Coldplay Gives Natalie Imbruglia 'The Best Coldplay Song Ever'

 

Coldplay's Chris Martin regrets giving song to Natalie Imbruglia

 

Coldplay's Chris Martin has revealed his dismay at giving Natalie Imbruglia a track that he claims could have been the "best Coldplay song ever".

 

The song is expected to be the first single from Imbruglia's forthcoming new album 'Come To Life', and may be titled 'Scars'.

 

"A bit annoyingly we've given her the best Coldplay song of all time," Martin joked to Heraldsun.com.au. "But because we're off-cycle we can't do it ourselves."

 

He added: "Half of me wishes we still had it. But she sounds fucking brilliant on it. I think she has a very unique talent and an incredibly unique voice."

 

'Come To Life' is expected to be released in May.

So, I wonder how good this song is!!! Surely its not the BEST song ever... how could it beat anything CP has already done?

Chris Martin use to date Natalie Imbruglia

 

"singer Chris Martin is having regrets over his old flame Natalie Imbruglia." from an australian website....i saw another one yesterday but thought it was a joke or a typo.

 

If this is true i never new he use to go out with her? Thats something I would of thought i would of heard before.

 

Is it fabrication or is it true?

Are there any other famous girlfriends are stud friend chris martin use to have (obviously im glad hes with gwyneth now because my god shes hot!!)

No, he asked her out once, and she turned him down :lol:

 

There's Lily Sobhani whom he dated I think 2001? A few AROBTTH songs were written during his emotional crash afterwards (he got the dump that time and was a mess :sad:)

dp

emotional crash?

Yes

 

Well he was in love with the girl, she dumped him, he pretty much crashed emotionally! Walked out of concerts before they started, arrived drunk at awards shows, rather messy

tense..didn't no that...wel tbh its worked out for the better now, hes got two gorgeous children and a solid marriage..despite reports surfacing yesterday Im sure hes happy!

Yes they seem very happy together

Wow really? Do we have any footage of his "emotional crash"? Like the awards being drunk...or concerts were he didn't rock up/didn't give a crap?

No, he asked her out once, and she turned him down :lol:

 

 

She didn't. Debs posted about that a while ago, and she was clear about it: they didn't date, she didn't turn him down.

 

I guess this rumours will never stop, will they :thinking:

It was said in an interview by Chris. And he actually meant it.

I heard an interview with him once where he said Natalie Imbruglia was part of the inspiration for Shiver

i heard that while ago, but i always thought it wasn't true. :uhoh:

Funny that, cos her song 'shiver' has the same chord progression as 'In My Place'. Sounds like she ripped Coldplay off there.

this article mentions nothing of Chris and Natalie but does mention Lily

 

 

 

Glummest couple in showbiz?

 

by NICOLE LAMPERT, Daily Mail

Gwyneth and Chris: is this

showbiz's glummest couple?

 

The scene could almost be from The Stepford Wives. As the handsome man goes to open the door of his opulent house on his way to work, his girlfriend - blonde, beautiful and with a wonderful figure, of course - calls him back.

'Angel, you almost forgot your packed lunch,' she says, handing him a Tupperware container with a smile. 'Thanks, angel,' he mumbles sweetly before planting a loving kiss on her lips.

'Have a nice day at work,' she calls out as he jumps into a waiting black Mercedes.

But this is not a scene from some Hollywood film about subservient women - the couple in question are a rather lanky British pop star and an Oscar-winning actress.

Meet Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow, sometimes known as the most miserable couple in showbiz.

Get two celebrities together, the showbiz maxim goes, and their fame should be magnified tenfold. But this is a couple with no wish to emulate the tawdry hype of the Beckhams. They simply cannot understand why the public is interested in them. And they certainly do not care that they are supposed to be enjoying their fame.

In fact, they feel so haunted by being in the spotlight that peace-loving Chris, 26, has even taken to getting into fights with photographers on a regular basis. He has also admitted that he has nightmares about being stalked.

The couple have now become so miserable that, in two months' time, they say they are both going to take a year off from work.

They are quitting while they are both at the top of their glamorous professions because, despite all the trappings, they believe they cannot be happy if things stay as they are. Their hope is to find solace in each other and trying to be 'normal'.

Gwyneth, of course, has every reason to be on an emotional down because she is still getting over the sudden death from throat cancer of her beloved father Bruce a year ago at the age of 58. He was also her mentor and she has struggled painfully to continue without him. She said recently: 'People say: "He'll always be with you." No, he won't. He's dead and I'm suffering. Before, I was at a place in my life where I thought I'd figured it out. Then it was like someone kicked me in the stomach.'

