If you know me then you most likely also know that I love the band Coldplay. They are one of those bands that anyone can turn to for a song that fits any mood. Whether you’re miserable or full of happiness, I assure you Coldplay is the way to go. Here are some of the best songs (in my opinion) that everyone should listen to:
1. "The Scientist"
Listen when – You’re reminiscing about someone or something and you wish you could start something over.
This is my favorite Coldplay song, and although the lyrics combined with the instrumental pieces can make you feel a little sentimental. I still turn it up and sing as loud as I can whenever it comes on.
2. "Fix You"
Listen when – you feel hopeless about something that is out of your control.
The slow but meaningful lyrics in this song put into words what you can’t especially when you’re feeling lost, and are unsure about how to deal with a situation. While it emphasizes the despair, it also sheds light to the idea that everything will work out eventually.
3. "Adventure of a Lifetime"
Listen when - you’re around someone that makes you happy.
This is one of those songs that just puts you in a better mood. It’s one of Chris Martin’s newest masterpieces and you can just tell he has fun every time this song is performed.
4. "Swallowed in the Sea"
Listen when - you’re upset about a failed relationship.
“You belong with me, not swallowed in the sea”: pretty self-explanatory.
5. "Everglow"
Listen when - you finally see the good in something bad.
Sometimes things don’t work out the way you want, and after you’re done feeling all of the intense emotions and the pain has subsided, this song helps to put the situation as a whole into perspective. (I would also recommend the song Magic for this category)
6. "In My Place"
Listen when – you make a mistake.
We’ve all been there, mistakes are made, but what’s important is realizing it and forgiving yourself in order to move forward. This song reminds you that it’s okay to be upset, and do things you wouldn’t usually do, as long as you eventually learn from them.
7. "Paradise"
Listen when – you’re in a good mood and want to stay that way.
Come one who doesn’t love paradise? Para-para-paradiseeeee it’s too catchy to listen and not want to sing along.
8. "Yellow"
Listen when – you’ve found the one you would do anything for.
Because what’s a more romantic lyric than “for you I’d bleed myself dry.” Just kidding, yellow is another one of my favorites, it’s beautiful… even if you’re single and signing it to your puppy.
It is important to note that I have not yet heard a song by Coldplay that I didn’t love, these are just a few that I believe everyone can relate to. Enjoy!
