Being an avid coldplay fan, the song is definitely a way of showing that the boys are heading in a different direction. Vocally, there is hint of urgency and vulnerability in Chris' instrument which is something we rarely get to hear from him. Keep it coming!! The guitar riff is very Jonny-esque (simple, powerful and with a touch of glory). Drums and bass are classic Coldplay but again there is a sense of abstract to it. What a way to start off LP5!! This album will definitely be one to remember because we get to see these boys create something unique and we will respect their talents even more.
P.S. That guitar riff is constantly playing in my head!! (i think this riff is cousins with the riff from strawberry swing!!)
