Dido On The iPhone

Have you ever wondered what Dido's website would look on an iPhone? Well if you go on her website you can see what they said. I'll quote it down bellow.

"We've tweaked the didomusic.com site so that it runs more smoothly on an iPhone (or, indeed, iPod touch).

You can view all of the same sections as the normal desktop browser version, and you can still login to leave comments.

The main differences include some layout changes, to suit the size and shape of the iPhone Safari browser, and the addition of a video page - it uses Quicktime instead of Flash, and should auto-detect your connection speed and alter the video quality accordingly.

Obviously it's best to watch the videos on a wi-fi or 3G connection, and they do look and sound great at hi-res.

There's also a preview version of the safetriphome.com site which has been customised for iPhone, featuring two of the films from the project. "

Dido Q & A : Part 3


Hey folks. Here are some more of Dido's answers to the questions which you've been sending to askdido@didomusic.com.

What one piece of advice would you give to brilliant newcomers like Duffy, Mika, Feist, Adele and many others?

Dido replies: They don't need any advice from me! They're all brilliant, self-assured, amazing, talented artists who I love listening to.

Your favourite place in the world?

Dido replies: The west coast of Ireland. In Conemara. And my bed.

I was wondering if you would consider releasing (and maybe re-recording) the songs from your demo such as Too Bad, Keep Your Faith In Me and especially one of my favorite songs Give Me Strength?

Dido replies: Probably not! I think these were songs that were early experiments that I then grew out of or wasn't moved enough by them at that time in my life to sing them anymore. I loved the Over The Rhine version of Give Me Strength, though.

DIDO - THE DAY BEFORE THE DAY



Lyrics:
speeches won't be made today, clocks will carry on
flowers wont be left in parks, work will still be done
people wont be dressed in clack, babies will be born
no flags will fly, the sun will rise,
but we know that you are gone

you who love to love and believed we can never give enough

it wakes me every single night, thinking through the day
did you stop at any time have doubts at any stage
were you calm or were you numb or happy just to get it done
i've lived my life without regret until today

You who loved and believed we can never give enough
and you who hoped that underneath we all felt the same
that was until the day before the day

I didnt get to say goodbye the day before the day
was trying to get to work on time, thats why i turned away
and missed the most important thing you've ever tried to say
i've lived my life without regret until today

you who love to love and believed we can never give enough
and you who hoped that underneath we all felt the same
that was until the day before the day

DIDO - NORTHERN SKIES



Lyrics:
I have returned to northern skies
where summer hasnt touched
the clouds that pass above

i have returned to sombre greys
of days too early to come
and too hurried to stay

i have left a million stars
and an ocean light sna clearly blue
i have left the warmth of the sun
and a million adventures not yet begun

for once there was beauty here for me
under the wide northern skies

and once there was magic here for me
under the wide northern skies

i saw trees and this dark as blue
heartbreak and poetry with deeper roots
and i know this is lonely country
and it leads me only back to the sea

for once there was beauty here for me
under the wide northern skies
and once there was magic here for me
under the wide northern skies

DIDO - IT COMES AND IT GOES



Lyrics:
Somedays I want love, somedays I don't
Sometimes i can feel it then suddenly it's gone
Some days i can tell you the truth, somedays i just don't
Only a change of mood, sun goes down
Someone says something too quick or too soon
A touch not made, one made too late
Armies of words can not hope to contain
That it comes and it goes, and i have no control
somedays i can think clear, somedays i don't
sometimes i can feel it and suddenly it's gone
somedays I am strong and somedays Imy skin's broken and thin
it arrives when it feels, and takes what it needs
and it leaves before i get to know
it's only a step away, moments
then armies of words can not hope to contain
that it comes and it goes, and i cant make it hold
and there's nothing i own and it breaks me when it goes

Somedays I want love, somedays I don't
Sometimes i can feel it then suddenly it's gone
Some days i can tell you the truth, somedays i just don't
Only a change of mood, sun goes down
Someone says something too quick or too soon
A touch not made, one made too late
armies of words can not hope to contain

that it comes and it goes and i cant seem to hold
and theres nothing i won an it breaks me when it goes
walking home, burnt and red
Sticky thin he said
