Hello all Coldplayers!
I'm new to this community and fairly new to the world of Coldplay as well. I did hear their music on the radio from time to time over the years, but never really gave it a second thought. What started bringing me in was hearing Magic and Sky Full Of Stars in an aeroplane of all places. The songs made an impact with their beautiful mood and optimism in a time when I really needed it. Watching interviews with the band impressed me further, they had such a comraderie and obvious love for each other and their fans that comes across in everything they do and say. Chris wearing a button with LOVE written on it would come across as dishonest if he really didn't believe in it and act like it.
And then I bought Ghost Stories and A Head Full Of Dreams...You can not listen to their music, particularly A Head Full Of Dreams, and not feel the love they're bringing to you through their music. They're genuinely trying to change the world for better in the way they can, and I think they succeed in doing that in every person that really listens to their lyrics. You can not feel that kind of love and hear their message of unity without sharing that in your own life, it will affect your thinking and behaviour in a positive way. Like they say, we're in this together, we're one big band!
My one big regret is not seeing Coldplay live on the A Head Full Of Dreams tour, I was just a little too late to the party. When the next European tour is announced, I will do everything I can to get there! Right now I'm working backwards to get all their albums, latest addition being Mylo Xyloto.
Thank you for reading, I'm looking forward to talking Coldplay with you all!
