Politik
by Coldplay

Look at earth from outer space
Everyone must find a place
Give me time and give me space
Give me real don't give me fake
Give me strength reserve control
Give me heart and give me soul
Give me time give us a kiss
Tell me your own politik

And open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes

Give me one, 'cause one is best
In confusion, confidence
Give me peace of mind and trust
Don't forget the rest of us
Give me strength reserve control
Give me heart and give me soul
Wounds that heal and cracks that fix
Tell me all your politik

And open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Just open up your eyes

But give me love over, love over, love over this, ah
And give me love over, love over, love over this, ah

Yeah Chris has said that about multiple songs over the years. I heard him say in an interview that it was Viva la Vida, but at the time I have no doubt it was his favourite for awhile, and of course this is Coldplay’s greatest song, how could anyone ever say otherwise? It’s perfect in every factor and has literally transcended feelings that I didn’t think were possible. Absolute work of art ❤️

Music Lover

I couldn’t agree more! If there’s one thing Coldplay know how to do right, it’s always starting of an album with the right song that sets the tone right away, such as Don’t Panic with Parachutes, perfect start to a brilliant melancholy album. Then this breathtaking beauty of course, with A Rush of Blood To The Head, perfect start to an absolute masterpiece! (my fav btw) but then on to Square One with X&Y, another perfect start that sets the tone of a great album which has been overlooked a lot, but I think it’s still awesome. Then on we go to Life In Technicolor with Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, despite it being just an instrumental this time, it’s still the perfect start to a switch in style and sound based album, which makes it more exciting now we are hearing these new interesting types of sounds and ambience, but anyways you get what I’m saying, I could go on but I don’t wanna write a huge paragraph that you probably won’t get round to reading anyway, just wanted to make the point haha, have a great day fellow Coldplayers!

I don't think the later music they made is fake. Yes, I love old Coldplay over the new, but I think it's unfair of you to say this. They evolved and it's obvious they were very influenced by their rising fame, but I could never say that Coldplay stopped giving heart into their songs. It seems like the latest album (Everyday Life) is very much about their personal view on the things happening in the world.

At my last Coldplay show, in 2017, they played an acoustic version of In My Place in a small stage in the middle of the crowd. When they finished, I heard a guy nearby saying to his friend "I don't know this song, it must be a new one". I had to hold myself not to laugh out loud.

The irony is most of Coldplay’s best songs aren’t singles. Almost like only the true fans would uncover their best material, so it’s so easy to spot a fake fan because they’ll just say they like the singles.

I agree. At least Coldplay fans listen to all of the music and take it seriously. All of my favorite artists are much more obscure (Radiohead, Tool, Sigur Ros, Beck, Smashing Pumpkins, etc.) than most pop artists. Coldplay is the one 'pop' artist that actually has a serious fan base. They give their honest opinion and look at the music in an artistic way. Good for you, Coldplay fans.

A true fan will always appreciate all their work even if some of it doesn’t resonate to them as much. For me personally, I really like Ode To Deodorant, and it wasn’t even released onto anything except a cassette tape with Brothers & Sisters back at the time, but now it’s pretty much non existent, (it was their first song btw) but the point is, most of Coldplay’s best material is largely unknown.

I was pretty much the same when it came to Coldplay music: I only stuck with the old albums and refused to listen to Ghost Stories after hearing A Sky Full of Stars on the radio and hating it. Only until recently did I try to give other Ghost Stories songs a chance. After hearing Ink and watching the music video for True Love, I realized that Coldplay may have changed the style of their music, but it wasn't necessarily bad. True Love was pretty hard-hitting and Ink had the same soothing calmness that many old Coldplay songs had. It was a little hard to get used to, but once I got accustomed to their new style, I enjoyed it :)

@Brandon Avila u "grew up" listening to parachutes, which means you were still a kid when u "listened" to it. your judgement was that of a kid. and if album SALES is how u judge an album, then i'm sorry we're obviously not in the same level, so i don't wish to talk with u about music anymore. don't bother to reply because u have been MUTED.

Greys

@Brandon Avila obviously YOU are the one who doesn't know how to read your own comments. you said "Parachutes doesn't have as much recognition as Ghost stories", which is WRONG. Ghost stories don't have half the recognition Parachutes once had. To new generation like u, Ghost stories might seem more "recognized" than Parachutes, because you were still in diapers when Parachutes was released. Ghost stories is THE album being talked about RIGHT NOW because it's a NEW album, that is all there is to it. If you're going to talk about RECOGNITION, Parachutes had all the recognition any album could possibly need, and stays that way for a decade.

Lazerstarfish

I think all the albums are great in their own way. There's no "old Coldplay" or "new Coldplay". It's just that they need to try new sounds to grow as a band.

Parachutes was an amazing debut album, it's what you can listen to on a rainy day and just relax.

A Rush of Blood to the Head is, in the opinion of many, an extremely strong rock album, it's a strong statement and there are very few flaws.

X & Y is either loved or hated. They were thinking big, but some of the songs just kind of fade together. With that said, it does deliver several strong tracks like: Talk, Fix You and Till Kingdom Come.

Viva la Vida, in my opinion, is one of the greatest, most forward thinking albums ever created. After X & Y received extremely mixed reviews, the band went back to the drawing board and decided to create something completely new. No ground was left uncovered and no stone was left unturned. While they tried a bunch of different sounds, it doesn't seem all over the place. All the tracks come together to form a sense of completeness, creating one of the most satisfying albums of all time.

