I would say it is probably one of the best bands I know. About four years ago one of my best friends introduced me to Coldplay. I remember that I was a little doubtful, I did not know if I enjoyed the music or not. Usually it is not that hard to decide, but this time it was, which on the other hand is a good sign that the music was special. I had heard their songs before, but I guess I did not make a mental note. Well, after listening to their songs over and over again, just like my friend told me, I began to love Coldplay, their music and their lyrics. Coldplay only consists of guys, but still it is not a typical boyband, like Westlife and Backstreet boys.
When I realized how good they were, and after falling in love with them, the only music I was listening to was Coldplay. I turned up the volume and then I just sat by the computer and enjoyed it. Of course I still do this sometimes, but now I have so much more great music to choose from, so it does not happen very often.
I think that Fix you was the first song I heard, and it is still one of my favourites. Sometimes when I listen to it, I get overwhelmed with joy, and it feels almost like I am walking on clouds. Also, when I am listening to it, I often sing along, and it makes me feel very good. Its great lyrics can make anyone feel good and happy. Your problems seems to be smaller, it feels like everything is going to be alright even though it did not feel that way before. However, I am not sure how long that feeling lasts, probably not very long. Here are a few lines from the lyrics:
When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
I am presumably not the only on to recognize myself in this text. It is a perfect description of a bad time in your life. The text is actually a little sad, but somehow it also gives hope. I think that is what I like about this song, there is hope. I think that hope is the most important thing to have. But, apart from this song, Coldplay has many other great songs. There is one for every mood, which is great. The only problem is that maybe I have been listening too much to some songs, so now I have to be in a special Coldplay-mood. But when I am in that special mood, Coldplay is the only band I can listen to. This is also when I get crazy and walk on clouds which I mentioned before. I do not think I can say "That is my absolute favourite song!" because there are so many great. And if I would try, it would be more than one in the first place. It is not only Coldplay's songs, it is also their singer. He has an excellent, lovely, very special voice and I just love it. In short, he is a great singer! He is also very good-looking.
I remember when we were on a trip with my class a couple of years ago. One of the guys turned on one of my favourite songs, and I went insane and shone like a sun. Of course I was not the only one to love them, so there were a few more who became happy, not only me! Unfortunately the sound was pretty bad. But we enjoyed it anyway, well, at least I did.
I think that I will always like Coldplay. Maybe not as much as I do right now, but I will probably allways like their music in some way. There are always moments in your life you need music like this, and I think Coldplay will be my first choice.
