Teddy Thompson 'Looking For A Girl' Live on Soundcheck

Singer-songwriter Teddy Thompson is the son of legendary folk duo Richard and Linda Thompson, but his own work skews in a more pop-oriented direction. He gives us a sneak preview of his upcoming album "Bella" with a live performance in our studio.

@dannycarlin090 "Looking For A Girl" is an old Teddy song he brought back at fan request for this album, it was originally written and recorded prior to Teddy's 1999 debut album for virgin records, so Keith would have to have stole it from him since "Somebody" came out several years later. lol. don't be so quick to assume something

So cool, especially that he is playing on a classical guitar - I much prefer classical guitars myself but sometimes push myself to use the western guitar for keeping the style... Hm - but now I will think about it twice next time ;))

@merillupin Though it does owe a little to Little Richard's "The Girl Can't Help It" :P!

Like "In My Arms, " it's a pretty catchy song, cleverly the verse rotates around a few notes, plenty of repetition of melody and lyrics in the chorus.
There's nowt wrong with simple, immediate songs.
But I don't think I'd be listening to it in 5 years time thinking it was a classic.

@ bober: i think he's just concentrated - my facial expressions are similar when I'm singing and playing the guitar at once - and making an effort! ;)

It's unusual to find a good lyric coupled with a good tune these days, this though is one example.

see what happens when you put a rhyming dictionary in the wrong hands?

[dannycarlin]

Umm Kieth Urban - somebody like you?? rip off!

Does anyone else hate this song? I think it's a horrible single. I hope the rest of the record is better...
