    Have you ever wondered to yourself  what you would do if you found the "perfect lady"? Have you ever wondered to yourself what it would be like to have the sexiest woman in the room with her legs wrapped around you in the bathroom of  some shit corner bar where everyone wants to fuck her?  Have you ever found yourself daydreaming about a woman so perfect, you thought she could never exist ? Yeah, well, I used to be just like you until this fire of a woman entered my life. When I say fire, I mean like a fucking blast furnace. I'll put it to you this way, it's like my entire soul , being,  every emotion and sexual desires have been soaked in gasoline for 40yrs and then Gwyen was the spark that lit me on fire.
    The first time I laid eyes on Gwyen was  about 10 or 11yrs ago.  I was at local pub with my fiance at the time, yeah, I was engaged then, more about that later on.  Anyway, prior to this night, I heard of this woman named Gwyen and how sexy she was, top notch personality , etc etc. Everytime I would hear about this woman through locals just talking I would think, shut the fuck up no like that exsits.  Then as I'm standing in front of the jukebox waiting for a drink I felt someone tap me on the shoulder , "Yo Mark, I want to introduce you to my cousin, Gwen!"  I turned around and I just stopped, my face probably went to "holy shit" . I could not fucking believe who was standing in front me.  She was probably 5'2 or 5'4, this reddish hair that was definitely about to light me on fire and her eyes, Jesus Christ her eyes! Are they blue? Are they fucking green? I couldn't tell  but they were absolutely stunning. Athletic built , just superior she was. Wearing a low cut vneck t-shirt, no bra and her nipples were staring at me as if they knew what my tongue was wanting to do.  "Hi, nice to meet you , Mark!" Her smile was so bright it made me feel special immediately.  I smiled right back at her and I think she knew what I was thinking.  After a quick hello and hand shake she turned to play a song on the jukebox and there it was, her ass. Now, understand , I'm an "ass man" and I mean I LOVE a woman's ass. There she was, her back turned to me and she's flipping through songs, putting her weight on one leg and then the other , switching back and forth making her ass wiggle just enough to start to turn me on, right there at the fucking jukebox .  She looked over her shoulder , just to see where her cousin went and she smiled at me again, then she looked at my cock, she smiled even bigger . Holy fuck, I had a hard-on!  Since I'm not exactly a "small guy"  but known to stretch a few in my time, she now saw the outline of my cock through my jeans. Right there at that moment the sexual tension was like I just got out of jail and I couldn't wait to slip my cock into my waiting princess. Because of me feeling like a douchebag since my fiance was there, I had to turn my attention back to our group of friends. I couldn't help but often turn to look in her direction and I would notice she did the same. Wow, I never had this feeling before, ever. Sure, I've seen beautiful woman and immediately thought I like to fuck her , but this, this was different.  This was a desire to know who she was, to know what makes her tick, what it would be like to feel her wet pussy accept my rock hard dick,  all at the same time. This was crazy! So the night ended and just like that, I never saw her again.
A few yrs later, we ran into each other at the liquor store and wow, all those feelings I mentioned before came back like a raging bull! We had some small talk and I would call it "fuck me flirting" on my end anyway. We went our separate way and then  she was gone again. I would see her in pics on social media and stuff like that but that was it, she was my personal Houdini. Then I heard through the grapevine that she got married, had child and was leading a great life. Well, fuck me then. 
    Now, let's fast forward to the present day, which would be 10yrs later or so. Since this time, I've been divorced and out of a 8yr relationship, a free man with no fucks to give.  A friend tells me about how Gwyen is unhappy in her marriage, struggling to stay with her husband etc. One thing leads to another and I think, "well Mark, send her a message and see what happens." I'm a confident man, I know what I bring to the table. If you deserve the world, I'll give you the universe , if you need to be told "get fucked" , well I won't hesitate. So, I did just that, I sent the message. I made up some bullshit reason for sending her a private message on Facebook.  She answered and enthusiastically I may add.  I couldn't fucking believe it!  We had some small talk a few times via messaging which then led to exchanging phones numbers. Messaging turned into texts, turned into phone calls (when she could since she was still in the house with her husband).  
