Is it just mean or does 2000 Miles seem like a Christmas song? It could just be me.

 

Edit: I also wonder if Reign of Love is a love song. Not really sure. Anyone got any thoughts on that?

wow, i thought this topic would take off like fire

You're correct, 2000 Miles is actually a Christmas song, originally recorded by The Pretenders (I think...)

It is by The Pretenders (: My Dad used to play it in the house every december. Its a great song. I like Coldplay's version though, its much more sweet and mellow.

Hey, any other week and this topic would be raging but with the full album out etc things are just kinda getting pushed aside. The Lounge is practically a wasteland.

 

2000 Miles is DEFINITELY a Christmas song as it was released on their website as a special CHRISTMAS PRESENT!! But it is a Pretenders cover.

 

And Reign of Love is more...ambiguous...."Locusts will lift me up" & "I wish I'd spoken up" kinda strike me of being a guy who was hit by the sudden fervor of romance but now, after marriage (hence "by the church we're waiting") he releases his mistake and wishes he'd said something as he is now trapped - "I'm just a prisoner in the reign of love".

 

It sounds like a hymnal but one of a rather dubious romantic nature.

 

But maybe that's just me? Romance hasn't being going to good for me the last while so maybe that's why I'm interpreting it this way.:\

2000 miles definitely reminds me of snow.

Would it have anything to do with having the word "snow" repeated many many times in the song??:)

lol i guess no one got the joke.:wink3: 2000 miles is pretty obviously a christmas song, and reign of love is all about love. i was just trying to start a light jokey topic. but if anyone actually didnt know, and they saw this thread, then i think they will now know lol.
