Bought Coldplay's newest album a few days back. Definitely a different sound and style from Radiohead's depressing and anxiety-driven music. Somehow, I admire British bands more than American bands. Coldplay and Radiohead have been evolving their music over time, creating new sounds, infusing electronics with their instruments. Plenty of emotions in their music. I love how bands come up with something new and fresh and British bands doesn't disappoint.
Just look at All-American Rejects. It Ends Tonight was an awesome song, but the newest album didn't click with me. However, Coldplay has Yellow, Speed of Sound and now Viva La Vida. Spanning over three albums, the songs pushes different kinds of boundaries but Coldplay has imprinted their signature on every song and that makes it stand out from the rest of the bands.
Lovers In Japan left something on me. From it's opening of soothing melody and then breaking out into jumpy piano-driven rhythm, I fell in love with it's beautiful arrangement. It really makes me imagine, a foreign, strained couple arrives in Toyko airport, which showcases the beginning long notes. They are new to the surrounding, making it their first time in Japan. Not knowing the language and culture, they hopped into a cab, hoping in the craziness of it all, they could find what they were missing in their relationship. Thus, the piano kicks in with its rhythmic pattern.
Beautiful song. It just makes me wonder about Love.
What does this tell us about Love?
Love can be sweet, it can be bitter too. It gives your heart hope and joy and sometimes it can cause your heart to be trampled on. It is an undescribable feeling that only when you feel it, you know it's love. Love can be for anything. Your family, friends, pets, teachers, mentors or even people you don't even know. But as far as I know, love is a complicated emotion. There are even times where you don't know you're smitten but soon realises it at the 11th hour.
Sometimes you don't even know why you love him but you just do. You love the sweet scent of her hair. You drool over his muscles. You admire her courage to stand up for herself. You like his charming personality. You find it cute when she lowers her head and look at you coyly. There are MILLION of reasons why you're even in love with a person...
Lovers In Japan makes me want to write a book or a short novel.
Haha...I know you love watching romance movies. Don't look around, yeah it's you. All those times when I'm out with you in a CD shop, you always show me a romanic film. I know you like Music and Lyrics and Phantom of the Opera. *Grins* yup...Tell you what, if I get the chance to direct movies, I'll make a romance film dedicated to YOU because you're special to me. Not that you're the one for me but..you know..=)
