Susie and Nick entering Narnia - Backstage at the O2 – The Vampire's Wife

On Saturday night my husband and the wonderful Bad Seeds played the 02 Arena. For me, it was a proud and emotional night. And later, backstage, we sort of drifted around, from room to room, in a daze, really, trying to find the aftershow party. Fortunately gorgeous Shammy was there to show us the way.

DOES THE SNOW LOVE THE TREES?

I’m sitting at the window and watching the sun spill across the courtyard and things seem suddenly full of potential and hope and good cheer. Goodbye Winter, Sweet Spring is here as I remember the beautiful words of Lewis Carroll.

GOD WALKS THESE DARK HILLS

Here is a beautiful, stripped back version of the old Gospel standard God Walks the Dark Hills sung by singer-songwriter Iris DeMent. Both comforting and strangely haunting in its imagery, this song was suggested by Edward from Wilmington, North Carolina, USA. Thank you, Edward and thank you, Iris, for this gorgeous rendition.

SAUDADE FROM CARLOS PAREDES

This song came through to us from a man called Ricardo from Coimbra in Portugal. This gorgeous song by Carlos Paredes is full of saudade and longing for home. Carlos Paredes is considered to be the greatest Portuguese guitar player of all time. Such a deep and lovely instrument, such a wonderful song, so beautiful rendered. Thank you, Ricardo for sending this wonderful song.
