Devil You Know (released 27th March 2020)
Songwriters – Megan O’Neill, Jake Morrell
Relationships are hard as we all well know, and there are lots of bumps along the way that can leave you wondering if you’re actually happy. But the song concludes with the knowledge that actually, the singer is happy with the Devil she knows, even if she might be intrigued by the unknown.
I could wash my hands of you
Move on to the next new thing
We curse and fight 'til you feel that you've got it right
What's the use, in me sayin' anything at all
I walk these streets and every damn guy that I see
I wonder, if he could do a better job than you
he's so much younger, I wouldn't even have to think it through
But there's no doubt in my mind, it's just a matter of time,
Before the cracks and the lines start to show
So it's better, better the devil you know
Where did those young lovers go?
Watching dusk turn to dawn through the window
It used to feel so right, but now we're just ships passing in the night
Is this what happens over time? Would it happen with any guy?
(and still I wonder...)
If he could do a better job than you
He's so much younger, I wouldn't even have to think it through
But there's no doubt in my mind, it's just a matter of time,
Before the cracks and the lines start to show
So it's better, better the devil you know
And I miss how you once looked at me
But I know, how far we've come don't come easy
So I wonder, who could do a better job than you?
When we were younger, we didn't even have to think it through
Oh I wonder, who could do a better job than you
When we were younger, we didn’t even have to think it through
There's no doubt in my mind, it's just a matter of time
Before the cracks and the lines start to go
So it's better, it’s better the devil you know
Mmmm
Yeah

There is soul music...
and there is music for the soul.
Danni Nicholls deserves to be a household name, her music familiar in every household collection.
For a live album to pack this much of a punch says so much about the artist.
Her songwriting. Her beautiful voice. Her self confessed vulnerability and fragility.
This truly is a piece of musical art. Brian Doig
