[Josh42]

Lost! and 42 both make me happy because I laugh at how shite they are.

[Miss Mags]

[LazyDancerKar]

My cousin and I had a huge argument that is still ongoing for me and I dunno A Rush of Blood to the Head and Amsterdam really help me to feel better... especially A Rush of Blood to the Head for this specific argument.

[espantirock88]

Ok, so the song that saved my life is called 42. A few years back, my brother has this friend, Nick. He was about years older than me, and he slept over at my house every weekend and every day of the summer with my brother. He became a sort of brother to me because of all the time we'd spend together. At this point, I was still one of those aspiring- to- be- popular- whiny-little girls. I had basically no idea that the Beatles were good, i just thought they were some old people band. My favorite music was whatever was on teh popular station. That all changed, when one night Nick told me to go on an online radio website. He told me to play Strawberry Fields Forever. For some unknown reason, something in my brain clicked and I fell in love with the Beatles. Through their lyrics, i discovered "deepness" and the idea that unique was good, and comforming was bad. Nick also got me to like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, David Bowie, and many other widely accepted "greats". At this point, I was a deep thinker, and no longer listened to the radio. I began spreading my knowledge of the Beatles and life to my friends, and soon we all were Beatles fanatics. We constantly analyzed lyrics and got new ideas about life from them. Nick kept showing me new music and making me a better person. Then one day, Nick out of nowhere announced that he was joining the Marines. This shocked me because he was all about peace and love, like John Lennon said. This was totally against everything he'd taught me, and it made me feel like everything i knew was wrong. (sorry can't help myself: and everything i dooo it just comes undoneee) Back to the story: He started turning into a completely different person. He would yell at my brother and call him a girl for not wanting to join also. He said that his other friend Scott, who was also like a brother to me, was a horrible person for not wanting to "serve his country". He made me watch a video on Youtube of soldiers shooting one another, and said "Wow that's gonna be me soon! Can't wait!" Worst of all, the night before he was supposed to leave for training, he called his friend over, Bill, at 4 in the morning in the pouring rain. HE had to walk to his house. When Bill got there, Nick said, "Hey let me show you something outside." When Bill got outside, Nick slammed the door closed and locked it. Bill had to walk home after 4 in the pouring rain, hurt and confused by what just happened. No one knows why he did it, I suspect all of these changes were caused by brainwashing by the U.S. government. So he finally left, and i didn't get to say goodbye to him, since my brother wasn't speaking to him and visa versa. I mourned like he had died already, and worried that he would every second of the day. I felt like my brother had seriously died already. For months I cried about it, until one day, my friend Katie, or KeddieChan as she is known here, showed me the song 42. I listened to it, and i instantly related it to my life. "Those who are dead are not dead, they're just living in my head", struck me as a message i needed to learn. The real Nick, the one before the Marines, would not be dead until I accepted in my own mind that he is gone. That person isn't alive anymore, just a new, Nick, someone who is not the same at all. I will never get the real Nick back, and i had to let him die in my head or I would be tortured by him forever. If not for this song, I fully believe that I would have killed or at least harmed myself. 42 helped me to get over the loss of Nick, and best of all sparked my interest in Coldplay. And my love of Coldplay grew and grew until it is what it is now. I can't thank Coldplay enough, even if the song wasn't written with that meaning in mind. Coldplay saved my life.

[i♥C.MART]

Everything's Not Lost of course! :wacky:

[Emily1931]

sorry for double

[Coldplay Junior]

Don't Panic, Talk, and Glass of Water helped me through my state testing.

I still didn't get those results back :sick:

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

... :thinking:

 

Moses, got to hate/love it, now is just another song and i only appreciate the lyrics/musical side of it, no personal thing.

 

Fix You, helped me after my uncle passed, but i had to quit listen that one for almost a year for another relative passed later.

 

42, i always said it will have a special meaning to me for the lyrics and so always will. :)

I really love your story in the way that I dunno just Coldplay really really helped you there. Last night when I was crying my eyes out because of my family argument I listened to the "cycle" of songs that I had picked out earlier and it just helped me personally so much there... and it cheered me up even though it was just a little bit cause the problem was and is still their...but listening to their music really helps. And honestly almost every single one of their songs can work for helping me to cheer up depending on what the situation for what song.

[Longlivelife42]

Don't Panic- got me through my final exams

Shiver- also got me through my final exams

Lost?- helped in a relationship

Till Kingdom Come- made me remember the good times after someone had passed away.

[Pockets]

Fix you helps me through a bad day/ bad situation. I will think of more songs later.

[Miha]

Viva La Vida, Violet Hill and Talk I listened to when my dad was gravely ill...but I'm so happy that he is fine now! 42 reminds me of my grandfather everytime I listen to the first line I remember that he's passed away and that we have to move on..:stunned:

[Miss Mags]

I have the same feeling with the line 'when you lose something you can't replace' in fix you :(

[Pockets]

Also, although Viva La Vida is an overated song, it did help me. My freshman year was a nightmare, (honestly) and for some reason hearing that song made me feel a lot better about things. Violet Hill helped as well.

[Emily1931]

Yeah, Karen obviously I'm the only one on here that knows what argument you're talking about, and i think this is proof that we are right to defend ourselves in this one. All these examples of how Coldplay has changed people's lives for the better or helped them through something. How can you give something up that makes you the happiest in life and helps you through anything you need it to? Other than Katie and you, none of my friends can do that. It's like she's asking me to kill my best friend.

[xtickingxclocksx42]

Fix You, Trouble and The Scientist helped me out through so many things, I don't think I could name them all...

 

But whenever I listen to Green Eyes, Swallowed in the Sea and Strawberry Swing I can't help but smile because they remind of this person who means a whole lot to me.

You know I'm basically a rug that people walk on cause I never want to argue and I always try to avoid confrontation. I let it happen and it's terrible. But some relationships are really important but on the other hand I really am not going to stop loving the band and the music at the level I do. And it I didn't have their music right now I'd be on the floor in my room curled up in a ball listening to screamo crap or something and just getting really depressed. The music makes me so happy and I'm sorry that I get distracted all the time and I'm sorry that I scream like a crazy fan girl but I really don't think I can change how much Coldplay means to me, I don't want to change how much they mean to me.

 

I also don't make to go from having a cousin who is one of the most important aspects of my life to having a cousin who doesn't talk to me and that we hate eachother.

 

I'm so glad to have their music right now.

[Viva la Taylor]

Till Kingdom Come and Lost.

[notlost92]

Everything's Not Lost (Live 03 version) has helped me so much this past year that I can't even find words for it anymore...

[Miss Mags]

coldplay means the world to me !
