I'm liking Coldplay's album a lot more than I expected, even though I was not particularly disappointed with Ghost Story. But A Head Full of Dreams is so consistently good, and so consistent in its message.
Today's song also does not yet have official audio on youtube, but the lyrics are amazing & features a Michelangelo reference. "Fun" narrowly beats it with Icarus, but I think these two songs pair nicely in style.
fixing up a car to drive in it again
searching for the water hoping for the rain
up and up, up and up
down upon the canvas, working meal to meal
waiting for a chance to pick your orange field
up and up, up and up
see a pearl form, a diamond in the rough
see a bird soaring high above the flood
it’s in your blood, it’s in your blood
underneath the storm an umbrella is saying
sitting with the poison takes away the pain
up and up, up and up it’s saying
we’re going to get it get it together right now
going to get it get it together somehow
going to get it get it together and flower
oh oh oh oh oh oh
we’re going to get it get it together I know
going to get it get it together and flow
going to get it get it together and go
up and up and up
lying in the gutter, aiming for the moon
trying to empty out the ocean with a spoon
up and up, up and up
how come people suffer how come people part?
how come people struggle how come people break your heart?
break your heart
yes I want to grow yes I want to feel
yes I want to know show me how to heal it up
heal it up
see the forest there in every seed
angels in the marble waiting to be freed
just need love just need love
when the going is rough saying
[...]
and you can say what is, or fight for it
close your mind or take a risk
you can say it’s mine and clench your fist
or see each sunrise as a gift
[...]
fixing up a car to drive in it again
when you’re in pain
when you think you’ve had enough
don’t ever give up
don’t ever give up
...
The lines "lying in the gutter, aiming for the moon" reminds me very much of ToG's season 2 opening where Wangnan says "the only difference between me and those at the top is that they haven't given up". Though we're 189 (?!) chapters into season two and there's been exactly one hint in the very beginning chapters about his real identity. Then Rachel and Kuhn's bet just teases us farther along about Baam's past. I seriously would not be surprised if ToG turns into an epic of One Piece length sigh. But at least Yuri is in the recent chapters, she is still as awesome as ever.
...
The song overall is reminiscent of 稻香. I had to dig surprisingly deep in my archives to find my post on it. It's a mystery how I've managed to keep my blog for 8 years, but I sure am glad that I kept it up. Reading old posts are sometimes hilarious, often cringe-inducing haha, but always helps when I'm having trouble falling asleep.
Side note: I just noticed that 稻香 has "童年的纸飞机 现在终於飞回我手里", which can be a reply to 蒲公英的约定's "将愿望折纸飞机寄成信 因为我们等不到那流星". Coincidence?!
