COLDPLAY-ing






If you happen to tune in to MTV, you cant help but notice the new videos from new artists they play. Well some you cant notice because they are not that great to be noticed but you know...you get the picture right?

And for a fact,with the advent of so many bands these days, its really hard to decide which song to listen or which group to idolize. Lets see, just to name new bands both foreign and local, there is the ClickFive,Spongecola, Callalily, Pupil,Itchyworms and the oh-so-not-interesting Cueshe [Bwahahaha..read:its just my opinion]

Oohh...but not only bands, solo artists too. On the list are Rihanna, Cassie, whats-her-name and the list goes on and on..

But despite these new bands and artists, no one [and i mean NO ONE] could ever replace that extraordinary, exceptional Bristish band permanently marked on my heart. Do i need to say it?

Duh..Coldplay!!

I know it will spark some arguments and violent reactions if i say that they are the best band, so let me rephrase it and say they are ONE of the best bands in the world. I could listen to their songs all day and i wouldnt even get tired.

Let me give you a quick history of how i first met Coldplay and how i fell inlove to the beauty of their music.[So cheesy]

I first heard them when i was watching The OC.[yes..this teeny bopper thing was my favorite before] It was their season finale and people were punching each other,dying..the drama was very heavy. I was very absorbed in the episode. When one of the characters drowned in the pool, this very melancholic song played as their BG music. It was very solemn yet the song was kind of a rock/pop song.

The song was suck on my head.Yet i didnt know wat song was that or who sang it. At that time, i was very ignorant with the music industry. At that time, coldplay was just a word to me.

But as destiny would find its way to let a fat kid find that jar of cookie, destiny made Coldplay and i meet once again.

I have just downloaded BearShare and i was searching for songs to download. [Everyone knows what it is right? But to the clueless, it is a program that allows you to download MP3's from the web.] I typed in: Songs from The OC. After a few seconds, it displayed hundreds of songs which the TV show used as their BG music. There were hundreds. I randomly clicked the song i thought was nice.. and guess what? I magically clicked that Coldplay song. It was entitled Fix you and i just thought what a nice title so i clicked it.

After downloading them, i burned the songs to my cd and listened to them that night. I listened to that Coldplay song..I listened hard to the lyrics. And it was love at first sight.. or in my case love at first hearing [is the grammar right? i cant find the right word] .

Its really weird but starting from that day, i could constantly hear the band Coldplay being mentioned on TV or get to watch their videos. Its like after discovering them, MYX suddenly played their videos more often.Weird.

I sound really cheesy throughout this whole post, and to sound even cheesier, i cried when i heard that Coldplay song. Man, just listen to the song Fix you. It is really nice. And i was feeling really emotional that time because it was the first time that i got a line of 7 grade.. so i guess that added to the factors that made me cry.. Haay buhaaay..

Anyway, there are so many reasons why i love Coldplay but i believe the most important thing is because of that special ingredient they add to their songs that just make my heart skip a beat and makes my mind just take a break from everything whenever i hear their songs.

OOhhh..i just love them.. Here are some websites dedicated to them.
