Clocks

Clocks by Coldplay

The BBC played the intro or outro to this song roughly 29,387 times a day between programming. And still today, I am not sick of this song. This, frankly, is amazing. I hear those first few notes and I'm immediately flying, about 100 feet above London, down Tottenham Court Road and then Charing Cross Road, though Leicester Square, around Trafalgar Square and down Whitehall passing Whitehall in the process. I finally come to Westminster and Big Ben and Victoria Tower. Or I'm walking along the Embankment and there is the Thames on my left... or better yet I'm atop the hill in Regent's Park. In other words, if I ever want to go back to London, I just put on Clocks. The beautiful piano takes me there just like that.
