![]() Parachutes (2000) [ larger cover art ] |
Did I drive you away?
I know what you'll say
You'll say, "Oh, sing one you know"
But I promise you this
I'll always look out for you
Yeah that's what I'll do
I say, "Oh"
I say, "Oh"
My heart is yours
It's you that I hold onto
That's what I'll do
And I know I was wrong
But I won't let you down
Oh, yeah I will, yeah I will
Yes I will
I said, "Oh"
I cry, "Oh"
Yeah, I saw sparks
Yeah, I saw sparks
And I saw sparks
Yeah, I saw sparks
Sing it out
La-la-la-la, oh-oh
La-la-la-la, oh-oh
La-la-la-la, oh-oh
La-la-la-la, oh-oh
| fredriley (Nottingham, UK) | Posted: Nov 13, 2006 - 06:14 Aural Mogadon, like much of Coldplay's stuff - in one ear and out the other, leaving a vague feeling of sedation... |
| pgarner | Posted: Aug 17, 2006 - 10:57 Typically Coldplay, half-singing with drivelly lyrics |
| Thistle (Peg City) | Posted: Aug 17, 2006 - 10:55 I agree that this is not the strongest song on the album for sure. I don't dislike it. It is a fine song, but not a standout for me yet. As for his voice I love it. |
| aristoteles (Spain) | Posted: Jul 04, 2006 - 10:29 Not the best song in the album, 6.8 for this... |

Not surprising, is it? The title of this lame song, for example..."Sparks?" What a joke. This guy's singing, if you can call it that, could use a few sparks. For me, most of their music has a similar, emotionless quality. |

| kazuma (Austin, TX) | Posted: Mar 09, 2006 - 10:35 As usual, I like the instrumental performance, but the lame crooning makes me want to destroy something. |
| horstman | Posted: Feb 22, 2006 - 18:56 From Newsweek "Perspective", dated February 27, 2006 : "People are fed up with us-and so are we. We won't see you for a long time. I mean it." Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, on the band's decision to "go into hiding" and quit the music scene for up to two years Creed had the same attitude a few years back and you know what happened to them. Poof! I like some of Coldplay's music but they seem like a watered down Radiohead that was formed by the bobblehead media drones. But then again, Bill here will make sure we don't forget them in the next two years, and given the variety and "differing" perspectives that this station puts forth, is that a bad thing? |
| Paul_in_Australia | Posted: Feb 22, 2006 - 18:53 This would be a great late night track. but its two in the afternoon! < In australia, where I am! > I have yet to discover what is the excitement about Coldplay, and this track is designed to be soporific, and it had exactly that effect on me |
| lixy (Sverige) | Posted: Feb 08, 2006 - 01:54 Well below RP standards! |
| owlgirl (Philly or Utah) | Posted: Oct 28, 2005 - 23:10 Please play something that's a little more lively for those of us studying accounting in the middle of the night! Please ! |
| Dianyla (Portland, OR) | Posted: Oct 28, 2005 - 23:07 Hmmm, back when Coldplay actually made good music. |

Quite agree. Im a big coldplay fan, and hearing this was totally unexpected with the course of the movie to that point. |
| JayA1969 (Santa Monica, CA) | Posted: Jun 03, 2005 - 14:09 this song is used in the movie Wedding Crashers...it works really well in the film... |
| Jessica (France) | Posted: May 05, 2005 - 02:32 I really like this. :D |

I can't think of one I've ever heard before. Now that I have, I can't think of one I like. |

Now that would be quite an achivement. By the way, I like this song. An 7. |

No, I also find it generic: generically annoying. |

Ditto. Coldplay brings something simple but unique to the musical world. Pleasant. Energetic. This album was one of the rare ones I instantly liked the whole way through. |
| bobringer (Wayne, NJ) | Posted: Aug 27, 2004 - 11:41 I like coldplay and all... but... <-( |

| beherenow | Posted: Aug 12, 2004 - 18:42 Love the vocals. The slow tempo and subdued delivery are very appropriate for the song. He sounds like he just finished a marathon love-making session. :goodvibes: |
