Viva La Coldplay
Coldplay rocks. Or soft rocks. Or probably alternative rocks. Or whatever you wanna call it. But they sure do it bloody well.
It's settled then. They're definitely in my top 3 all-time favourites. Bryan Adams, Coldplay and Evanescence - in no particular order. I got hold of Coldplay's last album, Viva La Vida, only this past week. And I loved it. Just 2 hearings and I already have a favourite song. See why.Yes! When it started we had high hopes
Now my back's on the line
My back's on the ropes
When it started we were alright
But night makes a fool
of us in the daylight
There we were dying of frustration
Saying "Lord lead me not into temptation"
But it's not easy when she turns you on
Sin, stay gone
If you'd only, if you'd only said yes
Whether you will's anybody's guess
God, only God knows I'm trying my best
But I'm just so tired of this loneliness
So up they picked me by the big toe
I was held from the rooftop, then they let go
Dizzily screaming 'Let the windows down'
As I crumble to the ground
If you'd only if you'd only say yes
Whether you will's anybody's guess
God, only God knows she won't let me rest
But I'm just so tired of this loneliness
I've become so tired of this loneliness
It's easy to see why this song is so awesome. Incredibly moving, incredibly hard-hitting, incredibly appropriate. Yeah, there are quite a few others on the album that I absolutely fantastic, but this one stood out for some reason. Here, give it an ear.
P.S. - Someone get them to tour Mumbai!
