A newly-released song by Annie Lennox is intended as a wake-up call for the planet a decade after it was originally recorded. Dido’s Lament is an additional track on the 10th anniversary edition of the singer’s A Christmas Cornucopia LP. Lennox explains: “I see it as a lament for our dying planet. I’ve watched in my lifetime, the decimation every day.”
Lennox believes the pandemic has made the world “hugely reflective” these past trying months. She told the Daily Record: “This year has been a particularly difficult time for millions around the world. Many people will have lost friends, relatives and loved ones. Tragedy has happened this year, real tragedy.”
