Pixie Geldof celebrates her debut album launch with Strictly star pal Daisy Lowe and Alexa Chung
I'm Yours includes heart-breaking track about Pixie's late sister Peaches Geldof
PIXIE Geldof celebrated the launch of her debut album last night with a party at London club Basement.
Famous pals including Strictly star Daisy Lowe and model Alexa Chung turned up to support the fledgling singer-songwriter, as well as her music legend dad Bob Geldof and big sis Fifi Trixibelle.
Pixie, who has also worked as a model and sang in under-the-radar band Violet, has released her own collection of love songs, I'm Yours.
The album includes a track about Pixie's late sister Peaches, who died of a heroin overdose at the age of 25 in 2014.
The song is called Twin Thing and includes the heart-breaking lyrics: "Wish I'd know you like my own skin/So I could feel the hurt you were in/Wish we had that twin thing" and "Thought I would know at the first sign/That you'd started giving in/Always the first in the water/Now you were just too tired to swim".
Twin Thing, by Pixie Geldof — full lyrics
Into the wave where you're going
I watch you falling down
I knew you better before this
But never like I knew myself
Wish I'd known you like my own skin
So I could feel the hurt you were in
Wish we had that twin thing
For now, so long
I hope it's not forever
I hope it's not forever
Wherever you are going
Hope it's heavenly to you forever
Hope it's heavenly to you forever
Thought I would know at the first sign
That you'd started giving in
Always the first in the water
Now you were just too tired to swim
Wish I could feel it for you
But wishes won't do anything
Wish we had that twin thing
For now, so long
I hope it's not forever
I hope it's not forever
Wherever you are going
Hope it's heavenly to you forever
Hope it's heavenly to you forever
I see you in every dream that I have
I see you through lying awake knowing
I missed it, oh
Knowing I let you down
With nothing to be done now
For now, so long
I hope it's not forever
I hope it's not forever
Wherever you are going
Hope it's heavenly to you forever
Hope it's heavenly to you forever
In a statement about the album, Pixie said: "I’m Yours represents every single human I’ve ever loved in my life.
"Songs of love in every form, platonically, family, in romance. I’m a part of these people’s lives and I’m theirs in any capacity they need me."
