Lexie's Chain: The Two Hundred and Thirty Second Chain

Hello pals. Welcome to week 232 of #lexieschain. Last week the winner was Harvs wiv Anthem by Leonard Cohen. Let's see what we got dis week:

@claptonterrier
last week Sir Terence chose a song called Anthem by Leonard Cohen…we thought about doing some research about Mr Cohen and the clever lyrics to his songs and picking some clever song as a result…but instead we looked at rock anthems…far easier…..so this week our link is Mr Brightside by The Killers….much nicer boys than their name would suggest.





@terenceterrier
Larst week da winning linky woz Anthem by Leonard Cohen. There be lotsa anthems to choose from as linkies but fort a rendishun of God Save Da Queen mite not be kwite wot would impress da judge. So I looked at footie club anthems instead n gives you da Liverpool FC one Gerry & The Pacemakers wiv You'll Never Walk Alone . *sways along to da moosik wearing red footie shirt*




@borderpup
Well dun to Tel for picking Anthem by Leonard Cohen! When we fink of anthems, we fink of songs where people sing along and wave their lighters (or mobile phones these days!). One of our faves is On a Day Like This by Elbow. It has been used in lots of tv progs and stuff, and was the closing song for the London Olympics. We are choosing the performance from Glastonbury last year, where the rain clouds cleared to reveal a lovely sunset while they sang 'it's feeling like a beautiful daaaaaay'. Magical!

Well done @bunnersandharvs for winning with 'Anthem' by Leonard Cohen. We were struck by the line "a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in" and how, when things are broken, that in light there is hope of change & repentance. So this week we are going with the themes of hope & light with 'Run' by Snow Patrol




@maggietkat
Well done with Leonard Cohen's "Anthem"! When I think of Cohen, I recall the incredible performance by K.D. Lang at the 2010 Winter Olympics. We were all mesmerized by the power of Lang's voice in Cohen's hymn, "Hallelujah".





@djladylexie
Another great Leonard Cohen song was Suzanne - a girl he had a platonic relationship wiv. A platonic friend is someone wot you is friends wiv and the subject of sex never comes up. We all needs friends from time to time and we needs em through the good times and the bad times. That's why I chosed Lean On Me.