    At first the conversations were like we were trying to get to know one another, gain some trust. It was playful , I felt like a teenager again with her. As the conversations progressed  it turned to more like, I'll say adult like chat. When I say adult chat, I mean she asked me to say something dirty to her, I was taken back and yet so fucking excited that she asked that, I thought "you better bring your " A" game Marko , it's showtime!" I have never ever done something like this, ever. So I did, I sent her a few hot, very erotic messages, they were getting so hot that I would start jerking off writing them to her , she fucking loved it. Then, THEN that's when I got ballsy and said fuck it , here comes a dick pic Gwyen , hope you like it!  Let's just say, she did. Then she returned one to me and my God, she was more gourgeous than I even imagined, standing in front of her mirror, topless with these perfect nickel sized nipples, hair in a pony tail and a look of seduction on her face.
    We would talk almost everyday from there on out. We would talk about everything in life, get a little frisky and then talk about life agian. This went on for weeks. Through these conversations, spilling our guts out to one another, not only did I want to fuck her like it was my last day on earth, but I wanted to hold her hand and be the one who told her "everything will always be ok". Fucking weird , right? What was this I was experiencing? 
Through out our messaging and calls, she asked what kind of music I listen to, I told her pretty much everything. Music is a way for me to connect to my emotions, my desires , the moment and so on. She asked me to send her some of the music I listen to. The very first song I sent was, Roses by The Chainsmokers , I thought (and still do) think that is a very sexual song, Everytime I heard it I would think of her. She also loves that song, little did I know. To this day when it comes on, my mind rewinds at warp speed to her and the first time our lips touched. (Feel free to go ahead and put the song in, I guarantee you want to fuck the person next to you immediately).
These in-depth , intimate conversations went on for a long time without seeing each other, at all. Kinda sounds like a cat fish story, but that it was not. This woman was becoming a part of my soul, my heart and I couldn't get a grasp on that, nevermind the whole her being married part, I was dying inside just to talk to her face to face, eyes looking at eyes.
Then my dream came true, I was invited to have a few drinks with her sister and herself. I had to think for a moment, "are you gonna do this? What's gonna happen? Holy fucking shit yes I want to go, I didn't give 2 fucks about anyone else but her and I.
We decided on a place to go, the 3 of us. I got there first, the friggin anticipation was killing me. It was only me, the bar keep and 3 other people there and then the door opened. It was them, first her sister and then her. There it was, that smile, just as bright as it was 10yrs prior. We said hello, gave a little friendly hug and sat and ordered some drinks, beer for me and her sister, vodka and cranberry for her.
We sat and drank for a while, talking, laughing, discussing our pasts, people we mutually know blah blah blah. The whole time I was a nervous little fucker, "am I saying the right things, is she in to me, why is she here , dear God don't let me fuck this up! " Ya know, all the normal shit that goes through your head when you're into someone. She was just as sweet, kind and sexy in person as in the texts. See, no cat fish here.
Her sister decides it was time for her to get on the road back home. Gwyens sister drove them both there. She turns and asks me, would you be able to get Gwyen back to her car later. "Absolutely" I said. Holy shit, it's now just gonna be us two. But then, Gwyen yes why don't you take me to my car now. My heart kinda slowed, disappointment started to set in, "is this it? Did I say something wrong? Oh, just shut the fuck and take her to her car" I said to myself. " Sure, no problem, I replied
    We said our good byes to sis, I was warned to take good care of her. I opened the car door for her , she seemed surprised. I smiled and said "what?" Lol. She replied that no one has ever done that for her before. Well I told her, not everyone is me.
We started to drive towards her car which actually was only 4 blocks away. She told me, "keep driving, I love talking to you". So I did. Now, I wasn't sure what to do, my head was telling me to be a gentleman but my hard-on was telling me other wise. I always try to be a gentleman because that's what a true man should be. "Treat her like a lady in the streets, and a freak in the sheets".
We were driving for maybe 20 mins and she turns and says, "find a parking spot so we could talk and I could look at you". I found the closest , most secluded area I could and parked. We turned to each other , we smiled for a few secs. No radio on, no traffic on the street, just me, her and our throbbing sexual desires for one another. Her face got serious, and she softly whispers, "are you going to kiss me?" I didn't hesitate for a split second. We closed in on each other's lips, starring into each other's eyes and our lips touched. First it was intimate, then quicky became like 2 horny teenagers in dad's car. I softly nibbled on her lower lip while I took my hands and gently cupped her face and pulled her in harder so our tongues could feel one another. We slowly circled each other's. My cock was throbbing, I may have came a little I was so excited. I could feel her hips start to move as of she was grinding her pillow before bed. She stared to raise herself up, like you would do if you want someone to undress you. And then, she pulled away and looked at me as if she was frighteed. Oh fuck I thought. She said "we should stop, I'm fucking married , I'm so sorry". I understood, I'm a human being with feelings and emotions and try to understand everyone else's. I gave her a hug and made sure she knew she was safe with me and it never had to go any further. She thanked me. Then I dropped her off at her car.
