And this is one of their Best!! Album and song!

I dont care the negative comments everytime Bill plays coldplay songs. I still love this music!!

I certainly don't love Coldplay, but they write very catchy pop ditties.  They're strongly reminiscent of U2, which is another band Bill plays a lot.  So, yeah... I'd say they're at least notch above mediocre, even if they aren't really to my taste.

There's a thrust that comes in advance of a hang glider lifting off from a takeoff perch. You feel the gust get stronger and then it's powerful enough. You trust the power and GO.

This song and, for the most part, this band do that for me. 

Whoooooooosh.......

glad people are voicing their opinions.  but, they are like bungholes, everyone has one........

Very nice!!

I don't get the Tetris album art.  I'm not picking out an "X & Y," nor a "CP."  Anyone got anything?

Yep, that sounds bout right!

I enjoyed these guys when their first album came out.
The second was ok for a while.
Then, all downhill.

Their music just isn't interesting.

Im not trying to spam or something, I love this Radio but hate this singer, so I made a script to "mute Winamp or have it play a saved track or another Radio, or even shutdown my computer" when they are playing. Can't stand hearing their (music)

Based on the comments I sense an opportunity for you to make a few bucks selling that script to fellow RP Coldplay haters.

Oh yeah, my "ColdPlay Skipping Script" is working, Woohooooo!!! No more pain listening to this band while taking a shower and not being able to stop it hahahaha

easy to hear, predictable, baladish ... in short: zzZZZzzZZZ

what's the obsession with coldplay on this station? they are middle of the road and mediocre. the singer's voice is also offkey

i think the only real fans of coldplay are tone deaf

Have to agree, still one of my top road-trip discs.  Very cinematic.

First comment in 6 months. I think if people realized how incredibly hard it is to come up with even a hummable  melody they wouldnt ho-hum this.  8

Is this album from 1996? I thought Parachutes came 2000 as their debutalbum... and X & Y came 2005

The problem with hearing this is that it's a very dull song from a very good album, probably the weakest and yet most played song on there. Tracks like A Message and Swallowed In The Sea are ignored in favour of this distinctly mediocre offering, not to mention some of the excellent tracks off other albums of theirs.

I'd like to see this song animated.

I used to like Coldplay when they were not so messianic.

Nothing like a Coldplay song to bring out the negative comments. It is not uncommon to reflexively dislike anything reaching the level of worldwide popularity that this band and album have. Most people do grow out of that phase eventually.

Solid 8. Amazing album that continues to impress. (btw, if you think all Coldplay songs sound alike, see above for a possible explanation)

the fact that this is one of the "biggest" british bands shows me what the people really dream of all the time…

ehm and yeah i don't like this song very much. but it's not bad.

Sing it Kermit

Yes. Some bands know that some of us geezers secretly love syncopated drums, continuous arpeggios, reverb-synth in the production, and a post-new wave sensibility. I hate myself for loving it, but I do love it and I would be lying if I said I didn't.
