Well that's a coincidence!
It is but that's only if you believe in coincidences which I don't believe in them
You can't believe or not believe in coincidences. The whole point of them is that they are things that have happened by pure chance. You can believe in fate, or karma, and that things happen 'for a reason'. But a coincidence isn't a matter of belief.
If I say, I haven't seen my friend Bill in a while, then 5 minutes later I happen to bump into Bill on the street, then it IS a coincidence. I don't have to believe there's anything behind it, it's just purely coincidental that I happened to have been talking about him a few minutes before seeing him.
What do you think about syncroncitiy?
It's a great album, although Regatta de Blanc is better.
