about

Kirsty has been in a relationship with a Norwegian living in Copenhagen since late 2016. The two met on an online dating site.

lyrics

Copenhagen

I remember blackbird singing
How I even stole his call to make a song
Lazy morning, light a candle in the dim light when the day is not begun
And your eyes were not quite open when you turned and took the covers all from me
Cold and naked in the morning
Making coffee in the morning
Copenhagen

Sun not bright enough to see by
Icy water, barren branches, Copenhagen
Walking out here in the city in the streetlights in the half light, dressed up warmly
And I pull you to my side because the world is not quite right, is never ready
And I know I’m not quite steady
so I’m walking here beside you
Copenhagen

There are bubbles rising gently in the cold cathedral air
and I rise with them
Always flying out to meet you, vapour trails and airport coffee, and I miss you
Maybe our eyes were not quite open when we set the stage for romance on the small screen
But I’m here, we have four days so let’s be lovers in this city
Copenhagen

Sometimes life will throw us diamonds
Sometimes feathers
let us learn to know what’s precious
With your arms all wrapped around me all the world becomes so trivial and small
And I guess our friends are saying ‘how can this affair they’re having ever work out?’
But they only have one city, we have two
and I love you, sweet Copenhagen

Kirsty McGee Manchester

A wandering maverick and spellbinding live performer with a voice that has been described as having the texture of smoke & velvet, McGee defies categorisation, to make 'hobopop' –“music of no fixed genre”. Her continuously evolving musical personality is proof that a freedom from artistic restraints can sometimes produce a unique, enthralling and original voice with a rare honesty. ... more
