege if you're a fan of this band. So I'm kind of sick of it though in fairness it isn't a bad tune. I didn't even know who it was until RP ;-)

Dude, you aren't understanding Neil's voice and Bob's voice(s). Both of these guys have FINE voices. YOU just aren't GETTING it. Sorry to have to be so blunt. (sigh)

This sounds like something that belongs on The Muppet Show.

This is a pretty cool cover. What kills me about Bono, Oprah and their (red) products concept is that for relatively intelligent people they really have no idea how to help the African people. Curing diseases is a grand cause and all, but it won't help them get out of their cycle of poverty. The oppressive governments need to be squashed and replaced with a government that is focused on helping the people. The people need education. The countries need better infrastructure. But who really wants to support that when we can consume (red) iPods, (red) Converse sneakers, (red) Dell laptops and (red) Gap t-shirts. Nevermind that only a portion of the money gained from (red) sales actually goes to the charities. Afterall the companies participating in (red) still need their profits (and I'm not talking about Bono or Oprah).

Pure acoustic campfire jam goodness.

Even more annoying: I am mostly deaf in my left ear. No hearing bones and no ear drum make me experience sound on that sound quite differently, and this song triggers my instinct to turn my head to the left to better hear the singer constantly.

So I pan this one more to the right than usual..

Very appropriate song given the current climate!

hate hate hate this song. But, after the beautiful Pogues song, this is actually an OK fit. Maybe 'cause I feel like I'm in an Irish pub, and this is just the filler music in between sets. And, it's almost OK. Gotta move that 1 rating to a 3 or 4 now...

too repetative.
