Coldplay- X & Y

According to lead singer Chris Martin, the title X&Y is based on the ups and downs of his everyday life. Martin says "My whole day is a mixture of optimism and pessimism in its most extreme forms. And that’s what X&Y is to me. It’s two sides. I like the fact they’re very strong letters, very clear."
X&Y is influenced by European electronic music pioneers Kraftwerk, as well as 1970s electronica from the likes of David Bowie and Brian Eno. Coldplay received permission from Kraftwerk to use the main riff from "Computer Love" for the track "Talk", while Eno played backing synthesizer on the track "Low". The album's hidden track, "'Til Kingdom Come", was originally written by the band for Johnny Cash, but Cash passed away before he could record the song

X & Y

Trying hard to speak and
Fighting with my weak hand
Driven to distraction
It’s all part of the plan
When something is broken
And you try to fix it
Trying to repair it
Any way you can

I dive in at the deep end
You become my best friend
I want to love you but I don’t know if I can
I know something is broken and i’m trying to fix it
Trying to repair it any way I can

Oooh, oooh...
You and me are floating on a tidal wave
Together
You and me are drifting into outer space
And singing oooh, oooh...

You and me are floating on a tidal wave
Together
You and me are drifting into outer space
You and me are floating on a tidal wave
Together
You and me are drifting into outer space
And singing oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh...


A Message- awesome song!!!

My song is love
Love to the loveless shown
And it goes up
You don’t have to be alone

Your heavy heart
Is made of stone
And it’s so hard to see clearly
You don’t have to be on your own
You don’t have to be on your own

And i’m not gonna take it back
And i’m not gonna say I don’t mean that
You’re the target that i’m aiming at
And I'll get that message home

My song is love
My song is love unknown
And i’m on fire for you, clearly
You don’t have to be alone
You don’t have to be on your own

And i’m not gonna take it back
And i’m not gonna say I don’t mean that
You’re the target that i’m aiming at
And i’m nothing on my own
Got to get that message home

And i’m not going to stand and wait
Not gonna leave it until it’s much too late
Oh, on a platform i’m gonna stand and say
That i’m nothing on my own
And I love you, please come home

My song is love, is love unknown
And i’ve got to get that message home...



The hardest part- one of my fav songs when i'm running...


And the hardest part was letting go, not taking part
It was the hardest part
And the strangest thing was waiting for that bell to ring
It was the strangest start

I could feel it go down
Bittersweet I could taste in my mouth
Silver lining the clouds
Oh, and I
I wish that I could work it out

And the hardest part was letting go, not taking part
You really broke my heart, oh
And I tried to sing but I couldn’t think of anything
And that was the hardest part
Oh, oh

I could feel it go down
You left the sweetest taste in my mouth
The silver lining the clouds
Oh and I, Oh and I,
I wonder what it's all about
I wonder what it's all about

Everything I know is wrong
Everything I do, it just comes undone
And everything is torn apart
Oh, and that’s the hardest part
That’s the hardest part
Yeah, that’s the hardest part
That’s the hardest part

"The Hardest Part" was a stylistical nod to R.E.M., who remain a great influential force to Coldplay. In fact, "The Hardest Part" resembled R.E.M.'s 1991 hit Losing My Religion so much the band almost left it off the album.
