Song Of The Day!

Well, technically it's the song of yesterday... But I'm only an hour late so it's sort of okay.
Like so many of the artists I love, I first heard Hollie Cook on Jools Holland in November of last year and ever since she's had a place on my iPod. The BBC called her 2011 album, which was produced by Prince Fatty, one of the most enjoyable reggae albums of the year and Milk & Honey is a prime tune to kick back to. For something born in London, it sounds like it belongs somewhere much more exotic...


Every day in the morning paper you 
Look at the news of the world economic pages. 
It's time to laugh all alone in your room, 
If only you could shine through the darkness, Yeah.
Hey 
And the day and the night, you dine out 
So far, the reason you feel lonely. 
Hey 
You should try, 
You should try, 
The milk and the rice 
With just a bit of honey. 

Every day in the evening pay per view 
You see the boys and the girls, 
They wanna be famous. 
They talk and laugh, 
You don't care for the rules. 
You know that nothing 
Ever really changes, yeah. 

Hey 
And the day and the night you dine out 
So far, the reason you feel lonely. 
Hey 
You should try, 
You should try, 
The milk and the rice 
With just a bit of honey.
