Following my nose
A detective with no lead
Only my dreams know
What's got into me
I run by your side
But I'm out of breath
Lower than the sea
And it's killing me
And it's killing me

If I choose to go with the way I'm feeling
Does it really mean that's the way it is
Is it just a trick that my eyes are playing on my mind
Following the passage of least resistance
Following the pack just to pass the gate
It's a little late for a change of plan
Don't you think?

I got lost following you,
Following you

There's a camaraderie
In a number for my chest
Do this and do that
And forget the rest
But as the tide retreats
It's showing me the shore
There's danger going deeper
But I can't be here anymore
Can't be here anymore

If I choose to go with the way I'm feeling
Does it really mean that's the way it is
Is it just a trick that my eyes are playing on my mind
Following the passage of least resistance
Following the pack just to pass the gate
It's a little late for a change of plan
Don't you think?

I got lost following you

What did I do that for?
Am I an idiot?
What did I do that for?
Am I an idiot?
What did I do that, do that for

I run by your side
But I'm out of breath
And it's killing me
And it's killing me

If I choose to go with the way I'm feeling
Does it really mean that's the way it is
Is it just a trick that my eyes are playing on my mind
Following the passage of least resistance
Following the pack just to pass the gate
It's a little late for a change of plan
Don't you think?

I got lost following you
Time could have stopped
And I never knew
I got lost following you
Following you

This song, her voice, sounds a lot like Vienna Tang to me.  Aside from that, KT Tunstall knocked it out of the park on this one. The melody, her spot-on voice, tone, words, and how the song flows, are all beautiful.

Instead of concentrating cynically on what you think is missing in the track, why don't you focus positively on the qualities it has? Is that not a better idea? She's a good singer and songwriter. I for one don't appreciate your negativity. Especially that low down shit.

After seeing the post from fredriley I couldn't resist using one of the greatest literary references for everyday speech.  I wasn't aware of the "Shanty of the Whale"; thanks for the pointer.  I agree with what you say.  I'd add that lyrically it's a very smart song.  I think she's one those artists who really benefits from songs that push her voice to the front and are stripped down musically.  Unfortunately, some of her really smart lyrics get lost, IMHO, with overly-produced, "pop"y releases.

She's known for being a singer and guitarist but on her recent solo tour she performed this track on the piano. I'm not ashamed to say it was one of the most moving performances I've ever had the privilege to enjoy.

If you think she's just another singer/songwriter, with the greatest of respect and without prejudice, you couldn't be more wrong. (And that voice! Such a voice.)

No synth, no over-production, no nothin' - just pure KT. I'm a real fan of the old KT of those albums, and not so much of a fan of her new MOR-ish incarnation. She just doesn't come across with the same feeling as she did before. IMO.

Back in the 60s you could hear the Stones, the Beatles, the Who, Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, Motown artists, and all kind of other stuff on Top 40 radio in addition to pop and "bubblegum" music.  I didn't consider the airwaves cluttered at all.

I know nothing, at present, about the cover of album Tiger. But I like it, is much more "in line" with the profile of the person of KT. There is explicit that it is a picture of KT, but may be even younger. But then, I might add that after the inappropriate and tasteless cover of the album "Drastic Frantastic" which transports us to an environment style "tabloid-fashion ", which in no way favors the artist. It was time to simplify things. Sometimes, more you want to do a "dummy " very elaborate, worse, i think. 
About Studio Albums: 2004: Eye to the Telescope,  2007: Drastic Fantastic,  2010: Tiger Suit. I think that's a sensible and prudent artist KT, not give the impulse to "bill in a hurry", or by pressure from publishers to monetize success (to monetize the fish!), but let the projects mature, give it time. Sometimes creativity takes time, meditation, and then the ideas come with  work. So I think how very important these time intervals, ie in the case of KT, the third in three years. Creating music and songs, this is not making soaps with various flavors ......

I saw The Beatles when I WAS 12! First concert. Birthday present from my Dad. Ticket's were $6 if memory serves me well. Older brother got conned into taking me, as long as Dad bought a ticket for his girlfriend to come along. He wouldn't let me sit w/them either. 12 yrs old in a stadium alone basically, screaming my head off to the most magical of mystery tours I've been on. Still blown away by the band 45 yrs later. Kept every thing from the concert too, the banner, the color photo album book, and the ticket stub. Good times.
btw-I really enjoy KT

Interesting question, I guess my present perspective to teeny bopper music is slighlty akin to this sounds in this song, but most likely this song will hold up much better over time...

I love KT ... I gather you don't listen much.

She never gets much play on over the air radio, but if Drastic Fantastic had come out in the mid 90s, it would have produced a string of top 10 singles. 
 
I've got her first two CDs and have grown to love them, but from what I've heard of this on RP I'm not as taken with the latest CD. It's very polished and well-produced, and I hope it brings her commercial success, but she's gone a bit too MOR for my liking. I'll buy the CD as it's nice enough, but it isn't special as her earlier CDs were. 6 from the Nottingham jury.

Posted 13 years ago by fredriley    [ Reply ]

Completely ignoring the very clever and incisive lyrics KT's songs usually have, I love this piece. So many hidden meanings - as someone else said, more layers of the onion.

Musically, the track slowly and lovingly wraps itself round you and gently squeezes. I adore the way it slowly but steadily builds to a more upbeat middle section before doing the inverse, delicately slowing to a plaintive ending.

But then, I'll ne'er hear a bad word said about any of her songs - one of my all-time favourite artists. Cracking choice.

This is the first track I've heard from KT's new album, and it sounds more commercial and poppy than her previous albums. Which is not necessarily a good thing. I read a few interviews with her where she said she'd gone on some Antarctic trip with a bunch of pop biggies and had had a big crisis of confidence that she was just some wee lass from the backwoods of Fife, and she resolved to become more 'professional' and better-dressed. Which is an awful shame, as she was damn good as a wee lass from the Fife backwoods. This is nice enough, but doesn't have the emotional spark of her previous albums. Still, let's suspend judgement on the CD until a few more numbers are heard. An initial 6 from the Nottingham jury.
 
I love KT ... I gather you don't listen much. She is attempting something different here, but her other albums are absolutely as commercial and 'poppy' as this one, which is to say, not at all by the current definition of commercial pop. She never gets much play on over the air radio, but if Drastic Fantastic had come out in the mid 90s, it would have produced a string of top 10 singles.

This is the first track I've heard from KT's new album, and it sounds more commercial and poppy than her previous albums. Which is not necessarily a good thing. I read a few interviews with her where she said she'd gone on some Antarctic trip with a bunch of pop biggies and had had a big crisis of confidence that she was just some wee lass from the backwoods of Fife, and she resolved to become more 'professional' and better-dressed. Which is an awful shame, as she was damn good as a wee lass from the Fife backwoods. This is nice enough, but doesn't have the emotional spark of her previous albums. Still, let's suspend judgement on the CD until a few more numbers are heard. An initial 6 from the Nottingham jury.

It's an amazing song... but it's no fun that it's already been added from someone else while my upload still remains on the LRC {#Neutral}
