Christmas lights

"Tried to right a wrong 

Just walk away, those windows say 

But I can't believe she's gone "

-Coldplay

I don't celebrate Christmas or even believe in it. But i felt compelled to post this vid from my super top grossing favorite band of all time -  Coldplay.  It has nothing to do with my belief and faith about this celebrated season, but has something to do with my fanaticism on this band. Well, i just missed them prolly, cuz this is the latest single they've released after quite sometime.

The band's trademark is oozing with attractiveness and lyrical poetry as soon as the intro of this song pops in ... i'd say the video is exceedingly amazing, and to make it complete, the melancholic raspy voice of the vocals. I really love it!!!! (hahaha)

Check 2:20. Believe it!!! This is so convincingly powerful, you could almost hum to the song even if it's the first time for you to listen to it. There's this magical effect it brings, like a soothing effect to the mind and feelings...

Christmas night 

Another fight 

Tears we cried, a flood 

Got all kinds of poison in 

Of poison in my blood 

I took my feet to Oxford Street 

Tried to right a wrong 

Just walk away, those windows say 

But I can't believe she's gone 

When you're still waiting for the snow to fall 

It doesn't really feel like Christmas at all 

Cup of candles, oh they flicker 

Oh, they flicker and they flow 

And I'm up here holding onto all those chandeliers of hope 

Lots of drunken Elvises 

I go singing out of tune 

Saying how I always loved you, darling 

And I always will 

But when you're still waiting for the snow to fall 

Doesn't really feel like Christmas at all 

When you're still waiting for the snow to fall 

It doesn't really feel like Christmas at all 

Those Christmas lights 

Light up the street 

Down where the sea and city meet 

May all your troubles soon be gone 

Oh, Christmas lights, keep shining on 

Those Christmas lights 

Light up the street 

Maybe they'll bring her back to me 

Then all my troubles will soon be gone 

Oh, Christmas lights, keep shining on 

Those Christmas lights 

Light up the street 

Light up the fireworks in me 

May all your troubles soon be gone 

Those Christmas lights, keep shining on

Somewhere along the message of this song, strikes something amongst those people who are away from their loved ones. I mean, literally, like an ocean's apart from each other. That so called "pangungulila" sa mga naiwan sa Pilipinas, esp when December creeps in from the calendar, that the breeze and scents and meaning of it all as it slowly unfolds before the New Year, seem to envelope the human need with kept silence of joy and pain, yeah! a mixed up. I guess i need not explain any further. I'll just replay this video again. ;)
