Hi There,
My name is Meg, and I just found out about this site today while searching online for tickets to the Charlotte show on August 7th.
I am SO excited to have found this forum! I guess I will share my "Coldplay Story" with everyone. I had known of Coldplay since "Parachutes" however, my fan status has come about over the past 4 years, most specifically the past 3.
Basically, Coldplay was on my labor and delivery music. Well, labor and delivery took its' own turn of events and my tunes went out the window.
After my daughter was born, she had to stay in the neonatal intensive care unit for almost a week. Somewhere in the time (a total haze to me now), I became ADDICTED to "In My Place" Honestly, that song would soothe my spirit while I waited to bring our baby girl home!
Much to my surprise, once she was home life was tough, way tough! I began to battle post-partum depression. Throughout the months, Coldplay music would lift my energy level or calm me when I reached the end of my rope with a colicky baby.
Long story short, THEY ROCK! And, now, I have the BIGGEST 2.5 year old fan of Coldplay in the world :) She can ALMOST sing all of "Fix You" and she LOVES the Viva la Vida chant, and Death will Never Conquer(WIll).
Looking forward to being part of this forum!
