Coldplay – Hymn for the Weekend Lyrics 9 years ago
not the usual Coldplay stuff indeed but not necessarily less than everything they've put out so far. i particularly enjoy this song and find it beautiful. you know why? this is a happy song, a celebration of feeling fine in a great interpretation. sure there is drink and drug in the lyrics but you know what music is about. you interpret it the way you want, every people is affected differently by music. for me this line says it all: "life is a drink, and love's a drug" i feel high and drunk without drinks or drugs, you're here to uplift me and make me happy.

to sum up, Chris might have wanted to write a a hardcore party song but it turned out to be a hymn for the weekend. don't be so negative, people, and believe in Coldplay. they know what they're doing.
