Tina Dickow - Dingwalls, Camden

Drawing with lights in Dingwalls : Love Actually in Lights
It was about half a year ago I last saw her, in Dingwalls in Camden. At that time I had just arrived in London. Now 6 months later, Camden is a place I know relatively well, and I am no longer that intimidated by the “Do you want skunk” question. I rushed there right after work, needed something to eat and decided to give the happy hour ?2 Chinese shop a go. I hoped my stomach would be happy for more than an hour with this, and I didn’t want to know how long this food had been simmering, probably all day. A large coke in Dingwalls takes care of most of the possible stomach disturbers. Tina Dickow is magical, her songs still seem to hit something as I found myself crying more than once during the concert.
It was a good night.
Here is a bit for you to hear
(limited availability - you’re too late …)
She is touring the UK at the moment, highly recommended.
One
One touch can fill a life of longing
Not much is so much more than nothing
Yeah - All you need is
One
An open smile to win you over
One single step will bring you closer
Yeah - All it takes is one
And when you?re running for cover
And you feel the sky falling down upon you
And when it feels like forever
Since you?ve seen the face of someone who loves you
Then one is all that you need
All that you need to keep you warm
Is all that you need
All that you need to move you on
It?s all that you need
All you need is
One

Had a look at her site last time you wrote about her - made me wonder why she uses one name in denmark and another in the UK. Do you know (now that you’re more profivcient in english)?

The only thing I have heard is that Dickow wasn’t international enough.
It might have something to do with the first four characters of her name in English maybe? :-) (I am just guessing but …)

Thanks for sharing this song, I had never heard her before :)
(I also did a quick search of the name and was intrigued to have found two different spellings, but I think your guess regarding the Danish/English versions could be spot on… :) )