Once I got home , I got text from Gwyen asking me if i regretted it, I said absolutely not and that I loved every second of it. She sent another text saying "I've never ever been kissed liked that, it was intense." I smiled and thought , maybe there would be a second one.
The next day I woke up feeling like a new man, a different man, but new none the less. At this point in our friendship or whatever you want to call it, we would text in morning and throughout the day. I recieved an unexpected text from Gwyen stating she's on her way to my house, by this time she was probably already there, we didn't live far from each other. I ran downstairs and sure as shit, there she is at my front door. I let her in not knowing what to expect. She said , "after last night I just needed to see you again". Wow, she was really into me I thought". I replied that I felt the same. She said I should show her around my house. As we made our way up the stairs , by her direction may I add, her ass was just inches from my face, it took everything I had not to bend her over right there and stick my tongue into her. She said, " so this is the bedroom" and without hesitation she laid in my bed and pulled me on top. We kissed like we never stopped from the night before. My hands roamed her body as if they never felt a woman before, her hands clawing at my back. I sat up for a second, she asked if we should wait, I said no. I started to unbutton her shorts as she undid mine. She lifted her hips up and I slid her shorts off, she wasn't wearing panties. There she was, this beautiful woman, with her legs spread open , her pussy was already soaked and glisening and then she took my pants off. She whispered to me, "please fuck me with your huge cock but be gentle" and she guided all 8 inches of me into her. It took a few slow thrusts to get inside of her but once I did, that was it. It was like 2 lost souls finding each other. I could feel her shaking as her pussy pumped from excitement, my cock was harder than a piece of steel as she slid on it. She shouted, "I'm cumming!" I couldn't last long after that and I told her I was going to cum, she said "please don't pull out, I want to feel your cock pump me full of you." So I did exactly what she asked.
When we were finished, sticky, wet and the smell of sex in the air was enough to keep us both smiling. It was a hot summer day in May that I will never forget. That was the day my life changed forever.
She had leave soon after because she was suppose to be running errands. I had to sit down and really take in what I just experienced. It wasn't just a great organism, it was something much deeper. It was like a spiritual thing going on. I felt complete, finally fulfilled. She was the one I was looking for this whole time. Charlie Puth - one call away.
Did I mention she was a school teacher? Well, if that doesn't make her even more hot, I don't know what will. She really loved when I would send her dirty texts and pics through her school day. I would be able to get her pussy so wet from a juicy text or a straight up cock pic , fully hard and ready to explode.
The one day she came to my house before going home, walked in my door with this cute little sundress on. I walked right up to her with authority , no words were exchanged, I just took her, turned her face forward to the wall and spread her legs. I pulled that sundress up and quickly slid my cock from her clit to the top of her ass and then right into her soaking wet pussy. I thrusted myself into her makingr her know I was there. She bent over even more and picked her ass up just enough for her to be on her tippy toes. With every plunge of my cock I watched her perfect ass jiggle and hear my balls slapping off her clit. I held both her arms in my one hand against the wall and I slowly circled her clit with my other hand all while fucking her the way she wanted to be fucked. We were both right where we were suppose to be, surrendering to one another, like raging animals just thristing for each other. When I finally came in her, she turned to me, grabbed my face with both hands and kissed me. As she walked away I could see a trail of cum in the inside of her thigh. Fuck that was sexy. Omi - fireworks
We would chat as often as possible through out the day, but see each other as often as she could. The time went by slow when I wasn't with her or talking to her. She was all I could think about. Everything in my life was going the right way, good job, decent place to live, nice car, a bit money stashed away, she was the missing puzzle piece for me. I was so excited I would danced around the house to music. Cue - Flo Rida Blow My Whistle
I recall the one day I told her how beautiful she was and she replied immediately that it's been years since someone told her that. I was fucking floored by that statement. I thought, how dare someone be so self centered and be an inconsiderate prick not to tell her all the time how gorgeous she was! I thought, fuck this! I'll make sure she knows she beautiful and nothing short of that. This beautiful gem of a woman, with compassion, giving, sensitivity, a golden heart be let down by all the douchebags she's had in her life. I actually had to sit for a moment and think , why do I feel this way. So angry that she didn't feel beautiful, didn't feel appreciated etc. Then I knew. I was in love with her. Our intimate conversations, our deep understanding of each other and the trust we had right out of the box plus the ridiculous sexual urges we had for each other all added up to this one moment enlightenment. It was love.
