Coldplay
“See You Soon”

Listening to Mat made me want to feature a Coldplay song. Hopefully this isn’t one you’ve heard. They certainly don’t play this one on the radio. It’s from a CD released in 2000 (Blue Room), and it isn’t available everywhere. If you’re a crazed Coldplay fan like me, then you’ve certainly heard this song before.

This song needs no explanation (but I’ll give you one anyway).

It’s about someone’s insecurity — someone who apparently can’t trust, and shuts them self in from (I assume) relationships. (source: songfacts.com)

I featured it for many reasons. Listen to the words.

“Don’t lose your trust…”

Mat Kearney
“Where we gonna go from here”

This guy’s music is probably all over the radio right now — i’m not sure. I can honestly say I don’t listen to the radio.

With Vocals like Chris Martin, subtle guitar parts, and an ethereal mix of instruments in the background, it’s hard not to like this guy’s music.

Augustana
“Boston”

Apparently Falsetto is in lately — This song reminds me of the way James Blunt weaves falsetto into his melodies.

Maybe I’ll stick with Adult Alternative for a spell.

Alternate Routes
“Hollywood”

There’s something youthful and pure about the music from this band. I hope they stay true to the inspiration that created this song. It’s where I hope they hover for years to come. My ears would be lucky to hear what this band can create. Let’s all hope the coming years are good to The Alternate Routes.

Peter Gabriel
“Washing of the Water”

Yesterday, the high tide–Today, it’s about the “Washing of the Water”. This song is incredibly metaphorical, and has a great deal of depth (pardon the pun). I’m also posting this song for people who love and lived in New Orleans during hurricane Katrina. For some, the waters took it all away. As the song says, may the waters also “Bring [you] something that will take [the] pain away.”
