Hey, I'm a new Coldplay fan. And I feel like I'm more than just a fan. I just love them so much. I love them so much I would never want to meet them because I would never want them not to like me.( yea I know I sound a little crazy. But I swear I'm not LOL) Well, I was walking SNL with Emma stone hosting, and I normally never watch the musical guest because This time I did because I couldn't find the remote. So one of the songs they played( it was their second song) just gave me this feeling. I just stood in my room and I just started dancing AND I NEVER DO THAT. the song was every teardrop is a waterfall and listening to it once made me want to research this band. So I looked up their past songs and bought their new album and I FELL IN LOVE. my favorite songs now are death and all his friends, violet hill, the scientist, god put a smile upon your face, Amsterdam and so many others. I feel so lame for not knowing them earlier. That's why I don't understand why people call them mainstream because they never get played on my radio.
P.S Mylo Xyloto maybe their most poppish album but it got converts like me. Just because I got into them because of their "pop" album doesn't mean I'm it's a mainstream teen wanting to be "cool" and just want to claim Coldplay as that example that do listen to "alternative" stuff.
