Dido isn't much of a talker if she's being honest

  • January 30, 2013
  • Sam Hine

Dido newDido doesn't really like speaking all that much.

This didn't stop the 'Us 2 Little Gods' hitmaker talking about it though (quoted here), noting: "Music has been my thing since I was a little kid. My brain just doesn't work as well with other things."

"If I look out of the window, I'll see it in terms of music," she went on. "If I was a good talker, well, I'd talk instead. But I'm not. That's why I write songs.''

This is sort of inter­est­ing so go on.

''I can't write if I think people are actually going to hear it. It would be like writing a diary, closing it and knowing that, imme­di­ately, someone is going to pick it up and read what you have written. You have to lose that. That's why, at the end of every record, I sort of disappear for a bit and shake that off.''

So now you know.
