Dido - Don't Leave Home (Live at Brixton Academy) 

Oh Dido, this is perfection at best 😢

Incredible to think that back in 1999-2003 Dido was the biggest selling female singer/ songwriter in the whole world . Her first album sold 21 million albums worldwide her second was a close second ...then silence , two more records , getting married and having a child ..we are now in 2017. She still shines like a diamond , her voice is crystal ...You set the bar so high that quite possibly no-one will get up there again ...

This beautiful woman with the most amazing voice will never know how she kept me together in probably the darkest time of my life, I'm 61 now and still get goosebumps when I listen to her, if you ever read this Dido thank you x

Dido voice is unique and so is her music. The melody isn't something you hear everyday, it's something you can listen over and over and set you off into another world.

My favorite Dido song...she's fantastic...and her band here are awesome!

So soothing, it's the presence of a perfection ❤️

I think that the brilliant thing about this song is that while it was written from the point of view of addiction, it can also apply to a certain type of unhealthy relationship. It describes a relationship that is very fitting to be compared to an addictive drug; on that on the surface looks very pretty and at times certainly feels very good (especially in the beginning), but beneath the surface is actually very possessive, manipulative, and overly clingy. From that "drug"s perspective, much like a real drug, this possessive partner is making the partner they're singing to form a dependency on them under the guise of romance and taking care of their needs emotionally and physically, but in the times when things don't feel good are when the truth of the relationship are felt but like a dependency on a drug, can't be easily escaped. So yes, it does work as a love song... Describing a love that just like a drug addiction, leads to ruin in the long run. Not the kind of love you should want.

Dear Dido, thank you with all my heart for this wonderful song.

goddess with angelic voice ... love you Dido ...

How I love the way people enjoyed her performance. Amazing!!!

i can never get tired of this beautiful singer her songs take me places,thanks Dido

I truly love this beautiful woman. Amazing musician, vocalist, song writer. 🙌

What a song i still play this song on repeat the whole day

DIDO, nome simples, mas canta muito, maravilhosa, linda, meiga, tudo de bom.

Fantastic song! fantastic perfomance!

No angel y life for rent execelentes discos de colección me.encantaron de principio a fin

I listen to her every night love her to bits

I always thought this was about her brother, just discovered it was actually PRODUCED by him :D

Dido, Adele and Amy Lee from Evanescence are the best females and have the best albums this century if not ever. Portugal here emotional in 2020

That woman is extraordinary beautiful.

It’s amazing how such a big voice can come from such a petite girl. Truly talented. Karen Carpenter was like that. Incredible.

Gosto demais dessa cantora e suas músicas

Like a ghost don't need a key Your best friend I've come to be Please don't think of getting up for me You don't even need to speak When I've been here for just one day You'll already miss me if I go away So close the blinds and shut the door You won't need other friends anymore Oh don't leave home, oh don't leave home And if you're cold, I'll keep you warm If you're low, just hold on 'Cause I will be your safety Oh, don't leave home And I arrived when you were weak I'll make you weaker, like a child Now all your love you give to me When your heart is all I need Oh don't leave home, oh don't leave home And if you're cold, I'll keep you warm And if you're low, just hold on 'Cause I will be your safety Oh, don't leave home Oh how quiet, quiet the world can be When it's just you and little me Everything is clear, and everything is new So you won't be leaving, will you? And if you're cold, I'll keep you warm And if you're low, just hold on 'Cause I will be your safety Oh, don't leave home 'Cause I will be your safety And I will be your safety I will be your safety Oh, don't leave home

Ke linda voz eres lo maximo

this is brutal

No matter what she said herself, that this is about drugs apparently, this song is for when you have a new/old friend & you just arrived back home, and your friend is leaving tomorrow, and both of you have been searching for inner peace and love, and for feelings too, and you wanna have them for the other, & for like 2 years since you last saw each other. And you both are lonely, and enjoy silence even though none of you 2 is readily eager to admit that. And you made a new connection, something new was created between you 2, and you talk, for hours, but texting only. And you wanna ask her out and this song is perfect for that.

DIDO SOU BEAUTFUL FA

better than the clip itself.

Viajo em pensamento com suas músicas e sua voz. *-* ♡♡♡

I always wondered what this song was about. I thought "love", but it didn't sound like a healthy love...

Canta muito

Damn! I’m addicted to this song! I’m becoming weaker…like a child!

