1. Gotye - Hearts A Mess
  2. Snow Patrol - Engines
  3. Sting - Fortress Around Your Heart

    " 'Fortress Around Your Heart' was written in the studio in '85, in Barbados. I'd just been playing around with those chords on the guitar - strange, modal chords. They sounded kind of medieval actually and so I got into a whole line of thinking about medieval sieges, castle walls, siege guns, armies sleeping under tattered flags and thought it was a nice metaphor for love gone wrong. Armies fighting each other, relationships having collapsed and gone from bad to worse, and what starts as love ends in war. It's about appeasement, about trying to bridge the gaps between individuals. The central image is a minefield that you've laid around this other person to try and protect them. Then you realise that you have to walk back through it.



  4. My favourite of Editors. What a song.
  5. Arcade Fire - Wake Up


    OOOOOOH, OH,
    OH OH OH OH OOOOOOH,
    OOOH OH OOOOH,
    OOOOOH OOOOOOOOOOOOOH....


    One of the songs that gives me the most goosebumps ever. Just from the memories of U2005, and seeing the band of my life come up onstage while this beautiful song was playing. Then came Uno Dos Tres Catorce and a lot more, but this song by Arcade Fire brings the most memories. What an awesome song...
