SO Marti, did you get it? I am SO in love with this album, it's amazing! The only thing I'm dissapointed in, is that 'Pirate Disco' isn't on there... I loved that demo!

Yep, got the album last Thu!!!!!!!!! Yep, amazing amazing album... and agree about My Pirate Disco. I would so have put it there instead of Courting Blues, which is ok but a cover. Same with another track called Blurry which she always plays live. Maybe they're saving Pirate Disco for something else?? Check this live version of Lille on the Irish telly with Lisa looking fab and all: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjyDqcvv9cg

Yes, she looks STUNNING in that performance!!!
And she did very very well in the Irish Charts, went in at #3, beaten by Metallica he he but she did better than those Pussycat Dolls and Kate Perry and all!!!
I really like the album, I was expecting it to be kinda slow, I don't know why, but it's just the opposite, so upbeat, cannot help shaking!!!!!!!!!!
The lyrics are kinda sad, and the saddest ones are all soooooooooo about Damien, like in Teeth (Cant get over the bends in your brain and your elaborate pain makes me tired), or Sea Song (there's one man so bright he blocks the light and he'll always be so...he's like no sleep on the weekend and though he is like the sea and he's right to be so when i hold tight i sink down deep)
and especially Lille, which IMO is like Lisa explaining the whole break up with Damien thing. Notice that Lille was one of the last gigs they did together, just 1 week before she was fired:
"He went to see for a day He wanted to know what to say when he asked what he'd done in the past to someone that he loved endlessly... now she's gone, and so is he...
i went to war every morning i lost my way, but now I'm following what you said in my arms... what i read in the charms that i loved durably now it's dead and gone, and i am free..."

Just back from seeing Lisa in London, her official first solo gig in the UK!!!!!! It was amazing, she look stunning as usual with a blue sparkling 60s dress, red stocking and high boots and she sang like an angel as expected!!!! You could see she was nervous when she was addressing the audience between songs but that's Lisa The show was in a church, St John's in the middle of London, for like 500 people, think it was full!! They played the full album + Pirate Disco & Blurry and a bunch of covers which were all amazing: One Dylan cover (Tom Thumb's blues), the 'classic' Lady Is a Tramp (which was very upbeat) and the final song Free until they cut me down, which is an Iron & Wine cover and it was the perfect ending to a perfect concert!!!!!!!!!!! We waited after the show but Lisa did not come out cos she had friends & family... Didn't spot Sid either
