Coldplay~Yellow...Oh and Sigrid too!

I was driving home today and I heard Sigrid singing the Coldplay song Yellow.
I love that song. The lyrics are beautiful. I hope I hear Sigrid sing it again...she interpreted it beautifully.

It makes me think of Summer evenings.

Muse~Feeling Good

I drove to work listening to Muse and I must admit it left me feeling good!

Muse are one of those bands that I love singing along to in the car. I am glad I have no passengers..:)
I am dividing my commute between listening to radio One and getting out my old CD's and playing one a day. It was pure pleasure listening to these guys again today.

This picture of me with Ollie always makes me feel good too. It's the little things in life that add up to make life rich and full and happy.

Wonk Unit~Horses

I have had this song in my head all afternoon...

This is no bad thing as the song is great!!
G was playing it in the car this morning as we went to see our friends and collect some plants that are now growing in my garden.
I love Spring and Summer, such wonderful seasons.

Pulp~ Mis-shapes and Common People...

I was posting on Facebook in response to a friend's post. They mentioned mis-shapen dice and the song Mis-Shapes popped into my head:

I have always loved Pulp. The lyrics seem even more appropriate to modern day somehow....
Listen to the words, just listen to them....they are so good:
Common People....is a shining example.

In fact musicians and artists can be very switched on and prophetic.
Poetry, art, songs all express some very important ideas and thoughts.

Another Light~ Henry Green

I am happy as my new (old) car has a good CD player in it and so I was able to listen to Shift on the way to work. One song I love is Another Light.It also has a lovely video which I have posted here:

I am going to see Henry Green play on Thursday in London. My son plays in the band and co produced some of the music so I am really looking forward to seeing him too.

My kids have both found their own way in life and are following their dreams which is what I have always encouraged them to do.
I couldn't be prouder.
When people have the courage to 'go their own way' and live their own life their way they find like minded people so they can each inspire the other to do the things they really want to do.


My new car!

Muse~ Thought Contagion

I was driving in my car earlier this week singing my head off to this song. I would never do that with passengers as I don't hit that high note too well!
If you haven't heard this song yet, have a listen.
I think it is brilliant!

Avicii~ Wake me Up

I am sad to hear of the passing of Avicii. He was very talented and his music was unique.
This is great:

Feeling my way through the darkness
Guided by a beating heart
I can't tell where the journey will end
But I know where to start
They tell me I'm too young to understand
They say I'm caught up in a dream
Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
Well that's fine by me

So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself, and I
Didn't know I was lost

So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself, and I
Didn't know I was lost

I tried carrying the weight of the world
But I only have two hands
Hope I get the chance to travel the world
But I don't have any plans
Wish that I could stay forever this young
Not afraid to close my eyes
Life's a…

The words have a lot of impact on me, especially today.
