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...
Review about Coldplay My interpretation | Reviewer: Adele
------ About the song Swallowed In The Sea performed by Coldplay
I believe Chris wrote this song for his wife, Gwyneth, at the time her father died, as she's admitted in an interview that she can't listen to it without crying. Gwyneth was depressed at that time.
Anyway, I think the title is a metaphor... "Swallowed in the sea" meaning she's sinking deeper and deeper into the depression, and it's consuming her personality, etc.
I think Chris is just saying, "I love you so much; you've done so much for me... We'll get through this together."
But that's just my interpretation...
This song is stunning. As mentioned before, it's so simple, beautiful and honest. The lyrics are so meaningful, and - like a lot of Coldplay songs - can be adapted to suit most situations.
(And, yes, I am a huge fan)
Man I Miss her so much | Reviewer: Joe Griffiths
------ About the song Warning Sign performed by Coldplay
I've just come out of a 2 year relationship, just before i was about to pop the question.... I loved her sooo much... we used to sit and listen to green eyes together and just lay there and forget the world. this song always came on afterwards and i always thought "that won't ever apply to us" turns out i was wrong... doesn't apply to how i feel but to how she professes to feel about me, but she still can't make that leap back to me. every day hurts more than the next. i just want her back in my arms
Amazing. | Reviewer: NLoVe
------ About the song Shiver performed by Coldplay
Coldplay is possibly the most amazing band ever. This particular song really touches me because I happen to be living it right now. There is a guy I've like for a while now, and I think I'm in love with him. I've tried everything I can think of to show him this but he just tries to ignore that I like him and tries to get me to move on. He doesn't realize that I think I love him, and I need to tell him so badly. I gave him a CD with this song on it, along with some others that show my devotion to him, for a Christmas present, and I hope he sees what I'm going for here. But it's so upsetting that he doesn't realize how much I care for him and love him. But I'll always be there for him, even after he goes off to college at the end of the year. I would do anything for him and I want him to know that. (:

true love passes u by | Reviewer: sameer
------ About the song Warning Sign performed by Coldplay
sumtimes every feelin cant be described in words but cold play is the only guy wo breaks this code of human feelings . I miss her truly but life goes on for me . I dont want her back considering the fact that was my first love and I was ready to fly away with her . I guess every one is not lucky to be in real lav , like me . I sumtimes wish those times return back to me but even thinkin abt it makes me smile . As i grow older da harshness of the world kills me more day by day and i loose my self . Even if i do find someone things cant be pure and innocent like before . That will be a mere formality which m doin in the caos to be happy . First love is first love when it passes u by and then ur love life dies along with it . farewell
I miss you! | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Warning Sign performed by Coldplay
This song is beautifully written and reminds me of my own life. I was in a 7 year relationship up until 8 months ago. Since then I have discovered that he is my world. This song I plan to send to him and with faith and hope may he come back to me. In the past I used to make up excuses in our relationship as I never truly knew or understood if he was the one? I now realise who I am and want I want out of life and that is him. I hope I have the opportunity to show how I have changed and become a better person.
I am about to embark on an adventure to the UK and want him to be apart of it. He is my island who I want to rediscover and I want to start somewhere fresh and new with him. All I can do is pray and wish that he will come back to me and have faith that we will be happy together some day again in the future.
Because the truth is I still love you and I miss you and I shouldnt have ever let you go. You are my best friend, my soul mate and my one and only true companion.
Idealism | Reviewer: Aaron
------ About the song We Never Change performed by Coldplay
This song is, in my opinion, all about personal ideals and how they manifest in our lifestyles.
I don't think that it is pessimistic. I think it is self-aware idealism, acknowledging its own naivety while saying it will hold onto the dreams anyway.
Saying "We never change" I think is speaking to a friend or lover, saying "we always have these crazy ideals, don't we". Saying "I sin a little bit every day" is saying that even while holding these lofty dreams, he acknowledges that he falls short of them in many ways.
Overall, beautiful song, meaningful lyrics that have the ability to speak to a broad variety of situations.

When the original Yes song is over...well he beat like changes and then another song that is the same song comes up (Hard to understand I know but whoever bought the original album should know what I'm talking about) so can someone please give me the lyrics of that part too?
heartbroken | Reviewer: Dana
------ About the song Warning Sign performed by Coldplay
deep...DEEP down inside...i miss him...and this song helps me realize that. I never admitted that I loved him...but he deeply loved me and now were broken up and things are going to be ALL FUCKED UP again with my promiscuity. I'm such a slut. i never deserved him. I hope we can be friends at least...i'll be devastated if we won't. I need him...and I hope one day I'll actually let that sink in.
change | Reviewer: Tia
------ About the song We Never Change performed by Coldplay
this song has always held special resonance with me for a few reasons. the main one, which most listeners don't quickly identify with, being the struggle between society norms and who as an individual you strive you become. Embracing small desires and individuality that due to dichotomy's and social expectations become hard.
I believe the song is about discovery and self fulfillment
though which changes are we willing to make for our personal happiness vs. the consequence of possibly letting someone we love down.
and the power struggle between the two
sorry | Reviewer: anonymous
------ About the song Sparks performed by Coldplay
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
Wrong songs | Reviewer: Chris
------ 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.

------ About the song Sparks performed by Coldplay
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.

------ About the song The Scientist performed by Coldplay
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.
Love is what it is, when it is. | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song The Scientist performed by Coldplay
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.

It has political and religious content in it but its beautifully crafted and sung with a passion only Chris has its just one of those songs that you will put on repeat. Love it. Love you Coldplay. No.1 fan.

------ About the song Fix You performed by Coldplay
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.
