Stay Lucky - Only The Old Songs Ep.4 (Nerina Pallot)

Every week, I’ll take you behind the scenes of one of my songs, sharing the stories, songwriting process, and production behind the music. Whether it’s a hit single, a deep album cut, a B-side, or a track from an EP, I’ll explore what made each song special. If there’s a song you’re curious about, let me know in the comments, and I’ll dive into it for you! I’m excited to share more about the inspirations and experiences that brought these songs to life.

Finally sitting down to watch/listen. Another fantastic song and so happy you could rope in Rod to join in! Thank you for sharing such a personal story with all of us. ❤

Awesome - the back stories behind your songs.

I can totally relate to your son's traumatic experience - my first hospital experience was age 5, booked into a state hospital night before a morning surgery - not even a children's ward.

Hope your boy got over that experience with no after effects - and he fully recovered.

Still waiting for the actual song to start, well into this vid 😜

Agree with Rod: Stay Lucky is 100/10 album. Saw him support you at Bloomsbury theatre way back when. Thanks for sharing the story on such a great record.

Oh wow Nerina. Never realized what you and your family went through. Thank you for sharing such a personal story. A whole new meaning to this song now! Sending lots of love 🧡🧡🧡

Wonderful. Loved Bright Light Bright Light since he appeared on one of your ustream sessions in circa 2009(?) - So interesting to get the background on Stay Lucky. Would love to hear about Vena Cava on one of your future videos. It has always been one of my absolute favourites ❤
