I just wanted y'all to know that Coldplay is my one true musical love. <33

I feel that their music can speak for me in oh-so-many ways, describing me in one way or another at any given time. For an example, for over the last year, In My Place was my flagship song.

In my place, in my place

Were lines that I couldn't change

I was lost, oh yeah

 

I was lost, I was lost

Crossed lines I shouldn't have crossed

I was lost, oh yeah

 

And if you go, if you go

And leave me down here on my own

Then I'll wait for you, yeah

I felt lost, and that song was what could describe my very essence in trying to help but making too many mistakes.

The song Talk also proved to be a fitting song:

Oh brother I can’t, I can't get through

I've been trying hard to reach you 'cause I don't know what to do

Oh brother I can't believe it's true

I'm so scared about the future and I wanna talk to you

Oh I wanna talk to you

 

You can take a picture of something you see

In the future where will I be?

You can climb a ladder up to the sun

Or a write a song nobody has sung or do

Something that's never been done

Politik is a piece of art, and the last three minutes, though almost nothing but melody and sorrowful voice, carry to my ears and almost make me cry in the beauty I feel in it. But currently the #1 song in my life would have to be The Scientist--

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry

You don't know how lovely you are

I had to find you, tell you I need you

Tell you I set you apart

Tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions

Oh let's go back to the start

Running in circles, coming up tails

Heads on a silence apart

 

Nobody said it was easy

Oh it's such a shame for us to part

Nobody said it was easy

No one ever said that it would be this hard

Oh take me back to the start

THAT song makes tears form in my eyes every time I hear it, and for those who know me, you'd know I am rarely the kind to cry even in the face of distress. And for that someone special out there, you'd know why this song means so much to me.

But what makes Coldplay such a great band is not just the music alone, it's the heart that inspired the music. The quartet consisting of Chris Martin (lead vocals), Jon Buckland (lead guitar), Will Champion (drums) and Guy Berryman (bass player) are more than for guys who decided to make a record, they are friends who started a little project in college and got good at it, and together they put all their effort into their works to create a soulful sound that comes from a team and a community that dwells on a peaceful goal to create the best that group can do. That is something few bands these days can do, but Coldplay does it. And they do it well.

I rarely show it, but my emotions deep inside of me are always working, and because of the fact that the last thing I wanna be is some pumping metallista who jumps up and down bangin' on the walls (which I almost became, lol), decided to go for the serene and peaceful sound of Coldplay, to direct my emotions positively and weed them out without tearing my bunk bed down. Rather than beat the table with a stick, I cry, and that is the power of music.

The power of Coldplay.
