"I'm having a lot of fun making this record"
12.01.2010
Did you deliberately decide to make this album hark back to your electronic roots, or did it just turn out that way?
As with everything I've done, it just turned out that way. I'm not good at planning these things out or thinking too far ahead. I never have been. Part of it is I just make the music I want to listen to at that particular time and the other part is that I'd put a new logic program on my computer last year and was really enjoying playing with it at home and the record just grew out of that and all the inspiring sounds I could find or create. The difference now to before is that making the last album taught me so much about playing and arranging and engineering and production etc.. That I can really enjoy just being self sufficient and making records wherever I am on my own. It feels really good to get lost completely in my own world and create a new sound that way. Then on top of that, when I do get into a studio with Rollo or Sister Bliss it just feels amazing to have their extra inspiration and input at that point and watch the tracks transform. I'm having a lot of fun making this record.
When you're in this stage of the process, do you find yourself thinking about nothing else but recording? Or are you good at leaving it behind when you shut the studio door?
I'm not great at leaving it behind properly if I'm in a proper studio situation and I've always got songs and ideas going round in my head at all times. It's how I see the world around me I suppose. But I have good periods of time when I don't think too much about it as there's so many other things I like doing or learning about and people I want to see. I also get my best ideas when I just forget about it all for a minute and let my brain relax!
Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night and written lyrics?
I've dreamt a few lyrics and I've learnt that you have to write them down. I always think I'll remember them in the morning and never do.
Finally, what was your favourite book of 2009?
My favourite by far of last year was BROOKLYN by Colm Toibin. Really moving and engaging. I was gutted to finish it as I wanted to stay in that world for longer.

Do you find yourself writing silly rhymes and limericks when you're not writing serious ones?If you do, do they make you laugh out loud and have they ever been published? |

Thank You!bobharman, 26.01.2010
Dido,I just discovered your work in the last month. Don’t get me wrong. I did hear White Flag and some of your other songs on the radio over the past few years (and I liked them). But, in last month, I listen to and heard them…driving down the 405 late one night from my home north or LA to Orange County. Sometimes you have to be in the right state to really hear and connect. I found white flag on you tube and ordered your Dido Live (from Brixton Academy). I have watched Dido Live about 10 times so far with way too much wine. You and your band are awesome. Usually the radio versions are better. But, not this time…your live performance rocks!!! Then, I discovered you did all this good work years ago and there are no concert dates on your web site. So, I bought Safe Trip Home and started listing to it . I just wanted to write this note and thank you. Music for me has been on the shelf until recently. You changed that… Please go live again. I want to see you get that great talent out there again. All the best, Bob Harman |

Well said Bob Harman!GR1GAV, 28.01.2010
Great story Bob! Being a long time Dido fan, it is sooo pleasing to hear that you have discovered this amazingly beautiful talent! Heavily under-rated in some circles, but they are the ones that are truely missing out! I endulge myself with these wonderful tunes when i go camping in the wilderness, a warm fire and a few drinks, and these songs move to a different level of appreciation. Awesome!!! Thanks for sharing Bob, im hearing ya man! Enjoy! Regards Gavin Dobson. "Come to Fremantle Western Australia Dido!" Please!!! Have been waiting for years....! |

for almost 8 years now..maria raciel, 12.02.2010
i've been listening to Dido for more than 8 years now...so that could equate to several hundreds or thousands? of repeated listening to each track (and perhaps more so for the first album)....and i'm still here...it's amazing how one can enjoy listening to songs over and over again..finding out quite something new every time...it's not entirely the same experience every time, but it's always good...what else can i say... ^_^ |
