Coldplay - What If

"And no poem or song
could put right what I got wrong"

I guess this one's a bit of irony.. A poem can build bridges; a song can burn bridges. I suppose having differing preconceptions is where it all changes.

"You know that darkness always turns into light."

So we hope, whether it be providing light or finding light elsewhere.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Aeroplane

"..music is my aeroplane..
..just one note could make me float.."

I suppose the first post needs to reflect the URL and purpose of this site. To put it simply, music can alter emotions so readily. I'm not a musical theory buff who'll be able to tell you how a certain chord progression gives a certain feeling of closure, or how a song written in minor seems more saddening; that's not my aim anyway. I'm blogging about the feeling you get when you're reading through the text, and one line just grabs at you. Yes, you think, this captures a certain moment so perfectly. Maybe it's the feeling that someone out there has been in your situation, maybe it's the resolution provided in songs, maybe it's merely the headbanging beat in the background which spruces your mood up.. I can't really say.

People who've friended me for a while will have noted that I like pasting lyrics everywhere... my display name, my personal message, my facebook.. I've always wanted to collate them, so they could act as a footprint for my life at certain points. I guess it's about time I started.
