Bloodflowers. Posted June 27, 2022 Posted June 27, 2022 Her best album that needs time to process its greatness, what would you do to make it bigger and more eventful? It Comes And It Goes should've been the second single and Quiet Times as third single with music videos She should've done tour and perform songs that aren't as deepy personal as The Day Before the Day, plus with the material from previous two albums, she could've pulled it off

She doesn’t go on tour to promote the album because the songs were too personal. Dido chose not to play live to support the record – influenced by the death of her father – because the songs were too personal. She continued: “When I write songs, it’s very private. I’m not really thinking anybody’s going to hear them. “I did some gigs and it was quite hardcore. I thought, do I really want to go through this night after night?” https://www.femalefirst.co.uk/music/musicnews/dido-282429.html
Brando Posted June 28, 2022 Posted June 28, 2022 Scrap it. It was too flat and a terrible departure from her core sound.
Julia Fox Posted June 28, 2022 Posted June 28, 2022 (edited) I think I would have just add 4 songs that would connect with the GP and release them as singles and then put 9 of the original record and then you have a perfect album balanced… maybe I would have scratched Us 2 Little Gods, For One Day, It Comes and It Goes and Let’s Do The Things We Normally Do and add them to a deluxe or maybe some international bonus… it would have been a very successful era tbh but I think she wasn’t that interested to have commercial success or even promote the album so it’s fine on the original record there was no chance to have a hit… Don’t Believe In Love felt like the perfect lead but it was clearly gonna underperform to her standards so… Edited June 28, 2022 by Julia Fox
reymiu Posted June 28, 2022 Posted June 28, 2022 It's never going to be a hit album The only diference would be pushing "Look No Further" as an official 1st single instead of "Don't Believe in Love"
Protocol Posted June 28, 2022 Posted June 28, 2022 I would've recorded an entirely new album for release in late 2005 produced by Timbaland and Danja, where the whole thing sounds like "All Good Things (Come to an End)"

Cefh Posted June 28, 2022 Posted June 28, 2022 Well she released a video for every song off the album (except the deluxe tracks) Don't Believe In Love was the most commercial song on it and she released as 1st single, yet it underperformed. That's was enough to conclude that STF wouldn't be big. I agree that Quiet Times wasn't a safe choice AT ALL, maybe It Comes And It Goes or Let's Do The Things We Normally Do (even with that small backlash I think it could maybe be a top 30 hit for her at least in the UK) Tbh there's no way this album could've been successful: she said she couldn't perform most of the songs, the album isn't commercial at all... it's literally the saddest album I've ever heard and she wasn't seeking success anymore. But in the end she served one of the best albums ever, I think i've heard it at least 200 times

I've read about it few years ago This track contains lyrics borrowed from the Irish folk song “The Men Behind The Wire.” The protest tune, which was originally written by Paddy McGuigan, is associated with extreme republican movements such as the Continuity IRA and the Real IRA and was once banned by the BBC. The lyrics in question include: “Armored cars and tanks and guns/ Came to take away our sons/ But every man must stand behind/ The men behind the wire.” Gregory Campbell, a member of the Democratic Unionist party and MP for East Londonderry in Northern Ireland, criticized Dido, who is of Irish descent. He declared to The Daily Mail: Given her Irish roots, it is inconceivable that she doesn’t know the background of the wording. She must know it was written about people who were murderers, arsonists and terrorists. She should clarify her position so that her fans and the wider public knows where she stands on these things." Honestly I don't know if it's just some SJW mess or if that's really relevant. We all know people love to have something to talk bad about
