14 Windows (Single Version)

Songwriters: Katie Melua, Petter Ericson Stakee, Leo Abrahams

Licenses: BMG Rights Management (UK) Ltd.

’14 Windows’ is taken from Katie’s acclaimed ninth studio album, Love & Money; a stunning and personal 10 track glimpse into Katie’s journey over the past two years, released in April this year.

Beneath the surface calm of ‘14 Windows’ lie the deep blue sentiments of a song inspired by the psychiatrist who helped steer Melua to safer waters after her six week hospitalisation in 2010, but twelve years later would decide to take his own life.

“His sudden death last year was a huge shock, I don’t know how to speak about it, that stuff is so dark and difficult. All I can say is that if there is any choice at that moment then I’m sure we all would make the right one. He loved music, he had a guitar in his consulting room. I saw him on and off for 8 years and I often think about his gentle manner, all the wisdom he gave me and the strength he showed that I could have outside of record making,” Katie explains.

In order to raise awareness around Global Suicide Prevention Day on 10 September, any royalties income made in the next 12 months by both Katie and BMG will be donated to charity.
