The Nicest Thing

The Nicest Thing - Kate Nash

You know, sometimes you hear song and it stops you in your tracks, there is an instant wow factor and you just have to listen to it again and again.

Well none of Kate Nash's singles have had that effect on me, although she seems to have a real knack for creating a solid hooks that have been getting stuck in my head for days at a time. There's an elegance in the simplicty of music and a cockiness in the way she deliver's her lyrics.

The Nicest Thing is a stripped down, acoustic guitar driven, meloncholic little track that hs really stood the test of repeated listens, and right now, as I watch the rain drip down the windows of my office it seems almost perfect. The killer line for me is I wish that you wanted me/I wish that you knew when I said two sugars, actually I meant three. but throughout the track every word seems delicate and constructed in a way that you can't empathise enough with each one. With every listen my heart breaks in the most beautiful way.
