Sand in My Shoes

About Sand in My Shoes

"Sand In My Shoes" is the fourth and final single from Dido's second album, Life for Rent. The single under-performed in the United Kingdom, reaching number 29 on the UK Singles Chart. The lyrics describe a single woman returning from a holiday to the drudgery of everyday life, reminiscing about a romantic encounter she had while away. Its music video represents the song's plot, with surreal and symbolic images of a beach city and the partners in a house, playing domino sitting in the street and in a party, mixed with images of Dido alone and a truck unloading sand in the street. It was directed by Alex De Rakoff and Dido's love interest was portrayed by Erik Fellows. more »
