When the Hungers Gone- Dido and Rufus Wainright

I love this song, there of course isn't much to say about it musically, its a pop song, I'm sorry. So of course the thing that drew me to it was 1) the lyrics 2) its rufus wainright and dido, two of my all-time favorite pop singer\songwriters.
The chord changes are very simple, but the diminshed quality kind of gives a feeling of longing and lonliness, which is what I think that the song is all about. I like the fact that its two people and they are singing apart and then together, because it kind of gives the idea that they are both thinking the same thing and this relationship that has ended between them at different times, and then them singing together kind of signifies them both really thinking it maybe at the same point in time.
There is a middle section of the song that modulates and its talking about the past of the relationship and I think its kind of interesting that the modulation was used there to kind of take the listener to a different place and time...

When the Hungers Gone
Rufus Wainright and Dido

Rufus:
I eat dinner at the kitchen table
By the light that switches on
I eat leftovers with mashed potatoes
No more candlelight
No more romance
No more small-talk
When the hunger's gone
I eat dinner at the kitchen table
And I wash it down with pop
I eat leftovers with mashed potatoes
No more candlelight
No more romance
No more small-talk
When the hunger stops
Never thought
That I'd end up this way
I who loved the sparks
Never thought my hair'd be turning to gray
Used to be so dark
So dark

Dido:
No more candlelight
No more romance
No more small-talk
When the hunger's gone
No more candlelight
No more romance
No more small-talk
When the hunger's gone
When the hunger's gone
Never thought
That I'd end up like this
I who love the night
Never thought I'd be without a kiss
No one to turn out the light
Turn out the light

Rufus:
I eat dinner at the kitchen table

Dido:
By the light of the TV screen

Rufus:
I eat leftovers with mashed potatoes

Rufus + Dido:
No more candlelight No more romance No more small-talk

Rufus:
When the plate is clean

Dido:
When the hunger's gone

Rufus:
When the hunger's gone