"Jesus Christ , Mark you can't tell her that, she's still married and its way too soon to pop that on her." So, I went online visited some underwear shops and picked out something I though she'd like and purchased it. She stopped by my house the one day just to say hi, she couldn't come in so I met her in my alley and gave her the gift. Inside was a little note that said "you should always feel beautiful." She started to cry because no one has ever done that before, thought about her. I was like holy fuck, what is wrong with men. She should be treat like a queen and that's what I wanted to do. Thomas Rhett - Die a happy man.
She sent me a pic of her in her new, sexy as fuck underwear along with the song- Keep my hands to myself - Selena Gomez. It drove me crazy
She knew I wasn't that big on cooking, I was eating shit out of a box that was microwavable. She would take time out of her night just to bring me dinner. I couldnt believe that. Someone thought about me! Are we really this lucky to find each other? So the one night she decided to bring some dinner she cooked, when she came into my home, I couldn't help my self, I picked her up, she wrapped her legs around me and I set her in the kitchen counter. My heart was pounding, not only with sex on the mind but I really loved this woman. I pulled the black leggings off her like unwrapping a present and just forced my dick inside her. I was so deep I could see my cock moving in her stomach. She held into me with such strength and tightness as if she never wanted to let go. I was thinking , maybe she loves me.
Actions always speak louder than words for me. Words mean shit because we all say bullshit nonsense that we don't mean at times. Let someone do whatever they want and then watch their actuons, that's my modo. She would find time to see me, call , text whatever. Actions.
Gwyen had to go out of town for a weekend, something with teaching during the summer. She asked if I would come and see her one day. It was a 2hr drive and I didn't give a fuck, I get to see her. So I drove down on that Friday night and picked her up at her hotel. She was standing with her coworker. I was like "oh shit, snagged". I forget her friend's name, but she peaked her head inside my car and said " so, you're him. I knew there was something up! You are what I picture her with." Then she walked away. Gwyen got in and said, "well that cat is outta the bag." But she wasn't worried, girl code I guess.
We got to have dinner together for the first time. We sat and talked. Gwyen said something to me that no one ever ever said to me "I can listen to you talk forever". Here I thought I was a blabbing idiot, but she really enjoyed my company, our conversations etc. Wow. So i had to take her back to the hotel, it was raining that night. We parked and she said, "jump in the back" and like a trained German Shepard i leaped back there. She came back with me, we couldn't control ourselves any longer that night. She was wearing a romper, she loves those things, no underwear, so I tore the crotch out of them and fucked her just like I loved her. Her hands were on the glass, pushing herself on my cock like it belonged to her, it did. When she got out she smiled and wanted to say something, but she just ran to the door in the rain. I wanted to walk her to her room but her other co workers couldn't see me. I drove 2hrs home thinking, this is the girl for me.
There were so many special features with Gwyen. I wanted her more and more and more. She said that the time for her marriage to end was coming soon, so I held on. It was scary, frustrating and disappointing at times but I really wanted her in my life, all the time. Our connection was so real and pure it was nerving.