She has been feeling so low recently that she has started seeing a therapist and taken to doing yoga for at least an hour a day. She has also sought comfort in shopping sprees - although even after spending £10,000 in an hour one day last week she could still barely raise a smile.

Depression

Always prone to depression - she admits she was miserable for two years after her Oscar win - Gwyneth has talked about a 'black cloud' that she can't rid herself of.

'She is lethargic and low,' said one friend. 'She has been losing weight and the only thing that makes her happy is Chris.'

Other friends say that the manner of her father's death has also completely changed her outlook on life - even down to the type of food she eats.

'She was pretty hot on having a healthy diet before, but now she has become obsessed,' said one. 'She knows that cancer can be genetic, so she is obsessed with only eating macrobiotic food which means no dining out, no rice, meat, dairy, or salt. She has two chefs - one for savoury food and one for sweet - and she doesn't let Chris out of the house without a macrobiotic packed lunch.'

She has also, for the first time, decided to put her personal life over her professional one.

Chris, too, is finding that fame and success is making him miserable. An obsessive worrier - he frets about everything; from losing his hair to the bad trade situation in Africa - he has become convinced that the public is going to turn on him and his band because of their success.

Worried

'We've got to get out of people's faces,' he said recently. 'I get worried about people starting to hate us. In Britain, there's this "build them up and knock them down attitude". It's my home, but I get really stressed every time I come back.'

Of course, Coldplay's other three members - Guy Berryman, Jon Buckland and Will Champion - have to go along with those plans. Chris is not just their lead singer, he is the primary songwriter and undisputed leader.

Officially, the band are taking time off to 'recharge their batteries' so they can come back revitalised with an album as good as those they have already produced.

There are those, however, who wonder whether the band are taking a break because Gwyneth wants Chris to do so. She has loyally followed him around the world over the past six months, but has not enjoyed life on the road.

Marriage

The situation can only get worse. Friends say that Chris is determined to wed Gwyneth next year - despite recently proclaiming: 'We're not getting married in the near future.'

There are many, of course, who thought the romance would not last. She is the ultimate Hollywood princess, bought up in Beverly Hills where her mother, Blythe Danner, was a successful actress and her father a director. Previous boyfriends included film heartthrobs Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck.

Chris, meanwhile, may be public school- educated and distinctly middle class, but he is a self-confessed geek. Until the age of 15, he was not sure whether he was gay, he did not lose his virginity until he was 22, and his only serious relationship was with radio executive Lily Sobhani.

Soulmates

However, friends say they believe he and Gwyneth are soulmates. She, particularly, has been struck by how similar Chris is to her father and brother, Jake.

'He is like her dad and Jake in both temperament and personality,' said her friend. 'He even looks a bit like them.

'From the start, she has felt being with him has been like "coming home" and she has no doubt that they will spend the rest of their lives together.

'They also share interests, they are intellectual, shy and quite Leftwing politically.

Even before he met her, he never smoked, drank or took drugs and he almost can't believe he has met someone as clean living as he is.'

Friends describe how they are 'ridiculously sweet together'.

'They always call each other "Angel" and are very affectionate together,' said one.

'Although she has this reputation as being a bit of a cold fish, she is very girlie and giggly when she is with him. She also describes him as "my rock".

'She has told him she will move to England to be with him and she has even tried to convince her mother to move here, too, so they can see more of each other.'

Over the next year, the couple will make a concerted attempt to move out of the limelight.

They plan to eschew celebrity parties and travel on the Tube. And, say the friends, Chris and Gwyneth truly believe that doing this will make them happy again.

'They want some normality in their lives. The only new role Gwyneth is going for is Chris's wife. And it is obvious that it is the one role she wants most in the world.'

Chris and Natalie weren't ever anything, he told Q in 2002 that she turned him down, but that doesn't mean she did, he likes to see the worst in everything. He also speaks about Lily in it too, these thing happen though. Must be hard to maintain a relationship with someone you never see.

 

He and Gwyneth seem to work though, as long as they're happy.... :)

^^they do seem happy. i hope he's happy. he's been through a lot of shit. :(

If Chris really thought it was their best song ever I doubt the other 3 would have let him give it away :laugh4:.

He might not have shown them :lol:

He might not have shown them :lol:

 

Well I bet he secretly thought "maybe if I give her this wicked track she'll say yes to that date" :P.

Haha, a date which he couldn't go on, being married and all :P

 

Guess it would be a nice ego boost though :idea2:

Haha, a date which he couldn't go on, being married and all :P

 

Listen, if he is giving away tracks behing peoples backs who knows what else he does on the sly :P. Expect to here Deserter on some pop starlets new album :P.

 

(I joke of course, I love the Martins :nice:)

I already see Chris and Natalie performing "Torn" on stage. It would certainly look like this... :P
