My Favorite Music

Those of you know me know that music is one of the most influential things that I have in my life. I always want to be listening to music or have something going on in the background while im working on a project or just hanging around at home. There are those quiet moments that I love to have alone to read or just think about whatever is on my mind, but music for sure is something I always need more of and am open to listening to just about anything.

One of my favorite bands is Coldplay. The Alternative scene for sure is my favorite genre of music and its great to know that Coldplay along with other bands have kept it going past the 90's. In the article that i posted they didnt put in it something else that i had mentioned in my talk. While going through getting my teeth taken care of there was a song by Coldplay that actually kept me going some days. The song is from their X&Y album, which is probably one of my all time favorite albums, and the song is called Fix You. Through all of my trials and frustrations this song really hit me. I felt like it was the Savior singing it to me just because it matched so much what i was feeling and how He seemed to be the only one that understood me. Here is the Lyrics

Fix You
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down on your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
If you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down on your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down on your face
And I...

Tears stream down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I...

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

For me the lines here at the end hit me the most. I will try to fix you. I knew that i needed to be fixed, with this whole teeth thing and other stuff, but there was a part of me that needed to work at it too. He could heal me, but he could only try when i let him.

So that song has a lot of personal feelings towards it for me. Hopefully someday i can sit down and teach myself music and possibly write down my own thoughts and feelings that could be made into song, but that really isnt something i can see me doing right now with other things that are going on.

For those of you that maybe like some of coldplay's stuff or are interested in what they are like, for this tour that they are on right now they actually released a free album you can download from their site. It has live performances of a lot of their songs and for sure is worth it to download if you like. Here is the link: LeftRightLeftRightLeft

I'm always open to hearing new stuff so if anyone has suggestions let me know. Music is one of my passions but not as much as movies are, ill be posting about that later...
