Counting Down the Days

About Counting Down the Days

"Counting Down the Days" is the second and final single from Natalie Imbruglia's third album, Counting Down the Days. It was considerably less successful than "Shiver" but still managed to keep the album in the charts for some time. It reached number twenty-three in the UK and number fifty-two in Australia. There are two versions of the song: the first one is the album version found on Counting Down the Days, while the second one is the single version found on the CD single. The main difference between the single and album versions is essentially that the single version is shorter, as it does not have a prechorus. The song's lyrics were inspired by Imbruglia's relationship with then-husband Daniel Johns, and the yearning she felt for him while their respective work commitments separated them. They would eventually divorce in early 2008. Johns produced the song. more »
