| Coldplay – Up with the Birds Lyrics

It's an uplifting ending to an album with many ups and downs. "Good things are coming our way" what a perfect choice of words to end the album. This is my favorite song on the album personally. When the song picks up and Chris begins chiming "Might have to go where they don't know my name" I can envision someone getting up from looking up into the skies to face the world again, telling himself to be a happy man regardless of life's situations. |

| Coldplay – Charlie Brown Lyrics

To me this song is about a dream that can't seem to come true; the music itself is a sense of desire. Think about the song title: Charlie Brown. If you've ever watched the old Charlie Brown shows then you know how Charlie Brown always had to settle for the short end of the stick, whether it was getting a rock for Halloween instead of candy or being tricked into kicking a football only to have it jerked away from him at the last second. To me this song symbolizes just those attributes. But this song is also very hopeful as Chris Martin encourages to "Be the cartoon heart". When I hear that line I think of the episode of Charlie Brown when all they had was a tiny Christmas tree and everyone was still happy - Cartoon heart. "We'll be glowing in the dark", this again provides the same message of having a hopeful heart. I love this song, when something goes wrong or I feel as though I'm on the short end of the stick in any situation, this is the perfect song. Music, lyrics, everything. |
