I just want to feel safe in my own skin
I just want to be happy again
I just want to feel deep in my own world
But I'm so lonely
I don't even want to be with myself anymore
On a different day
If I was safe in my own skin
Then I wouldn't feel lost and so frightened
But this is today
And I'm lost in my own skin
And I'm so lonely
I don't even want to be with myself anymore
And I just say oh, oh
I feel, oh, oh
And I'm so lonely
I don't even want to be with myself anymore.
I just say oh, oh
And i'm so lonely
I feel oh, oh
I dont even want to be with myself anymore.
I just want to feel safe in my own skin
I just want to be happy again.

| bachbeet | Posted: Jun 12, 2010 - 20:14 Love this album. Love Dido. She was definitely not in the same group of female popsters like Brittany. |

| zaknafein (Kansas City, MO) | Posted: Nov 21, 2008 - 09:31 Don't think I've heard this before, kind of has a Thievery vibe to it. |
| hippiechick (Weekendland) | Posted: Nov 21, 2008 - 09:29 Love this album, and can really relate to this song. |

| coloradojohn (Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, Japan -- 15 min. west of Shinjuku, center of the freaking Universe) | Posted: Sep 19, 2008 - 05:09 Like this, haven't heard it in ages, sounds especially good coming not long after Talk Talk and Goldfrapp trippy numbers... But then see the elevation here is significant, it's 9 on a Friday, and Modest Mouse if already in the offing, love this interface. CLASS ACT, RP GANG! |
| EssexTex (Bee Cave, Texas) | Posted: Sep 19, 2008 - 05:09 Oh is it over...nodded off there |

What does a female CD look like exactly? |
| bizon (Vancouver) | Posted: Apr 14, 2008 - 12:38 Honestly, not OK. |
| highwindows (UK) | Posted: Apr 14, 2008 - 12:37 Help!. Earlier today it was Katie Melua. Once again like Dido I agree she looks cute. BUT and it's a massive BUT this is just MUSAK. Come on RP, what are these MOR artists doing on your playlist?? A solid 1. |

With a name like Florian Cloud de Bounevialle O'Malley Armstrong, it's probably best to stick with "Dido," her stage name. |

| On_The_Beach (Vancouver, Canada) | Posted: Sep 07, 2007 - 10:51 She's OK in small doses. Over the course of a CD she starts to sound bland and repetitive, IMO. |
| aronson (Red Hook, NY) | Posted: Jul 06, 2007 - 12:15 She melts me... |
| rexi (far out) | Posted: Jun 05, 2007 - 04:19 Confido Dido please! |

Made me laugh... and think hmm... I really ought to give this back, or just get the damn op. A good litmus test for an album is to put it next (use your imagination to save costly mistakes) to those of some of your favourite artists and ask: "would this lot still want to be your bud if they knew you respected this un?" The best comment I have ever seen on RP. Hands down. Works on so many levels I can't even begin to respond.  |

The songs were trite, too similar, and her singing never really went anywhere beyond a controlled, whispery mumble. I'm not usually this opinionated, but it really makes me crazy that there are so many amazing singers out there, and this stuff gets national recognition.  I personally like this tune, but I hate it when I buy a disc on the strength of one track and the rest is fluff. That's why I like iTunes! This has a nice Drum & Bass groove to it. |

| Spot_69 (SF, CA) | Posted: Dec 03, 2005 - 13:19 Yes, indeed. Dido is very sexy, very soulful, and I generally enjoy her stuff - macho bull$#!% be damned.
