Off it goes

Its touching that the monkey sits on my shoulder
He is waiting for the day when he gets me.

Atlast I have got rid of the monkey. More monkeys to come.

Recent Addiction to English Songs

My recent addiction has been to English Songs. Thanks to James Blunt for his fantastic album named Back to Bedlam. The first song which made me join the millions of rocking heads was "You're beautiful". The song had wonderful lyrics sure to kindle the memory of the listeners and the wonderful video did the right honours to the song. James Blunt - sings a song about 'one odd moment, in which he sees a girl (claimed to be his ex-girl friend) with another man', wonderfully crafted words which did make this song a chart-buster. But You're Beautiful is a song which lost all its sheen when I heard High, Good bye my lover, Cry n Out of my mind. His metallic voice is something which will either deport you to a Utopian state or shatter you. Its a unique voice which is difficult to simulate. My best pick is out of my mind.... This song has mysterious lyrics, which gives different meanings to different people depending on their state of mind. This song did help me add 3 words to my vocabulary... alibi, pantomime and concubine. This is one song which I would like to sing when things turn tipsy turvy and on which I would not have control. Though some googling did say that this song has a romantic meaning to it, to me it sounds philosophical. My rating for of the songs in his Back to Bedlam Album are here

1. Out of my mind
2. High
3. Good bye my lover
4. You're Beautiful
5. Cry
6. Oh Billy!
7. Tears n Rain
8. No Bravery

Well each one would come up with their own ratings, and it would be painful to see their song not making to the top of MY list, but the fact is you are reading MY blog, and I am out of my mind. :-)
