This Celtic-influenced track is about Dido's beloved Irish father William, who died in 2006. When William was on his deathbed, Dido was by his side singing the traditional Irish song "Raglan Road," which is believed to have been written about a relative of his. It contains the lyrics: On Grafton Street in November We tripped lightly along the ledge Of a deep ravine where can be seen The worst of passions pledged
This six-minute lament for Dido's late father was co-written with Brian Eno (U2, Coldplay, etc) and Dido's brother Rollo, who is best known as a member of the British electronic group Faithless.
This features the English singer's favorite percussionist Mick Fleetwood on drums.
