| Imogen Heap – Come Here Boy Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| Imogen came to my local radio station a few years ago ... and when they asked her what the song was about, she said she wrote it in college when she had "fancied" one of her professors ... hmm. | |
| Coldplay – Shiver Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| This song makes me swoooooooooon! The end "and it's you I see / but you don't see me" has literally made me have to sit down ... it's so freaking powerful ... I don't know how else to describe it. | |
| Dave Matthews Band – Fool to Think Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| This song kills me ... I could listen to it over and over ... and I have. The music is rushing around like his thoughts - "was I a fool to think - the way you looked at me - was I a fool to think" I really agree with Merete - how your mind convinces you of things that aren't true, just because you want them to be. | |
| Dave Matthews Band – #36 Lyrics | 22 years ago |
|
The Listener Supported Version is my favorite - I love that they slow it down a lot more than on Red Rocks. The meaning of that version comes through in the lyrics "Never want to see you blue / never want to see you in the corner by yourself" and he asks her to dance with him. It's just a really sexy, happy truly danceable song - and sure you can sway back and forth to most of their stuff ... but you can really get down to # 36. Also, when I heard Everyday w/ the #36 interpolation on Live at Folsom Field, my mouth dropped open. It was INCREDIBLE, I nearly passed out. I was sitting there at my desk like, whoa! It was so perfect. Now, Everyday isn't my favorite song, but #36 improved it immensely. The only thing I hope is that they don't always play #36 live like that ... it will be nice to hear it on it's own every once in a while. |

| Coldplay – For You Lyrics | 22 years ago |
|
I thought this: "And the way You seem to flow Circumnavigate the globe" was this: "And the way You seem to float Circumnavigating home" either way, gorgeous tune. |
|
| Coldplay – A Whisper Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| It was hard for me to warm up to this song - and I still don't think it's particularly deep - but the words "look for me when I am lost" are so very desperate and moving ... it makes up for the shallowness in the rest of the lyrics. | |
| Coldplay – See You Soon Lyrics | 22 years ago |
|
"So they came for you They came snapping at your heels They come snapping at your heels " These three lines make the whole song for me. I love the way they use sort of old-fashioned expressions in their music (like "what a state I'm in" in Warning Sign.). Chris' voice in this song is so poignant and perfect. |

| Coldplay – No More Keeping My Feet on the Ground Lyrics | 22 years ago |
|
This song seems like an older version of Clocks - particularly the opening lyrics ... "sometimes I wake up and I'm falling asleep" remind me of "lights go out and I can't be saved." I don't know why - they just do. But the song is a bit ironic. Even though he's happy where he is, he's restless ... wants to get moving, take his chances. In wone breath, it's all "no more keeping my feet on the ground" and in the next, it's "i'm not gonna keep on moving." It's all very paradoxical. And well written. |

| Dave Matthews Band – Ain't It Funny How Time Slips Away? Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| This is a beautiful cover ... I saw DMB play it live ... and was blown away. I have to admit, though, my favorite version is the Al Green one ... check it out if you're interested. | |
| Dave Matthews Band – Love of My Life Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| Great Sting Cover - Dave's voice adds a fabulous depth to it | |
| Coldplay – I Bloom Blaum Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| I find myself singing this song constantly - it's so short and sad and beautiful - sad in a good way. I'd go so far as to say this song is as perfect as it could be. | |
| Coldplay – Amsterdam Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| Chris' voice just breaks my heart on this song ... not to mention his beautiful piano work ... oh, and Foo Fighter, it's called "Amsterdam" b/c that's where he wrote the song (according to their website). | |
