“This one is about meeting someone for the very first time and chatting her up on the streets of Soho and thinking I’d closed the deal and she got in the taxi and went home.” – Damian Lewis
We are getting very close now.
With Damian’s new single “Sweet Chaos” finally here and the album with the same title coming in June, the excitement is building. We’re in that waiting period— in the very best way.
So while we wait for the album to drop, we’re continuing our “Song of the Week” series, going back to the songs Damian has written and the stories behind them. And this week’s song takes us to Soho… because, after all, it takes two to tango 🙂
What sounds like a playful Soho story turns out to be the first chapter of a love story. And before I get to unpacking this song for you, if you missed the previous “Song of the Week” posts, you can catch up with them here.
I love the playful storytelling in Damian’s songs, and Soho Tango is no exception. Boy meets girl, boy flirts with girl, boy does not get the girl… 🙂

I said, “Why?”
But you had flown
You said, “‘Cause I ain’t in love with you” Continue reading “Damian Lewis’ Song of the Week: Soho Tango”
