Kate Dimbleby - Blue meets Blue

from Things As They Are by Kate Dimbleby Band

/
  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Things As They Are is an album of mostly original material with words and music by Kate, featuring the upbeat anthem Chime, as well as a powerful setting to music of WB Yeats’s poem The Falling Of The Leaves and a poignant bass and vocal arrangement of Janis Ian’s Stars.

    With two other album releases on the acclaimed jazz label "Black Box Records", this is Kate's first original album. Kate moved to Canada in 2003 after the final sell-out performance of her tribute to Peggy Lee at the Festival Hall and was inspired to start writing what she now thinks of as her debut album.

    She returned to the UK and went into the studio with her band Malcolm Edmonstone (piano), Jonty Fisher (bass) and Ben Reynolds (drums) and the fantastic Nigel Price guesting on guitar.

    "The songs are performed with a shimmering vocal versatility... she has the musical talent and jewel-eyed confidence needed to guarantee an audience a good time." The Evening Standard

    "Dimbleby is clearly a talent to watch, blessed not only with a great voice but a real gift as a songwriter in her own right." The Sunday Telegraph

    "It was said about Fred and Ginger, 'She gave him sex and he gave her class.' Well, Kate Dimbleby has both already and it is a killer combination." The Scotsman

lyrics

The sound of waves like a distant wind soothes my hungry ears
No trace or mark of where blue meets blue
No space between me and you

Foam tumbles from a watercolour sky finds a shore unsure
Touch and leave ever questioning until
A photograph holds it still

Is this the unattended moment, where past and future reconcile?
I just want to understand
Hints and guesses all there is,
your words are succour for a while..

Beside these rocks we’ll find our place
Held tight in ancient stone
Embrace
The tide will turn
as voices yearn
to believe

The sound of waves like a distant wind soothes away these tears
No trace or mark of where blue meets blue
No space between me and you
