Paloma Faith is an English singer-songwriter and she hit the commercial scene around 2009… but she had been around for much longer singing soul and jazz classics and dabbling in a band while attending college. Although there are music snobs out there that like the indie folks more… I do appreciate the commercial pop music scene, because I would have never heard many artists otherwise.
I really like her song Upside Down – a catchy tune in cabaret old timey style. I sort of like how the song is about being different and encountering different struggles in life, but there’s nothing wrong with doing it your way and staying true to yourself. I ended up drawing a girl upside down with a silly grin… LOL.
Watch the video above and sing along with the lyrics below…
Angels watching over me with smiles upon their face
Cause I have made it through this far in an unforgiving place
It feels sometimes this hill’s too steep for a girl like me to climb
But I must knock those thoughts right down I’ll do it in my own time
I don’t care (care care)
I’m half way there (nowhere)
On a road that leads me to straight to who knows where
I tell you what (I tell you what)
What I have found (What I have found)
That I’m no fool (That I’m no fool)
I’m just upside down (Just upside down)
Ain’t got no cares (Ain’t got no cares)
I aint got no rules (Aint got no rules)
I think I like (I think I like)
Living upside down (Living upside down)
Watchin people scurry by rushing to and fro
Oh this world is such a crazy place it’s all about the go go go
Sometimes life can taste so sweet When you slow it down
You start to see the world a little differently When you turn it upside down
I don’t care (care care)
I’m half way there (nowhere)
And I’m just soaking up the magic in the air
I tell you what (I tell you what)
What I have found (What I have found)
That I’m no fool (That I’m no fool)
I’m just upside down (Just upside down)
Ain’t got no cares (Ain’t got no cares)
I aint got no rules (Aint got no rules)
I think I like (I think I like)
Living upside down (Living upside down)
(Whoa Whoa Whoa)
You gotta slow it down
(Yeah Yeah Yeah)
But then you pick it up
(Whoa Yeah Whoa)
C’mon and try a little topsy-turvy back-to-front the right way round
Take it slow slow slow (You gotta pick it up)
Yeah Yeah Yeah (See you slow it down)
Hey Yo Yo Yo (Tell me something something)
I tell you what (I tell you what)
What I have found (What I have found)
That I’m no fool (That I’m no fool)
I’m just upside down (Just upside down)
Ain’t got no cares (Ain’t got no cares)
I aint got no rules (Aint got no rules)
I think I like (I think I like)
Living upside down (Living upside down)
I tell you what (I tell you what)
What I have found (What I have found)
That I’m no fool (That I’m no fool)
I’m just upside down (Just upside down)
Ain’t got no cares (Ain’t got no cares)
I aint got no rules (Aint got no rules)
I think I like (I think I like)
Living upside down (Living upside down)
