Hurts Like Paradise

I mean was it X & Y?

Speed of Sound?

Great album! :) It's not my favorite Coldplay album but very good. I love the simplicity of the lyrics and gospel influence on it. My favorite tracks are probably "Church and "Everyday Life."

Has anyone heard music from his project Africa Express? I love African music and with Damon a part of the group, that's even better. :)

"Fix You"

I also really enjoy "Open Your Eyes." "Run" is similar to that song in the sense of how it sounds cinematic. Does that make sense? :)

I love Snow Patrol and I have seen them twice. They put on an amazing show, almost like a religious experience in terms of how much I get into their music. I know they aren't a religious band but man, they put on a great show! Gary is such a humble rock star. :)

Right, I agree. Unfortunately, I have never been to a Coldplay concert, but I can tell you as a Coldplay fan and what I have heard from friends who have seen them live, they put on an amazing show. Chris shouldn't doubt the fan's reception but asking, "Is everybody okay?" Maybe, "I know you guys are having a good time" would be a little better. :)

“The Hardest Part” because the song seems relevant to life’s woes and hard times today. Lol. What beautiful lyrics!

You own almost every Codplay album on vinyl, plus 2 live bootlegs from a record convention! I own like 7 Coldplay records! I love every one!

Speed of Sound VS The Hardest Part

Wow! What a wonderful thing to hear. I have my on YouTube channel now where I do my poetry. I actually sort of “rap” it! Lol. Here is a spiritual freestyle poem I did: I hope you like it. You can subscribe here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRyr9hBlXS5lvHgR6ovPRHQ

I love that video! Exactly what I needed to hear today! So thank you. Did you create that video by chance? I’ll check out the other things too.

I believe Chris Martin makes a lot of humble comments. He speaks very humbling, almost self-deprecating, while I find him endearing, but I wish he would give himself more credit.

Here is a poem I wrote. I hope it inspires you to love yourself more! :) News media showing happiness is in sight 1st world problems of pressure of success Equivalent to hamster in a wheel getting no rest No wonder we can’t sleep at night We will never measure up, believe me Politicians, teachers, allies don’t deceive me But I will tell you what really grieves me These lies that my self love never frees me Love your church Honor every doctor and nurse Give to charities But donations to self is in scarcity Society is a corrupt force Making your delusions worse We’re told to love ourselves is a crime It’s arrogant and vain like grime Jury duty, taxes, pay rent, so many demands Colleagues, parents, siblings, so many shaking hands But when you turn over on your side at night Do you ever make it right? © Carly Wiggins 2018 Check out my blog: https://messageinstanza.com/

Yes, it does have a somber overtone to it for sure. I have never listened to while driving in the rain. I bet that would enhance the experience. :) But I don’t get snow down here in Texas. Lol. Thanks for the tip. :)

That’s right. I need to be here more often and spread my thoughts with peeps. Lol.

Yes, very nice description indeed. And congrats on your 1000th post! :celebrate: I have a ways to go. Lol. :)

Coldplay - Always in my Head

Midnight

Cool. And Ghost Stories flows so nicely as well. It feels like one long song sometimes, doesn’t it?

I really enjoy how mellow and chill Ghost Stories is. It’s like a laid-back Mylo Xyloto album, you know? Very melodic and simple (in a good way) like Mylo but more chill.

Here is another poem of mine. I hope you enjoy and feel uplifted in some way. Not a minute too soon I see the snow is turning to ice My plans are solidifying The drink is sweating I must move now But this gravity I’m fighting I’m a mouse looking for a way outside But there is something I don’t know Temptations are everywhere My hands aren’t tied My lips aren’t sealed But I have an itch in my ear I am listening to all this outside noise I am yearning for some answers So I move towards others’ words But it leaves me empty It doesn’t happen to apply to me And I take it over the Lord’s If the answers lie within Mine are dormant Or they are just waking up slowly I want to open up the blinds of my soul But they have been asleep too long Will my eyes adjust to the light within me? © Carly Wiggins 2017 Here is a link to my blog if you are interested: https://messageinstanza.com/
