Embeds allowing bloggers to easily embed videos from Distrify. Just go to any Distrify film page or player and copy the URL. Paste that URL in any WordPress blog and it will automatically be converted to an embedded Distrify player. If you are logged in to distrify.com it will automatically add your affiliate tracking code to your embeds. Make sure you turn on Auto-embeds in your WP settings and also make sure that the URL is on its own line and not hyperlinked (clickable when viewing the post). The plugin also extracts the still image from the film and saves it as the Featured Image for the post. This actually works for any Embed (not just Distrify) that you embed into your WordPress blog.

Pablo Nutini will not be denied entry into your heart. And let’s face it this man is destined to settle into the soft tissue of your brain matter like a thorny crucible. So when the needle drops and the song Let Me Down Easy starts to play make sure you have some Cognac (or some other heavy hitting elixir) close at hand to steady your nerves.

The song is lifted from the stellar release Caustic Love album out now via Warner Music. And if by chance your hands aren’t shaking too much by the records end call me on the phone and say thank you. Peace.

Artist: Pablo Nutini
Release: Caustic Love
Amazon
iTunes
Lyrics:

Let me down easy
Though your love for me is gone
Let me down easy
Since you feel that staying is wrong?

We are broken by others
But we mend ourselves
We take comfort in strangers
But I don’t think it helps
If every fool were a clown
I would be a king and not a clown
Cause love can’t?
Closer than our hands and our feet

But it’s lost on me
Oh oh
It’s lost on me
Your love for me is wrong
Let me down easy
since you feel that staying is wrong?
There was no sweeter fruit than this
With no taste of bitterness
It was so fresh and sweet before
But I can’t taste it anymore

I was like a man with no candy?
I had everything
But as long as?

Your love for me is wrong
Let me down easy
Your love for me is gone
Let me down easy
Since you feel that staying is wrong?

On a better day
we’d be waiting on our corner
Selling dreams of redemption
But this time you’ve gone your way
So I’ll go mine
Out of sight, out of love, out of time

Your love for me is wrong
Let me down easy
Your love for me is gone
Let me down easy
Since you feel that staying is wrong?

Let me down easy

writers: Paolo Nutini
