I agree with you FloridaGuy... I think that Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall is about coping with grief and severe adversity which we humans suffer to the point of questioning whether we can live with the depth of debilitating grief and pain we experience... Listening to music and especially turning the music up is cathartic in that it shuts the world of negative thoughts out hence has an awe inspiring ability through tone, words etc that can lift the emotion out of the dark and into the light which can provide the oxygen to fuel a love to live from experiencing dark suicidal thoughts. "But my heart is beating and my pulses start...Cathedrals in my heart". In extreme pain/grief the heart beat can be frightening through rapid beats or slowing right down and music can stabilise it ... When experiencing deep grief it's only a matter of time with the right lyrics and sound that relief "(heaven) is in sight".
"Maybe I'm in the black, maybe I'm on my knees
Maybe I'm in the gap between the two trapezes
But my heart is beating and my pulses start
Cathedrals in my heart
I turn the music up
I'm on a roll this time
And heaven is in sight
So music is the gift, godsend and an amazing form of immediate intervention for relieving extreme grief and pain hence "So you can hurt, hurt me bad But still I'll raise the flag"
This song can save lives and that's how powerful songs are and our popular musicians as they have the power to promote harmlessness and empower the people.. Especially the next generation who really have much more adversity than we can imagine due to the information highway they have access to with limited knowledge and they cannot be expected to process it at their age.. they are being taught aggression and violence through particular media, music and games and we as a society are losing grip and life is becoming more disconnected and extremely difficult for many across the world... Be it wars, injustice, torture, drug addiction, sex addiction, murder, suicide, death of loved ones, kids molested and murdered, you name it's all happening and it's bloody hard at times to hear or believe you heart is still beating... Or believe the tears will stop flowing hence the waterfall...
Sting "Be Still My Beating Heart"... Has just come to mind!!!
So Bravo to Coldplay... Great Stuff!!!!
That's the first comment I have ever made about a song so it's obviously made a huge impression and has moved me... Thanks for the movement Chris and Coldplay!!!
Perfect, mate that is dead set spot on. Music plays a massive part in changing and promoting attitudes adn that is what it is about. Music helps people too, certainly helps me.
