The Spinning Top - Graham Coxon

Completely fall in love with Graham Coxon..........'s music lately.

His previous album "the Spinning Top" is so beautiful. I can hardly find another word to describe it. The music, the guitar, the lyrics, the flow... just beautiful and complete. It is enjoyable to listen to it from the begining to the end.

Some critise his voice. It is true that he has an "unique" voice which is far from perfect and sometimes he even (or almost) sings off key. But strangely that seems to make his songs even more attractive.

"Feel Alright"
What this song impresses me is the extreme of the music and the lyrics. It sounds happy but indeed it's about feeling depressed. funny.

Oh Sunday morning, not a scrap in sight
I'll go without, I do it out of spite
All by myself, yeah

Food's lost its flavour, I refuse to bite
Do myself no favours, I stay in every night
Ashtrays in rows, but you know...

I feel alright
It's just another Sunday morning, then it's Sunday night
I feel alright
It's just the ghost of you behind me, sitting right up tight

I'll read the paper, but it's yesterdays
The world's gone mad and I'm going the same way
All by myself, yeah

When the sun is shining, but it don't give no hope
I'm into whining, and I'm all out of soap
But it's good to feel dirty, yeah

When you feel alright
Just another Sunday morning, everything's alright
I feel alright
It's just the ghost of you behind me sitting right up tight
Sitting right up tight

So many miles, between me and you
So many days, I don't know what to do
Be by myself, then I know...

I'll be alright
On another Sunday morning, another Sunday night
I'll be alright
With the ghost of you behind me sitting right up tight
Sitting right up tight
Sitting right up tight


"Brave the Storm"
Beautiful lyrics

There's a world where we can disappear, into our own little stratosphere
You see the stars up in heaven baby? They belong to me
You & me are gonna learn to fly, the little pathways across the sky
There's nothing here that can hold you baby, come along with me
The rain falls down, such a familiar sound
I'm on the ground, wet
Like the first time we met

Maybe now it's time to say goodbye, put your skirt on hitch it high
There's a wind gonna take us, baby, close your eyes to see
There's a world where we can start anew, set alight by sun & moon
The spirits cry in the rivers, baby, come along with me
The rain falls down, such a familiar sound
I'm on the ground, wet
Like the first time we met

Brave the storm (ok)

There's a sorrow in your eyes of green, a darker song I have never seen
I see the earth in your body baby, come along with me
The rain falls down, such a familiar sound
I'm on the ground, wet
Like the first time we met

Brave the storm
