Multiple stories exist to explain how the band decided on "Yellow." Chris Martin told Howard Stern that the word means nothing at all, and through the years he made up stories about it to encourage an interviewer to move on to the next question. Reportedly the title "Yellow" came up somewhat randomly to title the song. This was the breakthrough hit single for Coldplay. Chris Martin's breakup with his wife Gwyneth Paltrow is also seen as a significant influence on the album. Chris Martin has said the album is about the concepts of exploring the impact of past actions on the future and personal capacity for unconditional love.
COLDPLAY LIST SONG FULL
"A Sky Full of Stars" is more upbeat in sound than most of the rest of the songs on Ghost Stories. "Sky Full Of Stars" earned a Grammy Award nomination for Best Pop Duo or Group Performance. The chart success crossed musical genres hitting #1 on both rock and dance charts while reaching the top 10 at adult pop radio. It became Coldplay's third top 10 pop hit single in the US and first in six years. The MTV Europe Awards also named "Speed Of Sound" Best Song.Ĭoldplay joined forces with star dance music producer and artist Avicii as well as producer Paul Epworth, known for his work with Adele and Florence and the Machine to create "A Sky Full of Stars." The result is an expansive, danceable track released in advance of the group's sixth studio album Ghost Stories.
"Speed Of Sound" earned two Grammy Award nominations including for Best Rock Song and won a Brit Award for Best British Single. That makes him reluctant to perform the song live. In recent years Chris Martin has said that he dislikes "Speed Of Sound" because the band never got it right when recording it. With its top 10 debut on the Billboard Hot 100, Coldplay were the first British group to accomplish that feat since the Spice Girls nine years earlier with "Say You'll Be There." "Speed Of Sound" was the group's biggest chart success in the US until "Viva La Vida" hit #1 three years later. It also reached the top 10 at adult pop and alternative radio. It reached the top 10 on the US pop singles chart becoming the band's biggest hit single to that point. The drumbeat was inspired by Kate Bush's song "Running Up That Hill." "Speed Of Sound" was released as the lead single for the album X and Y. The music video was directed by long-term Coldplay collaborator Mat Whitecross after a clip filmed with Hype Williams was discarded.Ĭhris Martin of Coldplay has said that "Speed Of Sound" was inspired by the band listening to music by Kate Bush and his own daughter Apple. The band is also shown performing in elephant costumes at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa. Shot on location in London and South Africa, it earned a Best Rock Video honor from the MTV Video Music Awards. The accompanying music video features lead vocalist Chris Martin dressed as an elephant. "Paradise" went all the way to #1 on the UK pop singles chart. It also became a dance hit peaking at #7 and broke into the adult contemporary radio chart. They also performed it live on the US television show Saturday Night Live. "Paradise" became a top 5 hit in the US on the alternative, rock, and adult pop charts. They did end up performing the song live on the X Factor finale show. Chris Martin first started writing "Paradise" when approached to write a winner's single for the competition show Instead, Coldplay kept it for themselves. It earned the group a Grammy Award nomination for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. There isn’t a song on this album that is terrible."Paradise" was the second single released from Coldplay's album Mylo Xyloto. And the Instrumentals and the Lyrics are downright amazing. From sad songs like Fix You, X&Y, and What If, to very upbeat songs like White Shadows, Square One, and Low. Take a mixture of upbeat and sad alternative music, and it just feels like heaven to the ears. And I might get hate for this, but X&Y is the best Coldplay Album. AROB has amazing instrumental music which kind of carries the album a little bit more then the lyrics.
Ghost Stories has really sad music and upbeat songs which it executed perfectly. AROBTTH and Ghost Stories are both really amazing albums. AHFOD and Mylo Xyloto have really upbeat songs which are all really good, just not the greatest. Parachutes is in C cause don’t get me wrong it’s really good, but it’s mainly just sad soft rock.
The only song on there I really like is Viva La Vida.
For explanation, Viva La Vida is the one Coldplay Album I kinda dislike.
