I was blinded by the lights, I saw reflected in your eyes...

Barefoot on the wine soaked ground
The same songs, the same old sounds
Each one a perfect fit
this hit heralds a perfect hit

Shaken to the pounding drums
I won't wait till the kingdom comes
'Cause I finally understand
As your hand defines my hand

Just can't express how beautiful these lyrics are... They come from Tired Pony's song 'I finally love this town'
Now Tired Pony is Mr Lightbody's side project away from Snow Patrol, it's hectic because the members include Gary Lightbody, Richard Colburn, Iain Archer, Jacknife Lee, Peter Buck, Scott McCaughey and even includes contributions from people like Zoey Deschanel, M Ward and Tom Smith. Now if you don't recognise any of these names, I recommend you google them to understand the importance of this group. It has a hint of country, mainly because of lightbody's complete love for that genre. I also read somewhere that it has been his life long aspiration to have a country album... anyway, as usual, the lyrics to the songs that I have heard, are amazing.... soul turning. They released the album in July, but I doubt SA will get it, will order it though.
another one of his many side projects is Listen... Tanks! also amazing... everything that man touches turns to perfection... Anyway, this project will only be completed once Tired Pony has taken off, but so far the one song, 'Black and Silver' is taking over my brain... I cant help but to be part of Lighbody and his destructive personality when he describes the sound of this music as, "Russian submarine music". 




Do yourself a favour, and just listen. (don't mind the references to Snow Patrol in the video, you must remember these are two separate entities. Lame person who did it!)


 Will write again soon, I have such a hectic day ahead of me... need to find that strong part of me that I seem to have lost, or simply forgotten about.
