...and honey you should know that I could never go on without you

Doncs avui parlaré d’un dels meus grups de música preferits, en tinc uns quants, però potser aquest és el que em toca més la fibra, el que més sento.

Primer perquè us situeu una mica parlaré de la seva història:

Coldplay és una banda anglesa d'estil post-britpop-rock alternatiu formada l'any 1997 a Londres.
Sota les influències d'U2, Pink Floyd, a-ha, R.E.M., Echo i Bunnymen, Bob Dylan, The Flaming Lips, quan van començar els van comparar amb bandes com Radiohead, Oasis, Jeff Buckley, Travis i Kate Bush.

Van aconseguir l'èxit mundial ja amb el primer àlbum llançat al 2000. Des de llavors han publicat quatre àlbums d'estudi amb els quals han aconseguit nombrosos i importants premis musicals i han venut més de 50 milions de discs arreu del món. La seva música es caracteritza per unes lletres molt introspectives.
Els seus membres són: Chris Martin (cantant, guitarra i teclats), Jon Buckland (guitarra), Guy Berryman (baix) i Will Champion (bateria).

En la seva discografia trobem 4 obres:
-Parachutes(2000).
-A Rush of Blood to the Head (2002)
-The Scientist
-X&Y (2005)
- Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (2007)

Ara dos lletres de les seves cançons, que he triat entre moltes perquè m’emocionen i perquè em ser les lletres:

La primera és: Fix you

When you try your best but you don't succeed

When you get what you want but not what you need

When you feel so tired but you can't sleep

Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face

When you lose something you can't replace

When you love someone but it goes to waste could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home

and ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you

High up above or down below

when you're too in love to let it go but

If you never try you'll never know

Just what your worth

Lights will guide you home

and ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you

Tears streaming down your face

When you lose something you cannot replace

Tears streaming down your face and I

Tears streaming down your face I promise you

I will learn from my mistakes

Tears stream down your face and I

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you

La segona és: Speed of sound

How long before I get in

before it starts, before I begin

how long before you decide before

I know what it feels like

where to?

Where do I go?

if you've never tried then you'll never know

how long do I have to climb

up on the side of this mountain of mine

look up, I look up at night

planets are moving at the speed of light

climb up, up in the trees

every chance that you get

is a chance you seize

how long am I gonna can stand

with my head stuck under the sand

I'll start before I can stop

before I see thing the right way up

all that noise, all that sound

all those places I got found

and birds go flying at the speed of sound

to show how it all began

birds came flying from the underground

if you could see it then you'd understand

ideas that you'll never find

or the inventors could never design

the buildings that you put up

Japan and China... all lit up

the sign that I couldn't read

or the light that I couldn't see

some things you have to believe

but others are puzzles, puzzling me

all that noise, all that sound

all those oh, when you see it then you'll understand

places I got found

and birds go flying at the speed of sound

to show how it all began

birds came flying from the underground

if you could see it then you'd understand

all those signs I knew what they meant

something you can't invent

Some get made, and some get sent

ooh

words go flying at the speed of sound

to show how it all began

birds came flying from the underground

if you could see it then you'd understand

Tot i la gran popularitat de Coldplay, la banda va seguir mostrant-se molt prudent respecte al com la seva música es feia servir als mitjans de comunicació. La banda va permetre que la seva música es fes servir a pel·lícules, televisió i propagandes, com ara el tràiler de Peter Pan, la gran aventura. No obstant això, Coldplay va estar molt en contra de l'ús de la seva música per a promocionar productes. La banda rebutjà ofertes multimilionàries ofertes de diverses empreses de refrescs.
