The end of another month and this means another Thea Gilmore song for us Angels In The Abattoir. This month is another revisited song written by Thea and Nigel Stonier: Blue Shadow from Nigel's album Brimstone & Blue, reworked by Thea.
Thea describes it as 'a song of longing and loss.. maybe of a friend or a lover, but I remember very clearly when we finished this song that we both really loved its simplicity and ache..'.
I like the take, in particular the simple piano leading into the middle of the song, and it's another solid vocal from Thea. That said, something new and more upbeat would be great.
