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

You’re a brown eyed beautiful boy
heart like silk I can’t describe it
Wild delicate joy
Just let me in and let me try it
Your voice thrills the void
moves the air with expectation
Leaves me enjoying
you

I want to write a song that you would like
I want to write a song that you’d like
And if I wrote a song that you’d like
Would you like me?

And how long ?
I’m wondering what else I might do
How long
Til I get through to you?

I want to write a song that you’d like
I want to write a song that you’d like
And if I wrote a song that you’d like
Would you like me?
