Just wondering:

 

Was the song written by Chris Martin or was he just gonna perform it with Johnny Cash?

 

If so, who wrote it?

It was written by Coldplay. The plan was to get Johnny Cash to record it, but sadly he died before he got the chance.

Ahh gotcha. Thanks :D

 

When you say written by coldplay..I was under the impression Chris Martin does most of the writting?

He writes the lyrics yes, but then the rest of the band writes their own parts etc.

Ah. K gotcha. Thanks again :D

No problemo ;)

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? :(

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.

why does til kingdom come have to be about him! it doesnt HAVE to be personal you know, he could be writing about other things, things that relate to other people

I always wonder what the heck does Chris mean with: "For you I'll wait, til kingdom come"?

He will wait until after death...forever.

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.

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.

Of course, Jonny loves everything his beloved dear Chris does, so he doesn't change lyrics ;)
