From the previous thread:

No problem, glad you could stop by.
Aww, you saw SP at the Coke Zero Fest? Awesome! So great to hear the crowd loved them.

Im glad that they stole the show, SP are brilliant.

Its time for a new thread. I'd love to open one, but I dont have a title, and I suck at coming up with them.

Oh, it's alright, V, feel free to open one anytime, when it's needed. The title can always be added later, if need be.

[Pure.Magic]

Sheesh, I completely forgot about that, Szilvia. I couldve added the title later. Next time. Im not going anywhere.

And TFTNT.

[happy mom]

No problem, next time sounds good.

You're welcome for the thread. Took me a while to come up with the title, but I think it works.

[Pure.Magic]

The title's great.

I havent come across any videos for the SP performance at the IPL yet. Still looking though.

Hey Mooshu Sorry you couldnt get to CT for the show. But you saw them on TV right? How was it? I havent been able to fin\d a video, could you tell us what songs they performed?

They only played two songs...Chasing Cars and I missed the other.

And wow, you saw SP, 2 weeks ago?

Golden Circle!! I almost cried when they performed Run...mainly for personal reasons - that song just means so much to me.

To be honest I doubt you'll find anything ...I've been looking on our sports channels for reruns but they've only showed the opening games and not the opening ceremony entertainment.

[happy mom]

Good luck with the search for any videos from the IPL opening ceremony. You never know, one might pop up sometime.

Thanks for the news thread and all the news everyone.

Gah, what I'd not give to see them live once. And their songs affect me the same way. I always end up in tears when I listen to You could be happy. It will kill me to listen to SP sing that song live, if I ever get to.

Dont you just love it when music can do that to you?

Awww man I cant believe this. Did no one record it or something? I just cant believe I missed it.

There was a SP interview in the newspapers here. I dont have a scanner, so I took a pic of it.

Paul said they'd love to come to India.

[happy mom]

Aww, V, your photo turned out awesome. Thank you so much for posting it.
Yay for the interview being published in your newspaper! Hopefully they really will be able to perform in India one day.
It was great to read what Paul had to say, especially about their style of songwriting - "We love being poetic."

Arghh!! I love that song. I heard the 1 min clip like 50 times. Thanks for the update, Szilvia.


Im glad they know it too, that the poetry in their songs is whats so appealing and thats their strength. It was so great to hear Paul talk about how they make those random electronic sounds.

I was so happy to see their interview, I actually went Yipeeee.

And you're welcome, I couldnt wait to share this here. Gah, now I just want them to be able to come India, and then my life would be complete.

[happy mom]

No problem. Yeah, I did the same thing with the short snippet.

Here's a full-length version of it, recorded from when it aired over the radio:

[Pure.Magic]

Awww, thank you so much, hun.

*skips off to youtube*

[happy mom]

You're welcome! How did you enjoy the new version? Or perhaps you're still listening to it?

[Pure.Magic]

I am. I love this version more than the one on the album.
