23 Jun
The end of this song absolutely kills me…Wait for it…
Vocals are from Nicola Hitchcock – formerly of Mandalay…this song is beautiful…
Sleepthief (Nicola Hitchcock) You Did a Good Thing
I’m still here
She was your childhood friend
All your heart you gave her
And though the times have changed her
She will always be homeLosing yourself you did a good thing
Truth never hurt you did a good thing
In spite of yourself you did a good thing
Truth will be told you did a good thingI’m still here
She was your childhood sweetheart
(So understand)
All of this trouble you feel
(Time can’t take her from you)
The time won’t take her from you
She’ll always be homeLosing yourself you did a good thing
Truth never hurt you did a good thing
In spite of yourself you did a good thing
Truth will be told you did a good thingYou did a good thing
And I’ll miss you for the longest time
Our lovely view was the best I’ve known
Tears on my face have fallen so
So long there can be no harder way…
Sometimes the way I feel about a song is the way I feel about a lover the first time you meet them and realize they are THE one or at least will be one of the top loves of your lives… It is this excitement -an electricity that surges through your body…This person comes to you at what seems to be the most perfect moment…despite what may be going on around you… That’s how I feel about this song as I re-discovered it today….

Pretty good post. I just came across your blog and wanted to say
that I have really enjoyed reading your blog posts. In any case
I’ll be subscribing to your blog and I hope you write again soon!
cool song, i remember listening to mandalay during late nights, such peacful music. i always wondered what happened to nicola. she’s way too good of a singer to just vanish.
Her voice is amazing. Sleepthief always has the smoothest melodies to their songs! Their newest song World Gone Crazy on http://www.myspace.com/sleepthief is riveting. I love their old stuff but their sound always seems to be changing and evolving into something better.
