“It's about gambling, fate, listening to your heart, and having the strength to fight the darkness that's always willing to carry you off.”

KT Tunstall (1975) Scottish singer-songwriter and guitarist

As quoted in "What's On: Soul's latest talent" in Birmingham Evening Mail (12 February 2005).
Context: "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" is inspired by old blues, Nashville psycho hillbillies & hazy memories. It tells the story of finding yourself lost on your path, and a choice has to be made. It's about gambling, fate, listening to your heart, and having the strength to fight the darkness that's always willing to carry you off.
