[OPEN] What are you listening to?

[nyj]

I knew they were risque sometimes but not that bad.

I thought the beginning of their Gutterflower cd was bad... first line, first song "ecstasy is all you need"

Well, maybe you'll be happier with my current tune then.

A Rush Of Blood To The Head - Coldplay

 

[epiclesis]

Coldplay is flipping awesome

Warning Sign is like one of the best songs ever.

I'm currently fond of X&Y (the song, the album is pretty darn good too).

If I had to pick one Coldplay song though, I'd have to say The Scientist.

The Scientist
Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you
Tell you i set you apart

Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions
Oh let's go back to the start
Running in circles, coming up tails
Heads on a silence apart

Nobody said it was easy, it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy, no one ever said it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start

I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling your puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart

Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy, Oh it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy, no one ever said it would be so hard

I'm going back to the start

 

[epiclesis]

That is a great song. My mom always loves it when I have it on.

I found A Rush of Blood to the Head better than X&Y... Coldplay always had a distinct sound until X&Y came out....

and can't forget their Parachutes cd, yellow was such an interesting song.

Coldplay is one of the only cds I can actually put on repeat and listen to... absolutely. all. day.

This Ache - Blues Traveler

This ache
That follows you down
from wherever you both came from
Well it won't leave
Quietly
It just waits here noisily with me

I turn to go but quite instead
It sinks it's fangs into my head
And gnaws upon me like a greedy bone
The fragrant scent of parts unknown
I try my best but it gets worse
And fearful of this blessed curse
The moon is full I feel my teeth
My instincts give no sympathy for me

All I want is to stay
Here with you
for at least a couple of minutes more
In your front seat
By any reason I can find
My right foot still dangling out your door

This ache
That follows you down
from wherever you both came from
Well it won't leave
Quietly
It just waits here noisily with me

The pots and pans and bare bones
Would have me feeling all alone
But never fear the ache is there
And calmly he pulls up a chair
And through the night we play some hands
While the ache he issues his demands
Yeah the ache he issues his demands
And I'm like Custer at his lemonade stand

And all I have is this ache
Just to see you again
Though I've got no pretext to
And hope
Won't quench my thirst this time
Can't you see that I'm aching for you

I go to sleep when I awake
In the kitchen is my ache
He cooks me breakfast ties my shoes
Puts in the time he pays my dues
He sticks a needle in my eye
And haunts me like some tragic lie
Reminds me 'till I bend to break
That I've been given the gift of...

This ache
That followed you down
from wherever you both came from
Well it won't leave
Quietly
It just waits here noisily with me

This ache
That followed you down
from wherever you both came from

This ache
That followed you down
from wherever you both came from
Well it won't leave
Quietly
It just waits here noisily with me

I usually only listen to music in the car, so right now I'm just listening to a cat purring and the computers humming along.

The Fallen - Franz Ferdinand

 

[Miss Shelby]

Who'd make fun of me if I said Def Leppard? I am not listening to it now, but I heard Photograph today, and I had high school flashbacks.

Yes that's the full title! Some simply refer to the song as "The Black Hawk War" however.

 

[nyj]

Who'd make fun of me if I said Def Leppard?

Me, of course.

 

[Miss Shelby]

Me, of course.

I knew you would.

 

[nyj]

I knew you would.

Too predictable, eh?

 

[Miss Shelby]

Too predictable, eh?

I don't know if you'd call it predictable but something just instinctively told me that you're not a def leppard fan.

 

[nyj]

I don't know if you'd call it predictable but something just instinctively told me that you're not a def leppard fan.

Nope, they were too mellow for me during my grade school days. Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath fan here.
