Heard this song on the radio when i was feeling a bit mellow.

As if by cue, it comes on air. It’s called Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol.

If you play the guitar, this is a rather simple song to play. However, I think that the most striking element in the song is the lyrics.

check it out.

Here’s a link so that you can hear it on youtube:

and here’s the lyrics:

We’ll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don’t need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don’t quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They’re not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we’re told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that’s bursting into life

Let’s waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we’re told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that’s bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they’re all I can see

I don’t know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I can recall clearly being indifferent when i was reading an article in a mag; The title of the article - "The barber botched my haircut". The article explains what to do should the aforementioned event takes place.

At the time when I was reading it, I didn’t really care..but that has all changed two days ago. Here’s my tale of woe..

All my life i’ve never kept my hair long, which made me did just that. I took care of my hair and kept it long, and until two day ago, i’ve successfully had not cut my hair for 6 mths + all the proper and necessary care needed throughout the period.

By the 5th and 6th month, my long hair started to look a bit..just a bit unkempt, so i decided to find a barber to trim it a bit. When I’ve finally found one, I told him clearly that all i wanted is for him to trim my hair and he said ‘OK’. I repeated the instruction and he again said ‘OK’.

I sat down on his chair and he began cutting away. The first cut he made was a killing blow to my entire hair. he took one big lump and just cut it off. It was unbelievable that I din straightaway punch him in the face! All that ‘OK’ and he did this!

Since the killing blow was already made, there was no choice but to just cut the rest and sport a short hair. And that has made me realize why the article was written with so much zest. The barber botched my haircut!
