Unfortunately, due to manufacturing delays, the release of Safe Trip Home has had to be moved back a couple of weeks. It will now be released on November 17th worldwide (November 18th in the US). We're really sorry about this (it's as frustrating for us as for you).

The release date for Don't Believe In Love remains the same (download on 26 October and CD on 27 October).

Letra Grafton Street

no more trips to grafton street, no more going there
to see you lying still while we all come and go
no more watching sunsets that seem like summer’s holding on
no more standing quietly at your window
no more driving down your road, wondering when you’ll be home
and no more peace when they all leave and leave us two alone

and time we always lose is finally found here with you
my love i know we’re losing but i will stand here by you

no more calling friends from the car, saying i don’t know when i’ll be there,
but i’ll do my best to come
no more letting you warm my hands, no more trying to take it in
no more saying goodbye for the last time again
no more saying goodbye for the last time again

and time we always lose is finally found here with you
my love i know you’re leaving but i will stand here by you

no more trips to grafton street, no more going there
no more sitting up all night waiting for any word
nothing’s left that’s safe here now nothing will bring you home
nothing can bring us the peace we had in grafton street

Look No Further

i might have been a singer
who sailed around the world
a gambler who wins millions
and spent it all on girls

i might have been a poet
who walked upon the moon
a scientist who’d tell the world
i’d discovered something new

i might have loved a king
and been the one to end a war
a criminal who drinks champagne
and never could be caught

but among your books, among your clothes
among your noise and fuss, i’ve let it go

i can stop and catch my breath
and look no further for happiness
i will not turn
cos my heart has found its home

everyone i’ll never meet
and the friends i won’t now make
the adventures that there could have been
and the risks i’ll never take

but among your books and among your clothes
among your noise and fuss, i’ve let it go

i can stop and catch my breath
and look no further for happiness
and i will not turn again
cos my heart has found its home

It's five years since Life for Rent, Dido's nine-million selling follow-up to 2001's 12-million selling debut No Angel, so you might wonder what's been taking so long. The answer, judging by her third studio album Safe Trip Home, is that Dido has been taking some time to mature, both musically and emotionally. Where Life For Rent was a series of snapshots from the life of a newly single girl (one reviewer called it the musical equivalent of Bridget Jones's Diary), Safe Trip Home is overwhelmingly coloured by the death at the end of 2006 of her father.

Dido Safe Trip Home (Sony) £12.99 Not that it's a gloomy album, but these songs are noticeably more reflective, their themes of longing and absence rooted deeper than the caprices of romantic love, and consequently it feels more serious than her previous work. The outstanding song of the album is the piercingly beautiful, Celtic-flavoured 'Grafton Street', a six-minute hymn to loss co-written with Brian Eno and featuring Mick Fleetwood on drums. Listen to it once and it will catch at your heart as a wrenching lament for a lover who will not return. Listen to it again knowing it's an account of visiting her father during his last illness and death ('My love, I know you're leaving, but I will stay here with you') and I guarantee you will be bawling your eyes out uncontrollably long after the album has finished. There's an honesty and depth to this song that you can't fake, even if you tend to the opinion that Dido's distinctive cracked falsetto generally has a limited emotional range.

But that light, husky sweetness lends itself well to intelligent mainstream pop, and this album has benefitted from time spent in LA at the studio of Jon Brion (producer of Fiona Apple, Kanye West and Rufus Wainwright), who co-produced the album alongside Dido and her brother and long-time collaborator Rollo Armstrong. Brion is also responsible for a number of the sumptuous string arrangements that swell the sound to rather grandiose levels on songs such as 'Let's Do the Things We Normally Do' and the first single, 'Don't Believe in Love', but Dido's own musical contribution is formidable: she plays keyboards, drums and/or guitar on most of the tracks. The lilting recorder solo that carries 'Grafton Street' to its haunting conclusion is apparently played on the same instrument she played as a student at the Guildhall School of Music.

The other notable contribution is from Citizen Cope, a Brooklyn-based guitarist, DJ and keyboard player, who duets on the laid-back 'Burnin Love', the grit of his voice providing a welcome contrast with hers. The nine-minute closer, 'Northern Skies', co-written with Rollo, is the nearest Dido has ever come to poetry, experimenting with little Irish vocal quavers and an expansive musical landscape that makes the more traditional pop tracks such as 'Don't Believe in Love' sound unimaginative by comparison. 'Don't say how proud you are,' she pleads in 'Let's Do the Things We Normally Do', another song that addresses an inevitable last goodbye. But this album is a mature and thoughtful collection of songs and a fine memorial to her father, who would have been right to be proud.

Dido answers your questions
Mon 13th Oct, 2008
A little while ago, we asked you to send your questions in for Dido. Thanks to everyone who did - and thanks to Dido for emailing through her first bunch of answers. More answers coming soon. If you have an original and interesting question you'd like answered, ping it through to askdido@didomusic.com. Thanks.

Hey Dido, I wanted to know what's your favorite song from the new album?
Noel Jones
Dido replies: That changes every day and is the same with the other records. At the moment, though, I still love listening to it as a whole piece. I spent a while choosing the order of the 11 songs I picked (from a big bunch) and meant it to be a bit of a journey and so I'm still just putting it on at the beginning and going with it. Songs change for me as time goes on. That's one of the things I love about writing - how a song can change its meaning for me over the years even though I was being specific at the time.

What was the last concert you went to?
Dan from Massachusetts
Dido replies: The last thing I saw was Laura Marling doing an acoustic show in London recently. Really enjoyed it.

You wish someday see the Earth from the perspective of that astronaut of the album cover? Why you choose it?
Alexandre, Brazil
Dido replies: I would definitely love to see the earth from space if I got the chance one day. To see pictures of the earth from space reminds me how spectacularly beautiful the planet is, especially when it's in contrast to the darkness in space. And how together we all are on the planet. How everything and everyone I know and love is somewhere on the picture. I dream about floating up there and imagining the sounds, silence, sunsets, the speed of the earth spinning, sunrises, the cold, the depth of the stars. Everything! I chose the cover as the picture is one I have loved for a long time. It shows an astronaut (Bruce McCandless) trying out the first manned manoeuvre unit and he is basically the first man to go out there without cords attached as far as I can tell! (Obviously I'm not the expert). What an adventure.
