Just months after Coldplay released their #1 debut album,
Parachutes, in England, they were hailed as Band of the
Year 2000 in the music press. How did these four college
friends become the poster children for a nation's emotions?
It may have happened at the speed of light, but it wasn't
as easy as it seems.
Coldplay secured a permanent position in Britain's music
elite by writing beautiful, simple songs that gently pulled
at the heartstrings of a nation. Somewhere in between the
confident, vulnerable guitar playing of Jonny Buckland, the
melodic bassline of Guy Berryman, thoughtful drumming of
Will Champion, and lead Chris Martin's stark, tenor vocals
are answers for the soul. Although melancholy stands behind
every Coldplay song, each one is also steeped in an More...

Review about Coldplay
It is an amazing song, but... | Reviewer: Damhnaic Carithzna
------ About the song Viva la Vida performed by Coldplay
I just have to say, i love how many people never even looked at the lyrics. I thin i noticed about 8 different misquotes, which therefore wrecks most of what they were trying to prove. but i personally believe Lena is uncannily close, especially with the line 'I know Saint Peter will call my name' in reference to his eventual escape from Saint Helenas, and what he thought would be his chance to recapture control over Europe.
But more than this song having so many possible historical references, it's more than enything amazing, beautiful, and inspiring.
My song IS love. | Reviewer: Jordan
------ About the song A Message performed by Coldplay
This song [and band] changed my life in so many ways. I even have the song's first line [my song is love] tattooed on my inner right wrist as a reminder of what this song did for me. [There is more meaning behind the tattoo..but it's a bit lengthy :] ]

------ About the song Trouble performed by Coldplay
Coldplay and what they do is magic...they have got this combination of tone,word,pain and joy at the same time in their music...even if, when u listen to "trouble" it hurts u somewhere in your heart,then it gives you a great relief,and pain goes away...thank to them for all they have done and keep shining,its a real true meaning of art...unique band!
and the truth is, i miss you. | Reviewer: anonymous
------ About the song Warning Sign performed by Coldplay
this song is amazing, so many people can relate to it.
i've heard it a lot and never understood it till now.
i dated a guy from my hometown this summer for a little while, and i had been interested in him for a long time before, but i moved away the previous summer.
so while visiting this summer we didn't want to miss our chance and get together.
but i was so scared of getting close to him because i knew eventually i would have to go home, and i didn't realize that i had such a good thing at the time.
i ended up getting scared and cheating on him.
and i was so ashamed afterward that i couldn't even talk to him, and he wouldn't talk to me.
the worst part is i ended up leaving totally out of the blue, before i had a chance to tell him what went wrong, and how sorry i am.

------ About the song Viva la Vida performed by Coldplay
i think this is a great song. first time i heard it i loved it. i think people need to not over analyse everything, like lena, TC, and the anonymous review. just listen to the song. no need to think of the historical relevance or irrelevance. another coldplay masterpiece.
the only album where i liked everysong. and ALOT | Reviewer: joel
------ About the song Death and All His Friends performed by Coldplay
this album. a word i cannot describe. Coldplays indie sounds just got better. their style is soo unique soo original. the first ever song i heard was Violet Hill. and i liked the chorus.so i searched it up listened to their songs and man did i ever fall in love with Viva la Vida. after that i bought the album. then i listened to the other songs and MAN it was worth EVERY single penny. coldplay really knows how to make a song sound amazing. the lyrics and melody. Every single songs chorus sounds PERFECT. Coldplay really nailed it on this. this album can start a new type of genre.
Whole Album | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Death and All His Friends performed by Coldplay
I bought the cd just to listen to Viva la Vida. When I first listened to the whole cd, I thought man Coldplay did awful on this one, after a few days of listening to Death and all his friends, Yes, Violet Hill and all the others. I fell in love with the whole album.
Viva La Vida may actually change the world. | Reviewer: David
------ About the song Death and All His Friends performed by Coldplay
When asked about Coldplay's latest release, Viva La Vida, Chris Martin sarcastically said: "It will change the world."
However, Martin may not need the sarcasm when saying that about such an epic achievment. It is not an exaggeration to say that Coldplay has achieved an album that can reach any person on earth.
The sounds are so powerful that they transcend genres and resound in a persons heart.
The whole album may not flow flawlessly, but each song is orchestrated with amazing dynamics.
I challenge anyone to list to the first and last tracks of this album and not feel something.
The truth is. i miss you | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Warning Sign performed by Coldplay
Theres one particular part of this song i relate to... "When the truth is, i miss you" My boyfriend has been away for a while. We're together but i don't see him. I get a letter in the mail every single day and i write him everyday. When i write i try to sound happy, because i know he wants me to be. But the truth is, i miss him. And i'm not as happy as i'd be if he was home...
st peter WILL call his name | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Viva la Vida performed by Coldplay
A dethroned, tyrannical king reflects on the time when he "ruled the world" as he approaches the end of his life, remorseful for his wicked reign and confident that he will not enter Paradise ("I know St. Peter won't call my name").
this is wrong
it says st peter will call his name...
Songs don't yet equal reality! | Reviewer: Ram
------ About the song Viva la Vida performed by Coldplay
Personally, even after having listened to this song over and over again (for it is beautiful, definitely a master piece), I see no relation between the lyrics and any factual historical event, it is in my opinion a song about power and its lose. Might or might not have been inspired by reality, otherwise I'd be asking "where" is the violet hill? We have to admit that song are poems and mostly written to make their readers/listeners feel certain emotions when exposed to it. Through metaphors!

