NERINA PALLOT A Psalm for Emily Salvi | New from a cult artist
Nerina Pallot long ago became a cult artist, which is why her audience, who she speaks to on social media directly, has supported her throughout the eight fantastic albums she has released, and why ‘A Psalm for Emily Salvi‘ is a tribute to those who have supported her and to the power of music in the face of grief.
Who is Nerina Pallot?
Nerina Natasha Georgina Pallot, was born in 1975 in London. She learned to play the piano as a child in a self-taught way, learning later also to play the guitar and violin.
She composed her first song at the age of 13, inspired by Kate Bush’s ‘This Woman’s Work’. At that time she decided that when she grew up she would dedicate herself to music.
She was discovered while working as an editorial assistant at Mute Records.
- Nerina Pallot released her first album ‘Dear Frustrated Superstar‘ in 2001.
- The second, ‘Fires’, came in 2006 to critical acclaim.
- Her next albums would be:
- The Graduate (2009)
- Year of the Wolf (2011)
- The Sound and the Fury (2015)
- Stay Lucky (2017)
- I Don’t Know What I’m Doing (2022)
- A Psalm For Emily Salvi (2024)
The British singer and songwriter achieved her biggest hit with the song “Everybody’s Gone to War”.
After a career spanning two decades, Pallot’s rich and varied catalog proves that she is an artist through and through.
I hope somewhere in this collection of songs are one or two that might be good new friends to keep you company as we head into the end of this year.

A Psalm for Emily Salvi |Nerina Pallot’s eighth and new album
A Psalm for Emily Salvi was born from an unexpected connection, a message Nerina received from a fan who told her that her music had been a lifeline in her most difficult moments. That message would be the catalyst for Pallot’s eighth album, an album that speaks of grief and loss.
- The follower who wrote to her recommended that she study the Psalms 📖 to heal her pain, something that would insipire the name of the album.
Nerina Pallot faithfully believes in the healing power of music in the face of adversity, that’s why she writes songs about vulnerability, about perseverance and about human connection, turning ‘A Psalm for Emily Salvi’ into a heartfelt dedication to all those who have supported her over the years, which are many.
Nerina lost three uncles and her sister in a short time, something that is reflected in many of the songs on the album:
- Pressure: A fantastic way to start a great album. 5 minutes of strength to overcome bad times and pressure.
- High Time: For Trembol the best track on the album, one of those songs that you can listen to twenty times in a row and still enjoy it like the first listen.
- Regrets: In the purest CeeLo Green style, Neri tells us the things he regrets with a southern and gospel style.
- FAFO: It stands for ‘Fuck Around, Find Out‘, a song in which Neri Pallot tells us that Karma is there to return what we do, so we better behave well 😊
- Carolina Light Up: ‘I want to light up, let the sun come through the window and feel the wind in my hair’. A song of hope.
- Madison: The song of loss. She’s probably talking about her sister who she recently lost.
- You Could Be So Pretty: Pallot Throws out a clear message: ‘there’s a million rules to live by, fuck ’em all‘.
- Lover: A beautiful romantic ballad about appreciating the person we’re with, because when they’re gone, we will.
- Hold My Hand: Curious song about opening up to love. A nice mid-tempo that gains as the song progresses.
- Call Your Momma: Another theme of mourning and holding on to your loved ones in low moments.
- And Here a Garden: ‘A Psalm for Emily Salvi’ concludes with the same theme of the whole album, grief and loss, but it does so with a positive and healing tone.
Nerina Pallot exercises total control over her music, composes all her tracks and handles the musical production.
By the way she is also a very close artist who always answers all her comments on her Social Networks and has a very close relationship with her fans, so if you want to talk to her, you already know 😉

Lyrics | NERINA PALLOT High Time
All the way to Joshua, we were singing in the back, singing in the back
Got the windows down, the devil’s on the highway
Fire on the mountainside, burning in the black, burning in the black
You can calm down, he said, “Honey, do it my way”
‘Cause it’s high time that you gave me loving
High time, boy, it’s been a long time coming
High time that you gave your love to me
High time that you gave me loving
High time, boy, it’s been a long time coming
You should give your love to me
Coyotes on the radio howling in the night, howling in the night
Fine lines, yeah, we’re dizzy in the darkness
Do you want me like I want you?
‘Cause I want you
Give me everything, not a sliver less
‘Cause it’s high time that you gave me loving
High time, boy, it’s been a long time coming
High time that you gave your love to me
High time that you gave me loving
High time, boy, it’s been a long time coming
Come on, give your love to meHigh time that you gave me loving
High time, boy, it’s been a long time coming
High time that you gave your love to me
Oh, high time that you gave me loving
High time, boy, it’s been a long time coming
You should give your love to meWhen you give love, you get love
When you give love, you get love
You should give your love to meHigh time that you gave me loving
High time, boy, it’s been a long time coming
You should give your love to me
Lyrics in Spanish | NERINA PALLOT High Time
Todo el camino a Joshua, estábamos cantando en la parte de atrás, cantando en la parte de atrás
Bajamos las ventanillas, el diablo está en la carretera
Fuego en la ladera de la montaña, ardiendo en el negro, ardiendo en el negro
Puedes calmarte, dijo, «Cariño, hazlo a mi manera»
Porque ya es hora de que me des amor
Ya es hora, chico, ha pasado mucho tiempo
Ya es hora de que me des tu amor
Ya es hora de que me des amor
Ya es hora, chico, ha pasado mucho tiempo
Deberías darme tu amor
Coyotes en la radio aullando en la noche, aullando en la noche
Líneas finas, sí, estamos mareados en la oscuridad
¿Me quieres como yo te quiero?
Porque yo te quiero
Dame todo, ni una pizca menos
Porque ya es hora de que me des amor
Ya es hora, chico, ha pasado mucho tiempo
Ya es hora de que me des tu amor
Ya es hora de que me des amor
Ya es hora, chico, ha pasado mucho tiempo
Vamos, dame tu amorYa es hora de que me des tu amor
Ya es hora, chico, ya es hora
Ya es hora de que me des tu amor
Oh, ya era hora de que me dieras tu amor
Ya es hora, chico, ha pasado mucho tiempo
Deberías darme tu amorCuando das amor, obtienes amor
Cuando das amor, obtienes amor
Deberías darme tu amorYa es hora de que me des amor
Ya es hora, chico, ha pasado mucho tiempo
Deberías darme tu amor
