Dido Florian Cloud de Bounevialle O'Malley Armstrong (c-eniconˈdaɪdoʊ; born 25 December 1971), known mononymously as Dido, is an English singer-songwriter.

Following the sampling of her single "Thank You" on Eminem's 2000 hit, "Stan", Dido shot to worldwide success with her debut album, No Angel (1999). The album sold in excess of 21 million copies worldwide, and won several awards; including the MTV Europe Music Award for Best New Act, two NRJ Awards for Best New Act and Best Album, and two BRIT Awards for Best British Female and Best Album. Her following album, Life for Rent (2003), continued her mainstream success with the help of popular singles "White Flag" and "Life for Rent". The album went on to sell around 12 million copies worldwide and saw her receive more accolades; including the Ivor Novello Award for Songwriter of the Year for "White Flag", two further BRIT and NRJ Awards, as well as a Grammy Award nomination. Her third and latest studio album, Safe Trip Home (2008), received critical praise to help maintain her success. She was nominated for an Academy Award for the song "If I Rise". Dido has been ranked #98 of Billboard 200 Artists Music Chart based on the success of her music in the first decade of the 21st century.

On a very rare occasion do I dedicate three home-made music videos separately to three songs in a row for one single studio album until this one, which is by far the only exception, which deserves my personal effort, despite the fact that it is trivial and insignificant when compared with the level and scale of professional music videos, made exclusively for "Worthless", the music and lyrics to which is altogether composed and written by a talented and popular female singer-songwriter from UK, Dido, for her ever-first recording studio album, "Odds and Ends", which, however, has not been released officially back then, the time when this recording album was released some time in 1995, 4 years before Dido makes her appearance debut in the music scene with her studio album, "No Angel". The exceptional dedication of my own to this song is that it is the most lengthy song in terms of total running time among other tracks included in "Odds and Ends" on the one hand, and it is a song worth listening or looping for its dark atmospheric melody as well as many subtle musical arrangements sophisticatedly and delicately orchestrated througout the song, which can be described as trip-hop and rock with a touch of ambient texture in terms of music genre on the other hand. A complete set of lyrics to the song is provided as follows for reference and no copyright infringement is intended for the audio section of the song, in which I claim no personal ownership.

This song, "Hurry Home (Demo Version)", performed by a very famous British female singer-songwriter, Dido, has captured my attention for quite a while, so my brand new home-made music video is without doubt dedicated to this very song, which comes as one of the many tracks from a much lesser known recording album from Dido, "Odds and Ends", which can date back as early as 1995, the time frame at the very early stage of her music career when Dido did not release her official debut album, "No Angel", in 1999. This song is subsequently said to be one of the many songs never officially released as a physical CD album or digital music to the public, "Odds and End", the very possible title for such a batch of songs, was henceforth a collection of these songs as predecessors of much rarity which laid much foundation to many Dido's smash hits afterwards. The musical style of this song can be categorized and characterized as a typically British trip-hop and pop music blending with an upbeat modification to folk melody and an additional touch of soft rock and electronica elements can be found all the way through the songs from this exceptional recording album as well as this song, "Hurry Home (Demo Version)", which, however, does not lead to a prototype of any pop song, unlike some demo songs from the said the album which helps shaping some well-received numbers in Dido's literally debut album "No Angel" released in 1999 worldwide.

The series of my home-made music videos go to, this time around, "Keep your faith in me", composed and written musically and lyrically all by Dido, an award-winning and critically-acclaimed British female singer-songwriter over a decade in pop music industry. This track with an upbeat melody of blending music styles of electronica and typical British trip-hop as underpinned by the song is included in Dido's never officially released recording studio album, "Odds and Ends" , in 1995, well before her debut album release, "No Angel", in 1999. The complete set of lyrics is available for reference only and no copyright infringement is intended for the audio part of the song, in which I claim no personal ownership. Keep your faith in me Music / Lyrics by Dido Walking in today Feet in Rags No-one looks him in the eye They stopped and stared Had him dancing on the edge Shouting "I can fly" Never thought he'd needed someone before But it looked like he could die Spent his life thinking things would get better He knows he's running out of time Everybody thought he would jump for his life Everybody thought he was gone So keep your faith in me Keep your faith in me Everybody thought he would jump for his life Everybody thought he was gone So keep your faith in me Keep your faith in me He turned around This lonely man And I saw his face in mine Eye to eye as we stopped to cry Coming closer to the line Reaching to a hand, he tries to understand his life And sees this is not his time <b>...</b>
