Coldplay

Excerpt:
Seven months after Coldplay released their heartbreaking Ghost Stories, the band is already back in the studio at work on their next LP, tentatively titled A Head Full of Dreams. However, in a radio interview with BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe, frontman and part-time U2 singer Chris Martin implied that Coldplay's next album, their seventh, might be their last.

"It's our seventh thing, and the way we look at it, it's like the last Harry Potter book or something like that," Martin said (via...

Excerpt:
Christmas night,
Another fight,
Tears we cried,
A flood
Got all kinds of poison in, of poison in my blood

I took my feet
To Oxford Street,
Trying to right a wrong
"Just walk away," those windows say, but I can't believe she's gone.

When you're still waiting for the snow to fall
It doesn't really feel like Christmas at all

Up above candles on air flicker
Oh they flicker and they flow
And I am up here holding on to all those chandeliers of hope

Excerpt:
The album art for Ghost Stories was etched by British based, Czech etching artist Mila Fürstová. The medieval art-driven artwork, measuring 100 by 100cm, features a pair of angel wings imposed onto a painting of an ocean under a sky at night. The angel wings themselves feature cryptic imagery of medieval-style drawings of fairly contemporary objects and concepts. The images include a couple in love, a man facing a mirror, a flight of white doves, a circular maze, a girl by candlelight, a window looking out onto an incoming tornado and a garden plant with a ladder, amongst other imagery...

'Cause you're a sky, 'cause you're a sky full of stars
I'm gonna give you my heart

Excerpt:
The song, written by the band with producer Jon Hopkins, was originally recorded by the band for their sixth studio album Ghost Stories. It appears as the fifth track on the album.
"Midnight" was built over an previously unreleased original track produced by Jon Hopkins in 2003. The track, named "Amphora", was never completed by Hopkins and was partly released by ambient/electronic music blog A Strangely Isolated Place on SoundCloud in early 2012, as part of their playlist "ASIP - 1.00.00". The song also incorporates elements from a Jon Hopkins recording titled by Hopkins as "The Fourth...

Excerpt:
Call it magic
Call it true
Call it magic
When I'm with you
And I just got broken
Broken into two
Still I call it magic
When I'm next to you

And I don't, and I don't and I don't, and I don't
No, I don't,
It's true
I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't want anybody else but you
I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't
No, I don't,
It's true
I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't want anybody else but you

Excerpt:
Once upon a time somebody ran
Somebody ran away saying 'fast as I can
I got to go, I got to go'
Once upon a time we fell apart
You're holding in your hands the two halves of my heart

Once upon a time we burned bright
Now all we ever seem to do is fight
On and on
And on and on and on

Once upon a time on the same side
Once upon a time on the same side
In the same game
Now why d'you have to go
Have to go and throw water on my flame?

Excerpt:
Stole a key
Took a car downtown where the lost boys meet
Took a car downtown and took what they offered me

To set me free
I saw the lights go down at the end of the scene
Saw the lights go down and standing in front of me

In my scarecrow dreams
When they smash my heart into smithereens
Be a bright red rose come bursting the concrete
Be a cartoon heart

Light a fire, a fire, a spark
Light a fire, a flame in my heart

Is Chris Martin also a cartoonist? The Coldplay frontman was pictured with a signed guitar and caricatures of each band member on it!

nd darker stuff like the austerely beautiful death meditation "Amsterdam" and the OK Computer-worthy "God Put a Smile Upon Your Face" showed the group had more than arena anthems on its mind.
