Bronchitis

London: Red guitar...

"I heard he sang a good song
  I heard he had a style
  and so I came to see him
  and listen for a while

  And there he was this young boy,
  A stranger to my eyes
  Strumming my pain with his fingers
  Singing my life with his words
  killing me softy with his song

killing me softly with his song
telling my whole life
with his words
killing me softly with his song

I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters
and read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish
but he just kept right on...

Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
killing me softy with his song.

He sang as if he knew me
In all my dark despair
And then he looked right through me
As if I wasn't there
And he kept on singing
Singing clear and loud

Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softy with his song"

(Roberta Flack, Killing me softly) 

London: A rush of blood to the head...

"I'm gonna buy this place and burn it down
I'm gonna put it six feet underground
I'm gonna buy this place and watch it fall
Stand here beside me baby in the crumbling walls

I'm gonna buy this place and start a fire
Stand here until I fill all your hearts desire
Because I'm gonna buy this place and see it burn
And do back the things it did to you in return

You said I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war
If you can tell me something worth fighting for
Oh and I'm gonna buy this place is what I said
Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head"

(Coldplay, A rush of blood to the head)

London: Winter Wonderland@ Hyde Park

London: Lithium. Occupy London

"I'm so happy 'cause today
I found my friends
They're in my head"

(Nirvana, Lithium) 

  

London: "Peace is tough" - by Jamie Reid

A truly inspirational exhibition containing the original artwork depicting the beginnings of punk rock design in UK brought by The master anarchist himself, Jamie Reid. Right in the middle of London, a step back in the 70s, a non-conventional space where the only boundaries are the ones in visitor's mind.

Update:
For those of you eager to hear him sharing his thoughts, there's more... thanks to Merge Festival!
