Just months after Coldplay released their #1 debut album,
Parachutes, in England, they were hailed as Band of the
Year 2000 in the music press. How did these four college
friends become the poster children for a nation's emotions?
It may have happened at the speed of light, but it wasn't
as easy as it seems.
Coldplay secured a permanent position in Britain's music
elite by writing beautiful, simple songs that gently pulled
at the heartstrings of a nation. Somewhere in between the
confident, vulnerable guitar playing of Jonny Buckland, the
melodic bassline of Guy Berryman, thoughtful drumming of
Will Champion, and lead Chris Martin's stark, tenor vocals
are answers for the soul. Although melancholy stands behind
every Coldplay song, each one is also steeped in an More...

sorry for everything I said... but I guess it was meant for us not to be together. The nights are lonely and I can't seem to fall asleep. My body switches positions every min of the night. The thought of you just won't go away.
meaning to me | Reviewer: Jimmy
------ About the song Fix You performed by Coldplay
This song is really close to my life. The meaning of this song to me is that there are certain things missing in ones life which give them a strong feeling of rejection, depression or a state of instability towards living their life properly. You get everything but those are not the ones you actually need to be happy. If u r not happy with your life there is nothing that can give you that happiness except the actual thing that you need. But there is someone for everyone who wont let you leave he wont let it over no matter how depressed you get there is someone somewhere for everyone. Good Luck

------ About the song Till Kingdom Come performed by Coldplay
"This is one my favourite Coldplay songs, no doubt. But I think there's missing some more lyrics. At about 4:42 of the song, he sings: "Are you missing something? Looking for something? Tired of everything? Searching and struggling? Are you worried about it? Do you wanna talk about it? Ohhhhh, you gonna get it right some time...."
Cheers"
Wrong song, thats "How you see the world". Same album, different song.

Whenever I listen to this...it's always reminding me of a new situation but with the same whole idea...losing love. Before it was when I cheated on my bf...but now its reminding me of me being in love with someone else, not my bf...while he's in love with me...and the guy I'm in love with barely knows I'm there...-sigh-
Speed of Sound | Reviewer: Analisa
------ About the song Speed Of Sound performed by Coldplay
This is probably one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
My interpretation of this song is simply: God. I happen to be a very skeptical, Agnostic young person, and I've completely lost my faith in all things a while back. But this song is proof, to me, that there is something so beautiful, and far greater in this world than I could ever imagine. And I think this song is almost on the spot to describing the "magic" in this world.

Now, this guy below me has hit the nail. Right on the head. Fantastically put. Love IS different for everyone - it can happen to anyone at anytime at any age. Love is such an intangible, ambiguous, complex concept that it's impossible to establish a set standard, a "real" love. Adults may love differently, that is true, but they cannot say that they love MORE than youths can. There's no limit to love based on age - we CAN love as much as we want, and we DO love powerfully. The difference between youthful love and adult love is just a different point of view. We're naturally a bit more passionate, and adults are naturally more about commitment, now that the passion has worn off. I'm committed to my Annie, I know I'm not going anywhere ANYTIME soon (and I know she isn't, either) - it's true that as time progresses and as she and I grow older together, passion, naturally, will slowly subside, leaving commitment and intimacy. A lot of that, to put it literally, is because of brain chemistry (I won't go into that right now), but the magic is still there. Who can say that intimacy, commitment, and passion aren't all there with Annie and me NOW? You can't because, simply put, you are not us. I'm passionate about Annie; if you could see us together, you'd see we're quite intimate. And I know we're committed to each other (sure, in a different way than adults). Love is different for everyone. Anyone at any age can love, albeit in a different way. I know I love Annie and I don't plan on ever leaving her. How is it right for someone else to tell me that what I feel is fake? It's not, and they're wrong. But thanks to the guy below for clarifying.

We each experience our own version. There is no objective standard. No amount of intensity that at last crosses the threshold of "real."
I hope everyone is out there finding out what love is for them. The more of us deeply engaged in that exploration, well, it changes everything.
No need to put each other and our feelings into boxes. We're all good enough at that ourselves, already.
Much love, everyone. Heartspeed.

