TIME : Pink Floyd : Dark Side Of The Moon

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
And you are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in a quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say
__________________________________________

I wanted to just get the first line and the whole chorus but reading it again and playing the song in my head got me in a daze…! In a good way. This song is timeless, man. These are words that every single man or woman can relate to. Well, save for the ‘English’ part. But perfection is what comes to mind when I think of this song. What more of the whole album? Undeniably classic.

So I’m one year closer to death.
Twenty-two years of walking on this earth and I’m still loving it.
Happy new year to me! Cheers!

New Music and Coming.

Stereophonics has a new album. It's called "Language Sex Violence Other?" I took a quick listen to some of the tracks at the Tower listening station. And it failed to impress. I like them for their mellow touching sound with pensive themes. But here, I think they're going for a more aggressive approach. Can't say it's not a good album though. As I've said, I just listened to a bit of it.


Lifehouse, too, released a new record. Self-titled. This band, on the other hand, slowed down with their music compared to the their previous outings. I liked the first single, 'You and Me'. Although it's not the kind of song you want to hear again after taking one hit. But reviews of the album are good so far. Laid-back. Lyrically wise (as always with Jason Wade). I think I'll get a copy of this one. Soon as I get my next pay! hehe..

Anyway, I'm looking forward to a lot of things this May / June.


1. Coldplay's third album 'X&Y', due on June 6 - The band said they're moving ahead, improving their sound. We know they did that when they came up with 'A Rush Of Blood To The Head'. Hope this one's way better. It's hard to imagine them topping off the Parachutes and Rush. But I trust these dudes. May 23 will be the release of the first single from the album. It’s called ‘Speed Of Sound’.


2. Oasis' follow up 'Don't Believe The Truth'- Pretty interesting album title. Oh and the new single ‘Lyla’ will be premiering tomorrow. Just about time Noel and Liam came out and please their fans again.


3. Audioslave’s sophomore album – They recently released the single ‘Be Yourself’, a simple rock ballad that sweeps your heart out. And another collection of tracks from these guys would be a breath of fresh air for the Rock Music Scene.


4. Incubus’ new single! – This one’s going to be released by the end of May. And in July, three more songs are coming out as part of the soundtrack to the Jamie Foxx/ Jessica Biel-starrer movie - ‘Stealth’.
Here’s what their manager said:
"One of the tracks is actually a bit of a departure for the band in that Brandon shares the vocal duties with one of the most legendary female rock singers of all time. I'll let you guess who it might be. All I can tell you is the track is called "Neither of Us Can See" and its a fucking killer."
Take a guess.

IT'S ALL EXCITING.
