what are you listening to THIS VERY SECOND?

Pair a, Pair a, Pair of Dice. You're just going through all the hit's. Those are good one's.

I've never heard that song before. ^ Nice lyrics.

I was out of commission in the 2000's so I didn't hear them until about ten years later.
Then I had X&Y and Vida on CD in the car. Repeated thousands of times.

X&Y is so haunting. I get all sorts of emotional flashbacks.





Square One ^


Is there anybody out there who is lost and hurt and lonely too?
Are they bleeding all your colours into one?
And if you come undone
As if you've been run through
Some catapult had fired you
You wonder if your chance will ever come
Or if you're stuck in square one




Talk ^


I can't, I can't get through
I've been trying hard to reach you and I don't know what to do
Oh brother I can't believe it's true
I'm so scared about the future, and I wanna talk to you

In the future where will I be?
Nothing's really making any sense at all, let's talk let's talk

This was for my dad who had passed away. ^




A friend committed suicide and they played O at her funeral.
That was another huge impact.

Yeah I like to discover new bands, and get into them. (Even if those bands have been around for like 20 years. ha.) Coldplay are certainly technically good. (Listening to Square one.) They have a dream like quality to their songs. They're very light and airy. Reverberation. Instruments mixed in kind of wall of sound. Are those synth pads backgrounds? It's maybe a guitar amp effect. X&Y is a good album, sonically, it reminds me of Verve. But more easy-listening. More traditional, acoustic guitar, grand piano. More laid-back. Less aggressive.



Hammond organ. It seems. I've heard this on radio before. It's good. I like it.

Yes, airy is a good word.
Cold open air and birds.
A boundless expanse.

I like the dream description too.

I remember when Gwynyth announced her daughter's name, Apple.
I know exactly what I was doing and where I was.
Then the parents' divorce announced as a "conscious uncoupling".
I love that ^. I was so envious. Wished I could consciously uncouple.



Swallowed in the Sea ^

You cut me down a tree
And brought it back to me
And that's what made me see
Where I was going wrong
You put me on a shelf
And kept me for yourself
I can only blame myself
You can only blame me
And I could write a song
A hundred miles long
Well, that's where I belong
And you belong with me
And I could write it down
Or spread it all around
Get lost and then get found
Or swallowed in the sea
You put me on the line
And hung me out to dry
And darling that's when I
Decided to go to see you
You cut me down to size
And opened up my eyes
Made me realize
What I could not see
And I could write a book
The one they'll say that shook
The world and then it took
It took it back from me
And I could write it down
Or spread it all around
Get lost and then get found
And you'll come back to me
Not swallowed in the sea
And I could write a song
A hundred miles long
Well, that's where I belong
And you belong with me
The streets you're walking on
A thousand houses long
Well, that's where I belong
And you belong with me
Oh, what good is it to live
With nothing left to give
Forget but not forgive
Not loving all you see
All the streets you're walking on
A thousand houses long
Well that's where I belong
And you belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea
You belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea
Yeah, you belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea

For Paul Emanuel

Yeah, I remember, very vaguely, the celebrity paparazzi following of them, reporting on them.
The hooplah about their babies names, and what not.
Of course last time Gwynyth was in the news, I remember was for non-music related reasons.
She's quite the entrepreneur.
