Artist: Phoenix
Song: Too Young
Album: United
Year: 2000
"Baby when I saw you turning at the end of the street, I knew a time was gone and it took me like ages just to understand that I was afraid to be a simple guy..."
"I tried my best to smile but deep inside my heart I felt it was shouting like a crowd dancing, I guess I couldn't live without the things that made my life what it is..."
"Can't you hear me calling? Everybody's dancing, tonight everything is over, I feel too young..."
*A SIMPLE ONE: This was the song that introduced me to Phoenix some yesterdays ago. It has this catchy rhythm that makes me move my feet. About the lyrics, I think they are about rushing things only to later realize differences, which could be as big as the world's biggest peanut, and that leads to the end of it, or simply encounter some incompatibility of moods at a certain point, for example an evening, a reunion, etc. and that leads just to the postponement of things but not the end of it. Although I'm more inclined to think that it is the first possibility that prevails in this song.

Song: If I Ever Feel Better
Album: United
Year: 2000
"They say an end can be a start, feels like I've been buried yet I'm still alive. It's like a bad day that never ends, I feel the chaos around me, A thing I don't try to deny, I'd better learn to accept that, there are things in my life that I can't control..."
"If I ever feel better, remind me to spend some good time with you. You can give me your number, when it's all over I'll let you know..."
*ANOTHER SIMPLE ONE: This CD is so funky/soul/jazzy. It is a perfect choice to just sit back and relax. In this song the beat does not go with the lyrics. Again I think it is about bad moments in life and bad timing, thus the chorus, and even though it is kind of sad it has a glimpse of optimism.
HAVE A GOOD START TO THE WEEK!! :)
And remember... If you liked it, buy it...
