Best Coldplay lyrics are available below. A short Coldplay biography, including some interesting facts we uncovered, is here for your enjoyment as well.
Coldplay is one of the most successful rock bands that became famous in 2000. Coldplay perform stadium and pathetic, but at the same time gentle and lyrical rock with recognizable falsetto by Chris Martin. Their first album was criticized by the press for excessive imitation to the sounding of Radiohead, however this didn’t prevent them from their growth in popularity. The following two records have sold over 10 million copies for each. Coldplay participate in a number of social programs and often perform charity concerts.
The band comprises four members, who were born in different parts of Great Britain. Vocalist Chris Martin (born on March 2, 1977) is from Devon, drummer Will Champion (born on July 31, 1978) is from Southampton, bassist Guy Berryman (born on April 12, 1978) is a Scot, moved to Kent, guitarist Jonny Buckland (born on September 11, 1977) is an aborigine from North Wales. They made friends in London 1966, being students of the same college. Chris Martin was going to become a historian, Jonny Backland was engaged in astronomy and mathematics, Guy Berryman saw himself as an engineer, Will Champion planned to devote himself to anthropology. Alas, England has lost these valuable specialists, because they all took music seriously. From its first inception, the guys rehearsed at any places, from bathrooms to tennis parks.
Having gained experience, they decided to work on sound recording, and created the first EP "Safety" on their own money. This record had just 500 copies, which they presented to their friends. The band was suggested to participate at the festival “In The City”, where they were noticed by Simon Williams. He offered the guys sign to his label "Fierce panda" to record a single. The guys liked studio work a lot, and, having saved enough money, they recorded one more album “The Brothers & Sisters”(1999) that led them to another label, major "Parlophone". A serious breakthrough was with the single “Shiver” (in spring 2000), which immediately got into the British Top 40. There were two more minidisks in June, “Yellow” and “Trouble”, and by June they released a full-length album "Parachutes". The album presented a compilation of beautiful lyrically melancholic rock-ballads. The record immediately topped national charts and let Coldplay move from crowded pubs to large squares. In October 2001, the band set to recording the second album, and the sessions were already over by Christmas. The result satisfied everybody with the exception of the musicians, and they again sat in studio to remake and give the finishing touches on the material. As a result, "A rush of blood to the head" appeared for sale just in august 2002. The fans have already been waiting for the album for a long time, so the album peaked at the first position in many countries. Then Coldplay went on a world tour, having visited Europe, America, Australia and Japan. On the bases of this touring, there was the release of a double live album. Then Coldplay announced they took a pause. An absolutely new sound the band displayed in their last record “Viva LA Vida or Death And All His Friends”, a beautiful work, created with Brian Eno. In June 2008, “Viva la Vida” became the first (in 20 years) rock single of England that conquered the first line of the national American hit parade.
