Just downloaded the free single from Coldplays new album  Viva la Vida or Death and all His Friends...I can't wait till it comes out. I just love Coldplay's sound and Chris Martin's voice!
Violet Hill isn't still feels like Coldplay to me which was what I was most afraid would happen in this album.

These are the lyrics.....


Was a long and dark December
From the rooftops i remember
There was snow
White snow

Clearly i remember
From the windows they were watching
While we froze down below

When the future's architectured
By a carnival of idiots on show
You'd better lie low

If you love me
Won't you let me know?

Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
And the fog
Became God

Priests clutched onto bibles
And went out to fit their rifles
And the cross was held aloft

Bury me in honor
When i'm dead and hit the ground
A love back home unfolds

If you love me
Won't you let me know?

(Guitar Solo)

I don't want to be a soldier
With the captain of some sinking ship
With snow, far below

So if you love me
Why'd you let me go?

I took my love down to violet hill
There we sat in snow
All that time she was silent still

So if you love me
Won't you let me know?

If you love me,
Won't you let me know?


My weekend went well with good company. I still had rather difficult moments feeling as if my own soul was experiencing convulsions. Living is rather nauseating right now and still seems more like chore than a miraculous gift from God. But I try to focus my mind on the truth of this life. Watching life can become very incapacitating emotionally when you take in all the pain that as humans we inflict on ourselves. I ask God now that he give me the grace to remind me to run to him and remember He is there. Despite how alone and misunderstood I am, God is there.

I know what you mean... I had a good retreat, but then it was back to the stress of real life :( ah. Hang in there, Linda.
