BLACK HORSE & THE CHERRY TREE

Nos encanta este tema y nos fascina la forma en que KT Tunstall canta y toca su famosísimo «Black Horse & The Cherry Tree» en directo, en el programa de Jools Holland, actuación que la catapultó inmediatamente a la fama.

Un ejemplo de cómo una buena artista, con muy pocos medios pero con mucha creatividad, puede escribir un temazo.

Well my heart knows me better than I know myself
So I’m gonna let it do all the talking.
I came across a place in the middle of nowhere
With a big black horse and a cherry tree.

I felt a little fear upon my back
He said «Don’t look back, just keep on walking.»
When the big black horse said, «Hey lady!» {When the big black horse said, «Look this way»}
Said, «Look this way, will you marry me?» {Said, «Hey, lady, will you marry me?»}

But I said no, no, no, no-no-no
I said no, no, you’re not the one for me
No, no, no, no-no-no
I said no, no, you’re not the one for me

And my heart hit a problem, in the early hours,
So I stopped it dead for a beat or two.
But I cut some cord, and I shouldn’t have done it,
And it won’t forgive me after all these years

So I sent it to a place in the middle of nowhere
With a big black horse and a cherry tree.
Now it won’t come back, ‘cause it’s oh so happy
And now I’ve got a hole for the world to see

And it said no, no, no, no-no-no
Said no, no, you’re not the one for me
No, no, no, no-no-no-no
Said no, no, you’re not the one for me

{Not the one for me}

Said no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
You’re not the one for me
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
You’re not the one for me

(do, do, do, do)

Well I was
Big black horse and a cherry tree
I can’t quite get there ‘cause my heart’s forsaken me
Big black horse and a cherry tree
(Big black horse and a cherry tree) I can’t quite get there ‘cause my heart’s forsaken me
