What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (cd)



Was late on the scene discovering these guys but once I did I came on board quick. This is the debut and I was hooked. Guess it was Yellow but other tremendous tracks on here with Trouble being my best. Only throw away is the title track, if you can call that a song at 46 seconds. Love Chris Martins vocals and the dreamy music. I can melt with most of it. The London group was an instant success in the homeland but us American blokes were slow to catch on, #1 there, #2 down under, and #51 here. Won best album in the Brit Awards and a Grammy for best Alt Album here. Sometimes them grammys get it right. Yellow, Shiver, and Trouble were all singles, with only Yellow achieving mass market play and the others only on the Modern Rock chart. I hear they have a new one on the way. Probably burnt out by now after 10 years, normal life span.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Parachutes

Best Track - Trouble

Oh no, I see,
A spider web is tangled up with me,
And I lost my head,
The thought of all the stupid things I'd said.

Oh no, what's this?
A spider web, and I'm caught in the middle,
So I turn to run,
The thought of all the stupid things I've done,

And I never meant to cause you trouble,
I never meant to do you wrong,
And I, well if I ever caused you trouble,
And oh no, I never meant to do you harm.

Oh no, I see,
A spider web and it's me in the middle,
So I twist and turn,
Here am I in my little bubble,

Singing I, never meant to cause you trouble,
And I, never meant to do you wrong,
And I, well if I ever caused you trouble,
Oh, no I never meant to do you harm.

They spun a web for me,
They spun a web for me,
They spun a web for me.
