Coldplay
It's like a Rush of Blood to the Head
When I'm talking about
Coldplay to other people they are mostly bored. It's not that they don't like their music, they do. Many people do (and of course still many people don't, and that's also fine). But when I'm talking about
Coldplay it's not just like 'oh that's a good song', no I always start rambling about several songs, pick songlines, talk about them, talk about what this song means to me and what I connect with it and and and and....people don't want to hear that... They might like the music, but that's it.
I however, love it...ever since I heard
Clocks for the first time...yes, I just love pianos. :)
For me,
Coldplay's music is just really important, because I've been
listening to it for many years and it was always a kind of comfort to me. I can
find a
Coldplay song for every situation in my life.
Yellow
and
The Hardest Part, along with
Green Eyes,
Speed of Sound
and
Amsterdam (and just too many others which I won't name because the
list would get too long) just carry so much meaning for me. It's probably not
the meaning
Chris Martin intended when he wrote the songs. However, that's
exactly what I like about their songs. You can interpret anything into it. Of
course, you can do it with songs of other bands as well, but so far I've never
found another band that wrote so many songs that fitted so perfectly into my life.
I once said, that if my life had a soundtrack, it should be mainly written by
Coldplay *lol*
Another thing, I really like
Chris Martin's voice. You have to like falsetto, not everyone does, but I do. I really love his singing and not only the falsetto parts. He just can convey so much emotion with his voice without sounding ridiculous.
Generally, I also like
Coldplay just because they are so down to earth. No star affectations, no scandals...it's all about the music and I think that's the most important thing.
I know there is also a lot of criticism, but that's normal, and not always bad. Anyway, in my opinion their music is still beautiful and...I find it always really difficult to explain what I feel about it (I'm not even going to try now), I guess that's probably why people get bored listening to me when I talk about
Coldplay. I stopped doing that anyway. And that's why I decided to write this short article on my website, just to show my appreciation for them and their music.
