Roughly two nights ago I was flicking through the music channels on the box and stumbled upon something rather peculiar. Firstly a track I hadn't heard before and secondly a track which sounded rather splendid.
The track in question was 'All I want' by Australian singer songwriter Sarah Blasko. The song centers around Blasko's hauntingly beautiful voice, a minimal yet effective drum beat and atmospheric string section, but what really makes it such a great song is her lyrical content. I interpret her meaning to be of her not understanding why she doesn't want to or cannot be with another. Her third verse sums up the mood:
No-one wants to be lonely,
But what am I to do,
I'm just trying to be honest,
I don't want to hurt you too,
When I'll be there I'll be there,
I know I sound confused.....But all I want.
I have now downloaded half the album (I was intending to download the lot but my abysmally slow computer and my short fuse meant I didn't) and I am looking forward to hearing the rest. I will drop a post on here as to if the rest of the album matches up. Any one interested in watching her up north, she is playing Manchester at 'The Deaf Institute' on the 21st November 2010.
Here's a link to her myspace - www.myspace.com/sarahblasko
