Coldplay on a Warm Day
Something special is lighting up the sky.
Spending Christmas eve with family is a joyous occasion, including the surprisingly warm temperatures. Typically, snow flurries would be covering the ground and car windshields by this time of the year. But alas, Mother Nature has granted us an extra dose of sun instead in the Buckeye state.
From evening Church and being reminded of the wonder of our Lord to being together for an after-service dinner and enjoying the comedy stylings of the Griswolds, this is one of those days that shines above. And even though there are classic Christmas songs from yesteryear that we should be listening to on repeat this holiday season, it’s nice to enter a new CD into the disc-changing rotation every once in a while (man, I’m old).
Coldplay’s 2010 holiday stunner, “Christmas Lights” deserves a listen to on everybody’s night shift.
And the video is classic Coldplay and, therefore, quite wonderful.
Taking a moment to gaze at colorfully inspiring lights during the Christmas season really is heavenly.
Will This Turn You into Someone New?
I am a massive fan of the 1980s. The movies, music, fashion defined its timeless, influential cultural. This decade was one of the best.
What’s even more fun than writing about the glorious ’80s is watching a tribute to it…
As those famous talking heads would say: Have a once in a lifetime weekend!
Happy Monday!
There are songs that just strike a powerful chord with us. Whether formally written on a sheet of music, scribbled on a napkin or a random riff during a rehearsal break, this sound accompanied by the perfect lyrics is one of the most beautiful rewards of music.
This is that “it” factor people always talk about. When you discover it…wow.
Speaking of which, one of my favorite songs is “Sweet Child O’ Mine” by Guns N’ Roses. Have you heard Slash (its former lead guitarist) play this 1987 rock classic acoustic, with vocals by Myles Kennedy?
Now you have.
She’s got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue skyNow and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I stared too long
I’d probably break down and crySweet child o’ mine
Sweet love of mineShe’s got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I’d hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of painHer hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I’d hide
And pray for the thunder and the rain
To quietly pass me by[3x]
Sweet child o’ mine
Sweet love of mine[4x]
Where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Sweet child o’ mine
Have an Awe-Inspiring Week!
Happy Monday!
The band is called NONONO and they’re a rising musical trio from the beautiful city of Stockholm, Sweden.
Need proof? Okay.
Yes, yes, yes!
Hopefully, this song gets your blood pumpin’ for an inspiring week!