She made the jump one night and decided she wanted to stay over at my place. I was so excited, I made sure the house was perfect , had all the wine she could drink , the lightening, I wanted it to be perfect. When she showed up, it was like she came home to me after a days work, it was comforting. We talked, drank, watch movies. It was great. She then started to rub my cock under the blankets. I thought, here we go. I picked her up and put her in the floor. I started to kiss her neck and lightly lick little circles just under her ear. I made my way down to those link perfect nipples and just sucked on one at a time. I went down further to her belly area , she started to rub the top of my head but I grabbed her hands and held them to her belly, I felt her legs open even wider. As I worked my way down to the top of her pussy, I could feel her breathing getting heavier and heavier. I was so close to her that she could feel my breath on her dripping wet pussy. I made sure to hold her tight so she could move nor could she touch me, she went wild as I could see her stomach twiching. I licked her clit for second, just to tease her and then kissed the inner thigh by the labia while holding her arms tight. Once I started to circle around her labia once or twice ,I knew it was time to opened her up with my tongue just to hear her moan in satisfaction. I stopped a few times to gently lick her clit and insert my middle finger in her at the same time. I used my tongue to cover every inch of her perfect womanhood. I was inserting my tongue inside her while I took one hand and softly pinched her nipples and that's when she started to grind on my face because she was cumming. I sucked on her clit for a few moments and then she started cumming right in my mouth , just how I wanted her to. As soon as she orgasmed, she pushed me on my back, and took my cock right inside her mouth and tried to get the whole thing in. I was so hard it was actually pulsating with my heart beat. I came so fast in her, I couldn't help it, I loved tasting her pussy so much that it would make me cum , nevermind watching the beautiful woman whom I loved just take me in her mouth . God I love her. LL COOL J - Doin it
Im going to rewind a bit, I'm telling this story in Quentin Taritinos movie style , so bare with me. I need to tell you how Gwyen had this way of making me feel like I was the only one who existed. She was soft when she spoke to me, she always made my thoughts and feelings come first. She actually wanted to hear what I had to say, even if she had to force it out of me. I would get a text out of the blue just saying hi or heart or whatever. It would always make my day. When she held my hand I could feel the energy flowing from her into me, I'm telling you it was on such a higher level of connection. It would be me she would come to when needing to be held or to be told "it's gonna be ok". She was choosing me over everyone. I was the luckiest guy to live. I found her, she was for me. Maroon 5 - lovers do.
I asked her to a movie , out of town so we could actually be a "couple " forjust a few hrs and she gladly accepted my invite. We decided on lunch and a mivie. I could tell she was scared to be seen, but she did it anyway, that said a lot to me. Lunch was great, the movie even better but the most I loved about it was holding her hand in the theater and watching her watch the movie. Man, what a great experience. Her cute facial expressions with every scene, I loved it! It was a very special moment for me, that I'll always remember.
Moving along,a great friend of mine who lived a few hours in a big city asked if I wanted to go to a beer festival and if I had anyone I wanted to bring, GWYEN! I thought, we could get away for a night.
So off we went, she asked her sister to go and came up with some excuse for her husband so it was all good. Gwyen wasn't even a beer drinker, she loves her wine and some mixers. I mean, this woman went to an event she didn't have to, away from home, over night and took a big risk just to be with me. It warms my heart what she was willing to do for me, his I loved her. We had a great time, drinking, eating singing, dancing it was truly a good day. We ended up at a bar late that night for few more cocktails, like we needed it. I saw Gwyen looking for the bathroom, stumbling and giggling Soni decided to follower her. We ended up in some dark room, definitely not a bathroom and she pulled me close to her so we could kiss like savages. She stuck her hand down my pants and started to jerk me off and I was finger fucking her at the same time. I pulled her shorts down just enough to squeeze my cock in her from behind. As soon as I was in, well we hear "who the fuck is in there, that room is off limits" we both got dressed quickly while laughing our asses off. I had a huge wet mark on my pants from how wet she got. It was fucking funny. See, that's what I loved about us, nothing else mattered but her, me,the moment and that's it.
When we were apart I would spend most of my day thinking of ways to show her my gratitude and appreciation of her. I wanted to tell her that I was in love with her, but I couldn't bring myself to do it just yet. I did what I could because we still had distance between us. I would send her a song, a nice pic of the day , whatever I could. One day her little girl got sick and I felt terrible , Gwyen did to, she is such a great mom, loving, caring. I tried to think of a way to help with her little girl feeling better. So I hurried ran to the store and got a DVD for her to watch. I actually went to Gwyens house to drop it off because her husband was at work. The look on Gwyens face , once again, as in disbelief someone thought about her. Well, that's just who I am. Gwyen and I had the same heart, same soul, she did those sweet things for me too. She would make a coffee run bright and early Saturday mornings and sure as shit, she'd be waiting outside of my house to bring me my Java and a smile. My Saturdays were the best.
One Saturday morning Gwyen came inside to have coffee with me, I was so surprised. We sat and talked and a conversation started about her family and what our future would look like once she got divorced. During the conversation, it came up about how I would be accepted my her family. I asked "do you think they'll like me?" Her reply, " they're gonna love you! I asked, "how could you be sure they'll love me?" She answered, without hesitation, " because I love you." We both just stopped and looked at each other. I know what I heard, but I couldn't believe it. So like an idiot I said "what did you say?" She replied "nothing, I have to go." Gave me a kiss and out the door she went.
