It feels a bit strange to be writing The Morning Hour in the deep of the night... just a few hours before the next song will play and wake my ears to a new day... it feels also strange to be writing about a song and a group on which I wrote a lengthy article back in 2005, when I had the music column of OraD'Aria- good old groovy times! Closing the day on a slightly sad note... the link to my articles there seems to be out of order... bollocks!
the eyelids are getting heavier and the fingers more uncertain on the keyboard.. wrap it up man!
I've picked this acoustic version as I thought it may sound new to a few ones- I personally prefer the original version, it's punchier and the beat supports much better the panic mode of the average guy who finds out his girlfriend has been screwing somebody...
g'night!

"The Morning Hour": Snow Patrol, Crack the Shutters
today has been one of those quite typical London days... it's 6pm, almost weekend, the weather is good and the evening is promising... but there's a memory, rather vague at this point, that still today, the weather in the morning was awful, the grey overcast on the city so deep and heavy that no weekend feeling was remotely possible. Is it possible it was yesterday and not today...?
I distinctly remember that listening to the line of this song "Crack the shutters open wide, I wanna bathe you in the light of day", I opened my eyes and thought..."where the f. is this light of day???" well, now we have a great sunset and the sky is blue! (don't complain about that...)
Not a great fan of Snow Patrol, I actually find them a bit boring; i mean, a few good lines and tunes in the songs but never a real humpf! and after a while most of the songs look similar to me. I have the same problem with another British band who makes good song from time to time, Embrace- jezz,I feel like ratting on pop-rock bands today... Anyway, here's what the radio threw at me today

"The Morning Hour": The Killers, Spaceman
It's the first post and since we have to begin somewhere, why not beginning from the Morning Hour?
The Morning Hour has been so far a mini-blog in Facebook though I doubt most of the "friends" have actually ever read the notes below the posted video.
The idea is to record the first song that the alarm throws at me in the morning - ok, sometimes it's the second or third song given the amount of snoozing necessary before some corageous brain cell decides to wake up. The song in the Morning Hour has a different power compared to the rest of the music I listen to in the rest of the day; it usually sticks in my mind and can, I believe, influence my mood and my day as a whole.
Today it was Spaceman from The Killers, from their new album. I didn't know the song but it sounded good and quite catchy. It's well within "the Killers' style" but it wasn't bad as a pre-coffee tune! I gave a look at the lyrics as well and, consistently with the band's history so far, they are not banal nor stupid; certainly worth a few minutes of your time.
It's funny that, among the first things that the song made me think today, it's another song from my time in high school by a band called Babylon Zoo titled Spaceman as well. It's funny cause their frontman had really weird blue eyes and his picture had stuck into my brain for months back then, but it was years I hadn't recalled it. It's a great song too!
Anyway, here's Spaceman from the Killers:
