I already know that I really like this song. So, here's the music video and as a special treat, video clips that tell the story of Anakin Skywalker to the tune of Fix You. I picked this one cause I thought it was a nice story to tell in conjunction with the song, but I almost didn't post it because, someone tell Lucas this, THERE WERE NO FIREWORKS AFTER ANAKIN DIED! But I thought you might like the video, so I'm going against every moral fiber in my body and posting this.
Robert Frost's poem "A Cliff Dwelling" reminds me of the people who must have lived here "Oh years ago--ten thousand years" and enjoyed the beauty and safety of a cliff. A place "to rest from his besetting fears". Welcome to mine.
In 2014 I featured a series of blog posts introducing you to 2,014 names. For the most part they were names that were brand new to me as well. Some names may be more familiar but I found the meaning or origin or some other aspect of the name made it worthy of inclusion here. You may love some of the names, you may hate some, but hopefully you enjoy learning about all of them.

So here is today's song of the day, White Shadows, from the X&Y album (2005). I like the lyrics, just not the music. What's your take on this song?

Song of the Day: Square One and What if?
I got a day behind on this somehow, so today you have Saturday and Sunday. I think Square One is just an average song but I rather like What if. Tell me your thoughts.

Genealogy this Sunday
I know, it seems like I have pretty much three topics I blog on: Coldplay, camping, and genealogy. Anyhow, I will be going to the genealogy library this Sunday so if you want to come with me, just let me know and we'll arrange a time.
Song of the Day: High Speed
Today's Coldplay song of the day is High Speed, from their Parachutes album from 2000. This isn't my favorite song by Coldplay, but it's nice enough. This video has two songs, so if you don't want to listen to the first, move the little circle at the bottom to where it says 5:15/9:25 in the gray area next to the red line. (oh, the first song is Everything's not lost, also from the Parachutes album)
