You Will Be Mine - Lenka

Title: You Will Be Mine

Artist: Lenka

Album: Two (2011)

I was on a weekend trip to Singapore going in and out of stores, and thanks to my handy blackberry I was able to use Shazam to identify the track playing in the store... wupeee!

I've heard of the Australian singer's songs before and enjoyed watching her quirky videos but this song really caught my attention.
(I hope she comes up with a video soon) :)

So Here We Are - Bloc Party

Title: So Here We Are

Artist: Bloc Party

Album: Silent Alarm (2005)

Let's go back to 2005, when this UK band's single was released! It's a very light song with soft vocals. 

The lyrics are short compared to their other songs (but I like the message it's trying to convey) :)

I caught a glimpse, but its been forgotten
So here we are again
I made a vow, to carry you home... home

I really tried to do what you wanted
It all went wrong again

I made a vow, to carry you home
If you fall sick, if you pass out

I figured it out, I can see again

Paradise - Coldplay

Title: Paradise

Artist: Coldplay

Album: Mylo Xyloto (2011)

Yes, I happen to like Coldplay.

I'm a fan of alternative artists including instruments such as strings and the piano (well duh, they're coldplay). You can hear the violins in certain parts of this song. Plus there's a hint of an electronic piano sound. Nice mix. :)
