Song of the week: Portishead - Wandering Star
Well this week has to go Portishead, a band I’d looked forward to seeing and experience live for years and finally got too. One song that stood out was Wandering Star, it was really special to see Beth sit down in the dim light of the stage and just sing to that repetitive bass line.
It was a pretty haunting show, as Bree said to me “This is the music of nightmares”. The setting of the Belviour was amazing, the night sky and the trees were great … the cold breeze not so much. This song was never a real stand out for me on Dummy, but seeing it live was awesome and unexpected.
(Decided to include it from the Melody Nelson collection rather than Dummy)
