KT Tunstall - Maybe It's A Good Thing Lyrics






All this choosing-wrongs losing ground
Often feeling lost, has brought it out.

But I'm looking for a love, not a heartache
Yes I'm gonna take my time
Even though I know from the handshake
If I wanna make you mine

I am walking blind
Maybe that's a good thing,
Maybe that's a good thing...

...that I can't see what's coming
And I don't much care
Life will become one big stupid "Truth or Dare"
Maybe it's a good thing

Temper me with dignity today
Ever shoot your silver through my veins

Looking for a change in my make-up
Break apart and start again
I will ask a question
You will win my heart and then...

...I will send you a sign
Maybe that's a rare thing,
Maybe that's a rare thing.

When a light comes blinding
And it stops me dead
I'll always remember the time you sat next to me and you said,
"Maybe it's a good thing."

When a light comes blinding
And it stops me dead
I'll always remember the time you sat next to me and you said,
"Maybe it's a good thing.
Maybe it's a good thing."

KT Tunstall Maybe It's A Good Thing Comments
  1. C.... F....

    Brazil...

  2. l.... ....

    I want to add my voice to the very few who are completely disappointed with this change. Why, oh why, do even the best of artists fall into this very predictable trap after forty? Why are they convinced they need to suddenly be "glamorous", to step down and please and do it the way others do, precisely the opposite of all of the things that the fans loved in the first place? I don't except KT to sing the same, but I expect her to stay honest, and this- please forgive me if I'm wrong- strikes me as dishonest, uncomfortable, a compromise that shouldn't have been made, the beginning of selling out. Yes, many love it, and many will love it, but are they the true KT fans? KT has always been a artist made to sing live. Video clips just never suited her, in my opinion, because she's a song-writer who writes powerful stuff, words that you need to listen to, and everything else, all the visuals and the colors and the outfits and the dancing, is a distraction. She is an incredible presence whose power is greatly lost in edited recordings. She is a natural beauty- why, oh why, are women even like her convinced that they need more, that some remaking of the face at this age is necessary and inevitable, that one has to try desperately to look younger? Is it the US? Is it Los Angeles? No, it's not necessary and inevitable. No, I loved her simple and honest and natural and independent-minded and so fucking talented it brought tears to my eyes. She still is, but I second the YT user that said, she looks so uncomfortable, like she's forcing herself to be what she isn't, to do what she doesn't believe in. This has no fire. It may be good, but it's not fucking gold, and it is pure honesty that makes fucking gold, that makes all the difference between good and amazing. This is so disappointing it makes me cry, as someone who has loved KT for years.

  36. d.... s....

    I like K T Tunstall very much

  37. D.... D....

    Wth she should have been more popular than that f-cking Justin Gay. She sings 1000 times better than his shitty voice

  38. P.... C....

    BEST SONG SO FAR!! I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS VIDEO HAS LESS VIEWS!

    Try advertising this song on YouTube. It will make you very famous, I bet.

  39. F.... P....

    a melhor do mundo ahahahhaha

  40. T.... ....

    Stunningly great 5th album by Kate, she's got a winner with this album

  41. S.... S....

    I love it. Maybe it's a good thing.

  42. T.... K....

    Her voice is so pure

  43. T.... K....

    She's so beautiful, what a lovely voice she has!!!😍🙌🏻

  44. A.... O....

    A huevo pinche KT esto es lo que quería oír de ti :3 no las mamadas folk de Invisible Empire

  45. l.... R....

    Yesterday i hugged her omg!!!

    l.... R....

    luciana Rodriguez she's so appreciative of her fans. such a sweetheart. I'm glad you got to meet her. Met her a few times myself.

    l.... R....

    Yeah! she's such a sweet person and a humble musician I met her a week back in Abu Dhabi! she's amazing!

  46. C.... M....

    they always played this at my work . cool song, makes me miss my work friends :(

  47. a.... ....

    Love KT man!

  48. H.... C....

    I wonder if this is about her divorce?

    H.... C....

    I think the whole album is about her overcoming the sadness she had while writing Invisible Empire // Crescent Moon. According to Wikipedia, this song is about hard choices that turned out to be positive.

  49. B.... M....

    Great artist (with a real talent), great song, I don't know about the music video.. I think she need's a good fashion and lifestyle consultant.. Image is everything; talent is just secondary in this business, sad to say.

  50. P.... S....

    KTTunstall #thebestsongever!

  51. N.... A....

    Alguien tiene alguna traducción?

  52. R.... M....

    Only 150000 views of one of the top 5 songs of 2016. Just shocking. It's amazing.

    R.... M....

    Ikr...I'd say it's the best song released in 2016.

  53. R.... R....

    In dancing she's like drake

  54. L.... N....

    I always had a major crush on KT. It's a shame she's a liberal luvvie social justice warrior. She even disowned her stepfather for opposing white genocide and the invasion of his homeland. Such a shame. She also believes in the unproven religion of man-made climate change. It's funny how these artist types are always walking talking liberal lefty automatons.

    L.... N....

    @Claire Brennan Er .... the climate always changes. Nobody denies that. Anthropogenic climate change is the postulation man is causing an extra warming to the climate via emissions.

    L.... N....

    @Claire Brennan Then why do all the climate change believers keep voting for neoliberal parties? If they believed in man made climate change, they'd support deindustrialisation and regression to primitive technology like horse and carts. You can't keep increasing economic growth while reducing emissions. KT is an offender as she jets all over the world and has millions of albums and singles made, which releases emissions .

