Im not exactly sure what has driven me so hard... Ive never questioned — KT Tunstall

"Well my heart knows me better than i know myself So Im gonna let it do all the talking."

"When youre on your own Ill send you a sign Just so you know I am me, the universe and you."

"I went down to London with the idea that I was going to do vocals over this crazy, crazy trip-hop digital beat. Within two or three months, I heard Hunky Dory by David Bowie and that changed me in one way, and I realized what I actually wanted was to have an E Street Band — individuals, not session musicians."

"Her face is a map of the world Is a map of the world You can see shes a beautiful girl Shes a beautiful girl. And everything around her is a silver pool of light The people who surround her feel the benefit of it — It makes you calm She holds you captivated in her palm."

"Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" is inspired by old blues, Nashville psycho hillbillies & hazy memories. It tells the story of finding yourself lost on your path, and a choice has to be made. Its about gambling, fate, listening to your heart, and having the strength to fight the darkness thats always willing to carry you off."

"Growing up in such a stunning landscape is inevitably going to have an effect on you, whether you rebel or whether you embrace, because its so striking. I lived on this rugged, rugged coastline with the North Sea hammering at the cliffs, and the weather changes literally every half hour. My parents met as rock climbers, so theyre absolute outdoors fiends, and we were constantly up hills and under canvas and camping and tramping around. Theyre very fond memories and something I still love to do."
