The variety of interpretations here is what makes this kind of song writing so genius. Everyone takes something different away. As a musician I can tell you that writing like this is very difficult. Tis a harpsichord on this song, not a piano people...very experimental for a alt rock group...hard to play this little riff too, I know from trying. Strings with lots of reverb and a little delay give it the open/ arena rock feel. I can attest hearing this live is delightful.
Meaning conjurs images of perserverance, defensive positions. I like what some said on here about when you are falling in love you are helpless despite how the other person feels, usually you keep trying (keep soldiering on to win the object of your desire) the heart heart usually wins over the head for most of us.
Peace to all fans of Colplay! Us staying interested will keep them interested over the longer haul. Viva Coldplay!
I read somewhere the instrument was called a tack piano, as in they put tacks in the hammers before playing it. Supposedly it's really bad for the piano but you're right, it's a unique sound.
