I don't know about you,
for me there are some albums that change according to the mood I’m in when I listen to them.
One of these is "Still Life," the latest by Aqualung, who is actually Matt Hales, a young Brit with a love for Jethro Tull.
I'm in a bad mood, it's raining:
This guy took the Coldplay piano and Thom Yorke's voice and drowned them in molasses until they suffocated! Songs way too catchy and slick, you hear them once and you can already hum them. And those lyrics: love so perfect you can't believe it, eternal love, love why did you leave me, love I have a broken heart. Bleah, overdone and clichéd. An example: "Darling believe, you're closer than everyone has ever been, oh baby don't leave me alone I'm yours for eternity, you hold the 7 keys to my soul" Oh please... all heard a thousand times before! There it goes, launched onto the shelf of wrong purchases.
I'm in a state of grace/dementia/yearning (morning, with the flannel pajamas):
Mmmmh look, here it was... but in the end this album is beautiful, listen to how sweet this piano is... the strings... an oversized emotional shower, it's just what I need. And those lyrics: "You talk in your sleep, I hear you say beautiful things, I love you, I do, You know that I do" Sigh... It's true, it may not be very original, but it's sincere. The voice is beautiful too, delicate, fragile, and sentimental... I give in, yes, and isn't it in banality that we feel reassured? Maybe, who knows, but today I'll take it with me for a bit, like a soft scarf.
Tracklist Lyrics and Videos
01 Brighter Than Sunshine (04:02)
I never understood before.
I never knew what love was for.
My heart was broke, my head was sore -
What a feeling.
Tied up in ancient history,
I didnt believe in destiny.
I look up, you're standing next to me -
What a feeling.
What a feeling in my soul -
Love burns brighter than sunshine,
Brighter than sunshine.
Let the rain fall, I don't care.
I'm yours, and suddenly you're mine.
Suddenly, you're mine;
And it's brighter than sunshine.
I never saw it happening.
I'd given up and given in.
I just couldn't take the hurt again -
What a feeling.
I didn't have the strength to fight.
Suddenly, you seemed so right.
Me and you -
What a feeling.
What a feeling in my soul -
Love burns brighter than sunshine.
It's brighter than sunshine.
Let the rain fall, I don't care.
I'm yours, and suddenly you're mine.
Suddenly, you're mine.
And it's brighter than the sun.
It's brighter than the sun.
It's brighter than the sun, sunshine.
Love will remain a mystery,
But give me your hand, and you will see.
Your heart is keeping time with me.
What a feeling in my soul -
Love burns brighter than sunshine.
It's brighter than sunshine.
Let the rain fall, I don't care.
I'm yours, and suddenly you're mine.
Suddenly, you're mine.
I got a feeling in my soul.
Love burns brighter than sunshine,
Brighter than sunshine.
Let the rain fall, I don't care.
I'm yours, and suddenly you're mine.
Suddenly, you're mine.
I got a feeling in my soul.
Love burns brighter than sunshine.
It's brighter than sunshine.
Let the rain fall, I don't care.
I'm yours, and suddenly you're mine.
Suddenly, you're mine.
And it's brighter than sunshine.
02 Left Behind (03:45)
Open the curtain,
Let some light in,
I feel so grey,
The world got smashed to pieces,
And put back together
The wrong way.
Why you leaving me now?
There must be some doubt in your mind,
Can't you open your heart?
Don't want to be left behind.
Open the window,
Let some air in,
I feel so old
There - Where we were happy,
Long ago
Yesterday.
Why you leaving me now?
There must be some doubt in your mind,
Can't you open your heart?
Don't want to be left behind.
You open your mouth and I know
what you're going to say.
Open the window,
Let some air in,
I feel so grey.
Why you leaving me now?
There must be some doubt in your mind,
Can't you open your heart?
Don't want to be left behind.
You open your mouth and I know
what you're going to say.
04 Easier to Lie (03:21)
To bear the weight
And push into the sky
It's easier to lie
Easier to lie
And honestly
To look you in the eye
It's easier to lie
Easier to lie
To be the one
To be the only one
Someone has to give a lot
Something has to give a lot
And who am I
To give you what you need?
Well, im learning
Just learning
Learning how to live and..
