Siddious Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Just wondering: Was the song written by Chris Martin or was he just gonna perform it with Johnny Cash? If so, who wrote it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octakon Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 It was written by Coldplay. The plan was to get Johnny Cash to record it, but sadly he died before he got the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octakon Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 He writes the lyrics yes, but then the rest of the band writes their own parts etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitey Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 I never saw how the lyrics fit into his life though. He has Gwen and Apple...This album was partually about broken hearts..ect ect. And how great the world is, which i love that side but still...where is the partual negativity coming? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twin4life Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 haha, i heard that the chorus of this song was written on the spot. jonny cash's producer or something told coldplay that they needed a good chorus for the song before they recorded it, so chris just wrote one.

Ambergris Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 I always wonder what the heck does Chris mean with: "For you I'll wait, til kingdom come"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephBerryman Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I don't think the album is partially about broken hearts...i think it's more about his insecurities and fear that everything/everyone he loves would leave him. Chris writes all the lyrics, some with jonny. will and guy change some of the lyrics if they hate what chris writes, especially when he goes overboard with things like planets and outer space and other abstract things.

whitey Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 I like how Chris's Lyrics are different from other artists for that fact. He may not be talking about broken hearts...but it sure ties in with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
°°°Morning°Glory°°° Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Of course, Jonny loves everything his beloved dear Chris does, so he doesn't change lyrics ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
