Today’s “Haven’s Happenstance: Songs With A Message Series” #song, “Fix You” by #Coldplay. Every now and then rock bands create a gorgeous ballad that withstands the test of time, very few go on to be timeless classics, and when they do, it’s like magic felt over and over. The 80’s was filled with these little rock gems that came to be known as “power ballads” - what with White Lion’s “When The Children Cry,” Sheriff’s “When I’m With You,” countless Journey songs and even Skid Row’s “I Remember You.” “Fix You” is like an ode to a friend who is down in the dumps - for years I tried to lift someone who simply could not, at least not until he really tried and made an effort and he’s starting to do so now. Still, this song reminds me of that time and I look back regardless of all, fondly. Doing my best to hang in there this week, hugs - Haven