I love Coldplay. Most of their music isn't heard on the radio, especially this song. Well, one day I was crying my eyes out and feeling hopeless, when this song came on. It immediately touched my soul because it was exactly what I was feeling and at the same time, I felt like it was a message from God saying, "even when everything goes wrong, I'll be right here to fix you and give you the strength you need." It is a great song of hope.

the meaning of this song is that nothing is perfect. no situation, no person, no nothing. everyone and everything has a fault or a defect. but if you find that someone that will love you for you are and be willing to help you become the person you want to, then you will be fine, that is the meaning to this song, that someone or something will fix you, no matter what the problem is or how you feel, you will find that someone who will take care of you and make sure that you find your meaning and happiness, fix you is a beautiful song and is a ray of hope , yes you will lose people you love and yes you will have things you want but not necessarily what you need, but those are things that can be helped by love and finding yourself, and someone that loves you will help in those categories of this complicated life

------ About the song Fix You performed by Coldplay
Coldplay's remarkable lyrics capture everything I feel. With the passing of my best friend, I heard this song a couple days after and I couldn't help but breakdown. Not to mention that he had promised we'd go see Coldplay together. I've been left with this indescribeable void in my heart and all I want is to have him back by my side. All I need is my best friend with me, but it's not going to happen anytime soon.
"And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?"
Coldplay was ours. Yellow was my song for him. But, Fix You allows me to see the grand scheme of things... Either way, this song is brilliant and so amazingly written and sung. The sentiment behind it leaves me breathless, something that not many songs have done. The sentimental value behind this song means the world to me, thats why.

See, I hate all these stereotypes about our age group. I'm not being a naive 14-year-old boy (just turned 14) when I say this: I LOVE HER. It's doesn't go ONLY as deep as her just making me smile and cheering me up and making me happy. Yes, she brings those feelings out in me, but on top of that there is so much more. I guess you wouldn't know unless you were us, because every couple is different. You know what? I'm frustrated with all of you critics and the rest of society and all of your stereotypes, so I want my biggest question answered. I want one (or more) of the next commenters to answer that question for me, and it is this: "WHAT IS IT ABOUT US TEENAGERS THAT MAKES PEOPLE ASSUME THE STEREOTYPE THAT WE CAN'T REALLY LOVE???" I want to know what the answer is from you "all-knowing adults", because you and all of your personal experiences OBVIOUSLY know EVERYTHING about this. SURE, TOTALLY. When in reality, you have NO IDEA what I feel for her. You're just going by a generalization, a stereotype, an assumption about teenagers as a WHOLE when you say we can't love. The lovers among us teenagers - our image has been tainted by the image of the rest of the teenagers who are only after sex. And you adults go by that assumption. We are not all like that... Answer my question please, as I said before. I want to know.

I love him. Highschool love. He's scared to look at me because if he knows he does, he'll see just how much I'm in love with him.

I don't know what I did, but I wont ever stop fighting for him,

------ About the song The Scientist performed by Coldplay
I think hat as teenagers, we think we know it all. we find someone with whom we enjoy their company and we fall in love. but we're all young and we're all naive. As teenagers, or i guess in this special 13 year olds case, we think we know love. that this person makes us happy and therefore that is love. they grow on us. make us smile, and cheer us up when we're sad, but that doesnt mean it's love. Im not a believer in "true love" but i do not plan to know what love really is. i see that it can last years and years and i can see that it can fail. my family alone seems to only inherit divorce. but other can last and can be happy enough. but i am not a believer in "true love" for teenagers. but what do i know. im only a cynical 18 year old right.

This song has always meant a lot to me. My twin brother told me that it made him think of me. He had me listen to it and I liked it. He commited suicide in March. This song makes me think of him. I'd give anything to be able to talk to him again.

shiver is a great song. in matter of fact all of their songs are. i never ince doubted that i wouldn't like a colplay song. if i didn't i grew to love it. what can i say you can't hate them. coldplay diserves much more credit than what they give themselves. their music personally reaches out to me. they have storylines with every song and because the lyrics come up the rhytm alone invites you. the lyrics to the songs are beautiful. they can relate to anything which is wonderful news. their music is perfect for reading ways to relax ways to forget about things block out people and to just be happy. coldplay is a great band and i support them all the way. iX3coldplay.

It does sometimes happen. My aunt and Uncle fell in love when they where thirteen and they're still together... =) I don't believe that as teenagers, we can fully understand love as adults do, but that doesn't mean we can't fall in love...
I love this song...It's very sad, but it can also be hopeful.

------ About the song Strawberry Swing performed by Coldplay
I am going through an extremely rough time right now and I am already severely depressed. To top things off I am hopelessly in love with someone I have never met AND has a girlfriend. This particular somebody introduced this song to me and every time I hear it on the television or the radio I literally have to stop what I am doing because I cannot prevent myself from completely breaking down. This song reminds me so much of not only him, but the carefree childhood and happy feelings I have lost, and the small sliver of hope I have for a brighter future- the only thing keeping me alive...
