![]() Parachutes (2000) [ larger cover art ] |
So I look in your direction
But you pay me no attention, do you?
I know you don't listen to me
Cause you say you see straight through me, don't you?
But on and on from the moment I wake, to the moment I sleep
I'll be there by your side, just you try and stop me
I'll be waiting in line, just to see if you care
Oh… Did you want me to change?
But I'd change for good
And I want you to know that you'll always get your way
I wanted to say…
Don't you shiver, shiver
Sing it loud and clear, I'll always be waiting for you
So you know how much I need you
But you never even see me, do you?
And is this my final chance of getting you?
And on and on from the moment I wake, to the moment I sleep
I'll be there by your side, just you try and stop me
I'll be waiting in line, just to see if you care, if you care
Oh… Did you want me to change?
Well I'd change for good
And I want you to know that you'll always get your way
I wanted to say…
Don't you shiver, don't you shiver
Sing it loud and clear, I'll always be waitin' for you
Yeah I'll always be waiting for you
Yeah I'll always be waiting for you
Yeah I'll always be waiting for you, for you
I will always be waiting…
And it's you I see but you don't see me
And it's you I hear so loud and so clear
I sing it loud and clear and I'll always be waiting for you
So I look in your direction
But you pay me no attention
And you know how much I need you
But you never even see me

| einsteinstoe (edge of the idaho batholith~salmon river mtns.) | Posted: Sep 04, 2012 - 19:33 This song Live in Seattle May 2012.....Awesome. The WHOLE show was so fun. Production + music = BEST total concert experience, since I saw Pink Floyd (minus Roger) in early 90's.....and I have seen what I believe is a wide variety of world class, regional favorites, local favorites, unknowns, genre upon genre, over the many years. Radio paradise is the BOMB! I'm spreading the word! |
| jhorton (Trailer Park on Cape Cod) | Posted: Aug 21, 2012 - 17:11 Following the virtuosity of Copeland, Kraus, Ma, this sounds like what it is: Cheap Chinese plastic from Wal-Mart. |

Morrissey was an egregious example of this, but plenty of others could be named, I'm sure. 6 from the Nottingham jury. Too much yipping. Like someone stepped on tiny dog. |

Sure, they still put out a decent tune now and again, but I wouldn't really miss anything they've released after Rush of Blood. |
| sfrantz (Kathmandu, Nepal) | Posted: Nov 29, 2010 - 05:01 Seems so generic to me, but I guess it resonates in some people? It's too eager for me to read my jaded self into it. Makes me want Lou Reed and a Scotch. |

Obviously some folks get bitter and turned off to a band when they go mega-commercial and get over-played on FM, and no band is more deserving of it than Coldplay. But with that said, this is good music...not the best ever made, but it is damn good and IMHO not worth all the bashing. I didn't like them from the start, but it's ok. I just don't like that complaining voice. And Weird Al is an excellent musician (with a better voice). |

| Faterson (Slovakia) | Posted: Oct 31, 2008 - 01:38 Possibly the best Coldplay song ever. It's so raw and authentic. Coldplay get progressively worse as the time goes by, but the entire album Parachutes is rock music at its finest. |
