love that one Melissa, Viva la Vida.

Coldplay denied in an interview that it was about Tony Blair…

A good song to listen to for me when I get too c*cky,

we have a saying in our Irish language 

“Bi curamach ar an sli thuas, mar bul tu leis na daoine ceanna ar an sli thios”

Literally translated, 

“Be careful on the way up, because you meet the same people on the way down” 

I was cleaning up some of my MP3 files today and came across a song that made me think of Anne. It is “Fallen” by Sarah McLachlan.

Heaven bend to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight

Truth be told I've tried my best
But somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
And the cost was so much more than I could bear

Though I've tried, I've fallen…
I have sunk so low
I messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so…

We all begin with good intent
Love was raw and young
We believed that we could change ourselves
THe past could be undone
But we carry on our backs the burden
Time always reveals
In the lonely light of morning
In the wound that would not heal
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
That I've held so dear.

I've fallen…
I have sunk so low
I messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so…

Heaven bend to take my hand
Nowhere left to turn
I'm lost to those I thought were friends
To everyone I know
Oh they turn their heads embarassed
Pretend that they don't see
But it's one missed step
One slip before you know it
And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed

Though I've tried, I've fallen…
I have sunk so low
I messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so…
