Well, I missed doing a song of the day yesterday, so that one is Talk, which I really like (and I think the video is fun) and X & Y. Actually, there are two videos for Talk: the music video and a live performance at the Grammys. And really, the X & Y clip is not a video, but the only way I could find for you to hear the song. Oh, for a bonus, I've added an interview the band did about making this album (X & Y).
Also, a comment about some Coldplay fans. I see comments that they only liked Parachutes or A Rush of Blood to the Head. Those two probably are better than X & Y, but have they not listened to the new cd? I think it's fantastic and better than all 3 of the previous albums. I don't know exactly what it is they don't like about the new cd, I am just honestly incapable of seeing what flaws it has or why someone wouldn't like it.
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.

I missed it!
Thank goodness for the internet, because I missed watching Coldplay on Jay Leno last night. Just totally forgot about it. So here they are playing Viva la Vida and Lost.

Song of the Day: Fix You
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.

Song of the Day: White Shadows
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.
