Welcome back to #MusicMonday! Can you believe it’s the fifth week I’ve done this feature already and I’m loving it?! It’s not about books, but about music, and I’m looking forward to presenting you with a taste of my playlist. It’s the brainchild of Drew from The Tattooed Book Geek, but my inspiration comes from the lovely Claire from A Knight’s Reads. Every Monday, I’ll be choosing a song to share with you. The Spotify playlist is here and it will be updated as I go along.

On Friday, I’m going to see Keane for the tour for the twentieth anniversary of the release of their debut album, Hopes And Fears. I can’t believe the album (which came out when I was doing my AS Levels) is twenty years old! The whole album is brilliant, so it was hard to pick just one track, but I really relate to this one.

Keane: Everybody’s Changing

You say you wander your own land
But when I think about it
I don’t see how you can
You’re aching, you’re breaking
And I can see the pain in your eyes
Says everybody’s changing
And I don’t know why

So little time
Try to understand that I’m
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game, I
Try to stay awake and remember my name, but
Everybody’s changing
And I don’t feel the same

You’re gone from here
Soon you will disappear
Fading into beautiful light
‘Cause everybody’s changing
And I don’t feel right

So little time
Try to understand that I’m
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game, I
Try to stay awake and remember my name, but
Everybody’s changing
And I don’t feel the same

So little time
Try to understand that I’m
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game, I
Try to stay awake and remember my name, but
Everybody’s changing
And I don’t feel the same

Ah! Everybody’s changing
And I don’t feel the same.