------ About the song Death and All His Friends performed by Coldplay
Personally, I was never a fan of coldplay, was toom much the sortof thing my mother liked, but i gotta say, the new album is briliant.
this song especially suprised me, cos it was sortof out of place on the album, but good all teh same....
New Sound | Reviewer: Tammy
------ About the song Lost! performed by Coldplay
Really never listened to Coldplay before - expect for Yellow/Clocks - but I bought this new album and I like it alot...not sure if LOST! is a new sound for them, but its a great song - with a great beat...great for long hills on a bike!! Enjoy!
Islands indeed | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Warning Sign performed by Coldplay
Wow Tyler, your story holds so much similarity to mine.
Here's my deal. Our relationship wasn't long. It only lasted for 2 months, but "the truth is, that I miss you so". I liked this girl a lot, but then after month of dating I just tried to avoid her. I don't know what was in my mind. After the second month I just dumped her in the middle of a good relationship. That was one of the stupidest things I've done in my life. She obviously had strong feelings to me for a long time but I just tried to ignore her the best I could... Until now. Recently I found out that she's dating my good friend, and now I can't stop thinking of her and the mistakes I made in the past. This song tells my story. You were an island but I passed you why, you were and island to discover. And I passed you. The girl is great and I can't blame her for dating someone else. I was the stupid one who left her.
coldplay #1 | Reviewer: john
------ About the song White Shadows performed by Coldplay
X&Y is the first cd i ever got and i was blown away from the first day i listened to it. i think What If and X&Y are better songs than this but still, the sound is unbelievely amazing. the whole album sends shivers up my arms and legs every time i listen to it.
something for everyone to love | Reviewer: john
------ About the song Viva la Vida performed by Coldplay
This song is simply amazing:
First the awesome imagery of someone who has lost everything or HIS/HER world.
Second the beat is so simple there is something for everyone to love. to the musician it has strings which is an instrument not usually found in most songs on the radio today (i havent listened to coldplay much lately until this song) for music lover its just simple which is great to hear.
the lyrics are very inspirational they serve as a warning to guard what you love, and to hold on so tightly that you will never let go becuase if you do its all over and you have lost your grip on your world.
mind-blowingly beautiful | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Fix You performed by Coldplay
what a song. it's heart-wrenching. i can relate to the lyrics so well, and i'm sure so many of us can.
this song is so beautiful and so touching, i don't even know how to describe it.
thank you coldplay, for making a song that truly goes inside and touches one's heart. <3

Viva la Vida metaphoric meaning | Reviewer: Tito
------ About the song Viva la Vida performed by Coldplay
I would have to agree with Jann bellow me. It's probably not that specific. Personally when i read it, it seems like hes using this as a metaphor, like most music usually is. I think its about love personally. When i read it, thats what i got out of it.