Did Gwyen really just say I love you? Did she mean it? Christ, I wanted her to say it a thousand times because I wanted to scream "I love you, Gwyen!" from the rooftops everyday. But I had to play it cool . She truly stole my heart , she's an amazing woman.
I really felt like we were heading somewhere when Gwyen asked to do an over night stay at friend's house a few hours away. This friend was Gwyens go-to, best friend of all time. I was nervous, this was a big step I thought. Of course I said yes. Gwyen made the hotel arrangements and we drove off to Cindy's house.
Every car ride we took, every moment we were together felt like utopia for me, perfect bliss. We would either not shut the fuck up or sit in complete silence just embracing eachothers presence. If you never had that, well, don't stop looking because it's magical.
On this car ride , she decided to talk about leaving her husband and the best/easiest and less painful way to do it. See, she even felt horrible for doing what she was about to do because of her compassion for other people. On the other hand, she wanted what she wanted and that was happiness. It didn't mean with just me but with life. I admired that about her. Deftones - passenger
Once we got into town, she took me to a wine tasting, I've never been to one before. She wanted to introduce me to new thjngs. All I needed was the new way to be cared about the way she did but the wine was good too but not one of them was as sweet as her.
Once we checked in and unpacked, Gwyen wanted to show me around her old stomping grounds, she was originally from this area we were in. As we left , walking to my car, she was in front of me (you always let a lady go first) I had this uncontrollable urge just to "sweep her off her feet", I snuck up from behind, picked her up and carried her to the car like the precious cargo she was. She was startled and excited all at the same time. We just looked into each other's eyes as we made our way to my car. It was at that moment that I felt like I was carrying my queen or even maybe the key to unlock all the happiness this world has to offer. How about that? All those emotions unleashed in a 20-yard walk. I could never imagine how much I was going to miss her. Pitbull - Give me Everything.
We had a great time, we just went out for a drinks and met some other friends. Cindy was very welcoming and she already knew about me and pretty much all the details of Gwyen and I. Cindy was pro Team Gwyen/Mark.
Gwyen had these cute little saying that would make me laugh everytim she used them: craziness, what's happening here, it's just craziness. Lol. I still laugh to this day. I would sit around on those days we couldn't see each other and think about all those little things that I adored and I started to realize I wanted her in my life, I would literally laugh out loud in my house. Cue Jason Derulo - want to want me.
I could explain every detail of our time, there's so much more to tell but I'm fast forwarding now.
The days and nights I wouldn't hear from Gwyen were long. I would get depressed. Not truly able to understanding her circumstances I thought it was me. Or maybe I just didn't mean anything to her. It was confusing. As the months went on we got further and further away from what I thought would be our new world, a world of understanding, compassion, intimacy and pure love.

Cronus.mp3
27 + 26 tracks straight from Cronus Ampora’s media player. 93 + 87 minutes. One part straight pop, one part mostly more credible music.
[Side A] [Side B]
Oooh boy, I’ve been putting publishing this off for so long because it’s just never perfect, but truth is it never will be so I might as well publish it. The idea was to make a playlist of music that Cronus would listen to and/or identify with, eventually this split into two playlists, somewhat arbitrarily divided between pop and rock. Below are links to the songs, but I don’t think that any one lyric will be representative of the song and why I view it as a Cronus song, neccessarily.
The one band I include twice is Le Kid, mostly to juxtapose their excellent cover of Mr. Brightside with the original. Unfortunately, the version on YouTube isn’t as good as the studio version, which also seems to be floating around on tumblr for anyone interested.
Side A - Pop
Justin Bieber -  Sorry - You gotta go and get angry at all of my honesty
Le Kid -  Mercy Mercy - You should be saying you will treat me, treat me right
Erasure -  Love To Hate You - Sending shivers up and down my spine

COLDPLAY - ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT IS YOU [5.56] Also: 3D, the Chainsmokers, the past...
