Whats your absolute favorite Coldplay song and why? Is it the lyrics, music, a memory it brings back, or a special time that happened to you while that particular song was playing?

 

I have to say hands down for me its "Everythings not Lost" , first heard in an irish bar in Boston while on a business trip when Parachutes first came out. Crazy time in my life and that song hit me at the right moment.

 

Anyone else?

Warning Sign or Politik

 

Warning sign because of the lyrics. and the chorus.

 

politik because the second half of the song is the most amazing piece of music they've ever written as a band.

Only took 4 hours :lol: :embarassed:

mine is amsterdam for sure...so powerful

used to be swallowed in the sea and now its Glass of water

TALK!

:heart:

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THE BASS LINE!

and the drums! and guitar! and lyrics! the melody! well just....pretty much everything about it makes me love it SO SO SO much.

and i love how there are so many versions, and i love them all

the main one

the alternate version

the instrumental

the thin white duke remix

etc...

:D:D:D:D

Fix You

 

great song...love the lyrics & the flow of the music, esp. when it gets to Jonny's guitar solo which switches the mood & builds up towards (imo) the uplifting end bit of the song.

 

can't remember when i actually really 1st heard the song, but i recently "re-discovered" the song last year on YouTube cos of a rather well done Doctor Who fanvid. & i guess it was timing too cos i was going thru a difficult time & the song as a whole just kinda clicked with me.

The Scientist

 

Because?

 

It's pure awesomeness.

Mine has always been "Don't Panic".

I am in love with that song.

The Scientist...

 

I have no idea why, but from the moment I heard it, it just sucked me in. The piano is just beautiful on it and I love the line "Questions of science, science and progress do not speak as loud as my heart." I can only describe it as being beautifully sad song.

The Scientist. Quite possibly the greatest lyrics i've ever heard or any song. First time i heard it was when coldplay did an mtv commercial before the VMAs and it was amazing. Since then i've been sucked in.

I really and truly believe that "Swallowed in the Sea" is my favorite Coldplay song ever. I mean, it's been my clear favorite from "X & Y," but after giving it a lot of thought, it really just speaks to me in a way no other song of theirs can. I don't know why.

Aww .. the scientist, of course :wink3:

speed of sound

 

 

It was probably the first song I actually thought I really wanted to hear more of the band, I heard it on a radio when I was on holiday in Scotland, it was playing when I was traveling down the east coast and the scenery was gorgeous, it takes me right back there. I didn't know they were the same band who were famous for Trouble and In my place, songs that I liked, but had no interest in who sang them!

The Scientist:wacky:.

Those lyrics. PERFECTION:heart:.

Their are so many songs I love.

 

WARNING SIGN

GREEN EYES

POLITICS

AROBTTH

CAREFUL WHERE YOU STAND

CLOCKS

SQUARE ONE

 

and many, many, many more. Nearly all.

The scientist...I really like those lyrics..and there's something about that song, it's so simple and yet sooo beuatiful.:D

There's a lot of songs that hold sentimental value to me - Speed of Sound, The Scientist, Politik, etc. But none quite match how much I adore Clocks. Say what you want about how accessible it is to the mainstream; there's no denying Clocks' sheer beauty and majesty. The lyrics are totally open-ended, but it's more about the dominating piano as the lyrics take a backseat for the latter half of the song. When I see Coldplay in 30 years, I'll be glad to know they'll still be playing Clocks. :);)

What is your favorite?

 

What is your favorite Coldplay song and why?

The Scientist. It is just so beautiful. The melody is gorgeous, the lyrics are so meaningful. It's just perfect. :heart:

Viva La Vida, since the first time I heard it I just knew I had to look up the band behind it. I loved it so much. The Scientist probably comes in second, like many have mentioned before, it's so beautiful!

Speed of Sound was really the first Coldplay song I really got into...I was always a fan but I never looked much into them. Then Viva La Vida came out, and this band took me over, I havent stopped listening to them. As for my favorite song, probably Shiver, God Put a Smile Upon Your Face, Politik or High Speed

I've already written about this in several threads but anyway, Speed of Sound for me! I heard it on a "best of 2005" cd that I got when it was christmas. I was like "Who are they and I want to hear more". I kind of knew who Chris were since he's married to Gwyneth, one of my favourite actresses. Then I saw the video of Talk and so it continued. So that's why it's so special for me. Love every second of that song.
