Thom: My new single is about 'Star Wars'
Published Wednesday, May 7 2008, 07:38 BST | By Alex Fletcher
The Scottish solo star revealed that the song's lyrics are about the lack of balance between the forces of good and evil in the world today.
"I wrote the song after watching Star Wars," she told DS.
"Star Wars is all about the forces of good and evil, so I started thinking about our world and how we've got good and evil, the forces of power and money, and the power of love as well."
She added: "I suppose 'The Devil's Beat' is when the balance of all these forces is tipped to the wrong side - in this case, the force of nature."
Thom releases 'The Devil's Beat' on May 19. It is followed by her sophomore album Pink And The Lily a week later.