To bear the weight
And push into the sky
It's easier to lie
Easier to lie
And honestly
To look you in the eye
It's easier to lie
Easier to lie
To fill the space
The space you made for me
I try to be the one you want
I try to be the way you want
And maybe I
Could be the one you need
If you'll only
Show me
Show me how to live and...
To bear the weight
And push into the sky
It's easier to lie
Easier to lie
And do what's right
When everything is wrong
It's easier to run
It's easier to...
Never have
To look you in the eye
It's easier to lie
Easier to lie
To bear the weight
And push into the sky
It's easier to lie
05 Another Little Hole (05:25)
No need to tell her she knows that there another little hole in her heart
Each day each dollar she knows it tears another little hole in her heart
'Cos she feels it happen no doubt that theres another little hole in her heart
The day is breaking and the time is taking the love were making
Away this life can only leave us lonely theres no tommorow
Just another little hole in her heart
No need to tell me i know that theres another little tear in my eye
I'm quite aware i see thats there another little tear in my eye
Do you ask yourself why should we ask oursleves why
Is there any point in wondering why any point in wondering why
The day is breaking and the time is taking the love were making
Away this life can only leave us lonely theres no tommorow
Just another little tear in my eye another little tear in my eye
I don't know i don't know i don' t know i don't i don't know
The day is breaking and time is taking the love were making
Away the gods have spokent he spell is broken and love will tear us love will tear us apart
This life can only leave us lonely theres no tommorow
Just another little hole in my heart another little hole in my heart
Don't know i don't know i don' t know i don't i don't know
06 7 Keys (05:17)
It wasn't open
But somehow you let yourself in
Closed off and broken
I never wanted to go there again
I wasn't waiting
But you came at just the right time
Weary and wasted
I never knew I could feel so alive
Darlin believe
Your closer than anyone has ever been
Oh baby don't leave me alone
I'm yours for eternity
You hold the 7 keys to my soul
Feel so connected
Like I've known you all along
I never expected
To fall into loving so deep
So deep and so strong
Darlin believe
Your closer than anyone has ever been
Oh baby don't leave me alone
I'm yours for eternity
You hold the 7 keys to my soul
Closer than anyone
This is where we belong [x4]
Darlin believe
Your closer than anyone has ever been
So baby don't leave me alone
I'm yours for eternity
You hold the 7 keys to my... soul
07 Extra Ordinary Thing (03:16)
Cheer up, it might never happen, no
It might never happen, we will see
As I sit here spitting and churning, no
It's clear that it's happening right now to me
Make it special
For a loved one
For a stranger
This is subtle
Hard to come by
Extraordinary thing
Oh no, there's even something
Something's got to be better than nothing.
Just because it's the end of the beginning,
Doesn't mean it's the beginning of the end.
Fallen fragile
Broken busted
All for nothing
Sing my heart out
For a stranger
Extraordinary thing
Sing my heart out
For a stranger
Extraordinary thing
09 Take Me Home (05:43)
Every day
Keep making the same mistakes
Once again
I find myself in the same old place
And I'm wandering
Wondering
Where to turn
There's a dead end
Straight ahead
Won't you take me home?
And you said
There's nothing you wouldn't do
And I answered
There's nothing in this world I need you to do
Just hold me
In your arms
I feel so cold
There are dark clouds
Gathering
Won't you take me home?
Oh, won't you take me home?
Got me wandering
Wondering
Where to turn
There are dark clouds
Gathering
Won't you take me home?
Oh please, won't you take me home?
Oh, won't you take me home?
10 Good Goodnight (04:59)
You talk in your sleep
I hear you say
Beautiful things
I love you, I do
You know that I do.
The world is awake
But you don't hear
A sound that it makes
Asleep in dreams so deep.
Peace in your heart
Peace in your soul
Peace in your head
Good goodnight.
You're far from me now
But you'd be here
In the blink of an eye
If I spoke your name.
The morning will come
For you and I
Life will go on
But keep at least from now till then...
Peace in your heart
Peace in your soul
Peace in your head
Good goodnight.
Peace in your head
Good, Good, Good, goodnight.
You talk in your sleep.
You talk in your sleep.
