Musical Monday, 4 July


Welcome to Musical Monday! 

What songs can't you simply keep out of your head? Would you like to share? Today I present something ridiculously new, compared to my previous picks - listen to Keane!



Here you have the lyrics (the vid is not my favourite but the sound is the best so...):


"Bend and Break by Keane"
Detail of The Death of Socrates. A disciple is...Image via Wikipedia
When you, when you forget your name
When old faces all look the same
Meet me in the morning when you wake up
Meet me in the morning then you'll wake up
If only I don't bend and break
I'll meet you on the other side
I'll meet you in the light
If only I don't suffocate
I'll meet you in the morning when you wake

Bitter and hardened heart
Aching waiting for life to start
Meet me in the morning when you wake up
Meet me in the morning then you'll wake up

If only I don't bend and break
I'll meet you on the other side
I'll meet you in the light
If only I don't suffocate
I'll meet you in the morning when you wake

If only I don't bend and break
I'll meet you on the other side
I'll meet you in the light
If only I don't suffocate
I'll meet you in the morning when you wake

I'll meet you on the other side
I'll meet you in the light
If only I don't suffocate
I'll meet you in the morning when you wake 


Do you think this song is really about a suicide pact?

    For a long, long time, I couldn't get Single Ladies by Beyonce out of my head. I have never heard of the song Bend and Break. It's catchy though.

    Keane... it's be a while since I heard their music. As far as a suicide pact (glad you are bright and chipper! lol) it could be the other side of an emotion, a fight... or a pact.

    Tracy - a bit repetitive though. ;)

    Melissa I am an Anachronist after all, I can't post too contemporary stuff, my reputation would suffer ;)

    Keane are my other favourites, at least some of their songs. Yeah, I am as sunny as the weather today at my place (raining all the time) but still better than yesterday - my books finally arrived !

    A fight? How come? He will meet somebody "on the other side" just to fight? Hmmm...interesting.

    I don't think it means suicide although he might mean death. However, I've had the Mnmn song stuck in my head.
