Thread Name: I sing songs...about dead people
Subject: RE: I sing songs...about dead people
Kate Rusby wrote a nifty song called "Let The Cold Wind Blow" (it's on "Little Lights") which is sung from the perspective of a dead man, who is seeing his beloved as she falls in love again and stops mourning him. Really a gorgeous song--kind of turns "The Unquiet Grave" on its ear.

Of course, Kate does that one too. I think it's a rule that every album of hers has to have at least one ghost song (and at least five "sailor leaving his love behind" songs :P).

Anyway, check out "Let The Cold Wind Blow".
