Fyfe Dangerfield Debuts "She's Always A Woman"

Fyfe Dangerfield, front-man for the indie rock band Guillemots, brings us a stunning cover song of the Billy Joel classic "She's Always A Woman," from recently released his debut solo album "Fly Yellow Moon." The song, a marginal improvement from the first single to be taken from the album, has been kicking around for a couple of months now, but my local radio station are pushing it hard so I thought why not share seeing as it's a great wee tune. I think I can say, without any fear of contradiction, this is the dullest video I've ever screen-grabbed.
Dangerfield may well feel like King Midas at the moment, everything musical he touches seems to be golden. As the driving force behind Guillemots, he had a Mercury nominated album in 2006, and a top ten follow-up with the second, "Red." With self-proclaimed celebrity fans spanning from the likes of Keith Flint to Paul McCartney, this classically trained musician gives eclecticism an extremely broad appeal.
The front-man released his more stripped back solo debut "Fly Yellow Moon" earlier this year and was once again met with critical acclaim. Due to its impact, a re-release is out now containing bonus material including today's track "She's Always A Woman." The song was originally from Billy Joel's 1977 best-selling album "The Stranger." Lyrically, many people misinterpreted the words as being misogynistic or sarcastic, but it is a ballad, a love song about a modern woman, whom he falls in love with and then wife, Elizabeth for her quirks as well as her flaws.
"She's Always A Woman" provides the background music to one of the year's most pervasive advertising campaigns for the department store chain John Lewis, showing moments throughout a woman's life, with over half a million views on Youtube alone, Dangerfield has struck lucky again. The Dangerfield version, a beautifully song cover is now a top 10 hit adding further to his successful repertoire and no doubt earning him some gold in the process. It'll be interesting to see what the Guillemots do next, in the meantime here's that video for song without the ad.
