Bat for Lashes: Trophy @ Roundhouse, Camden, London 05 Oct 2009

Well done for having a stab at transcribing the lyrics for 'Trophy'. Forgive me if I sound patronising or pedantic (my middle names!) but allow me to suggest the following alternatives/ corrections: line 5 "They bought it for oh so much less / Than it was worth"; line 15 "Their hearts swelled to / Overdrive and mercy soared"; line 25 "Creatures of Mercy / Shoot shoot". Whilst I think my versions make more sense in the context, these lyrics are mysterious & obscure (adding to their enchantment).

Thanks for pointing out the mistakes. I simply copied the lyrics from the wrong source :)

Beautiful vid of a near perfect performance. Natasha slightly struggles initially in the low notes here, but still sounds fantastic. Since she can't have Texas' finest, Josh T Pearson on tour with her (with whom she duets on the album version), perhaps her keyboard player Ben Christophers could have a go at hitting the deeper-pitched registers? He's an amazing singer/songwriter in his own right. But maybe Ben reckons there's no real substitute for the peerless Pearson - a tough act to follow!

Your camera takes better video than mine. Well done! The concert was brilliant. I will post some videos of the concert as well later on.

Thanks. I'll check out your videos later - in fact already watched and rated one of 'em :)