I think am late to my comment but honestly am completed .. wat I can say is .. am in love with ur music.. #life for rent #white flag

As a recovering addict myself it all makes sense now.

Boy do I love her accent. And she does this song great live, I love her anyways.. lol

Gostaria de ver Você cantando (Steve Feldman - Let Me Be Forever), combinaria perfeitamente. Aguardamos suas novas canções este ano!

Lost my best friend 💔 ever in, the world 2 years ago, lost her friendship all down to a fatil bad mistake, she was my safety 💔

Tasting hear Dido, she's a queen, I do not know what to say it now looks only 73 MIL + display, very little for an unparalleled singer, now it was a satanic "illuminati", was already 100 million of +++ views (jessie j, rihanna, layd gaga etc etc ...) but it's true, people do not know what is real music, then we are here with our dear Dido. hugs

I left home, I had to 💔

480p? It's 2015, anything below 720p is unacceptable. This performance is great and we deserve a better quality video.

I will be your safety!

2024 is here

QUE DIJOOO???😣😣😢😢😭😭

Would love to see Dido team up with Sarah McLachlan .Make it happen ladies :)

2024 anyone

And if iu go... Your safety.

Brilliant version, better than the album track. Love how much she puts into it at the end. And how perfect does she look at 2:50 😍

Holy shit she kills it. This is better than the studio version by a mile. That was awesome.

Dido was our "Adele" of 2000's (only less depressing lol)...I'm a metalhead but Dido's music has always been on my daily rotation...

Still get chills listening to her and this song. Don't you love how a performer can Actually sing for real ? She puts Everything into this song.

This is a great song about either love or addiction, it depends on how you get the meaning of it. But let me tell you, this Live performance in Brixton academy is EPIC !!

Goosebumps when she smashes it at the end and one hell of a band the percussion is out of this world.

This is the best version of an already amazing song! Damn, this gives me chills

You don't hear that amazing tone to her voice in the studio recording this is amazing..

My friend Eduardo left the drug when he heard this song. Thanks Dido, owes it to you.

This Life for Rent album is one of favourite albums EVER!

She says it's not a love song it's about addiction. Isn't love an addiction?

Don't Leave Home always reminds me of a very toxic relationship I had. This friend had a severe addiction problem (in addition to other mental health issues) and I got caught in a codependent relationship where I thought of myself as his savior and that I'd be the the one to make it all better for him. Silly me. I had just bought Life For Rent and one night I was in bed listening to it. This song was playing when the phone rang and it was him, crying and having a major meltdown, caused by drug abuse and his own paranoia. I got out of bed and took a cab in the middle of the night, traveled across the city I lived in, just to be there for him and the whole time this song played in my head. I stayed by his side for many days and nights, putting my own life and needs on hold just to support him and help him recover. There I was, losing myself because I thought I'd be his "safety". Eventually it all fell apart, I wised up to his manipulations, and I could not listen to this song for years. I was a lot older, wiser and more jaded when I listened to this song again and discovered what Dido really meant to say. I was shocked, but at the same time made perfect sense. So this song was closure to me in many ways, and the coincidence between my situation and the song was part of a bigger lesson that I needed to go through... and for that I'll always thank Dido.

The girl definitely has a voice. Owned a couple of her albums for years, but just found these Brixton videos. Lots of talent there.

As an addict myself I understand this song so well... Basically this song is speaking through the drugs perspective, the drug is talking to the addict, and I love that.

El arte no conoce la barrera del idioma,me gustó ésta canción desde que la escuché sin saber su contenido,y ahora que la entiendo,me gusta más Dido,en éste corazón vives y no pagas renta...

the best singer EVER! It sounds even better than the recording in my opinion

She's lovely human-being.

She's Delores Riordan without all the issues. I'd love her to record with The Cranberries.

Ne parlant pas anglais, je vais m'exprimer en Français pour vous témoigner toute mon admiration et ma gratitude pour votre parcours ! Je ne comprends pas d'ailleurs pourquoi , vous n'êtes pas davantage diffusée à la radio ! En ce qui me concerne je vous écoute quotidiennement ! Votre CD "Greatest hits" est une pure merveille ! Bref, mille fois bravo ! 🌷🌷❤❤😘😘👍

i cried at this: "Oh how quiet, quiet the world can be When it's just you and little me Everything is clear, everything is new So you won't be leaving will you "
