“Northern Skies,” “Us 2 Little Gods,” “Never Want to Say It’s Love,” and “It Comes And It Goes.”
Dido has always had a deft hand for lyrics, but her newest album proves that even she can outdo herself. Safe Trip Home is exactly what it claims to be – a trip to the home, and to the very heart, of Dido.
So much of this album, both lyrically and musically, is personal that it makes the listener wonder if he or she is intruding. This is a welcome change from the more shallow Life for Rent and No Angel. Even though she did fast-paced pop so well, Safe Trip Home is a return to the slower styles of her older songs “Isobel” and “Mary’s in India.” This album might have been three years in the making and releasing, but it was well worth the time and effort.
