Bitter Boy
Jul 11th, 2008 by oldfogey
Written and sung by Kate Rusby, from her last album “Awkward Annie”. She is accompanied by John McCusker, her former husband. Their separation was painful.
You can’t help reading the biographical in this song. The Bitter Boy is the one she gives her heart to. To her, he is indifferent but still he “came to take the gleaming treasure. He reached in my chest, deep in my breast and took the heart away forever.” A bitter song to a sweet melody.

I loved the performance. I felt throughout that Richard Thompson was about to join in. If the rest of the album is similar I’d best get onto Amazon.
