I & O

It's Wednesday, and I'm not really sure on what to put up on today ... I'm currently listening to Pain Of Salvation, but it's not the time for a post about them... yet. So what can I use? Since my mind isn't really helping me to go on with this at the moment, I'll pick up two songs from two different bands (both from UK) as a stallment to a better post ... That will happen at another time, not specified.

First, well I'll use the scottish rock Idlewild, with a pretty much amazing song: "You Held The World In Your Arms". A song pretty much intense and easy to enjoy (for me at least) that didn't need much help to become one of my favorites through time. Got this song through other of my addictions: gaming. Playing Fifa 2003 for my GCN, I loved this song from the beginning (even spent time in the audio setup section messing with ... stuff ... just to listen to this song). I have to say, that the only thing that remains good in these Electronic Art games through the years, must be the EA Trax... Well on with the song:

You Held The World In Your Arms - Idlewild

Album: The Remote Part

Every face 
Even the one you saw yesterday 
It looks different today 
Cos everything's changed since yesterday 
In every possible way 
Things seem different today 
Not like yesterday 
Is consideration 
More like an acception - of consideration? 

Cos you have the world in your arms tonight 
And what if you held the world in your arms? 

When you're secure, do you feel much safer? 
As days never change, and it's three years later 
It's like your life hasn't changed, 
And it's three years late 
So how does it feel, to be three years late? 
And watching your youth drift away 
What seems different, seems different today 
And what seems different, seems different today 
Is consideration 
More like an exception - of consideration? 

Cos you have the world in your arms tonight 
And what if you held the world in your arms? 
You have the world in your arms tonight 
And what if you held the world in your arms? 
(tonight...) (tonight...) 

Cos you have the world in your arms tonight 
And what if you held the world in your arms? 
Cos you have the world in your arms tonight 
And what if you held the world in your arms?

Now, I'll add something that according to my Last.fm, comes from one of my top 3 bands (which makes me remember that I should include something by Rush soon): Oasis. This british band that established themselves and made a reknown name around the world during the 90's, got to me around 2007 (asides from popular songs like Wonderwall, or Don't Look Back In Anger, this last one I listened to without knowing the band playing it and it's now at the top with The Hindu Times). Well, one of the songs I listened to before getting into the band was in fact The Hindu Times, pretty much because at that time (about 2001 or 2002 here, when I listened to punkpop bands as Blink-182), the TV cable companyscrewed something up, and we ended only with half of the channels we normally used to have, so MTV was out for me (and this 'episode' later marked my independence from this channel), and Sony was my only source for different music. The Hindu Times was one of the songs that appeared (and repeated for only-God-knows how many times) in between soap-operas, comedies, etc. It had brief lifetime since the channel decided to update the songs and Oasis went by for another year or two. Near half 2004 I asked a classmate to create a CD with random songs (most of which I not so randomly selected), when I randomly remembered the song. So, after 2 weeks after asking him, he gave me a mixed CD with the songs (that went from Oasis, to Adema, to Incubus, and probably some stuff from Box Car Racer, Wheatus, and a Chilean band called Los Prisioneros ... This CD still holds one of the many memories about songs that puzzle me, for I can't find a song in the CD, nor I can remember enough of the song to Google it).

Well (after that weird disgregational thought) I'll resume back to the story: I ended up being addicted to The Hindu Times without really knowing the band, only to actually get into them about 3 years later. So, on with the actual song: 

The Hindu Times - Oasis

Album: Heathen Chemistry

I get up when i'm down 
i can't swim but my soul won't drown 
i do believe i've got flare 
i got speed and i walk on air 

cos god give me a soul 
in your rock n' roll babe 
cos god give me a soul 
in your rock n' roll babe 
and i get so high i just can't feel it 
and i get so high i just can't feel it 

in and out my brain 
running through my veins 
cos you're my sunshine 
you're my rain 

theres a light that shines on 
shines on me 
and it keeps me warm 
it gave me peace 
i must say 
i cant sleep 
cos the world wont wait 

cos god give me a soul 
in your rock n' roll babe 
cos god give me a soul 
in your rock n' roll babe 
i can get so high i just can't feel it 
i can get so high i just can't feel it 

and i get so high i just can't feel it 
and i get so high i just can't feel it 
and i get so high i just can't feel it 
and i get so high i just can't feel it 

in and out my brain 
running through my veins 
cos you're my sunshine 
you're my rain
