Coldplay – "Clocks" (2002)

2009/06/08

Clocks was stuck in my head today when I first awoke. (Although it could've been Coldplay's "Speed of Sound" too. They are both very similar sounding. I forgive them because I love them both!)

I'm old enough to not care what about whether I'm cool or not. I know it is probably not cool to like Coldplay because they are so popular and successful. I'm just not punk enough. But whatever. I was never one to let my peers decide what kind of music I should or should not listen to. If you like it, then listen to it!

Keane – "Everybody's Changing" (2004)

2009/05/13

A couple months ago my sister gave me this album and I listened a few times, unimpressed. But today this song hit me over the head. A few others on the album "Hopes and Fears" have caught my attention too.

I have noticed before that some albums need to sink in for me before I realize their value. I'm sure others have had the same experience. As I recall from my music theory classes in college, one aspect of what we consider good music is familiarity, and thus simply listening to the same song a few times may make it more endearing and likable in the future. I wonder if I should stop what I am doing to buy their two newer albums, "Under the Iron Sea" and "Perfect Symmetry", or not. I think I'm going to give "Hopes and Fears" a few more listens first and then decide. They do remind me of Geneva and perhaps Muse, so it is promising.

Geneva – "No One Speaks" (1997)

2009/04/27

I have several Geneva songs stuck in my head this morning. Who is Geneva? A band from Scotland with catchy tunes, thoughtful lyrics, and a lead singer with a unique voice. They are a band that should have 'made it' but their label, "Nude Records", blew it and the band broke up. For example most American's probably never heard of the band even though in England they reached the top 20 at one point. Most of the songs on their first album "Further" are of the same caliber so I had trouble deciding which song to post because I also had "Into the Blue" and "Temporary Wings" stuck in my head.

PS: Sadly the sound quality on the video is a bit low, but it was the only stream with the full song I could find. Enjoy!
