1. Eskobar - On the Ground


I'm addicted to it! The Swedish trio can be classified as electro, pop and soft rock. Vocalist Daniel Bellqvist has that eccentric but cool British rock attitude reminiscent of Brian Molko, although his voice is more airy and falsetto. I tried to search for lyrics meaning of this song but there was no real discussion on the web. Here's my interpretation: A man has an unrequited love and chooses to remain silent coz of his pride. The one he adores has 'no time for him', 'too busy being free'. 'Sky above water, sons and daughters' are all the same colour. There's no special someone. I love the emptiness in his voice when he sings 'sky above water' line.

When you see a man, let him be what he's gotta be
'Cause one time is all that he needs
I know for all, is you got to believe in love

Sky above water, they're always the same
Sons and daughters, they're always the same

Always the same

And I never found you on the ground
And I never made a sound
'Cause you were much too busy being free
No time to be with me

And I never found you on the ground
And I never made a sound
'Cause you were much too busy being free
No time to be with me

Hold on to posture and strangers
Hold on to posture and pride

'Someone new' is a duet with Heather Nova and this's their major breakthrough single.


2. Howie Day - Ghost (live recording)
He's like a tamer version of Damien Rice. I find a parallel in their ruggedness. His cover of 'Don't dream it's over' seems to have extensive radio play.

3. The Cranberries - Sunday
Yurippe (from GARNET CROW) is a big fan of the Cranberries and she once commented 'Everyone else does it' is an indispensable album for her. I just thought the other day, the arrangement of 'Sunday' is very similar to their '廻り道'. 'Demystify me, demystify me' is my favourite line =D