Mylo Xyloto, like X & Y, received extremely mixed reviews. The creative juices of Viva la Vida continued to flow, but they tried to do two completely different things: experiment with a new sound and please the masses. The final result wasn't bad, but lots of the catchy, sometimes electric sounds, could have been better if there were less cliche lyrics. Even though they produced a couple mega-hit-singles, it was not their best work.

Ghost Stories is set to be released in May and is expected to contain sounds similar to AROBTTH.

Music Lover

50w↑4

Well, don’t always believe what’s expected. Ghost Stories sounded nothing like AROBTTH, it was more reminiscent of Parachutes if anything, but I liked the mellow-lowkey essence it contained nevertheless.

It was after X&Y that Brian Eno, the master of ambient music was hired as their producer. It was Eno's job to produce Coldplay's music in a way that would appeal to a bigger audience, as you said. But that meant for Coldplay to let go of their original sound (Parachutes, A Rush, X&Y), to make way for pop synths, and bright choruses, and an overall more electronic approach rather that rock. While I love Eno's music, he is a genius and clearly, he's made them more famous so job well done. But him and Coldplay imo should have had a more laid back collaboration, or not collaborated at all. I'd take Politik over Paradise any day.

Noah Hutch Actually it’s a C7 dominant chord, it consists of C E G A# and then the second chord isn’t just a basic F minor chord, if you listen closely you can hear a subtle A# being played, so relative to how you would play it, you’d play the 3rd inversion of F minor but just add an A# to make that C F G# A# all together.

I love this song because it's the perfect mesh of Muse and Coldplay. You can definitely hear the Muse influence in the first half of the song, with the powerful piano part that Matt helped put together and the vocals.The second half of the song is the true, beautiful, classic Coldplay sound. The transition from the darker tone to the happier one is amazing. (I think this song is like the Coldplay version of Citizen Erased, anyone else agree?)

Lol are you serious? I hear absolutely no Muse influence on this masterpiece whatsoever! Muse are trash so why would you say that? I’m sick and tired of people trynna be all like, oh did you know this song was actually inspired by so and so, and yardy yardy yah, just stfu and stop trying to take away the songs masterpiece credibility, just because your jealous! It was Coldplay’s genius that created Politik plain and simple! Never compare Muse to Coldplay again!

Honestly, I’ve listened to a lot of Muse songs, and I never noticed this song sounding anything like Muse per se, but I know Matt helped put this masterpiece together though, but what makes Coldplay so superior imo is that they have their own great melancholic sound that doesn’t imitate other band sounds.

You should listen to Apocalypse Please from Muse's album Absolution. It came out a year after A Rush of Blood to the Head.

I think that X & Y was the last album that I truly loved by Coldplay. I like later ones, and I think that Ghost stories definitely has some good stuff. But - Parachutes, Blue Room LP, Rush of Blood to the Head, and X&Y solidify them as one of my favorite bands.

Music Lover

50w↑2

Agreed! The fact that their first song (ode to deodorant) is now up there with some of my favourite Coldplay songs more than solidifies them as my favourite, but this indescribable masterpiece will always be my favourite hands down.

I agree however I think it has more to do with the fact that I was young, having new experiences (university, serious love etc) that I connected with these albums more. The new albums are great but I’m too swamped with work & kids to really appreciate it.

Myriel No, whenever Chris has been asked in interviews where the inspiration for Clocks, or Fix You came from, he’s never once said, from Muse. I know Chris is a fan of Muse, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that some of the song ideas came from their music. Chris has said time and time again that he just fishes around on the piano, and these great songs just come out, and I genuinely believe that, as Chris is a genius. Coldplay have the best chemistry in the world imo, so I would never want to discredit their incredible work but entertaining that thought.

Myriel

@Music Lover did you know that megalomania by muse was the musical inspiration behind fix you? and clocks was inspired by sunburn by muse

Music Lover

That wouldn’t surprise me, but I feel like Clocks inspired Starlight by Muse, as both songs have the same chord progression, and the piano riff from Starlight uses a lot of the same notes that Clocks does. Coldplay have inspired so many great songs for sure! ❤️

Every time I listen to one of these songs, it's like... What happened to Coldplay? Why can't they write songs this emotionally impacting or musical anymore? It's crazy what can happen to a band just because their leader had such a 180 degree turn in terms of their musical taste. It seems like no one can do this anymore. Sad, eh? This song is extra relatable now just because of this. Give me love over this is right... Come on Clldplay, I can appreciate your new stuff but can't you just write as musically and lyrically strong songs anymore? What's good aboput "my heart go ba boom ba boom" or "I'm feeling drunk and high"? There is nothing heartfelt and artistic about that. Anyone could put at together. You need to make your music stand out more. Instead of following the mainstream formula. Have a good day everyone,

@Zebedeus True but at first glance "got me feeling drunk and high" is an awful lyric pretty much no matter what. Yes, it may have a deeper meaning, and it does, but it is extremely cringeworthy and makes Coldplay look like they joined the group of those big name acts who typically talk about those themes to get fame and money (because apparently mainstream interests these days are directed towards that). Coldplay still having deep meaning in their songs but presenting it in a way that makes it similar to many crappy mainstream songs... that still doesn't make it that much better. I mean I like the song but in comparison to Coldplay's old works it fucking sounds so mainstream and ungenuine and poppy it isn't even funny.