Joshua Copperman: A stunning return to form, especially after the low point of "Something Just Like This." There's the intimacy of pre-Parachutes EPs, the massive band-driven crescendos of Rush of Blood to Viva La Vida, and the neon-pop of Mylo Xyloto onwards. It's not the first time they've referenced Massive Attack, nor the first time they've anchored a song with a circular piano riff. "AICTAIY" is a great encapsulation of Coldplay's career up to this point, and only the underwritten, clunky lyrics and crushed mastering keep this from their upper tier. [8]
Maxwell Cavaseno: Ironically, the year of Coldplay's most shameless grab for commercial relevance is the year they say fuck it and divorce themselves from their naked earnestness. It's a satisfying mix of their usual pomp, once that piano bangs them to life and they go into U2 on the Horizon mode, and the ponderous navel-gazing of the intro that makes such a swift rise so effective. It's a simple formula, but frankly, Coldplay have worked so hard at constantly trying to prove they're so much more than their basic influences that it's fair enough that they want to do the old trick they used to do well. [6]
Alex Clifton: I hear echoes of "High Speed" and "Clocks" here, and I'm not sure if that's good (Coldplay returning to their roots!) or bad (recycling the same goddamn chords for the past 17 years!) Still, that's the Coldplay I fell in love with back in 2004, and I much prefer this style over their club thumpers. Between Chris Martin's slurred vocals (where's the crispness we had on Parachutes, where you could identify every word?) and the jam-session build that abruptly ends, this is middle-of-the-road in their discography. But it's the least annoyed I've been with a Coldplay song since 2011, which is really saying something. [5]
Thomas Inskeep: The opening rhythm is reminiscent of Massive Attack's "Teardrop," so I'm immediately predisposed to like this. Then Chris Martin actually shows restraint vocally, making this a darker-shaded, more nighttime-listening Coldplay single -- at least until about three minutes in. Then he starts bellowing, but there's at least a warm choir to counterbalance some of his vocal. They sure know how to screw up their own songs, don't they? [5]
Katherine St Asaph: Everything here from chords to percussion to piano timing, suggests a live-band version of "Teardrop." Which is fine -- given House I'm surprised someone hadn't ripped it off sooner. But "Teardrop" had Liz Fraser. Coldplay has a dude with stitched-together lips and a head cold. [5]
Alfred Soto: Dudes, David Bowie's "Lazarus" already boasted this kind of poignant high end bass line strumming, and no one goes to Coldplay for mumbled hooks over echo, cooed like a pigeon flying over the Grand Canyon. [4]
Iain Mew: I used to listen quite a bit to a CD compilation I made of all the B-sides from Coldplay's singles from Parachutes and before. Intimacy and atmosphere pushed even more to the fore than the album, it had a lot of great songs to be enveloped in. That probably makes me among both the most generous and harshest possible listeners for their new attempt to recapture that sound. It means that the first half of the song still gives me an unmistakable warm feeling, even though the vocal processing adds a little more distance than even "Oceans" did not so long ago. It also means that I have no patience at all when it turns into exploding "Clocks." [6]
Ryo Miyauchi: Languid music and underwater reverb on Chris Martin's voice, this is a sonar blip away from being a sibling to "Oceans" from Ghost Stories. Never mind the attempts at deep metaphors; who else other than Martin reaches for a pair of shoes to express separation? All that nonsense fades away once he gets to shouting straightforward platitudes such as the title at the top of his lungs. [6]
Claire Biddles: Deeply unfashionable as it may be to admit, I still carry a torch for early Coldplay. I don't think I was the only melancholy child who treasured the lilting misery of Parachutes in the alternative music abyss of the pre-Strokes early 2000s. In fact, I know I wasn't, because (even more unfashionably) I joined the band's message board in 2002, resulting in a lifelong friendship with TSJ's very own Iain Mew, who wrote a series of thoughtful posts about the subject for One Week One Band. I don't care much for anything they've done since their debut, but -- as we all do, as selfish music consumers -- I sometimes wonder what they'd sound like if they'd built their subsequent sound around the things I liked most about them; if they hadn't felt the need to always be bombastic, and instead had allowed their more speculative, thoughtful moments room to breathe and grow. The first two and a half minutes of "All I Can Think About Is You" are like a parallel world where my daydreams have miraculously become real -- it's untreated and unpolished and quite lovely, reminding me both of Radiohead's "The Tourist" and of that song's advice: "Hey man, slow down!" But just as it's leading us somewhere interesting, they lose their confidence, overcompensate, and it turns into an overproduced rehash of "Clocks." It's rare that I wish a band would go smaller and quieter, but I can't help but think Coldplay still have unspent potential hidden behind the primary colours and capital letters. [5]
