An Indian fix

 

Now for something different....

After some Simon & Garfunkel songs from a few decades ago, here is a song from Coldplay, one of our best UK bands of recent years.  But this is an Indian version of "Fix You", one of their best-known songs. It is performed by Indians on a mixture of Indian and western instruments.  I've always liked music where things are mixed, often called "fusion". 

For those who don't know the song, I've included the original too, and lyrics below..

 

 

 

When you try your best, but you don't succeed

When you get what you want  but not what you need

When you feel so tired,  but you can't sleep

Stuck in reverse

 

And the tears come streaming down your face

When you lose something, you can't replace

When you love someone, but it goes to waste

Could it be worse?

 

Lights will guide you home  and ignite your bones

   And I will try to fix you

 

And high up above or down below

When you're too in love to let it go

But if you never try, you'll never know

Just what you're worth

 

Lights will guide you home  and ignite your bones

   And I will try to fix you

 

Tears stream down your face

When you lose something, you cannot replace

Tears stream down your face 

and I  promise you, I will learn from my mistakes

Lights will guide you home and ignite your bones

   And I will try to fix you
