I turn the music up I'm on a roll this time And heaven is in sight

Artist- Coldplay
Song of the day- Every Teardrop is a Waterfall

Now I've come to realize you either can't stand coldplay or you love them with all your heart. And though I shall always fall under the love them with all my heart category, I was not a fan of this song when I first heard it. I pretty much couldn't get through it when I heard it on the radio, thought Coldplay had lost their mind and was wondering where my ballad soaked with emotion was that both empowers me to run on the treadmill and cry at the same time. Yet, I can tell you the instant I finally "got" this song and was forever reminded why I love Coldplay with all my heart. Better yet, I can show you the instant it happened this summer at Lollapalooza. Now I won't deny that the energy from 1,000's of fans, fancy lasers and fireworks didn't help, but maybe like I came to realize this summer, Coldplay too just needed to dance some things out. And as I am in the midst of wanting to ball up in the corner and cry every other minute, I might just take a tip from Coldplay instead. So if you happen to be in the library in Chicago today, you might pass a closed study room door where I've turned my music up, I've got my records on, I've shut the world outside...and I've decide to dance around about teardrops instead of have them. If you feel the same, come find me in the library, this one's for you.



I turn the music up,
Got my records on
I shut the world outside until the lights come on
Maybe the streets alight,
Maybe the trees are gone
I feel my heart start beating to my favorite song

And all the kids they dance
All the kids all night
Until Monday morning feels another life
I turn the music up
I'm on a roll this time
And heaven is in sight

I turn the music up,
I got my records on
From underneath the rubble sing a rebel song
Don't want to see another generation drop
I'd rather be a comma, than a full stop

Maybe I'm in the black
Maybe I'm on my knees
Maybe I'm in the gap between the two trapezes
But my heart is beating and my pulses start
Cathedrals in my heart

As we saw, oh this light
I swear you emerge blinking into
To tell me it's alright
As we soar walls
Every siren is a symphony
And every tears a waterfall

Is a waterfall
Oh
Is a waterfall
Ooh-oh-oh
Is a waterfall
Every teardrop
Is a waterfall
Ooh-oh-oh

So you can hurt, hurt me bad
But still I'll raise the flag

It was a wa-wa-wa-wa-waterfall
A wa-wa-wa-wa-waterfall

Every tear
Every tear
Every teardrop is a waterfall(5x)
