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...

------ About the song The Scientist performed by Coldplay
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've heard this song before but today as I was working, it crossed my mind and made me think of this guy I like... He's a drug addict and has severe depression and its like getting what I want but not what I need and all I want to do is fix his problems

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.
Did I drive you away?
I know what you'll say.
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.

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

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

i always liked this song, but until this summer i rlly didnt know the meaning of it all. I lost someone i rlly loved and this song brings back all of the memories. "When you get what you want but not what you need" and "When you lose something you can't replace " rlly hit me hard sometimes...

------ 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...."

------ About the song White Shadows performed by Coldplay
We get so caught up in our own worlds, things that don't matter. And when I hear this, I just close my eyes and listen. We are all in this together. All part of the human race. We are all made of the essence of good, and purity. We just get lost, stray off the path. Sometimes distractions take up your whole life. It was almost a waste. But if you just listen, you can almost always get back on track. Thats what I love about coldplay. It gives you the shivvers, and nearly everyone has their own translation.

I think this song really relates to a love story. falling deep in love with someone who is emotionally broken and then trying to make it all better for the both of you together and the wild ride love takes you on in the process.

------ About the song Warning Sign performed by Coldplay
It amazes me how many people open their hearts in anonimous sites like this one. I too love this song, but for its melody and wording, rather than the words themselves. The melody line at "looking" drops beautifully and surprisingly as it seems that is going to go out of tune, but it doesn't. The wording in "excuses" just works so well. What a craft. I have never left anybody so the words don't really touch me, but the music does!.

------ About the song Shiver performed by Coldplay
Hey guys I read every story and am sorry for those that suffered for "unrequited love" and I wish I had an experience to share but I don't.
but long time a go I had something like a one night stand with a girl I knew she liked me and I also liked girl a little she was cute But I wasn't in love so after we share some momment together I told her that I didn't love her, that we just shared that moment and that was it. But she told me she loved me and I didn't know what to do or say at that very moment, so I just told her that we could be friends but of course she didn't want to be my friend so she just told me that if I didn't feel the same way she felt about me we could't see each other again and I agreed. a time later I saw her again and she talked to me like nothing happened and I was impressed then I realized she was over me and that was good for her as it was for me cause now we talk like good firends, but I don't know how she did it or if she suffered because of me and if she did i guess this song is the perfect fit.
and for me, well a like the song I think it's great and if some day I pay for what a did to her and Fall in love with some girl and she rejects me be sure I will be singing this song.

------ About the song Shiver performed by Coldplay
well i had the same experience with the 1st comment. I made a relationship for 18 months and he dumped me because he cheated w another girl who is his bestfriend, i was shocked! but nothing i could do. i stuck with him right now, he promised me everything, he told me that I'm his soulmate, and 4 months after we broke up, he shared a story that, 'well, i think she's (his bestfriend) my soulmate'. dang! it feels like every girl that he dated was given the same word, 'you areee my soulmate' fuck soulmate!

matt,
Ok, to be fair, the odds of it are heavily stacked against us, and it's true that feelings do change over time, naturally. and, as i can understand, changes suck. And it scares me a bit to think about it. Yet, you always hear stories of people who fell in love as a kid and they ended up spending the rest of their lives with each other, y'know, against the odds. I do understand that the probability is small for that to happen, but it has to happen to SOMEONE, or else it wouldn't be a valid statistic. So i don't think its accurate for you to say that, "dude it won't last, it never does." because for that small percentage of people, it DOES last. But hey, to level the playing field, we'll see who's right and who's wrong in ten years: you or me.
(p.s. you spelled response wrong :P)
