What are you listening to?

Here is a song i think everyone may know....

CRANBERRIES
"Zombie"

Another head hangs lowly,
Child is slowly taken.
And the violence caused such silence,
Who are we mistaken?

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, dou, dou, dou, dou, dou...

Another mother's breakin',
Heart is taking over.
When the vi'lence causes silence,
We must be mistaken.

It's the same old theme since nineteen-sixteen.
In your head, in your head they're still fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are dying...

In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, oh, ya, ya-a...
I love this piece. The best version, very high energy, imo, is a çranberries concert in Paris in 1999. I always listen to this version when I exercise on my recumbent bike. Dolores O'Riordan has such a strong and melodic voice. What a shame she died at such a young age and denied the world of her gift.
I would highly recommend this video. It's on youtube.
 
I think birds are really amazing, and so free.

When we were kids, traveling, my parents would play tapes in the car and van, and this song was on a short ABBA tape (not quite album length, maybe 5 songs or something like that) and I kept waiting for it, and asked to play it again, and again.

Some feelgood song by a singer I've loved for almost 10 years. He's kind of my music best friend. I changed so much in these ten years, and yet he's still here. I keep coming back to him, even if sometimes I find his music a bit too sentimental (or I just feel guilty of loving it). There's just something so pure about him. One day, I saw someone's comment under one of his song's video on youtube that really caught how I feel about him, they said something like: "I love that feeling of home in his songs".


I like this verse especially :

And I saw a friend of mine the other day
And he told me that my eyes were gleamin'
Oh I said I'd been away, and he knew
Oh he knew, the depths I was meanin'
And it felt so good to see his face
All the comfort invested in my soul
Oh to feel the warmth, of his smile
When he said 'I'm happy to have you home'