    I know bullshit when i see it. Man made Climate change is a secular religion many people use to forge an identity and signal their virtue.

    Most people who're most vocal about this issue support killing babies in the womb. They don't care about the future lives of people they will never meet, they care about being perceived as do gooders.

    L.... N....

    30 years ago they claimed we were headed for another Ice Age... there is no peer reviewed research that proves humans are adding to global warming or climate change anywhere. The whole "97% of scientists agree" is bullshit. Whenever you ask to see the proof they have none. I'm not saying I don't believe it--but for people to claim it's settled science when there's absolutely no hard research into it....it's intellectually dishonest.

    L.... N....

    Lawrence Newman I agree, KT's political views really are a shame. Gotta love her music tho.

    L.... N....

    Don't listen to her music then. She can do without people like you.

  55. V.... R....

    I love your music kt! Always your fan!

  56. R.... S....

    Essa música é maravilhosa! Amém KT Tunstall <3

  57. A.... B....

    I follow you from the beginning

  58. L.... S....

    Enjoyed the song and the video.

  59. S.... y....

    Great to hear a real singer with real talent instead of all that voice enhancing screaming shit. The real deal.

    S.... y....

    best comment ever....made my day hahahahaha

    S.... y....

    Oooohh that's soooo true.... Too much screamings... Hahaha

  60. T.... P....

    she is an amazing talent!

  61. S.... C....

    song is good , but video is not up to the mark , because of that less views . She has a potential as a singer .

    S.... C....

    She has real talent unlike some singers who sit there and lip-sync it.

  62. L.... M....

    For some reason every time I hear this on the radio, when I hear the intro I always think it's gonna be Kate Bush?! 😂

    L.... M....

    Good song though 👌

    L.... M....

    What station

    L.... M....

    I'd love to hear some real music on the radio instead of rambling

    L.... M....

    Rachel Fox sorry I just realised you replied! I can't remember, it was either Northsound 2 or original 106, both North East Scotland radio stations! Pretty good stations, a lot of mix of old and new songs :)

  63. J.... C....

    Lovely girl,,,,😊

  64. D.... H....

    I hear that millennial whoop in the chorus, but at least it is cool when she does it. ❤

  65. R.... F....

    One of the best songs released this year.

    R.... F....

    Nope, it's the best. I love this album too :)

  66. R.... F....

    None of her songs have many dislikes ;)

  67. H.... C....

    Almost 2 months and not even 100,000 views. That why I like her she is so underrated!

    H.... C....

    Aww, are you so insecure about your own taste that you'd rather artist struggle to make it because it has to be your own thing??

    H.... C....

    Deserves more views than 111K.

    H.... C....

    Troy Dazzle people with good taste in music rate her highly.

    H.... C....

    Tony Powell I love this song. I've played kt songs around other people and they're like "dang she's good" so I guess I have a good taste in music ;)

    H.... C....

    Rachel Fox you have very good taste :-)

  68. S.... R....

    Love it ! She has something that sends shivers when I listen to her

  69. H.... C....

    This is beautiful, I love how optimistic it is. One of her best songs.

  70. L.... T....

    I love this song, the chorus is so darn catchy! Nice message too ^_*

  71. J.... R....

    Best chart track i've heard in many weeks

  72. P.... S....

    the video that finnaly proves that KT can't dance, good song tho

    P.... S....

    Yes Paul I thought as like.


    Ordinary tree did you know trees genuinely do have faces

  73. n.... ....

    Thank you, thank you, thank you, Kate!!!!!! I was having such a SHITTY day and THANK GOD I bumped into such a gem of an album!! Please do NOT think of leaving the music industry ever again!!! U ROCK ❤

  74. K.... ....

    Great song. The more you listen, the better it gets. :D

    K.... ....

    all the greatest ones are like that :)

  75. M.... G....

    Oh the beats! This song is killing it. But the video is a little too mishy-mashy for my taste.

  76. T.... S....

    Looking forward to seeing you in Cambridge. Loving the new single!

  77. A.... A....

    *this is my favorite song of this album!!* ❤♥❤♥❤♥❤♥❤♥❤

    A.... A....

    Mine too

  78. S.... H....

    Those knees.

  79. J.... H....

    Just got the new album and getting used to it. Listen for 'Run For Home' which I think is one of the best things she has ever done. It blends together all her strengths in a compact pop/rock classic. Somebody is posting what sound like slowed down demo versions of some songs, and that's a shame, try to find and listen to the proper versions.

  80. D.... N....

    This video was made in 1970. Good thing the song is ok.

  81. C.... A....

    Channeling Kate Bush...

  82. i.... ....

    i love you, come to brazil <3

  83. f.... ....

    Great!..........(if you don't watch the video)

    f.... ....

    folginator Nothing wrong with the video impo. Why don't ppl like it lol.

  84. D.... J....

  85. g.... g....

    Makes the hair stand up on my neck.Great song a lot of talent

  86. B.... ....

    Good bit of Dad dancing going on there!

  87. M.... G....

    she is too fucking amazing !!!!!

  88. L.... ....

    Always on top!!

  89. N.... ....

  90. C.... o....

    New obsession *.* Come to the Dominican Republic, I'd love to see you live!

  96. b.... ....
