Katie Melua chats to I Like Music

KATIE: Oooh… Paul McCartney maybe and Paul Simon. I'm a huge Paul Simon fan.

ILM: Your new single, If You Were A Sailboat is out on Sept 24th, Can you tell us how that track came about and describe it's whole vibe?

KATIE: If You Were A Sailboat is was written by Mike, my collaborator and producer, Mike Batt. What I liked about the song is the fact that a lot of love songs tend to deal with the fluffy nice side of love, but this one deals with how you get very selfish when you fall in love with someone, and you don't want to share them with the world you just want them all about yourself. What's genius about Mike's lyrics is that instead of saying that directly he uses these crazy strange metaphors, "if you were a piece of wood I'd nail you to the floor" and quite bizarre stuff and I like that. Musically it sounds like a really nice smooth love song, but the message is pretty intense and quite dark.
