#MusicMonday EMPRESS by SNOW PATROL

My favourite day of the week! Music Monday is here and it's a fab tag hosted by Drew at The Tattooed Book Geek and gives you a weekly chance to share a tune!

Back to Snow Patrol for me today and I've been listening to Empress a lot recently!

You're angry but you don't know how to be that yet

It seems too much went wrong and all at once

Resistance seems impossible from down this low

And surely no one else can feel like this

But on the streets

You can see them gathering

And in your heart

You know they feel like you do

Sound and pulse and volume

Hands just reaching out for hands

This is almost overload

I said almost overload

Friends and foes and princes

Are all just human in the end

This is so damn simple, yeah

It's so damn simple

So standing in the steady throng of restless hope

You don't feel like an outcast anymore

And something deep inside of you has wakened up

And you know that nothing's gonna be the same again

And on these streets

You can see for what seems miles

Because in your heart

You know they feel like you do

Sound and pulse and volume

Hands just reaching out for hands

This is almost overload

I said almost overload

Friends and foes and princes

Are all just human in the end

This is so damn simple, yeah

It's so damn simple

Your mind won't be still

It may not again

You don't think it will

But it will, it will

Sound and pulse and volume

Hands just reaching out for hands

This is so damn simple, yeah

It's so damn simple

This is so damn simple, yeah

This is so damn simple

This is so damn simple, yeah

This is so damn simple
