He carries and drives this song on the lead with that magical AROBTTH-era riff. “1.36,” a B-side from A Rush Of Blood To The Head is no exception. Not all of those depressing songs hit emotionally, but this one sure does.Ī thing I adore about Coldplay is that their B-sides pack just as big of a punch as their big hits. The lyrics, obviously, depict heartbreak, but that's what you'd come to expect from this era. Soothing melody throughout, and Chris displays his amazing vocal range from start to finish. One of the sorrow songs from Ghost Stories but very easily the best one.

I feel bad for some of these tracks almost!īut here it is: the official top 25 Coldplay songs. It was so tough, because saying that one song is, by definition of the ranks, better than the other is emotionally tough. I made heartbreaking cuts and gut wrenching ranks. At times, it's almost like comparing a pitcher and hitter in baseball they're hard to compare. You have so many eras, so many sounds, so many choices, when picking the elite Coldplay songs. I'm gonna try and answer the question I've asked myself often: what are the best Coldplay songs? If I'm showing someone the band for the first time, what songs am I playing if handed the AUX cord?

It probably had to do with Yoko Paltrow fucking everything up, but hey we're past that.īut besides Ghost Stories, Coldplay's albums have all been jam-packed with incredible songs full of totally different styles bound by that constant, special Coldplay touch.īefore we all dive into the new album, I'll try and name the best of those tunes. Seemed like there was a direct correlation. I mean, it had some tremendous songs on it, but for every great song, it seemed like there was a very skippable one. It was cool to have, yeah, but it didn't really feel like the true Coldplay spirit was around. Ghost Stories was so wishy-washy, and it didn't even feel like a full project as opposed to a nice random LP that dropped. But I can't really wrap my head around it.įrom what we've gotten so far, it seems like Chris, Jonny, Will, and Guy have been as committed as ever with A Head Full Of Dreams. I feel like I should be through the roof with excitement. And now, on December 3rd/4th, 2015, the next great Coldplay project–A Head Full Of Dreams–is in our hands We've been waiting for LP7 for a while, basically ever since we got the whispers just after Ghost Stories‘ release.
